today we are going to take a first look at the brand new snagit 2022 so what is snagit and why would you use it snagit allows you to screenshot and also video record your pc screen once you capture your screenshot snagit comes with an incredibly powerful editor that you can use to annotate your screenshot now you might be thinking this sounds an awful lot like the snipping tool that comes pre-installed and also for free with windows and it’s true there are a lot of similarities but it’s kind of like comparing microsoft paints to adobe photoshop if you need to communicate steps or document processes snagit just makes all of that so much easier we’re going to start with how you can even get snagit then we’ll look at how you can use it and i’ll also highlight what’s new with the 2022 version alright let’s check this out to get snagit you can click on the link up above and i’ve also included a link in the description down below once you land on the website you can purchase a license and that costs about sixty dollars or you can also sign up for a free 15-day trial that way you can test it out to see if it’ll make your job any easier once you finish installing you’ll land in the capture tool and this is what you’ll use to both screenshot and also video record your screen everyone keeps asking me what is the recipe for the famous chocolate chip cookies at the kevin cookie company everyone seems to think that it’s a secret recipe but little do people know we have it freely available on our website i’m going to use snagit today to pull together a processed document that shows people how to get to our recipe within the capture tool you have the all in one tool this allows you to take both screenshots and to record videos if you want to configure some of the settings up front here i can click into image or video here i could change things like the selection area how i want to share it or whether i want to turn on my webcam while i record my video as i go through and i change these different settings i can save a preset and that way i can get back to this configuration very quickly in the future i just want to stick with the basics so i’ll go with the all-in-one tool all of the defaults here look good so i’ll click on capture now as an alternative you can also use the hotkey down below in my case it happens to be print screen here i’ll click on capture now i can select the area that i want to capture or i could use one of the suggestions here as an example when i hover over my browser window you’ll see that it just highlights the website and it ignores the browser chrome that’s a pretty nice design also as i hover over the browser window you’ll see these different arrow icons these allow me to take a scrolling screenshot so what is that well you’ll notice that the entire website doesn’t quite fit on my screen this allows me to take a screenshot of the entire website also a nice feature i’ll click on this arrow icon and look at that i now have a screenshot of the full kevincookiecompany.com homepage and that looks beautiful now of course i want to screenshot the end to end flow i’ll go back to the capture tool and here i am on the website now i’ll go up and click on recipes on the recipes page i want to take another screenshot here so once again i’ll capture this page this looks good i’ll go back once again and this time i’ll click on chocolate chip cookie and once again i’ll take another screenshot on this page now this is the recipe that turned us into a billion dollar company so hopefully you get the chance to make this recipe and also enjoy our cookies let’s now click on open editor and within the editor at the very bottom i can see my library of recent screen captures and here we see the three screenshots that i just took up above i can also open up the full library experience and the really neat thing here is i can see where i took all of my screenshots so it makes getting back to content really easy here for example i can see all of my screen captures from my browser or i can see all of my screen captures from a specific website the new feature in 2022 is your library is now synced across different cloud providers what that means is let’s say you have a second pc also with snagit installed you can get the same exact library of content across all of your different devices let’s now go back into the main editor view back on the main editor screen i now want to create a flow that communicates how you can get to our cookie recipe in the top left hand corner i’ll click on the create icon and then i’ll select image from template here i see a bunch of different templates that i can choose from now i just want to keep things basic so i’ll select basic two step first i need to type in a title i’ll type in how to bake chocolate chip cookies for the flow i’ll go down to the bottom and i’ll select my first screen capture here i can drag it up and release and that’s now part of this flow next i’ll type in a description i’ll do it again for the second step here i’ll select the image and i’ll drag it up to the top and here too i’ll also type in a description now this is a basic two-step flow but i have three steps in my flow so do i need to go back and create a new template well over here i can click on this plus icon and i can add another step to this template when i click on this now once again i’ll go down and i’ll select my screen capture i’ll drag it up and here once again i’ll type in a description i’ve got my flow now but i want to make things extremely clear here i have all of these different tools that i can use to accomplish that i can insert an arrow text callouts shapes and when i click on more i have even more tools that i can use first let’s add an arrow that points at recipes next i also want to add text that says click here let me also redact the coupon code since it’s not currently available on the next screen here again i’ll add an arrow and this time i’ll point it at c recipe on the last screen here i’ll add a call out that says here you go to make it a little more fun i’ll also add some cookie stamps around it now that i finish the flow i’m ready to share this out with the world in the top right hand corner i can copy it to my clipboard and then i could paste this anywhere alternatively i can also click on the share icon and look at all of these different places that i can share it to i’ll select email now let’s say instead of an image for my flow i’d rather just record a video i can do that as well using snagit back within the capture tool once again i’ll select the all in one tool here i can select the website and now i can click on the video icon and new in 2022 i can now include my webcam while i record my screen once i’m all done recording all of my steps back in snagit i have some very basic video editing i can cut out different portions and then i can save as a gif or i can export a frame as a png the screen recorder in snagit allows you to record some pretty decent videos but if you want to edit them once again the functionality is fairly limited techsmith has another product called camtasia that also allows you to record video but the video editing capabilities are far beyond what you’ll find in snagit alright well that’s a first look at snagit 2022 if you decide to bake the kevin cookie company chocolate chip cookies use the hashtag kevincookiecompany i’d love to see what you end up creating to watch more videos like this one please consider subscribing all right i’ll see you next time [Music] [Music] you
