Description from the creator

I created this video as an example on how screen capture software SnagIt works. It's an awesome tool, and in this video I share a tip to finding images that have transparent backgrounds. Jessica Powell showed this to a bunch of us last week. I recorded this a few days before the presentation and will share a link to this video during the session. In that way, Jessica showed this to me, and I am showing it to whomever to learn whenever they feel like it. And, since it's not in the session, that means that people that don't want to learn it won't be subjected to me teaching it. This is how powerful "flipping" is, and how good SnagIt software is.

You can get a free trial of SnagIt by going here: techsmith.com/download/snagit/

By the way, in the video I use images that I found the first image on several blogs that led me to make-your-own-invitations.com/invitation-clipar… It's a great logo for a white background.

The second image I found (the flame) I found on a European BBQ enthusiast blog, The Hungry Butchers thehungrybutcherbbq.blogspot.com/

Thanks to Jessica Powell of www.ITechJess.com for showing us this search tip for transparent images.

One more thing- I mention a couple of times that "I'm on a Mac." That's because I am not that familiar with PCs, so what I do is what I can I do on a Macbook (e.g. command key, two finger click, etc.) However, I understand that PC users enjoy more functionality with the Snag It & Camtasia.
