Hay guys, what software is best (preferably free ware) to record your screen as video for making tutorials and such.

 

thanks

Msi afterburner, I find it is good enough for me. 

[Simfam]

Freeware?

 

Nooo idea.

 

But Fraps is really the best around.

I use Shadowplay(NVIDIA's free software, comes with Geforce Experience) and Mirillis Action!.

 

Action is a bit better i think but drops FPS even if it is only small. Or could be my imagination about FPS drop

 

Action is availible on Steam and their official site : https://mirillis.com...cts/action.html

Fraps kills my FPS over 720p. I can record with Shadowplay&Action at 1080p with little to no cost of FPS.

 

Edit: Specs i7 3770, 16 GB Ram, 2 GB AMD HD 6950 and recording to external hard drive.

Huh really?

 

Doesn't give me problems like that.

 

Even when I had GTX560.

 

@OP

 

You can try out both.

 

The free trial for fraps isn't that ideal tho'

Yeah mate, i haven't understood it aswell. It was well known after all.  But after seeing some people claim to have performance problem aswell i started my search and found Action. Then bought a GTX 770 and trying Shadowplay these days.

For Videos:

 

If you use Fraps for capturing videos, it creates Huge High Quality AVI files that for example a 10 second video takes 100MB of space. For converting it to something sensible like high quality MP4 you can use:

 

Any Video Converter Professional

^ the free version

For images:

 

In Fraps, select PNG for video games and JPG for videos and movies. If you choose JPG for video games after taking, and opening them you can see mal-pixel areas at the edge of anything (some color changes that lower the quality of image, but as a whole it doesn't have serious problem.)

 

For example, this JPG is taken by Fraps

 

But if it was a PNG it would be perfect. Indeed a PNG file can be 5-10 times bigger than a JPG. If you capture too many images you should consider which one to store as PNG or JPG.

Note: Paint in some occasions make PNG files smaller than JPGs.

FRAPS and DXTORY generally record at the highest quality and have the fewest issues. They're also quite versatile as a program like MSI Afterburner can't record desktop usage. But on the other hand, they can slow things down quite a bit. That said, Afterburner doubles as your GPU management/monitoring program so it's a very handy all-in-one solution.

 

The least taxing recorders for gaming though have to be Shadowplay and Raptr. They're developed by the GPU manufacturers (Shadowplay by Nvidia, Raptr by AMD), so they do a very good job at getting the GPU to manage the load, which really helps if you are bottlenecked by your CPU. And when recording footage, your CPU probably the greatest potential bottleneck, especially if you are on AMD CPU or a non-i7, non overclocked Intel.

 

For desktop recording, I use OBS. Very versatile program for Streaming/Recording though you'll have to fiddle around with the settings for the most effective setup.

Thanks for the Info!

I'll chime in. You could use OBS, it's free and is geared more toward streaming, but it records decently. 

 

Or at least it does for others, mine come out a bit grainy but I imagine it's something on my end.

 

EDIT: Oops, I see someone already recommended it.

OBS over here too. Tried Shadowplay, but it caused nothing but issues on my PC whenever I ran the mandatory GeForce Experience software, to the point where I had to hardware reset my PC because it had completely hung up and I am pretty sure that GeForce Experience was the culprit because I've never had such issues beforehand and as soon as I uninstalled it, everything went smoothly ever thereafter again.

 

OBS needs tinkering with settings to be good and isn't exactly plug&play software to begin with, but pretty good once you have it set up. You'll also want something to compress files if you intend to upload stuff, for that I can point you at Handbrake.
