Enable system sound, microphone input, or both, then verify the correct devices are selected.
Choose MP4, AVI, WMV, or FLV, then review frame rate, quality, and H.264 hardware encoding settings.
Review the output folder, start and stop hotkeys, cursor settings, auto-stop, and auto-split behavior.

Screen Recorder Pro includes the recording capabilities of GiliSoft Screen Recorder, then adds a broader set of tools for editing, conversion, download, audio, and media preparation.
Set the screen, webcam, system sound, and microphone before captureChoose the screen, webcam, and audio sources
The capture setup should match the job: full-screen lessons, application demonstrations, selected-region tutorials, webcam presentations, meetings, or screen-plus-camera instruction.
Choose full screen, a window, or a custom recording region
Capture system sound, microphone narration, or both togetherFor picture-in-picture recording, enable the webcam layer and position it where it will not cover buttons, captions, or important application content.
Recording controls for clearer, more manageable captures
Each control below is paired with its actual interface so you can recognize where the setting appears before starting a recording.
Zoom while recording
Magnify the cursor area during tutorials and demonstrations so small interface details remain visible.
Visible watermark or logo
Add text or image branding when recordings need ownership, project context, or client identification.
System sound and microphone
Record application audio, online meetings, narration, or both sound sources in sync with the screen.
Cursor and click effects
Show the pointer and emphasize mouse actions so viewers can follow each on-screen step.
Recording hotkeys
Start, pause, stop, and take snapshots without repeatedly returning to the main window.
H.264 GPU encoding
Use supported hardware encoding to improve recording efficiency on compatible Windows systems.
Quality and format settings
Configure MP4, AVI, WMV, or FLV output, frame rate, quality, and related capture settings.
Scheduled recording
Prepare timed capture tasks for webinars, classes, meetings, streams, or unattended sessions.
Snapshots during recording
Capture still images with a hotkey and save visual references for documentation or support work.
Auto-stop conditions
End a recording automatically by duration or another configured condition so capture does not continue indefinitely.
Automatic file splitting
Divide long recordings by time or file size so classes, meetings, and webinars are easier to store and review.
Webcam presentation controls
Use webcam beauty, skin smoothing, background removal, virtual backgrounds, or green-screen matting where appropriate.
Edit and finish the recorded video
Move into the Pro editing tools when a raw capture needs cleanup, clearer pacing, additional explanation, branding, or a different delivery format.
Trim unwanted openings, endings, pauses, or mistakes
Combine clips and choose a transition where appropriateTrim, crop, rotate, and adjust speed
Remove unwanted sections, correct framing or orientation, and change playback speed when a recording needs tighter presentation.
Join clips into one video
Combine several recordings, demonstrations, or lesson segments and use a restrained transition between related parts.
Effects, zoom, and volume changes
Apply visual effects, create timed zoom areas, and adjust volume over selected ranges to improve attention and clarity.
Text, image, video, and shape overlays
Add timed labels, logos, callouts, PIP video, or shape elements for instructions, branding, and visual explanation.
Add, remove, or record audio
Replace unwanted sound, add background audio, or record additional voice narration after screen capture.
Subtitles and visible-mark cleanup
Add or create subtitles for accessibility and explanation, and use the available cleanup tool on authorized footage when an unwanted visible mark must be removed.
Continue beyond recording with the Pro workspace
The Pro edition is for users who want capture and practical media preparation in one place. These tools complement recording rather than replacing the dedicated capture controls.
Video processing
Convert and prepare recorded videos when a project needs another format, size, orientation, or finishing step.
Authorized video download
Bring permitted online source material into a training, demonstration, or media project before editing or conversion.
Audio tools
Work with narration, extracted sound, recorded audio, and other media audio required by the final project.
Text and subtitle tools
Prepare captions, scripts, subtitle assets, and supporting text used alongside recorded video.
Move from capture to the right finishing tool
The main workspace keeps recording, video, audio, download, and text tasks close together. Choose only the tool needed for the current output instead of treating every utility as part of the recording step.
- Recorder for screen, webcam, system sound, and microphone.
- Video tools for trimming, joining, overlays, effects, and conversion.
- Audio tools for narration and soundtrack preparation.
- Download tools for authorized online source material.
