 Hi, this is Russell Turner from teachertrainingvideos.com. I'm a recommended trainer of Snagit from the TechSmith organization. I'm gonna just show you some of the advanced features in Snagit that I often see people not using. In other words, they bought Snagit but they don't realize that they can do these things. So let's have a quick look at some of the advanced features in Snagit 2019. So the first thing I'm gonna show you is that Snagit has the ability to grab an image from anywhere and then convert the text in that image into editable text. So this is often a big problem if you perhaps go to a website and you want to grab that text but it's actually an image. All you need to do is go to Snagit. In this case, you're gonna click on grab text. We're doing image capture. I'm just gonna grab here my menu system at the top of my website. And what that's gonna do is that's, at the moment that's an image but if we click on that and wait a few seconds, it's gonna grab that text and convert it into editable text. Now it won't do a perfect job of it. I will need to come through but you can see now that that text has been out and I could just copy that and share it somewhere. So this is gonna be really useful if you're on a website or somewhere and you've got an image and there's some text in it and you actually wanna take that text out and make use of it. So it's a really, really easy way to do it using Snagit. Now another image capture trick that you can do and if we look at this webpage here you'll notice that it's one of the pages off my website. It scrolls and so often it's quite difficult to image capture a scrolling page. Now if we go to Snagit and we choose again image capture and this time we're gonna go to scrolling window and we click on capture and again just mark the area to make it dead clear. You'll notice if we just click here that we get these kind of buttons there at the bottom and you see that it's automatically now scrolling right through that page and I didn't touch anything that was all done by Snagit and now you can see suddenly it actually scrolled the whole page and image captured it. Again, it can be really useful if you've got a document where it's bigger than the size of the webpage or it's a website and you wanna give the image of the whole page then you can do that by just choosing image capture and scrolling page. Now the next example I'm gonna show you is both a technique and a trick. We're jumping over now to video capture rather than image capture and what we're gonna do is we're gonna turn on the webcam. So we're gonna click here and make sure that the webcam is actually on. So we've got both a webcam and a screen capture option and I'm just gonna show you how you can combine the two together. Now what I've got here on the screen is a map of France and if I clicked here you'll see it then moves on to Spain and then it moves on to Italy. So basically I've got three images in a viewer, you know, image viewer and I've got ready with those. I'm now gonna open up Camtasia and I'm gonna mark out the area that I want to capture. So I'm gonna just mark it around here because I know that one of the maps is a bit bigger. And first of all you'll notice that I come onto the screen because what I'm gonna do in this image capture is sorry in this video captures I'm gonna start with an introduction from me and then follow that through with jumping to the screen capture. Apologies if the camera isn't too focused. That's to do with the lighting and the other things that going on. But basically I could do the following. I could click on the button here, count myself in. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Today I'm gonna show you three maps of Europe and talk about the biggest cities in those three countries. Click on the stop button or the pause button and I'm gonna click here now and jump over to screen capture and now I'm gonna start the screen capture. So click, here we've got France, the capital of France is Paris, other big cities are Lyon and Marseille. If we then move on to the next country, Spain. The Madrid is a very big city in the center of Spain with about four million people. That's the capital. Another big city is Barcelona and also Valencia and Sevilla. Gonna move on to the next country. And finally, Italy. Italy has many big ish cities but the significant cities would be Milan and Rome. Stop the video. The video's made. Now, first of all, the video starts with an introduction webcam. So in other words, it starts with me introducing and then jumping on to the actual product. So all right, so first we get that and then we jump on now. That technique that I've used means that we've got both the first image talking about it and then if we moved along to the next one, it would then talk about Spain and then then finally. So that's a good technique of actually using the image viewer to jump from one image to the other. So you don't ever just simply can image capture one image but also combining the use of webcam both at the beginning and you can even have it at the end. Often it's nice to introduce a video with a quick hello. Just gonna talk about this and then begin and you can certainly do that with Snagit. Now, what we've done here is we've actually done an image capture and this time what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna show you that you can actually combine images when you capture images. When you capture an image, you'll find that it's here in the tray at the bottom of the screen. And what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna click on this one here. In fact, let's use this one here and I'm gonna now drag this image into the other image. So I'm now combining two image captures together and then what I can do is obviously move it into the right position, resize it and putting it onto the screen. So a lot of people don't realize that you can actually work with more than one image when you're doing image capture. So if I wanted to repeat that and bring in something else that I've captured onto the screen, then again, I could just pull it up and drag it on. So you are able to combine images that you've image captured and they're in your editing window and then you can bring them in and combine them together. So a really nice way of building a picture by combining different images. One thing that often happens to me is that let's say I'm working on a website or I'm building some educational material, I need to always image capture at a certain size because I want all the pictures to be the same size. And I can actually do that really easily because I can come onto the image capture tool here, click on image, click on presets and we're going to just click on the plus button here. We're going to add a new preset and we're going to call that, we're going to choose to have a preset as an image and we're going to have it as a region and we're going to have the size to be fixed to 720 or let's say 1280 by 720. So I'm basically setting up everything so that every time I want to use it we'll always do exactly what I'm setting up here. I'm going to click off there and also I'm going to say, well, I also always want there to be a border and then, well, how thick do I want the border to be, what color do I want it to be, right? Well, I'm going to choose the color to have a black border and I'm going to make it, let's just say three. Okay, again, clicking off there. Now I'm going to save that preset and I'm going to call that image to border and that's all done now. Okay, so I've now got an image to border. Now, why is that beneficial? Well, let me just try and give you an example. If I was to now go on to Snagit and let's just close that down for a minute. So we, okay, I would then open up my presets. I would choose image to border but I would click on this button here and it doesn't matter where I click on the screen as soon as I click now you can see that it's perfectly going to take a screen capture of 1280 wide 72 down and it's also going to immediately add a border. So I'm just going to click in it comes, notice the borders automatically there, notice is exactly the same size. Now, if I was to go back and imagine let's go on to another page and I've decided, oh yeah, I want to image capture this page exactly the same size. Again, I would just come back, go to my presets, choose that one I wanted, click on it and immediately opens up and it's ready and it's saying, well, where do you want to do it? It's going to do everything I've asked it to do. So I'm going to say, right, I want you to do it here, click once and then again, exactly the right size with the border. Presets are really useful. They can save you a lot of time. Okay, I hope that video was useful showing you how to work with Snagit.
