One of my struggles in moving from a PC to a Mac is that there are very few suitable screen capture programs that can be used in the native Mac environment. I bought Camtasia Studio back in the day, and it works fine on Windows in Mac, but only within the Windows environment. So, if I want to film a video to show Mac users who don’t have/like Windows how to do something in a Mac OS X environment, I’m stuck with clunky tools, or SOL.
Sure, there’s Screen-o-matic.com, but they only publish in online public SWF and for download MOV, which I then have to convert to AVI. The sound also tends to suck, which may not be their fault, as I often have to apply post filming audio filters.
And I could use Screenography, too. But besides being a memory hog, and occasionally having unreasonable file sizes, it’s just not as smooth an interface as Camtasia.
Then there are the times when I’m on a PC, or a Windows computer, and I want to do one quick video screenshot, one quick time, or brag about how great I am via a screenshot, one quick time, and it doesn’t warrant the full version of Camtasia Studio. I want to be able to save the file to my computer for editing or safe keeping, and be able to share it quickly.
So what do I do?
Until recently, banged my head against the wall, which only made my headache worse. 
Now, I use Jing, the software from the Jing project, which is compatible with Windows and Mac, and also gives you free hosting space for the duration of the Jing project, which is currently open-ended.
I wrote a review of Jing, which I later updated.
