Harvesting Celosia & Coleus Seeds

Can someone tell me the trick on when & how to get the seeds from Celosia & Coleus plants. I know both type have small black seeds from the pods, but do they have to be dried on the plants before I take the branch off, or can I cut the branch and just let it dry in a tray? How do you separate the little seeds from the rest of the pod? I tried placing pieces in a glass jar and shaking the jar until the seeds fell out, but then I had all the other mess mixed with it! Yea, I guess I could sit there with a tweezer picking the seeds out, but there must be a "better way"! How does everyone else do it? Thanks! Paul
