Screenshots can be scaled, cropped, color depth-changed, and dithereded. Snapz Pro X can also add borders, generate automatic thumbnails, overlay watermarks/copyright notices... you name it, we got it! Snapz Pro wasn't just ported to Mac OS X, it was rewritten from the ground up to use the exciting new technologies that Mac OS X has to offer. Support for these cool new features permeates Snapz Pro X like genetic superiority in a thoroughbred: long file names, automatic preview icons on image files, Unicode/international support, and bullet-proof operation are just a few of the pleasantries you will enjoy.

(After updating from 2.3.2, the application almost instantly resumed processing a screen recording I made 2 months ago, during which the last version apparently got stuck and since would crash on invoke every time - weird.)

This is with latest DockView 1.55 and Latest Snapz Pro X 2.3.2 on Mac OS 10.6.8 with all current updates.
I would suggest writing to our tech support department and letting them know this is happening.
Thanks!

There is nothing which matches its capability to record videos.
Never crashes, never any trouble. One of my key applications.

The drawback is that Snapz Pro X can, at its most demanding, really draw on system resources and VRam. But it does the job every time, and once you're aware of its requirements, you're grateful that it's so dependable.
With a keyboard shortcut, I capture webshots nearly every day, and performance is snappy; for video, processing depends on the size of the document. The interface hasn't changed that much over the years, because it's simple and easy to use. It still works fine under Lion.

I've used it for over 3 years, it is still compatible with my PPC G5, and I have not been charged an upgrade fee yet so the initial expense turned out to be a pretty good value. Thanks!

One thing to note is the Snapz Pro X is in the current StackSocial Mac Essentials Bundle ending June 15th. You can pick up Snapz along with Wiretap Studio and 9 other top mac apps for just $44 - 35% off Snapz regular price alone.
Full disclosure: I am affiliated with StackSocial, but regardless this a great opportunity to pick up some software that rarely, if ever, goes "on sale".

I've also had good experiences with SnapzPro & Screenflow. Long story short:
1/ I used Snapz Pro to capture things like screenshots and short workflows 'on the fly'... I submitted a LOT of bug reports with it. I also was able to 'cap' short scenes from DVD for fair use 'reports' and stuff like that. Snapz Pro is VERY good at capturing the 'uncapturable'.
2/ Screenflow is more useful for when I want to throw a tutorial together without having to open iMovie to, say, take footage from SnapzPro. Screenflow not only has an editor environment also has effects in their product that help with longer tutorials. But you may not be able to capture what Snapz can.
There's my mini review and take on SnapzPro as a longtime user, and with Screenflow as a user for a few months.

It's says this over and over again until I stop hovering over the window and the preview image is gone from my current space.
This also seems to interfere with DockView in other ways but I'm still investigating that.

You previously refused to send us any log files, including the ones you sent to Apple, or steps to replicate the issue. We tried to help you back in April but you wanted to peruse legal methods instead. If you would like to work with us to to get to the bottom of your issue, you can send any relevant information to Help@AmbrosiaSW.com. Thank you...

Quicksilver will break Snapz' attempt to set up a key binding. This can easily be remedied by setting up a binding in QS, just set an open action on Snapz Pro X.app.
It's a good trade-off if you happen to be filming "you suck at Photoshop", Jing doesn't have the performance for quality captures.
I'm not aware of any conflict with VLC. I use VLC all the time - both here at work and at home - with Snapz Pro X 2 running in the background at all times.
If I understand correctly, VLC crashes whenever it plays a movie - QuickTime, AVI, DVD doesn't matter- so long as it's not just ASCII art(?), VLC will crash with SP X running in the background.
I just played all three formats with no problems on any machine here.
When it does crash, what happens?
Have you contacted Tech Support here at Ambrosia? I'm not finding any similar reports and certainly don't recall any.
Please send a brief description of the issue and any crashlogs referencing VLC found inside Home/Library/Logs/CrashReporter to help@AmbrosiaSW.com. We'll see if it's something SP X is doing incorrectly.

The only workaround is to either deselect the keyframe option in the Video Settings of the Save Movie dialog, or select a different codec until this bug is addressed by Apple.
