IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
As a technical writer, my tasks usually involve recording short tutorial videos, taking screenshots of user software, and creating simple graphics. Snagit is the go-to tool I use for any media-related work when creating documentation.
I am able to create short 30-second gifs to explain brief scenarios.
I also record long, over 15-minute tutorial videos with audio.
Screenshots are a big part of user documentation, and with Snagit I am able to take shots of various sizes and customize them with arrows, shapes, text, etc to create meaningful images for the user.
Snagit also gives me flexibility when customizing media; I can trim videos, and even modify the custom tools for creating meaningful images. Navigation and control are pretty straightforward, and I enjoy the fact that I can have access to recent screenshots I have taken even if I am yet to save them.

Pros
- The Snagit editor is a robust but very easy-to-use application.
- The Snagit capture widget has a very simple interface to record or take shots of screens.
- The Snagit library is a gold mine as it gives access to all files ever captured on Snagit, whether I saved them or not.
- The Create feature in the Snagit Editor is such a creative way to show a process from videos and images using predefined templates.
Cons
- I would like to be able to scroll while capturing a screen so that I can capture a long screen.
- GIF quality could also be improved.
- I love Snagit the way it is!
