Jing: Screen-Recording for Cheap Faggots

Missed opportunities such as the Lush-Kitching brawl have made StickyDrama acutely aware of the need for our readers to be equipped with screen-recording softwares of their own.

“Screen-caps,” “screen-shots,” or “print-screens” only capture still images, and can be done using built-in utilities on both Mac and PC. “Screen-recording,” by which we mean recording video of one’s desktop, requires 3rd-party software. SnapzProX ($70) is the best screen-recording software available for Macs; PC users have several options, such as the basic Super Screen Recorder ($50) or the super-deluxe Camtasia ($300).

But knowing our readers, y’all want free shit.

Jing is a new product in free Beta trial by the makers of Camtasia. The application allows users to record up to 5 minutes of high-quality video with audio. Whereas other screen-recording softwares create a file that must be transfered and downloaded by others to see, once users have uploaded a Jing recording to Screencast.com (made specifically for Jing) they can easily embed the video into websites or share it with others via a direct URL. Users do have the option of saving the video in SWF format, to have a permanent copy in case Screencast.com decides to remove some “objectionable content.”

Once launched Jing discretely remains in the corner of the desktop, and can be activated within seconds to record the spontaneous catfights, genitalia, and drug use so prevalent on Stickam. When it comes to drama, nothing is more compelling and convincing than video recordings—so we hope all you cheap dramawhores will try out this useful new product.
