Snapz Pro X 2.1.1 is available

When it comes to screen shots, you will all be saying Sayonara to IShowYou and Snapz Pro in favor of about to be released Skitch! None if the other applications offer the versatility of this incredible tool.

First of all, if you buy Snapz without the video capture option it is only $29. Second, for screenshots NOTHING beats Snapz. I'm not talking about your casual "I take a screenshot once in awhile" guys. For those of us that do screenshots everyday there is no equal out there. So for those who don't like the video features in Snapz, buy IShowU and if you need a professional screenshot utility then buy Snapz (with or without video)

iShowU is fine for video captures, but it's not for doing static screen caps...which is where Snapz Pro X shines. I use Snapz Pro X all the time for doing screen caps of web pages. It has an auto-scroll feature that captures long scrolling websites as a single image. It has functionality well beyond the built-in OS X screen capture. So, comparing it to iShowU is really comparing apples and oranges.

Delete Snapz Pro!
Put this in Terminal app:

#START
rm -rf ~/Library/Snapz Pro X/
rm -rf ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/Snapz Pro X.crash.log
rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/.DS_Store
rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/.GlobalPreferences.*.plist
rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.ambrosiasw.snapz.plist
rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/Snapz Pro X License
rm -rf /Library/Receipts/AmbrosiaAudioSupport.pkg
rm -rf /Library/Receipts/Snapz Pro X Application.pkg
rm -rf /Library/Receipts/Snapz Pro X * Installer.pkg
exit
#END

This is for uninstalling it properly :)

I also agree.. IshowU is far superior, lighter and a lot cheaper. Snapz is truly a rip off..

BTW, I know this is a stupid question, does anyone know how to uninstall snapz pro from the system?

Lucky that I have read your comments. My trial copy is near its end and I share with your comments about the time it takes to save, especially when multi-pass is selected. Having said that, I do find the resulting movies of quite good quality. But anyways, I will go to get a trial of iShowU. So far, besides the slow rendering, the price is the major deterrent for me to purchase the full product. Especially after I have only just recently purchased both the family pack of iLife'08 and iWorks'08.

I have to say, iShowU is a much better product than Snapz Pro, and it's kind of shameful that Snapz is making such minor improvments for a slow application & still chargins so much. For years Snapz was the best at what it did, but it was still not a very good product. Very slow at saving video, and many times the save would fail, leaving a useless .mv file.

iShowU is a much, much, much faster application, and though younger seems to be a much more mature, robust, finished application. In addition to the core functionality of screen capture that Snapz has, it has excellent support for multiple presets with different capture & conversion settings and when you're finished recording, you get your movie instantly (unlike Snapz where you sit around for 5 minutes waiting to see if your movie rendered correctly.)

Snapz does capture static pics (which iShowU does not) but I never found Snapz to be much more useful than the standard Apple screen capture key commands.

Anyway, I guess I'm just one more guy thumbing my nose at stodgy old Snapz. Ambrosia seriously needs to get back on their game with that application.

Speaking of "improved registration experience," NOBODY CARES ABOUT IMPROVED REGISTRATION EXPERIENCE. Seriously, you're past version TWO of your software, and you STILL have to add improvements to your freakin' "registration experience"?

$69!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's $10 shy of the whole iLife package........

What a rip-off.
