Techsmith Snagit Editor's Review

There is hardly any computer user who does not need to take screenshots once in a while. While Windows has an inbuilt screen capture utility which serves basic needs, it is Spartan for more demanding users. When you want more than capturing static screen content, a third party software fits the need better. There are several such Windows based screenshot capture utilities and some of them in fact do much more than taking screenshots. One notable instance is Techsmith Snagit. It has been in the industry since the early days of Windows and the latest version offers enhanced functionality and loads of features.

The app has a download size of 59.2 MB and supports Windows XP and later versions. Those using Windows XP need to have service pack 2 installed and the app supports only 32-bit version. It also requires Internet Explorer 8.0 or later versions installed. Compared to most third party screen capture utilities, Snagit requires enhanced hardware configuration. For video capture, the company recommends systems with 2 GB RAM and 2.4 GHz dual core CPU. Mac users with older machines have no luck as the app runs only on Intel based Macs. Installation is quick and easy and does not require much user interaction.

After you install the app, Snagit overrides default Print Screen key functionality of Windows. When you run the application, you are greeted with a dialog with a red button prompting for a screen shot. You get many options like including mouse pointer and setting timer. There are other options to let you start capturing activity on entire screen as video and text-scraping web pages. You may configure any key to begin capturing instead of PrtSc key on keyboard. The timer feature is handy when you need to open something like a drop-down menu and want that to be recorded as well. The limitation of text capture is that it lacks OCR for getting text from PDF and Flash sites.

Snagit offers a feature called profiles that lets you define what will be captured when you press the shortcut key. In default mode, you get cross-hairs pair on screen. You may choose to insert screen captures in apps like MS word or post it to social media sites.

Snagit comes with an inbuilt image editor that can be used to perform basic image retouching and tweaking before you mail it or use it for other needs. The image editor supports saving images in many formats, like flash and PDF. Users can add borders and blur part of an image. This version of Snagit support MPEG-4 for video recording. While you can obtain individual frames from video, you cannot modify it. For adding special effects or adding titles, you will have to use other apps. For video capture, you can include microphone audio but the file size limit is 1 GB.

Positive Points:
 -  Myriads of screen capture features.
 -  Inclusion of timer is handy.
 -  Integrated image editor with lots of effects.
 -  Uploading to Tube and Twitter can be automated.
 -  Text capture from web pages.

Negative Points:
 -  Steep price compared to rival apps.
 -  Steep hardware requirements, will not run on older PCs smoothly.
 -  Text capture without OCR ineffective on PDF and Flash.
 -  Spartan video editor lacks tweaking and features.
 -  Image editor has no feature for reverting.

Conclusion:
Techsmith Snagit is a feature rich and versatile screen capture utility that actually does much more than capturing screen shots. Its image editor and video recording features can suit needs of commercial users well. However, the steep licensing cost and high hardware requirements can act as deal breakers for many home users.

Rating: 4.0/5
