which screen recording software you test?
sorry for the off-topic :-)

Sorry for the delay, been traveling these past few days. I found it on icecreamapps.com, click on Screen Recorder. It is good; the only downside I have with it is that it only allows 5 minutes maximum recording time. Unless you become a paying customer, then you are limited. Her tutorials are around three minutes, so she is using it effectively. If the need arises (and I don't find a better alternative), I will pay the one-time fee of $30 and be done with it. Infinite recording. Yay!

30 to me is a rip off. You can use ffmpeg for free to get the same results. And if your not tech savy there are tons of free screen casting software that controls ffmpeg for you.

I agree. As I said, "...and I don't find a better alternative". Truth is, I reached out shortly after that message and asked a few of my friends in the sound business who have some cool recordings on their business sites. Both kicked back to me two names: OBS Studio and ffmpeg. They both recommended ffmpeg over OBS only if I need to manage sound input/output. I don't. So I guess I will go with OBS. I just watched about two hours of ffmpeg tutorials and praise videos on YouTube and definitely find it interesting, but OBS may be a little easier on me without having to nitpick what/when/where to record through all of those fancy ffmpeg commands. Truth is, I will likely put ffmpeg on my Linux VM so I can toy with it. It looks awesome.

I haven't tried OBS, yet. I will let you know once I take that leap. And if it is better than icecream, trust that a donation to OBS will be made.

I gotta scram, thanks again for everything.

I use Screener on few occasions back in time. Recently I found Scneencast-O-Matic, but never used it.

Even with the time limited to 5 min you may record a bunch of 5 min videos and just snap them.

I use VLC for most basic stuff.

OBS is more for streaming purposes, where you can also overlay texts, etc. easily and on-the-fly

Otherwise, record your screen first, then after that you can edit and enhance your audio/video

you can use ffmpeg for sound input/output but it can be a little trickier. I use OBS Studio on Windows for streaming my games on twitch. But you can also make videos instead of streaming. I use ffmpeg on linux for creating screencasts, or how to-videos. Probably mostly to keep in touch with how to deal with ffmpeg. ffmpeg is an unwieldy beast.

I used OBS before. Sometimes I just got a whole black capture window after recording, which was really annoying. Now I am using Joyoshare Screen Recorder for Windows and Mac to record video in 1080p with audio from the computer system or other external devices. It is more user-friendly and runs much more stable.
