How To Record Screen And Edit Recorded Videos With ActivePresenter

There are a larger number of screen recording tools (also called screencasting tools) out there. Basically, the simplest screen recorders just capture what’s happening on the screen, and allow you to save recorded videos in the common formats like MP4. Besides, there are also a few screencasting tools having some basic video editing options but watermarks added to the output videos.

However, when technology advances and user demands are on the rise, an application with just the facility for recording screen seems to be not enough. You may need a full-featured application which supports the capabilities to record screen, change the volume, adjust the speed, and insert background music into recorded videos, etc.

Then, here is the solution to meet all your requirements: ActivePresenter. This is a screen recording, video editing, and eLearning authoring tool with a large variety of powerful features, helping you to capture screen and edit captured videos in a matter of minutes. More importantly, ActivePresenter free version provides full access to all video editing features, and you can edit videos without time limit, watermarks, and pop-up ads.

Still not convinced? So, let’s take a closer look at how you can both record screen and edit recorded videos just using ActivePresenter.
