What screen recording software do you use?

[PhilEbiner]

Just curious to see what everyone else is using!

I’ll start - I use Screenflow

Your turn! GO!

[CarlosDeLeon]

I use Camtasia (version 9, which I was able to get at a discount).

I used Corel Video Studio before Camtasia.  It has very interesting editing capabilites, but I found that the audio quality was not very good.  I kept using it just for screen recording even after I switched to Camtasia for editing, as I found the screencasts were a little better, until I got tired of dealing with two different applications and switched completely to Camtasia.

[Gigmaster]

Screencast, all the way. It does a phenomenal job.

[Clicktolearn]

Hola gigmaster..I'm thinking of using Screencast..silly question coming up..Is the editing tool on screncast good? O r can I edit the Screencast videos in Windows movie Maker?

Gracias

Screencast-o-matic 

[KevinPFleming]

I use Screenflow as well!

I use QuickTime on Mac. It's free and easy to use. 

[DavidPrestidge]

I also use Screenflow capture.

[AmrinGrewal]

I use Camtasia. I don't think you can beat Camtasia in simplicity or both recording and light editing.

For FREE OBS studio is great.

If you have a good webcam Camtasia will turn on you. Trust me ...you will see been using camtasia for years and how dissapointed I am to know that it is incapable of recording a full hd video at any decent FPS. Heck, you can't even record 60fps on your screen if you don't pay $100 for the 2018 update

[YoniGoldberg]

I faced this issue recently. Camtasia is significantly dropping my Logitech c920 quality. Any suggestions on how to overcome this?

[Chris_Haroun]

I use Wirecast (same company as Screenflow - but I also use Wirecast for live YouTube videos). I also use Quicktime on my Mac and PowerPoint on my Windows computer (the Windows version of PowerPoint lets you record the screen). 

[AnnCampbell]

I use screencast-o-matic

[Andrzej_Pach]

I have been testing Bandicam lately and it proves to be a very high quality program for recording both screen and webcam.

Currently I use Camtasia 9 + Elgato Game Capture to capture my DSLR as a webcam to a separate mp4 file. 

I use camtasia for the ease of usage and video editing afterwards. Too bad camtasia can't record both screen + webcam with decent fps / resolution!

[gztibs]

Sreen O Matic is affordable for a new instructor like myself

[SamoriSAugusto]

I use Screenflow. But thistis from a year or two ago and I get constant messages to upgrade. I used a version of OBO that I got from Experfy, and I've used Camtasia, up until I had to pay for it.

I'd love a suggestion for what's recommended and why. What's Screencast-o-matic?

[AmrinGrewal · Accepted solution]

Screencast-o-matic is recording software that is pretty affoardable.

[Anass Erraidi]

hello ,

check the license, the free version it's only for personal use not for busines

[Lauryn77]

hi, I use screecast-o-matic too. is ti allowed to publish video on Udemy in free version of this software, where the logo is showed?

[ErickaNuñez]

Hi @Lauryn77! Watermarks from third-party recording software are not allowed on Udemy. What you can do instead is to use a free screen-recording software, such as Screenr or OBS. 

Regards, 

[Lauryn77]

thank you! It was an important doubt, before completing the whole course and having to remake it from the biginning! you really saved me, thanks!

[BenAnderson]

I use OBS

[mehtanilay10]

I prefer Icecream screen recorder and Bandicam in my Windows Machine.

[mahmudahsan]

I use Camtasia in my mac, sometimes QuickTime to quickly capture.

[Samarn]

I use Camtasia 9 on Windows.

[SamehSharaf]

Camtasia 2018.

I was lucky I waited for it to release last year and I got a discount since I was a graduate student.

It's simple and does the job.

[PederThornstrom]

Hi Phil,
I use OBS which I found pretty good. 
Somethings are missing as in: audio editing and a pause function. Other than that it is a great software.

Regards,
PT 

[ManojV]

I use Camtasia for recording and Audacity for audio editing.

[AshwinPajankar · Accepted solution]

I use Camtasia for Screen Recording, Editing, and Special Effects.

[JoeBaily856]

I Use camtasia for recording and basic editing.

I then export my audio to audacity for better editing editing and by video to adobe premiere pro for richer features before combining video and audio in premire pro for the final export.

[DanielEvans]

Camtasia for Mac.

It's basic but it gives me absolutely everything I need.

[dilips]

I use obs for mac. It works pretty well.

[Waseem123]

Initially I used screencast o matic. But couldn't get full screen recorded (eventhough full screen option was given in settings) and dark border was seen in video. Any insights to this issue? Or how to resolve it? 

Currently I am using loom. It's also available free, easy to use and edit the video.

[Pamela Katleba-Jenkins]

I have just started this journey of publishing courses and I discovered Loom, have you actually been able to upload the recordings in your Udemy Course? 

I actually like that Loom does screen & talking head. 

[AndréFontenelle]

Hi Phil,

I use iShowU and I'm too satisfied for use it.

Because, It quickly after recorded the video is ready to go.

[RamziDeveloper]

Hi @PhilEbiner i use Camtasia Studio and it is awesome

[Archgyan]

I use Streamlabs OBS studio but I plan to shift Camtasia since most of them here are using it.

[BarrieRose]

Wow I just spent an hour looking for the best free screen recording software... started with camtasia but it doesn't let you export with free version (unless its watermarked) , screencast o matic was pretty reasonably priced but then I realized you can use QUICKTIME on Mac laptops to record screen and the quality is better then screencast o matic...phewww, quicktime wins for being free and soooo easy to use. thanks for this forum, it was helpful as well

[MikeMcRoberts]

OBS of course
