Free Screen Recorder X

Whether you want to create a tutorial or simply need to share a video of your screen, an application such as Free Screen Recorder X can make it easy to capture everything that is going on any of your computer’s monitors. With a minimalist look and a real-time preview area, this application can record desktop actions in both video and audio format.

The purpose of Free Screen Recorder X is to offer a tool that leaves aside unwanted complexity and functions, preserving basic recording tools to help you capture videos easily and fast. This is clearly the main reason why there are no menus and so few configuration options to deal with. What is more, they are all located within the main user-friendly window.

The GUI is split into two separate panels. While one is dedicated to customizing the recording options, the other is a generous preview area where you can see the recording in real time.

Talking about the configuration options, one must say that there are no complicated settings to deal with. They are neatly organized in three categories, namely video, audio and general options, each with a few drop-down menus, fill-in forms or check boxes, to make it all easier.

The recording quality is customizable, but keep in mind that you only have four options: low, medium, high and original quality. It is also possible to record uncompressed videos.

Free Screen Recorder X can capture any of the monitors your computer is equipped with, but you can also configure it to record both screens or just a specific, custom area. To avoid cluttering the video, both the taskbar and the mouse cursor can be hidden during the recording.

Relying on the power of FFmpeg, Free Screen Recorder X provides an open-source application ready to help you capture the screen activity and save the video locally. You can record multiple screens or custom areas and conceal the mouse cursor and the taskbar to obtain a professional-looking clip.
