How can I record a video of my screen with highlighted cursor?

5 replies
Hi,

I want to create a video of me installing and configuring a plug-in. I want to make a tutorial video of it, and upload it.
I saw on youtube several videos where the person has his cursor highlighted in yellow circle, and they also zoon in/out on important fields.

Which software does that? Thank you.

    You can use TechSmith's Camtasia Studio. It comes with a 30 day free trial and after that you need to part with $300. However, if it's just a single video then 30 days should be enough.

    You've got an option named "Cursor Effect" and you can play with the effects over there.

    Tip: Don't go all out and use all the possible effects, it will not be very pleasant to watch

    I myself use camtasia too. It's great and the 30 days trial will be enough. Like Alexandru mentioned, don't use all possible effects, cause the videos will be just too clutered. (:

    1. Don't bump your own threads as they are likely to be deleted if the mods catch you.

    2. Camtasia.
