・Table of Contents I tried using the "recording" function that allows you to easily record your PC screen and webcam video I tried "Easy iPhone/iPad screen capture"◆The purchase and initial setting method is like this◆You can easily record PC screens and webcam images with "Recording I tried using the functionThe installation method itself will be described later◆The purchase and initial setting method is like this, so this time I will actually start VideoProc Converter and use the recording function. I will try using it. At the first startup, hardware information will be automatically detected, so click "Next".

VideoProc Converter will automatically detect your PC's configuration and perform optimal recording settings for each PC. Therefore, the initial setting is completed simply by clicking "Process video with Level-3 acceleration technology" as it is without changing the details of the screen. As soon as the initial settings are completed, a page explaining What is hardware acceleration? will be displayed on the browser.

VideoProc Converter's home screen looks something like this, you can download and save videos such as "Video" for converting and simple editing of videos, "DVD" for DVD ripping, YouTube, Nico Nico Douga, TikTok, etc. There are "Download" and "Record" buttons that allow you to easily record your PC screen and webcam.

This time, I will focus on "recording". Each element on the recording screen is "1: Recording mode selection button", "2: Preview screen", "3: Setting area such as visual information", "4: Recorded video management panel", "5: Capture range setting area" ' ' 6: Recording setting area ' ' 7: Recording button ', and recording is completed only on this screen, so it is very simple to use.

The recording mode includes "screen recording" to record the screen displayed on the display, "camera recording" to record webcam video, and "screen recording & camera recording" to record screen and camera at the same time. "There are three, and at first I will try using "Screen recording".

In the screen recording, the capture range is displayed in the preview part. In the following case, VideoProc Converter itself is included in the capture range, so an image like a mirror is displayed, but when recording starts, the VideoProc Converter window is automatically hidden and the mirror state is canceled. So this is OK.

Click "Crop" if you want to record a part of the screen, such as a specific window.

After that, you can specify the capture range by clicking the window on the PC screen. At this time, the blue frame that appears on the screen indicates the capture range.

Even if there is a gap in the capture range, you can fine-tune the range by dragging the blue frame itself.

After specifying the capture range, click the check mark displayed in the center of the range to complete the crop setting.

The next step is to configure the recording settings. The speaker icon is the recording setting for the sound played on the PC, and the microphone icon is the recording setting for the sound captured from outside the PC such as a microphone or webcam. For example, if you check the speaker icon and uncheck the microphone icon, the sound played on the PC such as game sound will be recorded, but the sound imported from the outside such as your own voice will not be recorded. increase.

By clicking each setting, you can also specify the device to be captured.

After completing the recording settings, click "REC" at the bottom right...

After a 5 second countdown, recording will begin.

Recording can be stopped by pressing "REC" again or by pressing the shortcut key set to "CTRL + ALT + SHIFT + R" by default. The recorded video will be displayed in the admin panel.

In the management panel, you can play the recorded video in the preview part by clicking the play icon in the thumbnail ......

By clicking the folder icon, you can directly open the folder where the recorded video is saved, or you can delete the recorded video with the trash can icon.

Next, let's try "camera recording" that allows you to record webcam video. When you click "Camera recording", the image of the webcam is displayed in the preview part, but all other settings and recording start methods are the same as the operation method for "screen recording". However, unlike "screen recording", it is impossible to specify the capture range (crop), and there is no 5-second countdown at the start of recording.

When using "camera recording", you can turn off the background of the specified color by checking "Erase the background of camera recording" on the right side of the screen. However, it didn't work with a very common white background, no matter how much you tweaked the various settings, so if you want to cleanly erase the background, you need a green screen like the one used in Chromakey . .

Finally, try "screen recording & camera recording" to perform screen recording and camera recording at the same time. When you click it, two options will appear: 'Display the camera screen while recording the screen' and 'Display the screen screen while recording the camera'.

"Display the camera screen while recording the screen" mainly displays the video captured from the PC, and the video captured from the webcam is displayed in a small picture-in-picture format window. increase.

"Display the screen screen while recording the camera" is the opposite, the video captured from the webcam is the main and the video captured from the webcam is the sub.

The position of the sub image can be adjusted by dragging the frame, and the size can be adjusted by dragging the frame itself.

Actually, the video recorded with "Display the camera screen while recording the screen" looks something like this, and you can record gameplay etc. while displaying the selfie video as a small window. Once set, it is very easy to record in the same way just by clicking "REC".

For detailed settings related to recording, click "Settings" from the gear icon ...

◆I tried "Simple iPhone & iPad Screen Capture" for MacNext, I will try "iPhone & iPad Screen Capture". It is possible to capture the screen of iPhone & iPad in the Windows version, but it is necessary to have software such as LonelyScreen that outputs the screen of the Apple device to the Windows side, so there is no need for such software at all. I'll try it on the Mac version. When you run "Recording" from the home screen, the options "iPhone" that did not exist in the Windows version are increasing. In addition, although it seems that "screen recording & camera recording" has disappeared, in fact, when you click "camera recording", it will be displayed as an option, so due to the layout, "screen recording & camera recording" and "camera recording" The feeling that "recording" has been integrated.

After that, you can record by simply specifying the audio to be captured and clicking "REC".

In particular, in the "Toolbox" of "Video", you can load videos by dragging and dropping them and perform simple editing such as "merging" and "trimming". Although you can't do detailed editing like you can with VideoProc Vlogger, such as applying effects or adjusting the playback speed, the minimum editing functions are covered.

Each function of "Video" is also intuitive and easy to handle, for example, "Trimming" is OK just by specifying the seek bar to exclude the unnecessary range and clicking "Done".

By combining the videos that have been trimmed to remove unnecessary parts, you can complete a movie that summarizes the main points.

Also, in "Download", enter the URL of the movie you want to download in the input field, click "Analyze", select the resolution and click "Download selected movie" to save your favorite movie.
