  • I've been using Camtasia Recorder for years. I won't go into details regarding it's features - you can find that on their site. I use it in recording training materials, video and voice conference and more. My 6 year old son can use it, he made a few videos while playing Minecraft. It is very user friendly minimal training required. Also has a lot of features to use with tons of tasks.

    Hope you try it. It is well worth it.

    • This is worth the shot. Try it for yourself and see the outcome.

      It is an excellent choice for easy creation of slick education, information or promotion videos.


  • i think Camtasia is the 'industry standard' but I recently bought Apowersoft screen recorder pro and it does the job. Think they also have a free basic version.
  • As mentioned above that's the best bet, however, if you're using Mac, my recommendation would be screenflow.
  • Screencast-o-matic.

    Free or $15/year for the pro version.
  • For screen recordings use screencast-o-matic. super easy

    to capture just images use the snipping tool. just go to windows and search "snipping tool"
  • Huge agreement on the Screencasto-matic. I love it. I have tried all kinds of free screencast programs and this is heads and tails above the rest. I popped for the paid version because it has tons of great features like video-in-video webcam integration, and drawing and editing on screen. I love it and you just can't beat the price even for the paid version. However, even the free version is way better than most freebie programs.

    • 1. Jing

      I love jing because you can capture screen videos or picture

      and just upload them to the cloud and get a link that you can give to any one.

      Like this! -- 1 - Mike Vietri's library

      very handy for outsourcing task.

      and it's free

      2. Screencasto-matic

      is also really good,

      use it once or twice can not say much..

      3. camtasia studio

      this one cost a lot of money

      but I used it for the free trail and it was really good,

      more like a whole editing software for screen captures



      Hope that helped

  • +1 for camtasia. Nice little tool and does what you need it to do.
  • When I need to record my screen no longer than 15 minutes, I use Screen Recorder because it's free

    • I'm with Jason,
      Screencast-o-matic is excellent and very easy to use. Been using it for a few years now and love it.

      Tried quite a few others and didn't get the same feel for them.
  • I like Fireshot - just sits there in your tool bar and offers plenty of save / capture options.
    No complaints

  • I like snagit myself but their site says for ages 89 and younger only ;-)

    • Age discrimination!

      I use ShareX. It's free and it works.
  • I use Bandicam. They have free version with some limitations.
  • For images - snagit
    For videos - camtasia

    • If you want something quick easy and free - Jing

      If you want something awesome, handy, and nifty and professional quality - Camtasia

      You can always use a freebie until they do another sale on appsumo.com I picked up my copy from there for something crazy like 50% off.
  • I use camtasia and screenflow both are great but I like screenflow a bit better (very little bit)
  • Yes you can use Camtasia its profesional and easy to use..
  • For MAC users (hopefully there are some, haha!) what I can *highly recommend* is 'Movavi'.

    They have a bunch of video & screenshot software at very affordable, one-time prices.

    Cheers

  • I have been using Camtasia and Snagit for about a year. I use both of them all the time. They also have great customer service if you have any problems.

    • I have tried several over the years and I found that most have features you will never use.

      Screencastomatic mentioned earlier in the thread is what I use. It accomplishes all I need and costs less than $20 a year.

      Save some money and try this option first.
  • For Image, I use the Print Screen button on the Keyboard. in the Windows 7 or, upper version there is an built in application is SNIPPING TOOLS. You can use this apps easily. On the other hand for video I use Camtasia or, Camstudio. Both of these apps has free version, you can use these, if you wish. Thanks.
  • I use Jing for this.

    Maybe you can try that as well.
  • I just got Corel's Video Studio Pro 8 for Christmas and it has a screen capture program built into it along with the video studio. I already had Camtasia and love it. Camtasia is well worth the money and I use it a lot!

    God Bless,

  • I use camtasia studio too. It is very user friendly. It captures and records your screen. You could even attach an iPhone and record the screen of your phone with a few simple steps.
  • I'm currently using Fraps but you can also use these screen capturing softwares Ezvid, Screenr and CamStudio.
  • thanks. Done

  • For screen shots I use PrtScr button on the keyboard (Windows7) and for screen recording ScreencastOmatic.

  • Hi

    Have you tried Jing, it's free and easy to use!
  • Jing works fine
  • If you're on a budget I would go with Jing or Jing PRO.
  • Hi,
    an awesome FREE screen recorder that works absolutely brilliantly is OBS. I believe it stands for Open Broadcast Software.

    Works on mac and windows I believe!
