Drew Wilson’s Screeny gives you the freedom to capture your videos or images at any size. Screeny is free via Apple’s Mac App Store for today only!
With Screeny, you can click & drag to resize the capture area or input the exact pixel dimensions to set to the size of the capture area. All the while you will get instant feedback on the capture area’s current pixel dimensions.
Screen casting just got a billion times better with Screeny. Now you can capture a specific portion of your screen, rather than having to record your entire desktop. This can drastically reduce video file size and bring focus to a specific portion of your screen.
Note: Screeny works in OS X Lion (10.7) & Snow Leopard (10.6) only.
