Jing Pro Does HD Quality Screencast Videos for YouTube
January 6, 2009
Well, it was only a matter of time. The special “project” from Techsmith named Jing for screen capture has gone Pro! They will also still have the free version that has become very popular for capturing screen shots as well as video but now, for $15 a year, you can snag up to 1290×720 screens encoded in H.264 or MPEG-4 format.
The really cool thing about this is that the new HQ features of YouTube take advantage of these settings.
Here’s a sample video using the HD 16:9 aspect ration that YouTube now likes:

This was created and rendered in Camtasia version 6 but the result is the same.
Capture your video in Jing and shoot it directly up to YouTube, Vimeo, or FaceBook. If you want to put the YouTube video on your web page, don’t forget to add “&fmt=18″ (without the quotes) to the end of the URL to display it in HQ.
With the Pro version, the Jing branding at the beginning and end of the videos? Gone!
And if you want…edit your capture in Camtasia Studio. There is also a Mac version.
So now there is no excuse (like the 300 bones for Camtasia Studio!) NOT to start making killer screencasts.
Of course, to learn how to do THAT, head over to Screencastprofits.com
