Overall Satisfaction with Snagit

As a technical writer, my tasks usually involve recording short tutorial videos, taking screenshots of user software, and creating simple graphics. Snagit is the go-to tool I use for any media-related work when creating documentation.

I am able to create short 30-second gifs to explain brief scenarios.
I also record long, over 15-minute tutorial videos with audio.
Screenshots are a big part of user documentation, and with Snagit I am able to take shots of various sizes and customize them with arrows, shapes, text, etc to create meaningful images for the user.

Snagit also gives me flexibility when customizing media; I can trim videos, and even modify the custom tools for creating meaningful images. Navigation and control are pretty straightforward, and I enjoy the fact that I can have access to recent screenshots I have taken even if I am yet to save them.
  • The Snagit editor is a robust but very easy-to-use application.
  • The Snagit capture widget has a very simple interface to record or take shots of screens.
  • The Snagit library is a gold mine as it gives access to all files ever captured on Snagit, whether I saved them or not.
  • The Create feature in the Snagit Editor is such a creative way to show a process from videos and images using predefined templates.
  • I would like to be able to scroll while capturing a screen so that I can capture a long screen.
  • GIF quality could also be improved.
  • I love Snagit the way it is!
  • Snagit Editor
  • Snagit Capture widget
  • Ease of use
  • Gathering media for user documentation is easy and fast.
  • Saving, accessing, and reusing media captured with Snagit has saved time for my team and me.
  • Getting new team members up to speed with Snagit is fairly easy due to the simple controls and nagivation features.
Skitch, compared to Snagit, is a basic screen capture image editing tool. Skitch is also really easy to use and provides good screenshots for tutorials, user manuals, and blogs. However, Snagit is more robust and streamlined and is still an incredibly easy-to-use solution.

Snagit is great for creating tutorial videos, you can record yourself talking or have Snagit record your system sounds.
It is also great for taking snippets from different views: fullscreen, panoramic, grab text, etc.
