The first time I came across the Jing Project I was looking for a solution for recording my desktop into a video format so that I may include in some instructional projects. I initially bookmarked it as an interesting idea but moved on in search of a product that would create a video format I could edit in a video editing application. I soon returned and installed it to quickly create and share some tips with my brother. I was very impressed with the ease of use and sharing.
The power of this tool created by TechSmith is that you can create a quick recording of the entire desktop, a specific window or drag a box around an area to record. This Mac and Windows friendly application can either capture an image or video to share in an e-mail, blog, IM or on your web site. The Jing Project allows you to save your image or video file to a media hosting server – on Screencast.com – that can be viewed via a link. You also have the option to save the file to your computer as a SWF file.
This is a project that TechSmith says will become something else with the guidance of users input. To better understand what Jing is all about watch this video.
