Snagit costs $25 for an academic, one-user licence. I plan to use Snagit which is a good product especially designed for making tutorials, for example to explain the use of software. Snagit has a variety of capture modes and a a fairly usable web page creation tool into which it will automatically embed the various types of screen capture (particularly screen capture images and videos). I plan to get to work on this as soon as Moodle 1.2 comes out. I will be using screen capture videos, demonstrating the stages in setting up a Moodle course and adding some forums, quizzes, and word/htlm resources in the very near future. I will also be able to help Mitsu translate Tutorials into Japanese. Now you’re ready to share with one of Snagit’s many sharing options.Ī quick way to share your image is to click the Copy All button, then paste it in a message, document, or other communication tool.I know that this is not going to be of much use to the majority of Moodlers but I plan to create a tutorial in Japanese. To learn more about all the tools available in Snagit, see the Tools tutorials. Quickly create a how-to guide with your captures with templates.Create a video to share information with your team from the images you’ve captured.Make quick edits to the video you’ve captured of your screen.Redact sensitive information with the Simplify tool.Create a theme with colors, fonts, and turn shadows off or on.Remove unwanted sections with the Cut Out tool.Add steps to help visually guide someone through a process with the Step tool.Use the Selection tool to mock-up an image.Draw attention to parts of your capture with tools like callouts.Once you have captured your image or video, it opens in the Snagit Editor. Use the crosshairs to select a window, fullscreen capture, or click and drag to select a region of your screen. All-in-One tab: Select image, video, or start a scrolling image capture.Video tab: Make a video recording with or without Picture-in-Picture or Screen Draw.Image tab: Capture a still image or screenshot.The Capture Window is where you select how you would like to record your screen.

Let’s start with a quick tour of Snagit’s two main parts: the Capture Window and the Snagit Editor. One of the most common uses of Snagit is to simply take and share a screenshot, but Snagit can do so much more.
