For videos, you can export your clips as AVI, FLV, or MP4 files. Snagit exports to 19 different formats, Ashampoo Snap supports to eight, and even Windows Snip and Sketch lets you choose between PNG and JPG. One strange limitation for both free and paid users: Screencast-O-Matic only exports images as PNG files. Snagit users would need to download Camtasia, Techsmith’s $250 education-focused recording app, to leverage many of Screencast-O-Matic's cool, premium options. Premier users gain access to an entire stock library of assets. Subscribers can also combine recordings, use a green screen filter, or animate overlays.

Recording options are simple and straightforward. You can record your screen, your webcam, or both. The video recorder is similarly intuitive. You can crop and resize an image, blur and highlight its different sections, or add graphics and text. However, you do get plenty of editing options. You don’t get some of the fancier capturing options that come with Snagit, such as tracing shapes other than rectangles, timing and capturing scrolling windows, or grabbing text with OCR recognition.

Taking a screenshot is as simple as dragging the cursor over an area and letting go. You also get quick access to your recent screenshots and recordings.
