This free and open-source screen recording software is incredibly useful. It implements most of the features from http://screen.studio, built on top of OpenScreen for secondary development. I tried it and it’s very smooth. Compared to the annual subscription of over $100 for http://screen.studio, this is much better. For ordinary software testing, demos, and product promotion that don’t require high-end features, it’s more than sufficient. I highly recommend it. Of course, mouse styles, click effects, etc., can be developed via plugins. The author provides a plugin marketplace with strong extensibility, and you can even directly modify the code or use Codex to build your own custom screen recorder. https://github.com/webadderallorg/Recordly…
