All Capture functions no longer working
I am trying to troubleshoot my coworker's Snagit that just randomly stopped functioning. Yesterday she was using the app frequently all morning without issue and she walked away for 15 minutes and came back and it no longer worked. Clicking the capture button does nothing, except it will show the timer if that setting is enabled. This is the same for both images and video capture and I have tried all selection modes.
She is using Snagit 2022 and has only had it for about 2-3 weeks now.
Snagit says it is up to date, 2022.1.1. We tried restarting the Macbook. I tried updating the Macbook to the latest version of Monterey 12.4. I have reinstalled it twice, including using AppCleaner to uninstall everything. I have disabled and re enabled the accessibility and screen recording settings for both Snagit and Snagit helper multiple times.

UPDATE: this has been fixed in 2022.1.2

For anyone running into this, here is what you can do to get around this while we work on a fix:
1. Quit Snagit and SnagitHelper
2. Open the Terminal app
3. paste this command and press enter:
defaults delete ~/Library/Group\ Containers/7TQL462TU8.com.techsmith.snagit/Snagit\ 2022/Preferences/7TQL462TU8.com.techsmith.snagit.plist trialExpirationDate
4. restart Snagit and things should be ok again

Same here. The capture button at the top of the screen does not do anything but opening the editor. And when I click the capture button in the editor, it goes back to the capture button at the top of the screen, etc. etc. It worked on my old MacBook Pro. Since yesterday I have an M1 Max MacBook Pro. Installed Snagit 2022 twice on the latest Monterey version. Security settings do allow screen pictures as well.

Hi,
Sorry about this! These are the first reports we've heard of, Jan are you also on 2022.1.1? Did the problem start after that update? Are you running trial versions of Snagit, or do you have keys entered?

I'm having the same issue. Started with Snagit 2019. Bought 2021, which worked for a couple weeks, now it no longer works. When I try and capture, the snagit window get's minimized and nothing captures/happens.

I'm having the same issue. It worked great and I last used it last Tuesday. Now, when I click the widget budget, nothing happens. It responds to the click but doesn't do anything.

Yes, I am on version 2022.1.1. The problem did not start after the update, but after changing from my 2018 laptop to my new M1 Max MacBook Pro. Also, I do have a paid version.

i am having the same issue on MAcBook Pro. I had a trial version which worked perfectly. Today, I entered my license and since then Capture simply does not work. It shows the timer and then nothing.
This is the version I have: Version 2022.1.1 (98108)0 -
The fix you provided worked. Thanks!

Luke Griffioen's post worked for me. My situation: Version 2022.1.1 (98108). Monterey 12.4 on M1Pro (Apple Silicone). It's not working - Snagit opens but it will not capture a screen. Thank you so much for your quick response, Luke!

Luke's fix worked for me too. Will I have to do this fix again in 30 days despite having a paid version?

Hi Grant,
Hopefully not. We're working on a fix and will have an update out once it's ready.

Grant LOL - I had the same question. Glad to see that the Techsmith folks are all over it. Thanks again, team Techsmith!

Ours was paid and not a trial version. Your command worked for us Luke, thank you! Luckily it's a quick workaround but hopefully we see a patch come through soon

I have the same issue and it's driving me nuts - I really need the tool right now!! I am using a licensed paid version, so the fix did not work for me.
Tried everything cited in the first post to no avail. No screenshots, no video capturing.
It is really annoying as I need the tool for work.

Hi Martin,
Did you copy and paste the command exactly? It's really sensitive to capitalization so it can fail if you type it manually. Also can you confirm that you're on 2022.1.1?

Hi folks,
We've pushed a 2022.1.2 update this morning with a fix for the capture issue.

I just had to troubleshoot the same issue on my intern's workstation. She would click the Capture button. Nothing would happen.
I pasted the code into place per the instructions above and restarted SnagIt. The capture process functioned normally.
But apparently the reports of fixing the capture issue are premature.
I'm glad that a fix was relatively easy to find though. We didn't lose too much from our work day.

Hi Scot,
That sounds like the issue from 2022.1.1, if you have them update to 2022.1.2 that will resolve the issue without having to run the special commands.

The fix worked . . . but this was odd that the "cross hairs" stopped functioning, and once that began to work, the "capture" would not go into the editor. I really like this utility, but this was not a pleasant experience. The previous version was simple and always worked!

Hi Indigobp,
Do you have preview in editor turned off by chance?
