TechSmith just released an updated version of Jing, the very easy-to-use screen capture tool that can record both static image screenshots and desktop movies.
Like SnagIt, the new release of Jing can directly upload your screenshot images to the Flickr website.
Videos created with Jing are Flash SWF movies that can also be embedded in web pages using Adobe Share.
If you have a web hosting space with FTP access, Jing can even upload your screenshots and video screencasts to any directory on your FTP server directly.
Jing is available for both Mac and Windows. It’s currently in beta and free for now but Jing could go commercial in future when it sheds the beta level.
In related news, TechSmith is still giving away full licensed versions of Camtasia Studio 3 and Snagit 7.2.5 for free.
