Recording Computer Screen...

RBD

I need to make a video that records the movements of a computer screen, as is often seen in tutorial videos.

Can anyone please tell me how this is done?

quicktime pro also will do it, but the files are hard to edit.

@shian- Thanks.

You do a good job of promoting yourself as a curmudgeon, but you're one of our most important contributors here.

I'm primarily looking for cheap.

On mac I use a program called "Ishowu HD" Cheaper than Camtasia but not as fully equipped http://www.shinywhitebox.com/store/shop.php

On the PC you can use a free, reliable tool from the REAPER developers, licecap: http://www.cockos.com/licecap/

The compression is low so you need plenty of disk space.

My own personal recommendation - BB FlashBack

http://www.bbsoftware.co.uk/bbflashback.aspx

They have free version also - http://www.bbsoftware.co.uk/BBFlashBack_FreePlayer.aspx

It is simple and very effective.

I also recommend Ishowu HD for mac.

If you want to do anything professional like zooming into the image or closeups etc there's really no way around it, you have to recreate the screen in a vector format.

@RBD we'll have none of that! Believe the hype - there's nothing here worthy of your respect. I think Curmudgeon fits aptly.

Curmudgeonly like a fox.... or something.

Magix video editing software does it as well, one can choose which sound source (if different cards), set the crop and should the mouse appear on the recording or not.

Howdy, Stranger!
