Previously, you needed a separate video editor if you wanted to trim a video now you can do that from within the app. New to Snagit 3 is a simple video editing feature, something that Skitch (free), a rival screen-capture app, lacks. This lets you immediately remove all the edits that you've made to a capture with one click-no need to keep pressing the back icon until you've returned to the file's original state. Snagit 3 also has an incredibly useful feature that its Windows counterpart does not: Revert to Save. As you capture a portion of the screen, a small window opens near the cursor that gives you a pixel-level view for heightened accuracy. Snagit 3, on the other hand, has a far superior feature-magnification.

I would like to see Snagit adopt a Smart Collections-like feature as it declutters the editor by slotting images and video into categories such as Screen Snaps, YouTube Exports, and many more. The editor has built-in functions for uploading images and videos to Facebook, Google Drive, Twitter, and other destinations, but it lacks the incredibly handy Smart Collections feature found in competing screen-cap app Viola ($29.99). You can also initiate a capture by pressing a user-defined hotkey. There are options that let you dig deeper by capturing menus, windows, and webcam images. Move the cursor over the tab and a small dialog slides in, showing a red button that you can click to start a screen capture. Snagit 3's capture options dialog is accessed by a miniature tab that takes a sliver of space at the right edge of the screen. The utility is a bit pricey, but it's a worthy Editors' Choice award-winning screen-capture tool for Mac users. Snagit 3 (available on PC as Snagit 12) does all that and more. You'll want to blur sensitive information, add call-out arrows, make timed captures, or even capture video of your screen. Well, if you're a journalist, blogger, meme creator, or 4chan poster, you probably need a lot more functionality than simple capping and cropping.
