Speaker 1: Hey all, hope you're doing well. In this video I'm going to share five best screen recorder software that you can use to record your screen. So whether you're recording your screen so that you can share it to team members or your staff or you want to create step-by-step screen tutorials just like what I'm doing right here, this video is going to help you whether you use a Windows or a Mac system. I'm going to share a few options with you and stay to the end of this video as I'll share the exact software that I use to record my screen and as well as being able to put that little face cam on the corner of all my videos. Starting with the first screen recorder software and that is called Loom. Loom is a great little tool because it's compatible with Mac, Windows and even your iOS and Android devices. What's great about Loom is that it's free but up to five minutes of video each time that you record and yes with Loom you can also create that cam bubble effect on your videos so you can present and record at the same time. To get started you simply install Loom, sign up for an account and then install the browser extension or if you like the desktop version. In my case I've got the Chrome extension installed so let's say I want to demonstrate something on my browser, I simply click that once. You get some options in terms of what you want to record like screen and camera, do you want to record the full desktop or current tab. You select your devices such as your microphone and your camera and you'll be able to see me right now as I bend down to see my actual FaceTime HD camera and a few of these other settings which you can adjust and once you're ready to go simply hit start recording. Let's go ahead and do a demo recording, I'll click on start recording. It's going to request what I want to share, entire screen, window or a Chrome tab. In this case I'll select Chrome tab and the Loom pricing page. Let's click on share and you're given three seconds to get ready. That's the countdown and now we are recording and obviously my FaceTime camera is right there and I'll go ahead and stop this recording. You'll then be taken to this editing mode where you can actually edit the video instantly. If you want to trim and cut some areas simply click on trim video and from here we can simply drag the little scrubber where we want to cut. So now it's going to start from here and if we want to cut something in between we can select somewhere here, click on split and then let's say we also do not want this little section here. We'll click on split again and right here let's say we do not want this area. We can simply delete it by selecting that area and then clicking delete. Now it's gone and now what we are left with is all this. So we can play it back and preview it if we want. So right here skipped all the way to this next segment and that is it in terms of trimming your video. You can't do much else to it otherwise. You can download the video by simply hitting the ellipsis button and then clicking on download and then clicking on download video. Do also note on Loom's free plan you can record up to 720p video quality whereas on the business plan you've got up to 4k so there's a big difference in terms of resolution there. The next way to record your screen is a free way and that is to use your system's built-in screen recording software and with Windows you can do it with some instructions that I'll share with you right here. These instructions are provided by InVideo and essentially what you want to do is open up game bar and then from there you configure the settings. Follow this. I'll provide a link to this page in the description box below and then what you do is you press the Windows key on your keyboard plus G and then you can start recording your screen. I don't have a Windows system so I can't demonstrate but I do have a Mac OS system. So on the Mac system all you need to do is hold the command shift five keys and when you do that this toolbar appears and what you do is select the options first selecting the right microphone. Let's say I want to use this one right here and then capturing that using the timer if you want to do so. Where do you want to save your video to? Do you want to save it to your desktop documents? I've named mine screen recordings. I've got a specific folder for it and on the left you can select what you want to capture your entire screen, a selected window, a selected portion. So let's say we want to select capture selected portion. We'll select that and we can see the little dotted area and we can drag what we actually want and then selecting what you want to record. Record the selected portion. I'll click on record now and now it has started. At the top bar you can see the little icon where it has a little stop button now. That means it is recording. Once you are done recording all you need to do is to click that once and that is it. Your video file will be saved in the location that you set in the options. As you can see in my case it's in the screen recordings folder. In terms of then editing your videos you can use your operating system's built-in video editor on the Mac OS. I believe it's iMovie and if you're using Windows it is Windows video editor. Of course there are paid options such as Adobe Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro. All right moving on the next way to record your screen is to use Canva. With Canva you can present and record anything you want, whatever you've designed on Canva. All you need to do is to go to that little ellipsis icon and then you'll see present. There's also present and record which is what you want. Click on present and record once. Click on go to recording studio and now set up your camera and microphone. I'll use the FaceTime camera again. Here I am selecting your microphone there and once you're ready click on start recording. Now it is recording my design. In this case this is a full keynote presentation. I can move along. It's recording my video right here. The talking head as well as my microphone. Once you're done you can end the screen recording. Once it's recorded you can see the link that you can share or you can download the video. Let's go ahead and save and exit. You can always go back to the video you recorded by clicking the