A Tutorial For Snagit

Snagit is a screen capturing software program for Microsoft Windows developed by TechSmith that enables you to capture screenshots of anything and everything on your computer screen. By capturing your computer screen, you can create user guides to send to your friends, create images and create images from a video file. Download and install Snagit to take advantage of this comprehensive screenshot program. As of 2010, Snagit 10 is the current version of this software.


Instructions








1. Download and install the free trial version of Snagit (see Resources).


2. Launch Snagit.


3. Open the file you wish to capture by clicking "File," "Open." You can open AVI, image, text and Snagit capture files.

5. Click a capture profile from the Profiles section. SnagIt has capture profiles or types of capturing modes for you to choose from, such as Full Screen and Copy to Clipboard.
