Jing

Jing is a photo or video recorder for your desktop.
It allows you to take a picture of something on your computer or record a video of something you are doing on your computer (only 5mins though). It could be for small tutorials.

We have used Jing for all the pictures and videos on this wiki!!

You can download it at @http://www.techsmith.com/jing/ It is free to download!

Once downloaded you will have a little sun on the edge of your screen, you can move to get out of the way by clicking on it and dragging it.

To use:
Hold your cursor over the sun and it will give you 3 new circles to choose from choose the plus sign one! The disks are for history and the gears are for more settings.

Once selected it will allow you to create a square/rectangle - this will be the area that is captures or records.

This will bring up a box with a preview and buttons underneath. The Left hand button is to capture the image, the 2nd one is to capture a video, the 3rd is to re-capture the image and the last is to cancel.

**Images:**
After selecting the capture images button it will ask you to save the file somewhere (remember to save in a place you can find and as a obvious name!)

**Video:**
After selecting the capture video button it will count down for you to start recording. It will pick up the mic on your laptop so you can talk about what you are doing. When finished push the stop button. You can then preview it before you save it.
