I am in the same boat as Wayne. I can be specific: two features that I loved and used more than any other in SnagIt for PC were 1) Batch Processing and 2) Watermarking. Now I can't do either, and prepping pics for online in environments where they are likely to be shared, such as social media, is a chore.
Aug 3, 2018 - We will also take a closer look to evaluate the important features and technical specifications in both; Macs and PCs. After you've finished.
I used to set the size, drop on my company logo as a watermark, rename all the files to their product number, et cet - all in one shot. Now all that convenience is gone.

I would love to see these two features developed in the Mac version. Thanks for the opportunity to chime in!
As these posts were all 3 years ago, I don't know if anyone is watching but just in case. A big part of making my living is the use of Snagit. At the office I use Snagit Windows but I wanted to work from home more so being a Mac user, I bought Snagit Mac. A simple idea has turned into hand-to-hand combat with the Mac version of the application. I waste so much time tinkering with and working around it's limitations. As it causes me to be less productive I actually choose the two hour commute to work at the office whenever something time sensitive needs to get done. While I can appreciate the high fidelity of TechSmith's 3-year old intentions to leverage all the Mac functionality, I am less interested in Snagit being 'Mac-ish' and more interested that it delivers the promise.
It promised to be the same application we've grown to love in the windows version and even better because of the Mac-ish features. Well, it isn't either one. It doesn't have the look, layout or features of the Windows product nor is it Mac-ish because it doesn't 'just work' either. Ok I'll stop venting. Here is my specific wish list: Toolbar, in app tags with in-app folders by tag or date (as in Windows) so I can quickly go back to and reuse, when I set input to copy to clipboard the image should actually go to the clipboard without me having to copy again from the editor and I need to be able to upload the same stamp collections as I use in the windows version. The mac stamps are nice but to work in both places I need to have the option to have the same stuff in both applications.
I'm willing to learn a new layout as long as it's better and has what I need.
In the charts below, Schmucker breaks down feature-by-feature exactly what you get (and don’t get) in each of the different versions of the productivity suite including Office 2016 and 2013 for Windows, Office 2016 and 2011 for Mac,. The full charts (below) show suite-wide differences between the versions such as missing apps, lack of support for Visual Basic and ActiveX, right-to-left language support, accessibility features, AppleScript and much more. Other charts in the study show feature variations for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, with the majority of the features listed unavailable for iPad users and a mixed bag for the other versions. And Schmucker points out two things regarding the iPad specifically. One positive is support for right-to-left languages, which he notes is something that Mac users have bene asking for but have yet to receive, while a negative for the iPad is lack of multiple selection support in PowerPoint, something Schmucker notes is a pretty basic but crucial function for the app.
In the end, he concludes that a mix of the various Office suites is the best approach but admits that his main, go-to version is MacOffice 2011 (apart from using the latest version of Outlook due to enhanced performance): “I worked for the MacOffice team at Microsoft for several years, and at that time I also worked closely with colleagues on the WinOffice teams. Because of this background, I am often able to pick just the right Office app that will make a given task the easiest to do. One task might be particularly well suited to MacWord 2011 because Publishing Layout View— a feature only in that one Word version— will make this task easy. Another task might be suited to WinPPT because of the Animation Painter, which is not in any MacPPT version.
Yet another task might be best suited to WInPPT 2013 because it needs an Office extension not available in other Office suites.” And this is what Schmucker’s setup looks like with various versions of Office installed on Mac and using virtual machines:. MacOffice 2011 is my main productivity suite and is installed on my El Capitan MacBook Pro. MacOutlook 2016 came out long before the entire MacOffice 2016 suite, and because of the vastly improved performance of MacOutlook 2016, I use it as my main email client, instead of MacOutlook 2011. WinOffice 2013 is installed in a Windows 7 virtual machine (VM) (under Parallels Desktop for Mac Pro Edition) on my MacBook Pro. iPad Office is installed on my iPad. As you saw in the tables above, iPad Office is lacking many of the features of WinOffice and MacOffice, so I also have on my iPad which lets me access and run the full featured versions of any Office suite (or any other application) on my computers and use them with natural iPad gestures.
