While capturing a video and reducing it to a GIF is also an option, sometimes, the fastest video from the users perspective is just a series of images running in a loop. You can also create an animated gif from a series of still images too. Bonus Snagit’s Images to GIF conversion options. These are also easier to edit and add text and bullets right in the image and more. Instead of bullet points and multiple images (and heavier web pages loading slower), they can be consolidated and flattened into a single image with a half dozen steps or more.
When you have a series of images in Snagit, you can now combine those images into a templated (organized layout) master image. Snagit Templates are not new, but they have gotten a lot better. It was tedious, and yet it was the ‘quickest’ way to generate training materials and insure someone did not get lost or misunderstand a step. In the old days, I’d capture a series of images and then load them into a bullet list and walk people through those one step at a time, one click = one image at a time.
I create a lot of training tutorials, both videos (use Camtasia for that) and images to be quickly added to emails or training documents. The improvements in creating an ‘image’ from a group of other images compiled together in a template is the main reason why I am upgrading. Why am I personally upgrading? Snagit is improving in leaps and bounds. (I updated to the latest Camtasia a month back). So today, I’m upgrading to Snagit 2021 today. I really needed to speed up my process of creating training images and videos.
