Check before installing
- The free build records only 10 minutes at a time and stamps a watermark on the video. It is effectively a trial.
- For unlimited recording at no cost, OBS Studio does the same job.
What it is
A Korean screen recorder. It has long been used for capturing gameplay, online lectures and software walkthroughs, and it is simple to operate. What you can do for free is narrow enough that it is closer to a trial.
When to pick this
For short recordings when you want simple controls. For long recordings or to avoid paying, OBS Studio is the answer.
Details
Free build limits
Ten minutes per recording and a watermark on the video. Capturing a full lecture is not practical.
Recording modes
Full screen, a selected region, or a game window. Game mode costs the fewest frames.
Free alternative
OBS Studio has no time limit and no watermark, at the cost of more setup up front.
After a reformat
Enter the licence key again
For a paid copy, register again with the email and serial number from the purchase email. Until then it runs as the trial with a watermark.
Output folder and hotkeys
Recording folder, start/stop hotkey and quality settings are local. Move existing recordings out before formatting.
