Step 3: To take regular pictures just click on the square that says Region.
Step 4: Then Click on the Red Button with the camara.
Step 5: The screen should freeze and hold down your mouse and choose the area that you want to take a picture of. After that it should go to another screen the says Snagit Capture Preview.
Step 6: To add other cool affects just go to Edge Effects on the right side of the screen.
Step 7: Go to file, Save AS and save the picture with whatever name. Then you upload it to your site.

Step 4: The screen should freeze again and give the shape and area that you wanna record.
Step 5: Then after that there will be a little screen that says start, cancel, etc.
Step 6: Click on Start and it will start recording. To pause or stop the video go down all the way to the bottom right corner of the screen with all the icons. There should be a little blinking camara.
Step 7: Click on the little blinking camara and it will pause the video with a screen popping up like before. Either click Resume or Stop.
Step 8: If you press resume then the video will still record, if you press stop then the video will stop and go to another one of those screens just like taking pictures.
Step 9: Save like mentioned in the Camara Directions. If you want to watch the video just go up to the play button and click that.
Step 10: Then upload it to youtube.
