VSDC Free Screen Recorder

VSDC Free Screen Recorder is an efficient application that can record a custom selection of your desktop, as well as in full screen mode with customizable options for the media output.

It is fit for users who want to create a demonstration video or a presentation, being able to record both motion images and the sound stream using a regular microphone.

Typically, applications like this one also feature a built-in screen capturer that allows users to snap screenshots of the desktop, but VSDC Free Screen Recorder doesn’t. It is solely aimed at recording the screen activity.

There’s no actual interface to the program, all of the functions are comprised in the actual recording area and a couple of dialogues related to the application’s settings.

You can move the recording area to the part of the screen you wish to capture and resize it to your liking, as well as to turn it to full screen in case you want to include the whole desktop in the process.

However, before you initiate the recording process, you might want to configure a few media parameters, such as the output video format, frame rate, resolution, codec related options and the audio device for sound recording.

You can also set custom hotkeys for pausing and resuming the recording process and to select the monitor that should be recorded for systems with multiple monitors.

On an ending note, VSDC Free Screen Recorder comes across as a reliable desktop recording application, one that can create tutorials and presentations with sound. It’s a bit heavy on the system resources, to the point where you can actually feel the computer being slowed down.
