What is Movavi Screen Recorder?<\/h2>\n

As its name suggests, this app helps you record activities on your PC, both Windows, and Mac.<\/p>\n

Movavi Screen Recorder is also capable of capturing screenshots<\/a>, recording screencasts, grabbing audio and video from the recording, drawing (annotation) on videos, and many other useful features.<\/p>\n

After installing, I\u2019m immediately greeted by a widget. The widget is non-intrusive and sits nicely on the right-hand side of my screen by default.<\/p>\n

But this can be dragged almost on any side of your screen, top, left, right, bottom (yes, even on top of the taskbar).<\/p>\n

You can even have it as a notch at the center of your monitor. And when you click on it, the widget expands to show you its main features.<\/p>\n

Movavi Screen Recorder\u2019s Features<\/h2>\n

As evidenced by the introduction and the app\u2019s name, the main purpose of Movavi Screen Recorder is to, well, record screens. But there\u2019s more to it than just recording your screen.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s explore the features.<\/p>\n

1. Screencasting<\/h3>\n
\"screencasting\"<\/figure>\n

Unlike other popular screen recorders like Loom<\/a>, Movavi will not ask you which window, application, or monitor you want to record or take a screenshot of. You can control this by simply moving your cursor around.<\/p>\n

If you move your cursor to the outer part of your screen or close to the edges, it will detect that you wish to record the entire screen. Otherwise, it will only capture the window you\u2019re pointing at like on the screenshot above.<\/p>\n

And if you want to record another screen, supposing you have multiple screens, simply move the cursor to the other monitor and start recording.<\/p>\n

2. Draw on Videos<\/h3>\n
\"annotate<\/figure>\n

Yes, you can doodle while you\u2019re recording which is a feature that I absolutely love. Movavi even has built-in shapes, lines, and colors to choose from. I can see how this can be really important for people who prefer to speak their thoughts out, especially for the more visual folks out there.<\/p>\n

3. Simple Editing<\/h3>\n
\"simple<\/figure>\n

When I say simple, I really mean simple. It only allows for trimming your videos. But unlike other editors that only allow you to trim a section you would like to save, Movavi allows users to trim off parts of the video directly.<\/p>\n

4. Online Meeting Recording<\/h3>\n

One of the pet peeves of people who hop on Google or Zoom meetings is that when it\u2019s time to record, sometimes the screen recording software they are using only records their own voice and not the other participants. This is because some recording apps do not support recording system sounds.<\/p>\n

For example, if you are using your AirPods or any other earphones, you will only hear your colleagues through your earphones, but the recorder won\u2019t. In this case, Movavi Screen Recorder wins since it supports this very thing.<\/p>\n

5. Screenshot<\/h3>\n

What I like about its screenshot function is it zooms in down to the pixel so you can crop and take accurate screenshots of the sections you want to save. It\u2019s difficult to explain so take a look at the image below.<\/p>\n

\"screenshot\"<\/figure>\n

From the crosshair, it will show you exactly where you are at down to the pixel, which is a very nifty function to have. And at the same time, it will measure the size of the window and element you are currently on. Let me show you what I mean:<\/p>\n

\"crosshair\"<\/figure>\n

In the screenshot above, it automatically measured the size of the canvas.<\/p>\n

And in the screenshot below, it goes a little bit more granular. It measured just a single element\/box.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not entirely sure how this feature can be utilized, but I can imagine that a lot of creatives out there will find it useful.<\/p>\n

Price of Movavi Screen Recorder<\/h2>\n

Movavi does not have a free tier, but its pricing is pretty much straightforward and actually affordable.<\/p>\n

\"price<\/figure>\n

The Yearly plan<\/em> (only yearly, no monthly) costs $42.95\/year, while the Lifetime plan<\/em> is only $57.95 one-time. The Video Suite plan<\/em> is $94.95. Each license would only work on 1 workstation.<\/p>\n

I tried comparing the pricing to my local currency, Japanese Yen, and found out that if I purchase using Yen, it would end up cheaper.<\/p>\n
