Snagit is a tool that you can use to easily take a snapshot of your screen, edit it, and then send it to an application or website.It is designed for users with any experience level, as you can clearly see when initiating the software. Two video clips are available in the Snagit Message Center, for both novices (to learn how to get acquainted with Snagit) and power uses (to find out what's new in this version).
The Snagit interface (which is user-friendly and attractive) is mainly divided into five parts - the menu bar, quick launch, related tasks, profiles, and profile settings.
Here, you can choose one of the basic capture shortucts called Profiles - all-in-one, full screen, copy to clipboard (with or without preview), web page as PDF with links, free hand, or menu with time delay.
Below that section you can change the profile settings for a capture - mode and input, output, and effects. Once you have configured this, press the Print Screen key or click the red button. A selection tool that criss-crosses the screen appears, so you can easily choose the part of the screen you want to capture, by using the click-and-drag method.
In the Snagit Editor you can apply touchups to your captures, organize and share them with your friends. You can completely customize Snagit Editor, batch convert images, assign flags (e.g. important, idea, personal), use the library to organize captures, use canvas, add callouts, arrows and stamps, and more.
You can easily get lost in this software. Its user guide and video tutorials are wonderfully built. However, Snagit has its downsides in the trial edition (e.g. you can only capture video up to 2GB). Also, the Editor takes a while to apply effects.
All in all, Snagit definitely deserves to be taken into consideration, whether you already know how to use this type of program or not. It consumes a small amount of system memory, and the price for the full version is cheap
