I see a similar topic was posted over 2 years ago about this...the weird thing is, I used to be able to copy and paste an image from snagit right into a teams chat with no problem. Within the last few months or so, I can no longer do this. Did any settings change in regards to this? I find it very counterproductive to have to save the image, then upload it from where I saved it and download it into Teams. Thanks in advance!
Finally, Snagit videos are much more lightweight than videos recorded with QuickTime. I took a video with Snagit and with QuickTime, trimmed them both to four seconds of elapsed time, and found the QuickTime MOV file was five times larger than my Snagit MP4.
I take a LOT of screenshots and videos. Sometimes, I need to review what the software looked like during prior testing, so I can tell if something changed. Snagit will show Recent images along the bottom of the current view in Editor mode and will let you filter and sort your historical captures in the Library view. You can zoom in and out, to show five across or one at a time. It also has filters on month and year.
Snagit has many features I use to create videos, screenshots, and GIFs, and has many tools to edit the media so viewers immediately see the area(s) of the image or video I want them to focus on. Being able to go back and see what action/data triggered an unexpected error is also extremely helpful. Referring to older images lets me identify unintended changes over time. All of these features help me give developers the information they need to understand the problem, so they can fix the code faster.
Extra tips:
1) A canvas border is added to screenshots by default on Mac. To suppress that, follow the steps in -to-get-rid-of-the-screenshot-drop-shadow-in-macos.html.
2) Snagit > Settings > Capture Settings > Open system screenshots and videos in Snagit to capture screenshots with the system hotkeys (less keystrokes)
3) To change the Capture hotkey, open Snagit Capture, click the text field under the capture button, and then type the hotkey you wish to use for your Global Capture Hotkey.
Miranda, thanks for sharing the value of Snagit! As the QA Manager at TechSmith I appreciate when testers find value in it! We just released a webinar sharing some of our favorite features for software testers: -snagit-like-a-software-tester/
