Techsmith Releases Snagit 2024, an Impressive Screen Recorder for Mac Users
Techsmith’s Snagit has always been a popular choice for users looking for a simple yet feature-rich screen recorder. In 2022, we were fans of its easy-to-use interface and full macOS compatibility. However, with the release of Camtasia, another offering from Techsmith that also supports macOS, Snagit needed to step up its game. And step up it did with the release of Snagit 2024.
One of the best things about Snagit 2024 is that there is no price increase since 2022. You can purchase the software outright with a one-time fee for a perpetual license that includes one year of product updates. And despite the struggling economy, Snagit still costs the same as it did back then – $63. Additionally, any purchase of Snagit includes one year of maintenance updates, allowing you to get the next major revision for free if you time it right.
The interface of Snagit 2024 remains unchanged from the previous version, which is not a criticism at all. It’s familiar and easy to navigate. Capturing screenshots or screen captures is as simple as clicking the red button in the top left corner of the interface. From there, you can choose what to capture, add effects, and even take a photo from your webcam simultaneously. Snagit also offers numerous tools for customization, allowing you to add call-outs, arrows, text, and more.
One notable addition to Snagit 2024 is the cursor focus feature. This feature makes it easy for viewers to keep track of the cursor’s location in tutorial videos. By using the highlight and click animation options, you can ensure that the cursor is clearly visible and that viewers can easily follow along.
While Snagit’s video editing capabilities are still limited, the ability to combine videos is a welcomed addition. This simple feature allows users to merge multiple videos into one, making editing a bit easier. However, we still hope to see more robust video editing features in future versions of Snagit.
Another aspect worth mentioning is Snagit’s integration with Techsmith Screencast, a collaborative tool for sharing captures with others. Users can upload their Snagit content to Techsmith’s servers and share it via a link. This feature allows for easy collaboration and provides accessibility features such as captions and audio descriptions.
In conclusion, Techsmith’s Snagit 2024 is a powerful screen recorder for Mac users. With its easy-to-use interface, customization options, and new features like cursor focus and video combining, Snagit is a valuable tool for capturing and editing content. While some may prefer more advanced editing capabilities, Snagit’s affordability and versatility make it a great choice for most users.
If you’re still not sure if Snagit is right for you, you can try it out with a 15-day free trial. So why wait? Give Snagit 2024 a try and experience the power of this top-notch screen recorder.
