New features in Snagit 2018 include:

[Image: TWHsMoN.png]

Grab Text: Snagit captures way more than just images. Grab Text magically pulls out the text from a screen capture or file. And since you can paste it into another document for edits, you'll work faster, rather than wasting time with endless typing.

Text Replace: Snagit recognizes the text in your screenshots for quick editing. Change the font, colors, and size of the text in your screenshots without affecting the look and feel.

 Other improvements include updates to the desktop video recording feature. Snagit 2018 allows for higher frame rate desktop recording for smoother, more professional recordings, as well as better quality webcam capture and better stability. And, it does it all using fewer CPU resources than ever before.

Video Improvements (Windows):

The webcam recorder was redesigned to capture up to 4x as many pixels for sharper videos right from the start. And now you can record at an even higher frame rate for smoother, more professional recordings.

Additional Blur Options (Mac):

A new improvement to the blur options on Mac was added. You can now choose between smooth blur or pixellate.
Snagit 2018 also marks the first release where the date designates the version number. Now, it’s easier than ever for users to know which version they use because Snagit for Windows and Mac will be designated by the year rather than a separate version number.

Hack Learning with Animated GIFs:



As people become busier, it’s the author’s job to make sure the content we create is scannable and easy to follow. Nobody likes long, drawn out instructions. The use GIFs for instruction is of great help as GIFs are easier to follow than a series of still images, animated GIFs are easier to create than a polished video, play automatically and explain a process without any narration.

Screenshots make your Microsoft Word Doc, PowerPoint, and Email Better:

Screenshots help you to use fewer words in word documents, add personality to PowerPoint Presentations, add a touch of humor and add excitement to Emails

Turn PowerPoint Slides into Videos:

Turning your presentations into videos helps keep your audience engaged, giving it more personality and they can learn from your content more effectively. There may be times where you need to have your presentation in video – it will be sent to supervisors, coworkers, or clients, and you won’t be able to physically present it yourself. Snagit allows you to select your screen, hit the record button, and go

Edit Screenshots:



The Snagit Editor is where you markup and edit images with arrows, text, callouts, and effects. At the top is the toolbar, which can be customized to display your preferred tools. The canvas displays the image or video currently selected. The recent captures tray, at the bottom, contains your most recent screenshots.

Panoramic capture explained

Panoramic capture is similar to scrolling capture, but instead of capturing an entire web page or scrolling window, you control exactly how much to capture. And, just like automatic scrolling capture, you can scroll any direction.
