I have had a great fondness of the Jing application ever since I discovered it back in July. Today techsmith.com have introduced  Jing Pro with some great new features. The official spiel goes as follows:

Today marks an exciting and long awaited milestone for Jing. After endless feedback and requests from passionate users like you, we are pleased to announce Jing Pro!

Jing Pro brings you simply the best-in-class experience for quick visual online conversation. Imagine everything you already know and love about Jing, then add:

• HD quality video for the web
• Direct output to YouTube
• No more branding on the end of your videos.

Pretty sweet, huh? Best yet, it’s only $14.95/yr. (Yep, that’s a mere 28.8 cents a week)

Now, for you video gurus out there, Jing Pro now encodes in real-time directly to H.264/MPEG-4 AVC as well as the SWF format Jing has been using. This provides ample flexibility to share your Jing Pro videos just about anywhere. And for those who have been itching to tweak their Jing videos, these new Jing Pro videos will import into Camtasia Studio 6 and iMovie to edit, merge or anything you want.

Of course you’re probably thinking, “Oh – here’s the catch now they are going to make us all upgrade to Jing Pro, right?” Nope, that’s not our style You can continue to use Jing for free just as you always have (in fact, even the free version received a couple enhancements today). Our commitment is still focused on bringing simple visual communication to the world. We just realized that a lot of you needed just a little bit more and Jing Pro is here to answer that call.

So, enough talk – let’s Jing! You can check out Jing and Jing Pro at www.jingproject.com.

Full review on the way.

With my delve into the world of youtube I have finally started on the path to becoming a web 2.0 ninja. The first of my many trials is to start recording a few video tutorials.

However as I develop on both a mac and pc I need a solution that would enable recording on both and ideally for FREE, Jing does just that.

SO WHATS A JING

The concept of Jing is the always-ready program that instantly captures and shares images and video…from your mac or pc computer to anywhere.

Think of Jing as a supplement to all your chat discussions, email threads, forum posts and blog entries. It sits nicely on your desktop, ready to capture and share your stuff at a moment’s notice. Simply select an area of your screen, capture it as an image or record it as a video, and then click Share. Jing conveniently places a URL to your content which you can paste into any of your conversations.
