What to consider when choosing video capture software

To save yourself money and storage, it’s worth finding all-in-one video capture software that covers everything you need. Look for software that records your screen, video, and audio all in HD resolution. Make sure you can download these recordings in separate tracks for more post-production flexibility. For the best video resolution, choose software with local recording. Local recording technology captures everything directly on your device so you don't need to worry over internet connectivity issues getting in the way of professional quality. 

With high-quality recording software, you’ll have less editing to do, but we still recommend your video capture software comes with tools to fully polish your recordings. Choose software with automatic editing tools that help you fine-tune and customize your video. A clip creator could also help if you’re looking to create short shareable content. Lastly, check out video file formats to make sure it's compatible with what you need. MP4 videos are common and are generally accepted on social media platforms.
