Why would a person need to capture video from the screen? Well, for example, in order to create a training video that tells how to use one program or another, or to shoot a video that shows the passage of a difficult place in the game. Goals can be very different.
Video capture from the monitor screen is possible using special programs. These programs record what is happening on the screen. This process is called screencasting. The choice of such programs is huge and what you choose depends on the specific goals and personal preferences of the person.
One such program is Jing! A small instructional video is attached to the program. Whether you will go through it depends only on your desire. The language of the program, and therefore learning, is English. Then, you will be asked to register on the site, which is designed to upload screencasts.
If you refuse to study, then perhaps you will have difficulty learning the program. The program interface is minimized to the limit. Its management is located directly on the desktop, at the very top.
To capture screenshots or video from the screen, you must click Capture and select the area with the mouse on the screen, in this area capture will be carried out. After selecting the area, you need to select the button you need: Capture image or Capture video. The first is to take a picture from the monitor screen, the second is to record a video. When the video capture from the monitor screen is finished, you can immediately view it in the built-in player, which will open automatically, upload it to the site using the Share via button, you can save it on your computer: Save button, process it using another Camtasia Studio firmware , for this, click the Edit Camtasia Studio button, or simply cancel by clicking Cancel.
In the free version, unfortunately, many functions are cut off. So, you can shoot only small clips, no longer than 5 minutes, and you can save video only in sfw format. To save in other formats or shoot a longer video, you need to buy Jing! Pro.
CamStudio 2.6 beta is another program that captures video from a monitor screen. Unfortunately, it has not been updated for a long time, since 2010. In addition, you should not change the place where she saves the video, errors may occur. Meanwhile, the program is quite easy to use. You do not have to search for the necessary functions, everything is pretty obvious.
To adjust the recording area, click on the “Region” menu item. There are several options: full-screen mode, window mode, fixed area and area selection at the start of recording.
UVScreenCamera - the program for the Russian inhabitant is very convenient. And all because the language of this program is Russian. You can download it from the official site.
This program also has significant drawbacks - this program saves video in a specific ufv format. In order to watch video on another computer, you must either convert it using an additional program to another format, or attach a player to it.
This program also has a paid version. She has a lot of functions, but for the most part they are not interesting to the ordinary user. One of the few features of the paid version that may interest everyone is the ability to draw on the screen while the video is being captured from the monitor screen.
Taking screenshots from the monitor screen does not require special programs. To do this, press the button on the keyboard that says PrintScreen (if you have a laptop, this button can be called PrtSc for short). The image from the desktop is saved to the clipboard. Open any graphic editor, hold down two keys Ctrl + C or the right mouse button and select the "Insert" option in the menu that appears, the image will appear in front of you in the program, you just have to save it in a place convenient for you.
