jing like software?


Question

i was wondering if there is a jing like app that allows for screen capture with editing and maybe small movie creation like jing does to.. the part i dont like about jing is i cant upload to my own ftp server.. anyways ive gone through the freeware alternative list and there are so many(im testing them out right now) but none seem to have the video capture part of it.. so if any of you guys have a favorite app that does this kind of thing i would love to hear about it..

There's Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 whose latest SP1 version has unlimited screen capture and you can encode it to WMV free by trimming/editing or just share the capture in original format (viewers just need to install a Screen Capture codec). For encoding, it's a bit bloated and slow but great capture app.

so you want screen capture with built in send to ftp, faststone capture does this.

So you can take a screenshot, and then add notes, highlights, arrows, etc. etc.. And then send to ftp server you have setup.

it also does screen grabs (movies) but I don't think it has an autosend to ftp for that feature. But you could always just setup a folder you save to be sent to ftp.

Another option which might be better if your meaning to share these images with people would be just save your screengrabs/videos to dropbox.

thats close to what i need, but not quite there.. ive sent them an email asking for a howto or feature requests to be made..

"-ability to have the screen recording areas as hot keys

-ability to have to screen recordings uploaded to FTP

-ability to set the magnification of screen to equal to the area captured and not magnified at, especially the video capture..

-you have the ability to not be warned of a save after you are done editing your picture, but could we get the option to either upload to a specified default service(say ftp) after done editing, and also exit with no save prompt?"

Another option which might be better if your meaning to share these images with people would be just save your screengrabs/videos to dropbox.

ya i am sharing these with people, but i would prefer to have them on my own server.

But you could always just setup a folder you save to be sent to ftp.

how is this done?

Many ftp clients have the feature, or it could be a simple batch job you run on a schedule that uploads new files in a folder to your ftp. Or if you server has webdav you could use that as a folder to send your files to the server that users access via ftp.

You could setup rsync or unison to sync the files to your ftp server, etc. etc.

There is an FTP publishing plugin for Encoder but that would require re-encoding the screen capture. Also, it doesn't look like it works with newer Encoder versions. I haven't tested it myself.

    • Was it too much to ask to show the icon in this article?
    • Frankly, I blame whoever is writing such articles. "A big improvement/update and/or new feature is now available to everyone! Also, use this unofficial tweak tool to enable it because it actually isn't available to you yet officially and might not in fact even be entirely ready or whatever, hence why it is perhaps not enabled for you*. But it's great and you should enable it!" I mean there's nothing wrong with sharing info about some feature you might need to enable via unofficial means, of course. It's just that these articles tend to essentially end up being two news pieces in one, and one of them tends to be a bit misleading. (*Yes, yes, the "it's a controlled rollout!" thing. Not a fan of that one either. The argument, not the actual rollout.)
    • Thank you. Will do. I read in the release notes that editor config might be at play here.
    • Actually, I think even Microsoft doesn't know how to control it
    • OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI's Codex now has more than 5 million users, up nearly 4x from earlier this year. To further accelerate Codex's growth among developers, OpenAI today announced that it has agreed to acquire Ona, a company that builds secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. Ona will enable developers to run Codex with persistent and controlled cloud infrastructure for long-running agentic workflows. Right now, most Codex execution happens locally on developers' laptops and PCs, and the agents work continuously for hours. Through Ona, OpenAI aims to make Codex agents keep working for days without being tied to a user’s local machine or an active session. This will be an important capability for enterprises that want to deploy AI agents in production while maintaining control over infrastructure, data, security boundaries, credential scope, logging, and review workflows. Like any acquisition, the deal is still subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Until the deal closes, OpenAI and Ona will continue to operate as separate companies. After closing, Ona’s team will join the Codex team to improve developer workflows. Alongside the Ona acquisition announcement, OpenAI today introduced a few Codex updates. Developers can now save Codex rate limit resets and use them later instead of losing them when they are not needed immediately. OpenAI is also adding a referral option where users can invite a friend to Codex and get a saved rate limit reset. OpenAI today also announced a developer mode for browser use in Chrome and the Codex in-app browser. With this mode, Codex can use the Chrome DevTools Protocol to debug web apps, inspect pages, and work more directly with browser-based development workflows. Developers can use this when they want Codex to profile JavaScript, inspect console output and network traffic, examine web page states including the DOM and applied styles, and more.
