A few weeks ago on the GGP, Dave and Tim did a review of a project called Jing which is a image and video screen capture and screencasting tool for both Mac and Windows.

A couple of days ago I was asked to create a tutorial at work for a new project we’re working on instead of having to continually do training sessions for my team.  I’ve given Jing a shot, and the early results are extremely encouraging!

I’ve been able to capture video segments (with audio!) of the training material, and will be able to produce it into a full length e-learning “howto” so that the team has something to work with when I go on holidays.

The tool produces .SWF files by default, but there are several video conversion apps out there which will manipulate your SWF’s into a more universally recognized format.

Check out the Jing project, and give it a try for yourself.
