Another limitation is that it only records fullscreen, and can’t record the secondary screen, therefore some cropping may be required in post-production. However, it does not record audio (neither microphone, nor system sounds). It saves footage in multiple formats and is compatible with many different brands of editing software. VLC is free to download and an amazingly powerful tool with countless functions, one of which is recording the screen. I did not test this combination myself as I am on a Windows machine, but drew my conclusion from past experiences, online videos and help forums. I haven’t had to work with iMovie for screencasting in the past, but from what I know about the software, it should be similar to WMM: powerful enough to get the job done, with a few workarounds perhaps. iMovie is user-friendly and a very good tool for basic editing. Quicktime player (Mac version ONLY) has the option to record the screen, and the resulting footage can be edited in iMovie. The OSX version of the WME+WMM combination.
Since WMM was not built specifically for screencasting, it requires some actions that do not have easy shortcuts, so it may be slightly time-consuming, but it is a powerful enough tool to get the job done. It supports a variety of formats so it can be used with a different screen recorder if needed. WMM would work well as a video editor, it has the capacity to add closed captions and callouts, and it has a user-friendly interface. I do not recommend WME unless absolutely no other option is available. Furthermore, I have noticed the quality of the recordings from WME is poorer than what Camtasia produces at a fraction of the hard drive space. Another potential issue with WME is the files it creates are huge (many GBs) which is great if you are after pristine quality, but for our purposes, it is unnecessary. I found no solution for the error after several tries, and it seems to be a known bug that occurs on Windows 7 and 8. While testing it, I kept getting an error which made the recording useless.

This is software that can be downloaded for free with Windows, and in theory should work without problems on Windows machines to record the screen and edit the footage, respectively.Īlthough not its primary use, WME works as a screen recorder and creates files compatible with WMM.

Windows Media Encoder + Windows Movie Maker I have reviewed several software options, with both free and paid licenses, to assess whether it is worth replacing Camtasia Studio.
