It was a little counterintuitive then, but it's just plain outclassed now. I've had Snapz in my arsenal for a long time, and I don't like it any more today than the first day I used it. Sort of, transitions and external audio tracks The demo was limited to 30 seconds of record time, which was long enough for me to experience painfully slow encodes with choppy results overall. I don't own this one, so I worked with the demo. There's no linear editing within the application. It comes the closest to allowing editing out of the apps we've looked at so far, but really only allows configurable transitions between segments (where you hit "Pause").

Screen Mimic can output to SWF, FLV, QuickTime and its own proprietary archive format. Screen Mimic follows Screenflick's modus operandi and steps it up a little, recording everything up front and sorting it out later, including mouse clicks, keystrokes, et cetera. Yes, colors for left/right mouse, configurable shortcut display w/exceptions list And, to top it all off, Screenflick has great keyboard and mouse callouts, making it a very smooth operator at the $29 price level. Screenflick also provides a library of your recordings in their original format, so you can go back and output with different dimensions and compression settings later. Of course, you pay at the other end with long encode times, but that's when you go off and celebrate your Oscar-winning performance (what, you didn't know about the new category?).

I especially like that Screenflick records uncompressed and at full resolution, allowing for multiple output formats from one source file and reducing overhead during the actual recording. It offers the option to display the recording length and consequent file size in the menubar. It gets non-conformist in creative and endearing ways, such as the film-style countdown before a delayed recording. Screenflick has a beautiful interface, at least by my aforementioned conformist standards. There's no up-res for an H.264 320x240 video. Because it encodes as you're recording, you have to determine your final output format before you start, and if you should happen to change your mind. iShowU allows for a flexible recording area, multiple audio inputs and mouse click visualization. On-the-fly encoding causes a little more overhead and fans kick up pretty quickly, but recording quality is excellent and the presets are very inclusive. IShowU is updated regularly, but its feature set has been pretty stagnant in the broad scheme of things. Overall, excellent quality and low overhead with great full screen recording and full options for selection, single window and mouse area recording. There's a "HotText" function that lets you assign popup text to a hotkey, but it's a little limited and it doesn't show the text you've triggered until the recording is played back. The options are full-fledged and include picture-in-picture iSight recording and mouse click visualization. Screenium does a good job of capturing full screen video for relatively long periods without using up a ton of system overhead. I haven't quite figured out what's taken this app so long to get out of beta (or "preview," as Synium calls it). And it does a pretty slick job of keeping track of your movies and screenshots with a built in library.

It is, however, absolutely perfect for tech support and showing Aunt Marcy how to mount that DMG.
The player is branded at the end, so there's no lying about whether you used Jing, and it's limited to relatively short movies.

Jing records to Flash SWF files and can upload to various services, providing code for embedding uploaded video. What Jing does have going for it is smooth recording and fast encodes, and great sharing options. It doesn't get rid of the giant fireball of a main window, but it gets the fluorescent sunburst off of your desktop. Lucky for me, you can swap out part of the gaudy interface for a menubar-only version. In my old age I've come to appreciate a certain amount of conformity in application interfaces, so I personally find the "Sun" theme to be obtrusive and annoying. It also does it with an unconventional interface, which some may enjoy. Jing is a 'casting app that serves a rather limited purpose, but it does it well and it does it for free. At least the screenshots it can take don't jitter. Unfortunately, I also find it practically useless even for short recordings.
It has minimal settings to play with and way too much overhead to handle long recordings. No matter how I tried, I couldn't get what I consider to be a decent video capture out of this thing.
I was tempted to leave Copernicus out of the running, but it's good ground on which to build.
