Options

Record audio

 Default = Record sound while you create your video.

 Do not record sound.

Quick capture

 Optimise recording activities with lots of cursor movement over large, static areas.

 Default = Do not optimise.

Capture mouse pointer

 Default = Record cursor movements in your video.

Capture layered windows

Layered windows are used by applications to create translucent windows. For example, the translucent image that appears when you drag and drop an icon on your desktop.

 Record applications that use layered windows. Capturing layered windows can cause the cursor to flash when recording. This effect will not, however, appear in the actual video file.

 Default = Do not capture layered windows.

Disable hardware acceleration during recording

Hardware acceleration improves the performance of 3D graphics on your computer but can adversely affect the performance of the screen recorder.

 Default = Allow ActivInspire to switch off hardware acceleration at the start of the recording and restore it upon completion of the recording.

 Keep hardware acceleration switched on.

 Hide the Screen Recorder toolbox at the start of each new recording. When the toolbox is hidden, stop the recording by clicking the Screen Recorder icon.
