Software to make a video for the staff

[genesis]

Hi

 

We have purchased a new software and want to train the staff as show to use this software. So I have installed the software on my laptop and want to make a video while on my laptop . Means I speak how to use the software by moving the mice and clicking various tabs on the application and explain how to sue the software, whatever I do on the laptop screen and that I speak, I would like to record with my voice in it.

 

Please let me know if there is any free software which I can to do this. Do I need a microphone to do this?

 

Thanks

I use this Wink - [Homepage] You can add sound (or not) at different points in the video. I mostly do popup's with circles and arrows, showing what to click or what to type in.

if youre on windows 10 just use the game bar windows key +g you can use a mic with that as well i believe

If you're on W10, try Win + G which opens the "Game Bar" which may allow you to record (depends on your hardware). You'll need a mike of some sort for audio. If your laptop has one built in you could use that, but I suspect an external one would be much better.

 

Ninja'd!!!

 

If you want something more fancy https://obsproject.com/ may be worth a look.

I've tended to go for Camtasia for this sort of thing.

Would recommend a headset with boom microphone for doing voice work.

I use Bandicam (https://www.bandicam.com/free-screen-recorder/) which allows you to record portions of your screen, and gives you good control over the output (saving audio as a separate file, splitting audio sources into tracks, MP4/AVI formats with adjustable bitrates...)

 

Free version allows you to record for 10 minutes at a time (could always stitch the videos together!) and has a Bandicam watermark on it.

If you have an adobe subscription, I'd recommend Captivate.

Active presenter free edition should do all that you need. You will need a mic to record sound if your laptop doesn't have one fitted.

PS no time limit, no watermark, just does what it says on the tin!
