SnagIt Live for 24 Hours Today! Watch Here! Have Fun!

| May 25, 2010

Today the great people at TechSmith are at it again. They are staying up for another 24 Hours to do a Live Stream about SnagIt. If you would like to chat with them or other users about this product just click on the chat button under the video and you will be taken to a LiveStream in a new Window.

Well, this event has ended. If you missed out on it you can still view what went on by clicking here.

Every once in awhile you might see it say Offline. Do not worry, they are restarting their stream to get better connections. This stream is only for today May 25th, 2010. After that I will try to embed some videos for the new features they share with us. Thanks for viewing.

I hope Ya’All enjoy this and learn a lot.

Adding Video Using the ThickBox Plugin

| May 23, 2010

Click to Watch this Poderosa Ranch VideoThis video will show you how to use the ThickBox plugin to open a video.  ThickBoxes are used to create an attractive look that is an alternative to the standard plugins that play videos with in your post.  Why not use them?  Well I have found most are very limited to the size they will show your video.  By having the video open in a ThickBox you are not limited to the size constraints.  This is most important when you are creating videos that need to show fine detail such as these training videos.

For this tutorial you will need to have installed the ThickBox plugin By Christian Schenk.  You will also need a video produced using Camtasia Studio with the embedded HTML file.

At the end of your video link you will add the following code:

Click To Watch Video

?KeepThis=true&TB_iframe=true&height=550&width=650

You can change the height and width to fit your needs by changing it in the code above.  The height and width is measured in pixels which 100 pixels = 1 inch.
