I like the option to have mouse actions pop ups in the video. Great for instruction. Not worth the 255 per year for one seat. No price deals for teachers unless you purchase from the suite of more expensive products.
I probably will stick to the free version for life.
Great simple app. Start the program. Find the video you want running on the player it wants to run on. Size your capture area in FreeCam. And let it roll. Saves as a wmv. I typically edit, trim, re-size or crop in a video editor, then save as the file type I need. FreeCam has saved me HOURS or capture time.
I've tried many, even paid for them, but this software is so easy to use. I was feeling right at home with it after just a few minutes and so far, no issues whatsoever. Highly recommended.
Love the software. Only thing I would request is an option to disable the 3 second countdown for those of us who want to start recording instantly. Other than that, KUDOS
Easiest software to use for screen recording, however, if it ran out of space for long recording, the entire recording will be lost.
Happened to loss some vital recording due to this.
I used this program for a long time. It was the only easy to set up screen recorder before I started using OBS Studio after discovering how easy it was to use. Here's some comparison with OBS Studio which looks complicated but isn't.
Pros: Click record and the recording starts, easy and nice
3 SECOND COUNT DOWN!!! This feature (which OBS Studio lacks) made it possible for me record synthesia videos without catching the beginning screen.
Adjustable window (OBS Studio lacks this feature requiring me to crop the video) so you only record what you want to see.
WMV export (OBS Studio exports in MKV format which cannot be detected by Adobe Premiere Pro, I need to trim and re encode the video for further editing)
You can edit the video before exporting.
Cons: Bad audio codec
15 fps makes for some rough recording (OBS can get 60)
Exporting and preview loading takes a stupid amount of time for long recordings (OBS saves immediately as it records)
Takes a lot of computer power (OBS Studio is very light)
Cannot read the screen of Amazon and Netflix (OBS STUDIO CAN!!! GET MOVIES CHEAP!!!)
That's all folks! If you want an easy to use recording software where audio and video don't need to be pristine then this is perfect for you!
