I found that Skitch can be easily used to spice up screencasts to great effect. It allowed me to quickly take a screenshot, and then seamlessly line up the photo over the web browser so that I could record the animated effects of circling, pointing to and highlighting various aspects on the webpage. I could also zoom into certain parts, and edit out the cruft to create slick animated effects. So you’ve saved me hours of animation and keyframe headaches with Skitch!

It’s so great when you create a tool and it gets used to create terrific work – even uses you didn’t even think of. This was also the case for Comic Life and I imagine, any software.

Looks like we, plasq and the creator of Spotlaser have independently struck onto something similar.

This is mostly cosmetic – In the case of Skitch, you can ‘drag a file off’ with drag me. On Spotlaser, it is a button to start the search.

PLUS! they both start with ‘S’ and we are both from Australia. ohhh spooky.
