While that can be a great timesaver, you might have your own ideas of the annotations you need. So when we clicked the "File" menu on a program for our own test project, for instance, ActivePresenter created a slide with an image of the screen, where "File" was highlighted, then added a callout saying "Select menu item". If you'd like to create a tutorial or demonstration, you can have the program automatically highlight keypresses and mouse clicks, and display a text annotation on what you're doing. It'll then record what's happening at a click, before exporting the results to images (JPEG, PNG) or video (WMV, AVI, MPEG4, WebM). ActivePresenter Free is a capable screen recorder with a lot of potential applications.Īt a minimum you might set it up to record a fixed area, an application window or the entire display.
