Email screenshots the easy way.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The easy way to email screen captures is to copy the image in CaptureWiz and paste it into your email. What's great is you can insert multiple images separated by descriptions. Even Gmail and Hotmail allow pasting images into email now. But some customers need to change a CaptureWiz setting to make it work. Here’s how: on the capture bar, click Settings / Options. On the Options window, click the Output tab. Then, in the Copy-to-clipboard section, try UN-checking Linked-file.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Send videos the easy way.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
First, convert the recording to WMV format. If the result is smaller than 10 MB, just attach it to an email. If larger, upload the video to YouTube and send the recipient a link. YouTube accepts WMV files and your video will be viewable by anyone on almost any device. To send videos privately, we suggest using WeTransfer, “a free service to send big files from A to B.” You upload the file to WeTransfer, and WeTrasfer sends your recipient a link to the file. Your recipient downloads the WMV file, then plays it in his media player.

Bigger isn’t better, when recording.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
In talking with Leslie in Pittsburgh, we discovered that when recording, some customers play videos full screen, thinking the magnification will improve resolution. In fact, it just slows everything down, reducing quality. It’s best to record at full size, 1x. No better resolution is possible. If desired, play back the recording full screen.

Free update will make your life easier with one-click saves.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Watch for a free update in early August that'll save screen captures with one click. Perhaps you think it’s easy enough already? Well, we found the standard Windows dialog is actually a complicated abomination for many. So difficult, in fact, that some people keep everything in the temporary folder instead and set the number-days-stored to forever.

This is a lousy solution because temporary files aren’t easily migrated to a new computer, and even worse, they collect so fast that finding anything becomes difficult. Our one-click solution will be unveiled next month!
