Jing is a computer service

That let’s you capture
basic video,

animation, and still
images

and share them in the
web.

Jing captures anything
you want to see

on your computer screen,

and let’s you share it
constantly.

It looks like the image below

the faint one without the
mouse cursor.

Taking your first capture

Jing can capture your
entire screen, a window,

or a specific area of the
screen you specify.

This is how you start your
capture.

Mouse-over the sun and three
little rays appear.

Click capture to initiate the
capture process.

Select an area of your
screen to capture.

You can select a window,
part of a window,

or click and drag the cross-
hairs to select a region.

Decide if you want to
capture an image or
video.

For this first capture, we
suggest you click
the Image button.

You can add arrows, text
and highlights to images.

If you decide to record a
video,

Note: If you have a
microphone, you can
narrate your video

in addition to capturing
the action on the screen.

Videos are limited to 5
minutes in length for Jing.

Narrating a quick video is
a great way

to show someone exactly
what you mean.

If it's the first time you're
making a video,

Jing will ask you which
audio device you'd like to
use.

Click Capture Video Icon

There is a 3-second
countdown before you're
on!

The yellow filmstrip-like
vertical bands start
scrolling

to indicate a recording is
in progress.

Click the Pause button to
gather your thoughts

or bring a new window or
application into the
recording area.

Click the Restart button if
you made a blunder

and just want to start the
recording over.

Click Stop to conclude
recording.

Your video is displayed in
the Jing Preview window.

Check to make sure the
audio sounds right

and you recorded
everything you meant to.

Now it's time to save or
share the video.

Saving a video and then
attaching it to an email

or others can be
problematic.

A lot of computers don't
know how to open

the videos created with
the free version of Jing.

Often you need to drag the
video into a web browser
to play it.

A better solution might be
to use the Screencast.com
button

then share the link with
others.

People that click the link
see what you captured.

What is Screencast.com?

Screencast.com is
TechSmith's media hosting
solution and it works
great with Jing.

Jing uses Screencast.com
to securely host your
content

since it's perfect for the
kind of images and videos

you'll want to make with
Jing.
