Snagit Tutorials

[ad]

Hello Everyone!

I have searched high and low to find you Snagit videos with which I hope you will get great tips on how to use Snagit and may help you with some of your questions regarding the software.

These videos were made to show you demonstrations based from the different features of Snagit. For those who have been using Snagit, new-users or even non-users, there are actually a lot of tips that you can get from these videos especially if you’re still familiarizing yourself with it .

These tutorials cover many different subjects. There’s the Basics of Snagit for New Users, Snagit increase productivity, Snagit firefox scrolling problem, Demonstration of Snagit for video capture and Capturing the screen with Snagit which is as easy as one-two-three.

Here are the videos. Enjoy!

I really like the tutorial…It’s very helpful and gives me more knowledge in using my Snagit.

Keep it up!

Thanks for the wonderful website. I was wondering if you could post a tutorial on how to rotate an image along the z axis. I am not sure how to describe it, but you generally see this sort of thing in book promotions. They don’t just have a 2D pic of a book, it’s rotated for depth.

I figure I could take a screen shot, add a shadow, then rotate along a z axis for the effect shown here:

However, I have no idea how to do this. Any help would be great!

Hi Ted,

Now you made me blush 🙂 Thanks for the nice comment about the website.

To rotate and get depth of an image like the book you are mentioning you can do this by going to Image/Effects and then chose perspective. That gives you the ability to create the depth in z-axis.

Here you see the effect used on the SuperStamps image “Apply”. Below you see the original and above the effect has been added. To get a good result you normally need to shrink the image size slightly after applying the effect.

Snagit Perspective Effect

I hope this helps.

I cannot figure out why the callout feature is not working on SnagIt 10.0. I just had it installed on my work PC, however, when I click on it, I am unable to input any text. I’m stumped.

Hi Brian,

Please explain further. Can you add the callout, but not the text or what happens?

Can you explain how to make a picture postcard with five/six jpegs

peter on February 22, 2012 at 8:08 am

Hi David,

The easiest way is to decide the size you want and set up a new document in the editor. Then simple drag and resize each jpg and place them where you want to have them. You can experiment with border effects to create a unique collage.

I also recommend SuperStamps Monsters if you want to add effects to your images:

Have fun with photos

Thanks. i do not see how to open a new document in the editor. when i open the editor

1 the last project is already in the editor. How to get a blank?

2 the captures from past projects are still there.

Think 2 is normal?

peter on February 22, 2012 at 12:10 pm

David, to create a blank document in the editor, click the Snagit logo in the upper left corner and chose New.

Yes, all images/previous captures are stored by Snagit and you can access them in the editor by chosing date for example.

Thanks!

I have a problem with capturing a picture. It works fine with administrator account but when I try to capture an image with a user account that also has administrator rights it doesn’t show any picture. It’s just blank screen in the Snagit program. Could anyone be able to tell me what seems to be the problem here? I have fully deleted it and re-install it and it doesn’t help.

peter on July 8, 2012 at 4:25 am

Is this on the same computer? If it’s on different computers it seems the computer run not as administrator has the graphics acceleration active. See this post for solution:

Lauri on July 9, 2012 at 2:33 am

It’s on the same computer. I can’t change the hardware acceleration settings because it’s grayed out. So apparently my gpu doesn’t support that feature.
I tried running the Snagit in compatability mode for XP SP3 and changed the theme to Windows Basic and neither of them helped. I have WIN7 installed.
