 PQ> I'm not really sure but I think that effect is a side-effect of

What I find more annoying are the how-to videos that show a static screen for
the first 5-10 minutes *before* they actually DO anything or before they show

A little inset showing the person talking would be better than nothing.


 AA>> I would like to produce basic ones to help guide some friends with
 AA>> some computer help. But the better products all seem to require a
 AA>> payout.


 PQ> Ah.  What I was using for plain downloading and what would suit that
 PQ> task is a tool called SimpleScreenRecorder.  (All one word.) It's a

In the meantime, I learned about Captura and OBS, both for Windows.
