Free Your Print Screen Button with screen recorder

I promise that the print mark on the PrtScrn (print screen) button of your Windows keyboard has become blurred if you're a screenshot addict. Since the step of copying screen is simple and easy, tons of people take delight in talking about it. However, you might be bothered when you just want to capture a part of your screen, wasting a lot of time on picture trimming and cropping with graphics program, or you want to decorate the screen capture by adding smart text and picture-in-picture boxes. This time have you ever think about screen recorder program which can also give you a hand? Don't think that a great screen recorder only records things; it captures every frame of your movement and save it as a picture. More, it makes your captured image more readable and vivid. Now let's take a example about the advantages of capturing screen with DemoCreator, the screen recording software.

Capture any customized area of your screen

PrtScrn can only make a copy of full screen, so you have to trim the screenshot if you just want to capture an application window or a specific area of your desktop. DemoCreator offers application window size and custom size to identify the capture area directly. You can simply choose Capture Application and select the right application in the pull-down menu. The screen capture area will be automatically locked up. If you like to customize capture area size, choose Custom Size and adjust it by dragging the red square frame. You can also setup the window size by inputting specific width and length value.

Add texts and notes to your screenshot

With Microsoft Paint, you can only add some simple text descriptions into your screenshot. DemoCreator provides plenty of solutions to make it true to nature. Before you right click on the video slide and choose Export BKImage to save your video as a screenshot, you can add different types of text boxes to the video slide.

Export a suite of screenshots

Say goodbye to the outdated method of continuous screen capture, you have to press PrtScrn button and switch to Microsoft Paint to have a paste several times, not to mention the annoying picture trimming. Now you can firstly record a short video displaying all screenshots at a time, then export them one by one. DemoCreator allows you to modify every screenshot on the premise of coherent slideshow of screen captures, assuring the high quality of all screenshots and saving your precious time.

A screen recorder achieves the job that screen capture tool can do, within lesser steps, easier operation and more additional features compared with PrtScrn + Microsoft Paint. Though screen recorder emphasizes recording videos, it do offer you convenience for screen capture, and would be your worthy assistant very soon.

Re: Free Online Screen Recording Tools - [quote="Kevin":3r5ksabo]Hi David, Can any of these tools record YouTube videos (and/or audio from YouTube)?[/quote:3r5ksabo] Hi Kevin, Another option is to download RealPlayer along with their video download manager plugin. What this does is bring up a little bar over any flash video that is opened. You can then choose to download the video straight to your computer. Then, you can watch the video using RealPlayer. The new plugin also allows you to convert the video to other video formats. I've used it quite a bit and absolutely love it. It's much easier than setting up screen recorder software to record the video. It works with any Flash video which includes YouTube videos. So far I've only gotten it to work with Internet Explorer. For some reason I get an Add-On error in FireFox.
Well written manuals... - I don't mind reading manuals, as long as they're well written. All the information you need should be found at your finger tips, instead of scattered through it or not covered at all. My long tale - in case anyone's interested. I've had this digital recorder for about a year and a half, never had any problem with it. Never messed with the settings since I set them, a year and a half ago. So, a couple of weeks ago, I discovered that for some reason when I was downloading files to my computer, instead of getting them in MWA as I normally did, I was getting them in DSS - and the quality was horrible. And when I'd convert them to WAV (the only file type I could convert them to) the quality remained horrible. (I don't even know what DSS was/is...) ANyway, I skimmed through the manual once (it's a PDF file on the computer) and it didnt' tell me what I wanted to know, but after posting my request for help here I read through it again and found that somehow I'd changed the quality of recording from "high" to "low". Don't know how that happened... But it wasn't easy to find - the index certainly was of no help... I still have a puzzlement though, as the King of Siam would put it. For the last year and a half the most I've been able to record at one time is 2 hours and 12 minutes. NOW, even though I've got the recorder set back to High quality, I can record 4 hours! It just doesn't make any sense!
Size does matter... - Okay, sorry, I couldn't resist. When I first started office work, 20 years ago, I started on a Macintosh - the black and white screen, the tiny print, the tiny screen... and I loved it. For various reassons I was forced to move to the PC, and although it took me a while I got used to it. Started with a 13 inch screen and had no problem... THen I moved up to the 15 inch screen and after a month or so I absolutely couldn't go back to the 13 inch size - everything was so cramped.... Right now I"ve go that same 15 inch screen and its fine... if I worked seriously with graphics I'd want something larger, but for my writing, 15 inch is more than adequate. But I would like a Plasma TV screen.... if the price goes down a bit more I think I'll snap one up... Interestingly as the size of TV screens get larger, the size of personal "walkmans" gets smaller, now you can put hours and hours of music on a piece of equipment the size of a cigarette lighter...so easy to carry while you're jogging! One thing I could never do is play video games on a cell phone. Not that I have a cell phone. But to squint at those tiny dots...when I'm used to full size games in arcades... I just can't see the attraction of that. But I suppose if kids don't know any better...
Re: Do bigger monitors save time? - Hi Kevin, Thanks for the welcome! I would agree that two 17's would work well but really, any size would work. I'd be careful in going after the larger monitors that are traditional heights but are really wide, unless you have the desk space for it. Choose your monitors carefully as well to ensure that you try to find ones that have a small frame outside of the actual monitor screen. That way, when you put them together, the screens look a little more uniform. Last tip for either multiple monitors or one large one... Speed your mouse motion up. If you don't, you'll spend forever scrolling from one screen to another or across a larger screen. It'll take a bit to get used to at first but after a few days, using a mouse with regular motion will seem painstakingly slow!
