Albeit, you can download separate tools for capturing screenshots and screencasts, having both options in one package has its own good reasons. One such tool from the latter is Screen Capturer.
This compact freeware application for Windows is a compendium of both screenshot and screencast capabilities. Screens can be captured in four different modes, including Full Screen, Current Window, Window and Region, and can be chosen to sent to clipboard or printer (in case of screenshot), or save as image/video file or as an email attachment. It doesn’t have a plethora of features or lets you tinker complicated settings, but the application is fairly easy to use. It also supports hotkeys to easily perform your desired operation.
While the application is available absolutely for free, you’d need to obtain its license first, which can be availed without spending a penny.
Screen Capturer’s interface consists of a mini console window, where you need to specify three parameters to capture the screens. Under Capture Mode, you can select between Screenshot and Animation, while Capture Source houses four different types that I mentioned earlier. Capture Destination lets you specify where to send the output file. Although there is nothing special about the available types of sources, as these modes are also available in Windows Snipping Tool, Region is still quite handy and unique.
After playing with its various different options for quite a while, I have found Screen Capturer to be quite impressive. It’s a neat tool to quickly capture screenshots and screencasts, without spending your dough on other paid software solutions. The application works on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8.
