TechSmith Capture is no longer available, it's now replaced by Snagit.

I've been using Techsmith Capture for many years (at least 15) and I've always found it to be excellent. They added video capture and I liked it even more.

What I don't like now (hence the rating) is that if I close the app because I've already captured, 5–10 seconds go by, and it reopens for a second use. By that time I've already started working on something else and when it opens, it overlaps what I'm doing and makes a big mess. It has to have an option to close for good or close for a second use (for which it also takes time).

If I want to make two cuts in a row, I have to close the app and wait the same 5-10 seconds for it to reopen. In these times of immediacy, those 5-10 seconds are not forgiven.

If they could just fix that, it would be excellent. Now I'm looking for an alternative, because it really annoys me.

What is TechSmith Capture?

Whether for work, home, or play, TechSmith Capture provides a simple, free way to create basic screenshots and screen recordings and share them with others.

With the imminent discontinuation of Adobe’s support for and development of Adobe Flash, Jing’s use of the .SWF Flash video format will no longer be possible, thus Jing will be discontinued and replaced with TechSmith Capture.

Because we are passionate about making it easy for anyone to teach, train, and explain concepts visually, TechSmith is committed to offering a free screen capture and screen recording tool for our customers. This brought us an opportunity to build a new, more modern no-cost solution for our users. TechSmith Capture offers modernized enhancements including a new approach to the User Interface that better aligns with our other flagship screen capture products, Snagit and Camtasia.

TechSmith Capture offers a number of features, including: • New, modernized video capture, including longer video recording, as well as webcam and system audio recording. • Share to your Screencast or TechSmith Knowmia account. • Updated video format output to .MP4.

For screenshots, TechSmith Capture offers: • Full screen and regional image capture. • The ability to share screenshots to TechSmith cloud services such as Screencast, as well as save to your local drive, or copy and paste into a document. • Simple image annotation tools, including an arrow, rectangle, highlighter, and a callout with font face and size control.
