Hi guys, is there a tool like Snipping for Mac?

In addition to the link given above, there are some built-in screen capture options in Mac OS X - check How to take a screenshot on your Mac - I use CMD-Shift-4 for selective capturing on a daily basis, then Preview allows cropping & re-sizing along w/ other features.

Also, look in Applications -> Other for the Grab app - similar features w/ the extra 'timed' option which can be useful. Dave :)

Quicktime...which you already have, can easily record a screen video with audio. Whatever is playing or happening on your screen can be captured and filed away.

Just to add to Dave's great tip, you can also push Command-Shift-3 to get the whole screen or Command-Shift-4, then spacebar to get any window of your choosing.

Just to add to my previous post....App Folder>Quick Time Player>File>New Screen Recording and from there you should be able to follow the prompts that enable you to perform several different types of screen captures...still and moving. Both RadDave and vansmith have excellent, excellent suggestions for simple "snips". Whatever you do...have fun!
