Atomi Active Presenter

Bottom line up front: Everyone needs some type of video capture software.

 

There are a lot of screen capture programs and utilities out there and each one has it'd pros and cons.

There are so many in fact that I've debated running something of a comparison in order to highlight some of the options.

But... since such a comparison will take considerable time and a lot of information is already available via a quick google... for now I'll just point to yet another of the options.

 

Atomi Active Presenter is a program that I don't recall highlighting and it is one of the more powerful ones out there because in addition to screen/video capture it also has some basic video editing capability that isn't seen in other free capturing software. In my estimation it fits in just below Camtasia with regard to capabilities and in some areas outperforms there also. The caveat is that to get to those additional features users have to opt for 'standard' or 'professional' editions ($199 and $299 respectively). The primary differences between free and paid versions is export capability where video presentations can be immediately exported to a variety of document formats (PDF, DOC, XLS, PPT, etc).

 

The free version of Active Presenter is more than useful and for those without video capture capability it will be well worth looking into.

If you are looking for a good video capture software definitely check it out:

Of course with any software that has tiered releases (i.e. hobble-ware) it can be frustrating to look at grayed icons for features that aren't activated in your particular tier. Active Presenter is very useful without these additional features but if such things frustrate or aggravate it may be best to move on to other options.

 

Other options?
