Alternatives to keycastr7/6/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() iShowU allows for a flexible recording area, multiple audio inputs and mouse click visualization. Because it encodes as you're recording, you have to determine your final output format before you start, and if you should happen to change your mind. There's no up-res for an H.264 320x240 video. Screenflick has a beautiful interface, at least by my aforementioned conformist standards. It gets non-conformist in creative and endearing ways, such as the film-style countdown before a delayed recording. It offers the option to display the recording length and consequent file size in the menubar. I especially like that Screenflick records uncompressed and at full resolution, allowing for multiple output formats from one source file and reducing overhead during the actual recording. Of course, you pay at the other end with long encode times, but that's when you go off and celebrate your Oscar-winning performance (what, you didn't know about the new category?). Screenflick also provides a library of your recordings in their original format, so you can go back and output with different dimensions and compression settings later. Yes, colors for left/right mouse, configurable shortcut display w/exceptions list And, to top it all off, Screenflick has great keyboard and mouse callouts, making it a very smooth operator at the $29 price level. Screen Mimic follows Screenflick's modus operandi and steps it up a little, recording everything up front and sorting it out later, including mouse clicks, keystrokes, et cetera. Screen Mimic can output to SWF, FLV, QuickTime and its own proprietary archive format. It comes the closest to allowing editing out of the apps we've looked at so far, but really only allows configurable transitions between segments (where you hit "Pause"). There's no linear editing within the application. ![]()
