I\u2019ve tried and tested different programs\u00a0over the past few years, and here are my <strong>top three recommendations for different budgets<\/strong>. I&#8217;ve also included some free options, but in my experience, these all tend to lack one or two essential tools.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"1-adobe-captivate\"><strong>1. Adobe Captivate<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fLZe4tTTvqs?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.adobe.com\/products\/captivate.html\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Adobe Captivate<\/a> is an authoring tool <strong>designed\u00a0for users creating e-learning content<\/strong>. It\u2019s incredibly powerful, but it is the most expensive of the options\u00a0on this list at $1,099 for a full license \u2014 or you can purchase the subscription service for a more affordable monthly cost of $29.99. However, you are locked into a yearly contract of $29.99. Like the Adobe CC subscription plan, you can terminate the contract early by paying a cancellation fee.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for software dedicated solely to\u00a0screencasting, then skip down to options 2 and 3. However, if your business creates a <strong>wider range of e-learning products<\/strong>, this may be the option for you. Captivate has all of the standard features you would expect from a <strong>premium screencast package<\/strong>. It offers enhanced mouse movement and keyboard activity, system audio, and other options. The beauty of Captivate is its support for\u00a0responsive design. Captivate automatically detects the screen activity and will pan to that specific area if the user is using a tablet or mobile device.<\/p>\n<p>Captivate also offers all of the features of the\u00a0other screencasting programs on this list.<\/p>\n<p>Favorite features:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Roundtrip with most Adobe CC applications.<\/li>\n<li>iOS device capture.<\/li>\n<li>Responsive screencast.<\/li>\n<li>Familiar UI.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For: The e-learning professional.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, Adobe Captivate is <strong>top-of-the-line\u00a0screencast software<\/strong>. If you just want to record tutorials for your online audience, you might be better off with something a little less expensive. If you\u2019re creating online pay-per-use training content and want an abundance of additional features, Adobe Captivate is for you.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"2-camtasia-studio\"><strong>2. Camtasia Studio<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UGzYeh5lp54?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>(Bonus points if you <\/em>recognize<em> the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/royalty_free_music\/songs\/we-re-taking-off\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">audio track<\/a>!)\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/camtasia-studio.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Camtasia Studio<\/a> is currently my <strong>go-to screen capture software<\/strong>. I\u2019ve been using it for a few years now, and honestly, you can\u2019t ask for a more dedicated program. I sometimes read that &#8220;Camtasia has a steep learning curve,&#8221; but I don&#8217;t know\u00a0where this statement comes from. Camtasia offers\u00a0a <strong>simple UI that editors familiar with\u00a0any NLE can use very easily<\/strong>. The screen recorder includes a customizable panel where\u00a0you can choose what area of your screen to record.<\/p>\n<p>At one point in time, Camtasia was a secondary tool to augment your NLE. I know many would capture their screen, render the file, and import the video clip into their NLE for final touches. Now, Camtasia has become an <strong>all-in-one tool<\/strong>\u00a0to produce and finish a video. From <strong>animations to chroma keying<\/strong>, it has more or less everything.<\/p>\n<p>With a $199 one-off license fee, it certainly is something that you should look into if you create online instructional content.<\/p>\n<p>Favorite features:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mouse Cursor Effects<\/li>\n<li>Add webcam video to screen capture<\/li>\n<li>Edit at 4k<\/li>\n<li>Multitrack editing like other NLEs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Best use for: Educators and Online Tutorials<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"3-screenflow\"><strong>3. ScreenFlow<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KvvBHLpyPqM?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.telestream.net\/screenflow\/overview.htm\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">ScreenFlow<\/a> is a more affordable option at $99, but it still packs a powerful punch. Like the other options, it also\u00a0comes with a <strong>built-in video editor<\/strong>, so you don\u2019t have to cross-platform your screen capture into another NLE.<\/p>\n<p>ScreenFlow has an incredibly easy-to-use but <strong>powerful animation function<\/strong>. There\u2019s not a steep learning curve in comparison with a compositor like After Effects. As you can see in the video, the animation introduction sets\u00a0up within minutes. It\u2019s elegant and smart, and it doesn\u2019t require a textbook to learn.<\/p>\n<p>ScreenFlow is <strong>Mac-only software<\/strong>, so if you\u2019re looking for a cheap option for the PC, this isn\u2019t your solution.<\/p>\n<p>ScreenFlow can also <strong>capture recordings from an iOS device<\/strong>. This is incredibly useful if your educational content includes phone applications.<\/p>\n<p>I think the best word to describe ScreenFlow is &#8220;easy.&#8221; It\u2019s very much an A-to-B application with little to no fuss. You can even <strong>publish your screen capture straight from the software to Facebook<\/strong>, which is super cool if your audience is primarily based on your Facebook page and not YouTube.<\/p>\n<p>Favorite Features:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Professional animation features<\/li>\n<li>Simple UI<\/li>\n<li>iOS Recording<\/li>\n<li>Multiple tutorial tools<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Best use for: Beginners<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"4-quicktime\">4.

Just <strong>open the QuickTime Player<\/strong>, go to <strong>File &gt; New Screen Recording<\/strong>. You&#8217;ll see a pop-up screen capture menu, and you can\u00a0choose the area of the screen you want to capture. Select the dropdown icon next to the record button to select a microphone if you have one plugged in.<\/p>\n<p>QuickTime is great all-purpose video tool, but there are no safeguards in place if your recording becomes corrupted. If QuickTime crashes twenty minutes into your recording, you will lose everything. It&#8217;s also unable to capture copyrighted material, so if you are teaching a class and want to reference a movie clip \u2014 you won&#8217;t be able to do so in QuickTime.<\/p>\n<p>Favorite
