Want to see a Mac version of Captivate? Let Adobe know.

Qarbon is about to release their ViewletBuilder product for Mac back into production again. We heard the demand from the community and have answered. We are currently in beta of version 4.5.11 and will have it available very soon. You can access our download list at http://www.qarbon.com/download

Murphy Mac has some really cool screencasts. How do they make those?

"Everyone always says SnapzPro is a joke, but they never explain why."

If you've used SnagIt or Camtasia, you should know why. Snapz Pro does Plain Jane static and motion captures just fine. But it doesn't do markup (arrows, highlighting, text boxes, shapes, etc.), edge effects, zooms, pans, image effects, etc. Snapz Pro has languished for years with no real functionality evolution, and that's too bad.

For a platform where imaging and design apps are usually a big step above, the sorry state of screen capture utilities on the Mac is puzzling and disappointing.

Screw Captivate, I want Audition on OS X! But what I *really* want to see is the ability to round-trip spectral audio readouts from Audition (as high-res as possible of course) to Photoshop and edit them with first- and third-party plugins, such as Flaming Pear's stuff. Now THAT would be a killer app for sound design.

Snapz Pro X suits me fine. It has all I need, so I really have no desire to switch.

Everyone always says SnapzPro is a joke, but they never explain why. It does videos and photos better than Camtasia and SnagIt, in my opinion. After using all three, I'd have no interest in switching.

I would, however, be interested in Camtasia and SnagIt changing their products so the default video format it records in isn't Windows-only.

I have contacted Adobe with my suggestions, as it would be a dream come true to see this available on the Mac platform.

Thanks for adding the link. More importantly, thanks for including information on Camtasia. I am using Captivate 2 with Boot Camp. Adobe needs to port this over, but they have lost so much of their luster they are turning into a mini-MS.

SnagIt on Windows rocks. It's one of the few Windows-only apps I envy. I'd love to see a Mac version.

Ditto Camtasia and/or Captivate.

The screen capture niche on the Mac side is woefully inadequate. SnapzPro is a joke (sorry, but it is), and while Skitch looks promising, it still doesn't compare to SnagIt.

I'll send the suggestion to Adobe, cuz I sure don't need a Windows version of anything.
