Can it easily record a square section of the screen without recording the full screen? Would be nice to have a program like that equivalent to screenshot tools like flameshot.
- wwwhizz 5y agoThis only records the whole screen. You might want to try OBS Studio?
- tartoran 5y agoOBS studio is really a good free software!! It has a lot of features and could be a bit intimidating at first but I got nothing but praise for them
- makeitrain 5y agoI will use OBS for recording tech training sessions. It's a robust app that can be set up for anything I need. I develop open source software in a linux desktop environment, and am thrilled by the capabilities of this program to record my workflow. I commend the author of this post for creating a simple tool for windows. Anything that helps is capture and share knowledge is a win.
- dend 5y agoYou might want to try ScreenToGif (https://www.screentogif.com/ https://www.screentogif.com/) for Windows and Kap (https://getkap.co/ https://getkap.co/) for macOS.
- bdcp 5y agoscreentogif is my go-to for windows for anything recording
- yreg 5y agoWhy not the built in QuickTime on macOS? It lets you choose a screen section with arbitrary aspect ratio.
- dend 5y agoDoes it offer compression, post-recording resizing and multi-format exports?
- Felk 5y agoI can also recommend licecap (https://www.cockos.com/licecap/ https://www.cockos.com/licecap/), which is quite minimalistic but gets the job done
- thoughtpalette 5y agobeen using LICEcap for a few years, works perfectly.
- Foomf 5y agoShareX might be what you're looking for. https://getsharex.com/ https://getsharex.com/
- rtutz 5y agoThis is indeed something I assume people would use a lot. The Windows snipping tool is already pretty neat, but the capability to record video and save as gif/webm would be really helpful.
