hey everyone and welcome to another ht2 toriel in this video I'm actually going to do a tutorial on or a view on the screen recording tool I'm using right now called camstudio what this does it allows you to record the actual pixels on your screen as they move and you can obviously upload YouTube there's a ton of video on YouTube with people using their screen recorders and posting videos so I'm here I'm going to do a review on camstudio basically it is a free program so it's going to be very stripped-down version of what you may have seen in Camtasia Studio 6 it has all the basic features to pause and you know a little bit of ending some annotations so I'll go over the different modes and different features with you guys first of all this is what it's going to look like when you first open it up it's got the full window you can also use the toggle button to switch to a compact view and just these so I'm gonna use this view for now when you're recording it shows you your current frame which is basically your time elapsed which is about a minute now 32-bit color and the codec you're using which I'll get into in a minute the frame 8 the frame rate you're getting or the recording of your video and the dimensions you're recording in so when we hit file we can have their stop pause or exit camstudio which we can also do from here here or here when we hit region we can either do a regular region a fixed region or a full screen so right in the region is a it's not a constant region that's constantly expanding and contracting a fixed region if I click on is what I'm in now you can select the width height and also I will tell you the width and height that you can record in to get HD quality for YouTube videos I feels you this already 640 by 360 900 by 600 which actually gets little horizontal bars are the best 1080 8 by 6 12 and 1280 by 720 so now I'm recording it exported by 360 and I have also been enabled which means it follows my mouse wherever I go and it drags the corners to pan so if I'm leaving it it'll catch up to my mouse because the auto pan speed is not very high so that is region and also fullscreen it will just record the poll 1680 by 1050 that my my monitor is that right now when I go to options there's a whole lot more options first of all and this is where you select the vo compress your codec that you want to use I'm using a DivX codec right now which is available for download and I have also done a video on you can configure how this codec act compresses your videos and how it looks on the video is done so if I can figure it I'm using a 720 HD profile right now which is why the quality is so good when you hit the little HD button on the bottom right hand corner of this video so I'm going to hit OK the quality I obviously set to a hundred in order to enable HD I've let the framerate auto adjust so that if something is running in the background it will concentrate less on the actual video recording and more on that application so that's basically video options for this window right here also this the DivX six point eight point five codec which I will show you I ever shows you how to get is pretty much the best HD recording codec for camstudio second under options is cursor options where you can choose what your cursor looks like whether or not you show your cursor in the first place do you want to highlight your cursor with like a little yellow circle or square or something so I don't actually want to do that next you can record audio from your microphone from your speakers or not at all I'm obviously recording from microphone right now and you can also choose your audio options for your microphone speakers as well as this little synchronization just in case the audio comes before the video I'm still tweaking a little with that so pardon me the video seems a little bit off next is enable auto pen which is very important if you're if you're um if your cursor is actually moving around the screen I can disable auto pan and I can move my cursor out of your screen right now but that wouldn't be very helpful because you wouldn't see what I was doing so next is auto pan speed which I've set to nine it which is pretty decent speed which means it's not like flying all over the place but it's pretty smooth as you can see so that's my you can go from zero to 200 by the way for maximum fan speed next under options is program options where you can minimize the program on start which means this whole window here won't be here there is high flat rectangle during recording which is just this tiny little green flashing rectangle and this right here which is actually showing where I'm recording on the screen but no need for that I'll just leave it they have settings on exit definitely do leave this checked so you never have to re select your codec and your resolution and your auto pan speed every single time you open tap track captured translucent layered windows this is good if you're using Windows Vista Aero very very good and also play on it stops temporarily direct for temporary every recording which is just making sure you don't accidentally exit your video recording thread priority I suggest you leave this at normal otherwise it'll kind of take away from the CPU usage of other programs and troubleshooting also you can record and you your SWF file upon completion if your recording to SWF but I am recording to ATI format and although I showed you an entire video just for the keyboard shortcuts for starting recording ending recording showing layouts etc so watch that video to an HD last but not least actually not last but we have screen annotations which allows you to put a little huh that you want to just have a little little arrow pointing something on your screen you I can actually add those into my video as I'm recording other tools include ambitions which is kind of the same here I'll put a little actually you can't actually see a video of me a screen because that doesn't work very well but I'll exact that next you have your view which I showed you you can change from normal compact and view just from this this button right here boom boom and those are the three views I'm in a movie right now and last but not least their help button which you know shows you what version of camstudio you're using that takes you to the camstudio website for extra help fa Q's donations experiment to the review but um that is basically it that is what I used to record my screen so if you're wondering how to get this HD I also have a video on how to record in HD
