Posted by cindyhuan on April 18th, 2013

Adobe Flash video file, mostly with a file name extension as .swf, is widely used in making web pages for beautifying the pages and facilitating loading time. SWF animations can easily be published and viewed on web. SWF files can contain animations or applets of varying degrees of interactivity and function. It may also be used for programs, commonly browser games, using ActionScript.

Jing is a screencasting computer program launched in 2007 as Jing Project by Corporation TechSmith. You can capture an image of what you see on your computer screen with Jing. Besides, you can also select any window or region that you would like to record, and Jing will capture everything that happens in that area. From simple mouse movements to a fully narrated tutorial, Jing records everything you see, and do. Jing videos are limited to five minutes for instant, focused communication. Jing gives you the basic tools to start sharing images and short videos of your computer screen.

JING is very adorable for most users, except the Mac users since it record videos and movements in .swf format. As is known to all, Apple did not, does not and still will not cooperate with Adobe, so there's no Adobe Flash Player and Adobe flash plugin on Mac, without which, Mac cannot run the SWF files at all. It is a great pity not making full use of JING. As many Mac users are asking how they can use the JING SWF videos on Mac – JING to iMovie, JING SWF to MOV on Mac, or JING SWF to QuickTime on Mac, etc. here, I'll provide you the easiest way to handle that: to use a third-party JING SWF Converter to get this task done.
