If you've ever purchased a car, then you're familiar with that 'new car smell'. Sometimes I wish software software came with that smell! Maybe someone needs to invent 'smell-o-vision' for computers. :-)
And, speaking of 'new' - I'm happy to announce that we have a new version of Jing available today. Meet Jing Pro! While Jing Pro doesn't come with that funny new car smell, it does come with something better - lots of great new features!
So, what's new with Jing Pro?
- YouTube support. You can upload a video to YouTube directly from Jing. Jing also gives you the link to your video.
- For screencasts, in addition to the SWF file format, Jing Pro now offers a H.264/MPEG-4 AVC format video option. Without getting too technical, this format excels at capturing video with a lot of motion, is much more suited for editing, and is supported on YouTube. And, for those of you who have been wanting to tweak your Jing videos, you can now import them into Camtasia Studio 6 or iMovie to edit, merge or anything you want.
- Branding removal. At the end of a Jing Pro-produced video, there is no Jing logo and branding.
You can upgrade to Jing Pro for $14.95 a year. And, we're not forcing you to upgrade to Jing Pro. The free version of Jing is still available complete with complimentary hosting on Screencast.com (2 GB of storage and 2 GB of transfer bandwidth per month). And, we also have free tech support for both Jing and Jing Pro. There is a great Help Center for Jing that is full of tips and tricks.
Jing Pro was built based on customer feedback. So, we need to hear from you! What do you think?

This is HUGE news!
$14.95 per year is an amazing price to offer such functionality.
Idea: Add the ability to upload Jingcasts directly to TeacherTube since YouTube is blocked at most schools.
Way to go (again) TechSmith and great post Betsy!

Does Jing Pro allow you to record more time? Jing was recommended to me because there is no Camtasia for Macs ...and all we use are macs, but Jing only records 5 minutes which is too short for lecture (even mini ones!)..so I'm looking for something with longer record times...

Jing Pro for the Mac is the bomb. We use Jing Pro consistently throughout the day and are all moving to Mac. I just tested Jing Pro on my Mac and it works like a charm. Great job Tech Smith. Thanks
