FastStone Capture – screen capture tool and screen video recorder for HWU staff

toolbarFastStone Capture is a powerful, lightweight, full-featured screen capture tool and screen video recorder.

It’s a bit like the Snipping Tool and Jing combined – but it offers a lot more than either, in one easy to use interface.

Useful for capturing and annotating screen shots for handouts/publications and for quick videos.

    FastStone is a handy screen capture tool, but it can only capture the first screen instead of the full page. If you want to capture the full web-page including the scoll-down part, I’d recommend acethinker screen grabber, free and works pretty well for me.
