I'm a huge fan of DIY projects so this is one of my favorite uses of SnagIt. Last year, Max Rottersman e-mailed us to tell us about how he uses SnagIt in a way we've never seen before. He uses SnagIt to create teleprompter scripts for video blogging!

Max lost a bid on eBay for a $1,600 teleprompter (they cost that much?!) and wondered if he could make one himself.

So, with just a clear CD-ROM case cover, 6 CD-ROM cases, scotch tape, plus SnagIt, he made a teleprompter! By setting up the CD cases to serve as a mirror for the screen, Max was able to look directly at the webcam and read the script through the mirror-like plastic.

This will help everyone move one step closer to professional video blogging results.
