Or maybe we use this graphic in a presentation or some other way, but this is pretty much where our exploration of Snagit ends at this point, just using it as a capture tool. Then we copy and paste it or send this as a document to somebody else within our team so that they can identify exactly what it is we're referring to. We use it to capture something on the screen, we mark it up to communicate something. And for many of us, we never get beyond this level of using Snagit. So you've got lots of different, simple markup features. We've got a series of different tools that allow us to do everything from blurring out a sensitive information that you might not want to send different arrows, that we can use to identify things that we want to point out within any document. And we can repurpose this any way we want here along the top. And then we release the mouse and it captures that document.Īnd then it brings us into the Snagit editor, allowing us to edit that document and to start to mark it up so that we can share it, or we can just store it. We highlight whatever it is that we want to capture. We click capture it, converts into our familiar crosshairs. Most of us probably just never even leave this particular menu. We are brought into the capture window, allowing us to choose if we want to capture video or audio or in all in one document or just the region. So when we open Snagit, we are, we are brought into this. And I don't even know if we even think anymore about the fact that the wonderful fact that regardless of what we can see on our screen, we can use Snagit to capture it, to utilize it and to repurpose it. And we decided that there's something on our screen. It lives up here in the very top of Snagit is right there available to us within with the other utilities in the top menu bar and in windows, it's exact same thing except that lives in the bottom utility tray.Īnd when we use Snagit, this is what we see when we open Snagit. We just use it for simple screen capture for the most part, but also where it lives and how we invoke the, we invoke the process in the Mac. And I think the biggest reason most of us use it, think of it as a utility is I think typically we just use it as a utility. ![]() Let's begin and unpack this concept that we look at Snagit as a utility, and I am presenting the premise that it is actually an app. So this video is brought to you by the good folks at TechSmith. And specifically, I'm talking about using Snagit in this particular case for content creation, for creating tutorials and step-by-step guides that you can use in all in a whole wide variety of ways within your business.Īnd it was a delight, as I say, to discover this within Snagit, but before we begin in the spirit of full disclosure, I need to thank our friends at TechSmith for their general contribution, making this particular video possible. So I'm going to walk you through kind of that discovery process and show you in a little more detail, the depth of the sorts of things that you can use Snagit for. I've discovered a few new processes that we're able to take advantage of in our day-to-day business, that weren't there before, that are really beneficial. And this is one of those applications that has, as I say, deleted me, it has it as I have started to use it more and dive into more of the features. And as promised today, we're going to try and give Snagit it's due. And that is what we are going to explore today on Dotto Tech. And we typically use it for quick little things, but it has potential, it has potential to do oh, so much more. We've never given it the do of being a full blown app, but instead we've looked at it as a utility and that's understandable because it lives in the utility tray. It's the reason is that we've always defined Snagit as a utility. ![]() I think that a lot of us under utilize or kind of appreciate what Snagit brings to the table. And it caused me to think I had a bit of a pivot. And I have to tell you, using Snagit has been one of the real joys of this year because I have discovered so much more that Snagit does than I anticipated would be the case when I started to use it more. And I have increasingly being using Snagit to help me create content, not just for the YouTube channel, but also for our course content and for the different webinars that I deliver. We're using TechSmith video review as a part of our editing process to work with, with our different team members. Now, by the TechSmith tools I'm talking about, we're recording this and editing this video right now in Camtasia. We started using the TechSmith suite of tools to produce our YouTube videos. At the start of this year, we made a pretty big change here at Dotto Tech. ![]()