ellipsis and then going to present and record again and you can click on download recording. Now that it's downloaded you can edit it in your favorite video editor or you can simply use Canva again to edit your video. So if we go back to our home page our main Canva home page that is we can simply drag and drop the video that we just downloaded. So right here I'll drag and drop it anywhere on my home page. Here's a video I just downloaded. What I can do now is create a new design. Let's say a video. If you don't see this simply type video and then you'll see the video template right there. We'll click that once. Now go to your uploads then to videos and then you'll find the video that you just uploaded. We'll click that once. That'll insert it and we'll just modify it so it takes up the entire canvas right here. I'll just drag it to the end and now what we can do is edit our video. So let's say we want to drag or trim the start of it. We can use that to drag. We can also split right here. Let's say we want to split and then split again right here. Deleting the middle and now we have edited our video to the way we want. Once you're done editing click on download and then download as an mp4 video. Moving on to the next screen recorder and this one's a more premium tool, one that's paid. That's called Camtasia. Camtasia has got a whole range of features so if you are serious about doing screen recordings whether that's for educational purposes or if you want to take your videos to the next level Camtasia is a great option. If you're using Windows it's compatible with that. Mac OS as well so compatible with both which is the option that you want to take if you are using Windows and want to go that professional grade. The only downside is that it's quite pricey and this is in Australian dollars. In US dollars it is about $2.99 but the great thing is you purchase this once and you have a license to use as long as you want but if there are some updates which they do release often then you will need to pay sometimes depending on the version number. But to run through some of the features with you they've got a range of templates to make it easier than ever to create the videos that you need so things like lower thirds, text overlays, effects, things like that. You've also got Camtasia packages, you've got different recording tools, simplified editing so they've got a really easy to use editing tool to remove, trim and move different sections, pre-built assets from a royalty free library, multiple screen recording options as well as being able to add multiple devices. So let's say you've got two cameras that you want to use, you've also got two different microphone devices for whatever reason and if you've got multiple screens as well that you want to share you can do all that with Camtasia. There's also interactivity and quizzing if you are in that educational field and want to get those going for your students, annotations of course like call outs, different transitions, animations, different cursor effects and paths. So yeah a whole range of features that's packed into Camtasia if you're looking for something more professional. Now onto the final screen recorder software and the one that I use and little fine print this is only compatible for Mac OS users and the one I use is called ScreenFlow. I've been using it for something like 10 years or so I think since they were version 2 now they are up to version 10 at the time of this recording. The reason why I use ScreenFlow is because number one I've been using it for quite a long time but not only that I love the simplicity of the editing features. There are some downsides especially if you are going to record things like 4k videos and really high quality videos with multiple layers it does kind of lag in that case. There are ways around it like using or enabling proxy but it's quite technical in that aspect and this is a very tool I use to record my screen as well as being able to put that little face cam on the corner of the screen and you may have noticed on the pricing plan it does start at $149 so that's half the price of what Camtasia costs so that's the difference there in contrast. In terms of the features of ScreenFlow pretty similar to Camtasia you know you've got things like extra title templates that you can add, multiple devices that you can also record, multi-app recording too all at the same time, you've got different video filters, automatic background remover and a host of other features that you get with ScreenFlow. I'm proud to say that I've recorded over 500 videos using ScreenFlow alone this is not just with my YouTube channel but also videos for online courses that I created in the past and videos that I recorded for my staff and team members. Now on to the verdict which screen recorder software is right for you. The first thing you're going to want to consider is what's your goal what's your objective in terms of recording these screen recordings do you simply want to create some quick recordings so that you can share with internal team members or staff members then all you really need is Loom because you get that five minute limit and it's free to get started but of course you can always upgrade at any time and the reason why Loom is a great choice is because you can upload to the cloud server and simply share that one link to your team members which makes it really efficient rather than having this video file that you now have to figure out how to upload it and then share it with others. If you're really on a budget then that built-in option for Windows or Mac OS is the way to go you can record at any time save that video recording and then edit using any video editor and then upload the way you want. If you want to present something specifically from your Canva account you can use Canva's present and record feature and if you have a little bit of a budget to splurge on and you actually need to create those professional high quality videos then why not invest in either Camtasia or ScreenFlow depending on your operating system. Nevertheless I hope this video was helpful and insightful in deciding which screen recorded software to use. If you enjoyed this video by all means give this video a thumbs up and looking forward to sharing the next video training with you.
