Welcome Snagit for Mac Beta - Try It!
Posted on Tuesday December 15, 2009 by Betsy Weber
I've been a Mac user at home for a long time and recently made the switch at work when we released Camtasia for Mac. One of the things I missed on the Mac was Snagit. Sure, sure, there's the built in screencapture just as there's the printscreen button on the PC, but I need more options for blogging, reporting and other tasks. After using Snagit nearly every day for the past 10 years, I can't do my job or other tasks without it.
I'm happy to announce that the wait is over... TechSmith has a public beta for Snagit for Mac available to you right now. You can find more information about the Snagit for Mac the beta here.
We want to make sure we're developing products that work for you. Help us build a Snagit for Mac that you want. So, please provide feedback about features and functionality as well as report bugs here.
Keep in mind that this is a beta version of Snagit for Mac. It is not the final build of Snagit for Mac, but we are far enough along in our development cycle to share it with you. Since it is beta, every feature may not work perfectly. There will still be some time to incorporate some feature feedback from this public beta into the final release. And, your feature suggestions gathered during this public beta will influence future releases of the software. Your feedback is important at every stage.
We will not be offering individual technical support for the Snagit for Mac beta. However, we will be providing regular updates about new builds, common issues and problems beta users are facing on a regular basis here on the Visual Lounge Blog. And you can exchange ideas with other customers using the beta here. Snagit for Mac is available in English only right now, but it available to users worldwide.
Check out this brief overview screencast about Snagit for Mac.
Thanks for kicking the tires on the Snagit for Mac beta! We look forward to your feedback and working with you on this new release! Our products are better because of you!
What do you think?

Congrats on SnagIt for Mac. I love SnagIt for the PC, and the Mac version will definitely find a home on my new iMac as well. :)

Awesome news. I just recently went cross platform and have been checking out the trial of snagit on Windows (along with the latest Camtasia, which is looking better than ever). I see what you mean now - after a couple of days of using it, Snagit has become a really nice app to have to hand. Great to know that I can check it out Macside, too now. Cross-platform FTW.

I have been bugging TechSmith for some time about a MAC version of the best screen capture program out there. Was elated when I heard they were working on a MAC version. More elated now that it is available....

Can Snagit Mac capture video? If not, I'll keep using Jing for now.

Dear Bill,
I have been using SnagIt for Windows since its inception. I love your alphabet stamps. I publish and it is very useful to have this feature. When are you providing alphabet stamps for the Mac?
Thank you!
