I just started using Jing again and for $14.95/year (chump change) you can save your jings as MP4’s instead of swf’s; seems reasonable to me.

Woah, I had no idea you could embed these things. I’ve been an avid user of Jing for about a year now, and find that I like it better than both Camsudio and Camtasia (I have all 3).

I always just upload my Jing recording to Youtube though, I didn’t know there was a way around that

Thanks for this!

@Bev:

Did you try contacting Jing’s Tech support for help?

It is possible to embed videos on your own website from Screencast, just copy the embed link that you see below your video when you view it on screencast and paste this in to your website’s HTML.

I believe that many of the extras you note are available in the Jing Pro upgrade (not free) Jing is an absolutely wonderful free tool…let’s not forget that it is FREE. I think to expect so many extras in the free version is not very realistic. Enjoy what Jing can do and if you require more, purchase the Pro version. It’s only 14.95 per year. That’s a deal if you ask me.

I agree that the single option file format is too limiting. I want to upload screen casts onto my website. I do not want a link that takes my students away from my site page. Unfortunately, I am unable to embed the Jing format, and am now looking for a solution, either via code or another app. Limiting users, I’m afraid, looses audience. Wasn’t it increased audience use that Jing wanted? Time to keep searching for a solution.

TaggedFrog (Windows) does everything you could want with metadata and its free. I have tons of metsdata sorted files because I do tech support for a living. A great way to find your files- goto LunarFrog.com

It is our hope that by leveraging socially based technologies the education industry can shape a new educational technology paradigm that realizes the promises of true “Social Learning”.

By understanding its applications we can create a unique opportunity to improve student engagement, student retention, academic success and overall educational outcomes.
