If the window you've selected to capture is a scrolling window, Snagit will grab the entire length and width of the window, not just what's visible.Īfter a window has been captured, it appears in an application window. There's one really cool feature of Snagit that comes into play in either capture mode. Bringing the crosshairs to bear on a window causes that window to be selected for capture.

In the all-in-one capture mode, clicking the red button brings up a set of gold crosshairs that you direct across the display using your trackpad or mouse. At this time, there are no effects and the app shows that the feature is coming soon. Once captured, it appears in a screen where you can annotate the screenshot in a number of ways, or add effects. Window capture mode displays all open windows Exposé-style, and you click on one of the windows to select it for capture.

There are two capture modes - all-in-one capture and window capture.

The tab has a drop-down for choosing the capture mode and a red button for taking the screen shot. The company has made the beta available for feedback on operation and features, so this is a perfect time to download the program and give it a try.Īfter installing the application and launching it, all that is visible is a small 'tab' that pops out from the side of the Mac screen when you hover over it. TechSmith has announced the public beta version of Snagit for Mac, and a first look at the application shows that it's a worthy screenshot snapper for the platform. Those switchers were probably also wishing that TechSmith would create a Mac version of their screen capture application, Snagit. Switchers were elated earlier this year when TechSmith, developers of the fabulous Camtasia screen recorder application for Windows, finally shipped their flagship app for the Mac.
