What do you use to capture video or stills on your computer? Two of my sponsors, TechSmith and ShinyWhiteBox both have excellent programs available. But TechSmith has now decided to offer slightly older versions of their screen capture software completely for FREE!

TechSmith’s Camtasia is used to make everything from training videos to PowerPoint presentations to lectures look better, reach more people, and pack more punch. Camtasia Studio screen recorder is smart, and does the hard work for you. Never created a video before? No worries, Camtasia Studio will help you look like a pro. The current version of Catasia is 5.0. It retails for $299.00 USD. However, you can now download version 3.12 absolutely free! Once you have downloaded and are installing the program, you will be asked for a product activation key. You can get that free, as well, simply by clicking this link.

The SnagIt program from TechSmith is different. SnagIt allows you to capture anything on your screen – from an area to a scrolling web page, edit your screen capture using the built-in image editor, and Share, save, and print your screen capture in the format of your choice. Create and share high-quality screen captures for your presentations, documents and blogs. The current version of SnagIt is 8.2 and costs around $40.00 for a single-user copy. However, you can download version 7.2.5 absolutely free! Again, once you’ve downloaded and are installing, you will need the key, which you can download by clicking this link.

So there you have it. More software companies should release older versions of their software for free, like TechSmith is doing. I don’t know how long this offer will last, though, so hurry and get yours today!

VMware and Parallels for Virtual Machines

chris@lockergnome.com (Chris Pirillo) — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 06:30:00 GMT

It doesn't matter if you're running on Windows or Mac OS X - every power user needs either Parallels or VMware (or both). There's never been an easier way to test software without destroying your primary operating system's stability. Think of how many times you wish you could press a 'reverse' button on your computer. Plus, there's no easier way to try new Linux distributions - see what all the fuss is about. Run Windows in OS X, run Linux in Windows, but the best way to do either is with VMware and/or Parallels.
