You can also take a photo and send it to SnagIt/Camtasia straight away.īut… while it worked seamlessly straight away from my phone and tablet and is a brilliant concept, I noticed a couple of things that could be improved for the next version: Just brilliant - no more Bluetooth pairing, no more USB connection cables etc. The photo is sent straight to SnagIt Editor on that computer. Tap a picture to send it, then choose whether to send it to SnagIt or Camtasia, then the name of your computer app (I’m not sure why you need this last step, but I guess if you have SnagIt or TechSmith Fuse on multiple computers/devices, you need to tell it which device to send to).

Next, open the TechSmith Fuse app on your device, and your gallery of pictures loads up and displays. Once you’ve downloaded the app onto your device, you open SnagIt on your computer, select File > Connect Mobile Device, then use your mobile device to scan the QR code shown on your computer screen. Obviously, you’ll need one of those pieces of software on your computer. It’s a quick and easy way to get your photos from your device directly into SnagIt Editor or Camtasia on your PC or Mac. TechSmith, the makers of the excellent SnagIt, have just released an update (v11.4 for Windows), and in the promotional video they talked about their new free app - TechSmith Fuse - available for both Android and Apple devices (I tested it on my Android phone and Android tablet).
