I decided to download the ScreenFlow app, since there were lots of comparisons to Camtasia in reviews on the Web. However, it is the perfect replacement for Jing! Thanks so much to Shelly and who suggested I try it. It worked like a charm for video, but, alas, could not capture system audio. I asked for help from my Twitter PLN and let me know that QuickTime Pro on the Mac now had a screen recording component. I then tried the new SnagIt to see if it recorded system audio, but it kept crashing on the Macbook Air. (I was using my 13.3" Macbook Air.)Ĭamtasia allowed me to re-size the screen, but it did not capture the video, just the audio. I knew I had successfully screen captured video and system audio with Camtasia, so I started there. I also needed to bring in some system sound with some of the apps I was screen casting (which Jing does not do). However, since Jing Pro ( ) is going away and with it the option to save locally (you will still be able to save Jings to ), I thought I should probably try another option to get more comfortable with it. I set the screen capture area, used the iPad to showcase the application I want to screencast, saved the result to my computer, and plunked it into Keynote. I turned to Jing Pro to do that type of thing, since it never has failed to deliver.

However, today I set a task list for myself which included creating 40+ screencasts of the iPad as it appeared on the laptop screen via the Reflection app. I love learning new things and figuring out the way things work. I do not often get frustrated with technology. Thanks to dieselbug2007 on Flickr for this shot.
