Tools for Video Recording

Below you find a list of tools for video recording in:

Linux

The list for Linux is a revised form of this review.

VokoScreen

Easy to use and records from all sources: screen + camera + audio. It can output in MP4 format. Tested on IMADA environment and it works fine. It is the recommended choice for the Linux environment.

Installation:

sudo apt install vokoscreen

To edit one can then use shotcut. Installation:

sudo apt install libsdl2-dev
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:haraldhv/shotcut
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install shotcut

(Choose format ‘H.264 High Profile’ for a good quality export.)

Alternatively, OpenShot can also be used for editing but it was not working on IMADA settings when tried.

SimpleScreenRecorder

Screen + audio recording. Not camera recording. Easy to use. Light and hence good for slow machines

Installation:

sudo apt install simplescreenrecorder

To edit the output you can use shotcut or OpenShot.

gtk-recordmydesktop

Screen + audio recording, not from camera.

sudo apt install gtk-recordmydesktop

One feature that other programs do not have is the possibility to run the program from command-line. Henrik Midtby made available a https://github.com/henrikmidtiby/AutomatedScreencasting to use with recordmydesktop, that adds a logo to the recording and other stuff.

To include the camera, a solution is to use the program guvcview that just sends the output from the camera in the screen and then record it via recordmydesktop.

sudo apt-get install guvcview recordmydesktop

To edit the output you can use shotcut or OpenShot.

obs-studio

This program seems to be doing everything but it is rather complicated.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:obsproject/obs-studio
sudo apt update
sudo apt install obs-studio

Kazam

The version from the standard ubuntu repository does only Screen + audio recording.
Installation:

sudo apt-get install kazam 

A newer version does also camera recording. Installation:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:sylvain-pineau/kazam
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install kazam 

It could not be tested overall. To edit the output you can use shotcut or OpenShot.

ScreenStudio

(in java). Not tested at IMADA.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:soylent-tv/screenstudio
sudo apt update
sudo apt install screenstudio

Windows and Mac

The following three tools all offer video + camera + audio recording.

Kaltura CaptureSpace via BlackBoard

Select MyMedia in the menu from MyTeaching, then include a link to the video in a Discussion Board of the course page in BlackBoard.

Camtasia Studio

Available for Win and Mac. It seems the most recommended one and indeed after testing and playing around it is really cool. A license costs 1700 Kr. It does:

The free-trial is a 30-day version that leaves a watermark on the background of the video.

Here is a list of Alternatives

QuickTime

This software is only for Mac and it is built-in in the operating system. It can be activated with the short cut: cmd+shift+%. It can be used for recording from screen + camera + audio. It can be used to record a video conference. In this case you will need to follow the instructions from this video to capture audio. Tested and it works fine.

ScreenFlow

This software works only for Mac. The free trial is unlimited in time but the movies exported are watermarked.

Adobe Express Screen recording

The free trial for 30 days does not add any watermark and seems easy to work with.

iPad

Explain everything

Det koster 59 kr om måneden at bruge alle funktioner i programmet, men det virker fint og er ret nemt at gå til. Man taler over nogle slides og man kan skrive på dem undervejs. Man kan optage én side ad gangen og efterfølgende redigere i det.
