Jack Cook's ZoomIt Screencast
Posted on Monday July 2, 2007 by Betsy Weber
Jack Cook, of Experience Mobility and the Mobility Site, e-mailed me about one of his latest Camtasia Studio screencasts. It's all about ZoomIt - a free utility than you can get here at Microsoft TechNet.
ZoomIt is perfect to use when you're presenting or when you're recording your Camtasia Studio videos. ZoomIt allows you to zoom in on an area of your screen using hotkeys. This is perfect to use when you want to focus your screencast viewer's attention on a particular area of your screen. ZoomIt also lets you annotate your screen - there's a nice 'Draw' and 'Type' feature. Keep in mind, you can use ScreenDraw in Camtasia Recorder or, you can zoom in and out in your video after you record it with Camtasia's own Zoom-n-Pan. Depending on how you like to make your screencasts, you may prefer ZoomIt. Plus you can use it when you're giving presentations.
Click the 'play' button on the video below to watch Jack's screencast. It's 3 minutes long.
You can read Jack's post about ZoomIt here.
Have you found any useful utilities to use with SnagIt, Camtasia Studio or Morae? Pass them on! I'd love to share them with everyone.

Cool application. I really wanted to use it to zoom into embedded quicktime videos. The problem is it pauses everything on the screen during zoom.
