How to record video

With Aimersoft Video Suite, you can record Full HD computer screens. The screen recorder function can capture every detail of your computer screen and save the video as MP4, AVI, or FLV. Before recording, this software allows you to preset the webcam for Picture-in-Picture recording and microphone for voice overlays.

Part 1. How to record computer screen on Windows

Install and run Aimersoft Video Suite for Windows version and then tap the Screen Recorder tab on the home window.

You’ll see three functions on the next window; Screen Recorder, Webcam Recorder, and Audio Recorder. In that case, click the Screen Recorder tool.

Do you want to screen-record the entire display or only a section of it? Well, long-press and drag the recording frame to fit a capture area. Alternatively, tap the Recording Mode menu and choose Custom or Full Screen. Select the former if you want to capture specific video frame dimensions (Width and Height). But whichever recording mode you select, tap Lock Aspect Ratio.

First of all, tap the Audio drop-down menu and choose a sound output device for capturing the system sounds. After that, click the Microphone menu to select a sound input device for adding voice narrations. Further, tap the Webcam icon and then choose a camera for recording a picture-in-picture effect.

Another way to compress a video is to change the settings of each video, although this might be time-consuming. In this case, click the Settings icon and drag the percentage icon to reduce the file size as depicted on the graph. Alternatively, open the Resolution menu and choose lower video quality. You can also adjust the Bitrate and Format before clicking Preview to crosscheck the video. Press Ok to proceed.

After adjusting settings, launch the screen activity to capture and then tap REC. Use the three-second countdown to prepare the recording window appropriately.

Now launch the recording taskbar. You’ll see tools for pausing and stopping the recording session, enabling/disabling devices, taking JPG screenshots, and applying annotations. Anyway, tap the Stop icon to finish recording the video.

Next, long-press and drag the edges of the recording frame to fill a capture area. Alternatively, click the Recording Mode menu and select Full Screen or Custom. Nonetheless, tap Lock Aspect Ratio to the best outputs.

Begin by tapping the drop-down arrow below the Audio icon to select a sound output device for recording the system sounds. Then, proceed to click the Microphone menu to set a sound input device for applying voice narrations. Lastly, press the Webcam icon and select a facecam to add a picture-in-picture effect.

Click the red REC button to start recording. When you’re done recording, click the Stop button to wrap up the video recording session.
