How To Record Your Screen on Windows & Mac - 5 Best Screen Recorders
Learn how to record your screen on Windows or Mac using any of these 5 best screen recorders. I'll share free screen recorders as well as paid options so you can best decide which method is best for you to record your computer screen.
I personally use ScreenFlow to record most of my screen recordings as its interface and controls are intuitive to use. Based on my 10+ years of using it, it's been the best screen recorder for KZread videos.
The tools I mention in this video is for you if you're looking to:
• Record your screen to demonstrate or train team members
• Make instructional, how-to screen recordings
• Or if you simply want to share screen recordings to upload to KZread

Such great suggestions. I have used a few of these that you mentioned in the past and really after looking at them all I went with the ScreenFlow...for some reason the downloading process was a nightmare not like a typical download...I love that way it works but the 2 hours or more to try to figure out why the downloading, licensing and other issues "ain't nobody got time for that". They do offer a follow along video to help but you should offer different looks downloading. A few steps were skipped! Thanks for your suggestions...it helped me make my decision.
Literally knew all of those, but thanks! Great to have you back after a while!👌
Found this channel today. I am super angry with the YT algo. for not recommending me your videos earlier. Just awesome! :)
Thanks so much for the Mac command + shift + 5. So easy to record the screen. I tried Quick Time Player and couldn't understand what was wrong. These commands make it a breeze!
well done to you it took 5 years to realise i can use control etc buttons to record mac screen. great upload easy to understand.
Guys, remember that OBS does allow you to record your screen + add transitions and stuff that makes production super easy, you don't have to stream on Twitch, it's super easy to use and there are lots of youtube tutorials if you get stuck :)

Thank you so much for this educational tutorial. Amazing presentation and good stuff. For me Canva seems better as to start with, but I will try to look at other options too. At the moment, I am trying to sue the FREE version of Camtasia and Look. Let's see how it works. What is your opinion about OBS? For me, it's really technical and not so user friendly.
Very helpful!! As always! 😃
This is great, thanks! I didn't know you could create a screen recording inherently with the Mac. That is very valuable.
Great video. Is there a way to pause screen recording using the quicktime function with macbook pro? There were a couple videos on youtube suggesting hitting the ESC key, then Option/Pause but this doesn't seem to work now. ESC key doesn't change anything. Thanks
Thank you sooo much it all worked out thanks to you you earned another subscriber!!!
Can any of these tools able to record the screen and camera at the same time on different video tracks.. so you can later edit them in post processing? If i want to later move the camera bubble to a different location or to hide it completely as it may interfere with some content in the screencapture. I think Quicktime recording at least mixes the two into one video so you can’t later toggle camera capture on/of or relocate/resize the camera picture in picture.
Great, thanks for solving my problem :)
Great video! Thank you

Hey thanks for your video, i use loom but realise it cant do system audio, like it cant record playback a loop in garageband, fo you know if thats true, and can screenflow do that?
Thank you very much for this video, much appreciated. Exactly what I was looking for. I think with the PC connected to the iMac over Microsoft Remote Desktop, and with three monitors, I can leverage the native Mac OS recorder to record the PC screen as displayed on the iMac screen. Can't beat that I guess. But tempted to check the free trial of Camtasia...

Try OBS studio, it’s an open source screen recording software. I personally use it for my channel. You can use it for screen recording or stream on KZread, twitch and other streaming services. It’s pretty good and lots of people use it, because of this there are lots of tutorials online if you get stuck. :) hope this helps. 😁

Hi Aurelius , this was such a great video ! 😀 you have inspired me to make more content like this , quick question, do you use screen flow for just recording the screen, or do you use it for editing the final video as well? was jus wondering if it can replace something like final cut or adobe premiere ? And what you use ? Thanks
@AureliusTjin

That's a good question. You could get away using ScreenFlow to edit most videos but it depends what you're editing. If you're going to be doing lots of color grading, correcting, and effects, ScreenFlow isn't good for that. If your videos are mainly screen recording, then ScreenFlow is all you need. I've dialled in my camera settings so that I don't need to do any major color correcting so I edit everything in ScreenFlow for my screen tutorial based videos. For videos where it's 100% talking head, I use Adobe Premiere Pro. ScreenFlow is going to give you more options for screen effects specifically (scaling/zooming, mouse cursor effects, etc).

Wasn't sure where to ask this but, has anyone noticed a reduction in image quality on KZread lately? Not with this video but on other channels, especially with motion or complex scenes, such as lots of trees? I see a lot of macro-blocking (I think it's called) - used to happen on 420p and lesser playback settings but now I'm seeing it on 720p as well, even for channels lucky enough to have VP9 video encoding.
If I want to use a different voiceover for video tutorials, what's the best way to do this?

@@AureliusTjin circling back after some success and struggle...I've switched to ScreenFlow. While the multi video/audio sources are on both, and fine, the editing UI/UX feels much better to me on ScreenFlow. There appears to be no way to scrub audio in Camtasia, and the timeline hot keys are very limited in comparison. How you have a Mac native product that does not understand a Magic Track Pad, gestures, etc...beyond me. I'm also coming from a Premiere and Blender background for what that's worth where these type of keyboard/trackpad editing controls are deep. Food for thought.
