Configuring your screen settings
Screen settings are set to the highest quality available by default, so you can just start recording. If you would like to change the screen or other screen settings, perform the following steps:
To configure your Screen Settings as the Primary Input
- If you want the screen to be the primary input, click on the Settings icon.
- Scroll down and select Set as Primary.
- Select the screen you are going to record from the Input Source drop-down menu. If there is more than one screen connected to your PC, select the screen you would like to record. If you are recording from multiple screens, you can click on Identify to indicate which screen is the active screen.
- The optimal screen settings are defined for you automatically however, if you want to change the settings, you can change the following:
- a. Resolution: Recording of the highest quality is produced when the resolution is maximal. Selecting a lower resolution reduces the recording quality and the size of the resulting file.
b. FPS (Frames per Second). We recommend using 30 frames per second. Using less frames might result in blurring of fast movements.
c. Color Space – Represents the image in colors.
d. Encoder – Select the encoder from the dropdown menu.
e. Bitrate – Select the bitrate.
f. Encoder Profile - Select High, Main or Baseline - After completing your Screen Settings, click Back to go back to the main recording window.
The Screen settings cannot be altered in the middle of the recording.It is important to make sure all your settings are complete before you start recording.
To remove a device that is configured
- Click Remove Input.
The input source (camera or screen) will not be able to be used to record media. The device is not deleted and may be used as a source for another input.
