That’s all fairly standard fare for a free screen recorder, but take a minute to dive into Flashback’s advanced options and you’ll find a wealth of thoughtfully designed settings that will make your desktop recordings look truly professional. Once you’ve finished, your recording will appear in a simple editor, where you can crop and trim it to suit your needs, then export it to YouTube, an FTP server, or your PC. You can record from your whole screen, a window, a selected area, or a webcam.
Its interface is less intimidating than OBS Studio, so if you've never used a screen recorder before, it's an excellent choice. Despite being a free version of a paid program, FlashBack Express won't put ugly watermarks over your recordings or impose time limits, and it's packed with features and tools that rival many premium programs. OBS Studio is our favorite free screen recorder, but Flashback Express comes an extremely close second. It might take a little while to set it up exactly how you want, but OBS Studio is by far the best and most powerful screen recorder for gamers.
OBS Studio can also make full use of multi-core CPUs for improved performance, and can record at 60FPS (or even higher). You can stream live to Twitch or YouTube gaming, save projects and come back to them later, or encode your footage in FLV format and save it locally.īecause OBS Studio can record directly from your graphics card, it’s able to capture games running in full-screen mode (many other screen recorders can only record if the game is windowed), with customizable hotkeys to control the recording.
OBS Studio supports both streaming and recording in high definition, with no restrictions on the number or length of your creations. Unlike the hugely popular FRAPS (which only lets you record for 30 seconds at a stretch unless you’ve bought a license, and applies a watermark to the resulting footage), OBS Studio is open source, and completely free to use without restrictions. So far they have done nothing except make it impossible for me to contact them again.If you’re a keen gamer, OBS Studio is easily the best free screen recorder for you. This I did, including a shot of the 2016 reset. The next day I got an email from Una saying they could not find my records but if I would submit screenshots of my purchase order they would sent me a new license. After calling them many times someone finally answered the phone. Now, when I try to reinstall it I get a banner telling me I have to purchase VIP edition.
I have been doing that every time my computer gets an update until now. I submitted another ticket and Zoe said to uninstall and reinstall. It worked until Micro Soft updated my computer then it stopped working. I submitted a ticket on their support page and Zoe emailed me a link and told me to uninstall and reinstall with the link. I purchased Apowersoft Streaming Audio Recorder and Streaming Video Recorder in May 2014.
Apowersoft life time license is not for life. I would give their product a four but their support sucks.
