And Llama 3.1 Sonar (from Perplexity.ai) ideas for Screenshot tools for artists:

– Virtual Art Demonstrations: Teams can use screen recording tools to create high-quality, step-by-step tutorials on how to use specific screenshot tools. These recordings can be shared with artists who are new to the software, allowing them to learn at their own pace and refer back to the demonstrations as needed.

– Async Feedback Sessions: Screen recording tools can be used to record feedback sessions where team members discuss specific features or bugs in the screenshot tool. This recorded feedback can then be shared with the development team asynchronously, ensuring that all points are captured and addressed.

– External Demos for Clients: When pitching new features or services to potential clients, teams can create professional screen recordings that showcase the capabilities of their screenshot tools. These demos can be shared via email or embedded in presentations, providing a clear and compelling visual representation of what the software offers.

– Training Modules for New Hires: To onboard new team members quickly and efficiently, screen recording tools can be used to create comprehensive training modules. These modules can cover everything from basic navigation to advanced features, ensuring that new hires have a solid foundation from day one.

– User Testimonials and Success Stories: Teams can use screen recording tools to capture real-time user testimonials and success stories. By recording artists using the software and achieving their goals, teams can create powerful marketing content that highlights the effectiveness and user-friendliness of their screenshot tools.

For my personal experience working by myself and with a team, my recommendations for screen recording tools are:

Focusee – Local, Fast, One Time Pricing

I love this one since it’s all local (no web UI), they have Mac and Windows versions, and the zooming is pretty solid. I’ve used this to record 50+ videos now, and it took my editing time to near-zero.

Yes, this is ranked above Screen Studio for me. If you’re a team with Mixed devices (Windows + Macs), or work with freelancers, it’s challenging to have the Screenstudio limitation of 1 operating system. Focusee avoids that problem. (But, the file formats seem to differ when saved on Windows vs. Mac.)

My fav 3 things:

I can change how my cursor looks after recording
I can make simple cuts/timeline editing is not bloated
Backgrounds can be swapped.

Tella.tv – Online Cinematic Screen Recording

1 word – ANIMATED BACKGROUNDS. (ok, that was 2 words.) This really takes any screen recording to the next level imho.

Right out of the box, you can make the most eye catching screen recording online. Everything can be handled with their Web UI (no app downloads needed). You can download their Mac app if needed.

It’s just simple – Press record, swap out background, and change layouts as needed. Imo, best SaaS option for screen capture.

Check out their free trial here.

My favourite 3 features:

Team editing (fast) – No uploads/downloads needed to edit
Animated backgrounds/screen borders
Layout transitions are gorgeous out of the box.

Screen Studio – The Classic Screen Recorder

I’ve followed Screenstudio for a long time, and many many creators I follow use it. They have a sleek website and the product UI is pretty solid, but compared to Tella, I’m not sure it wins for team usage. (Need to upload/store the .screenstudio files somewhere.)

If your whole team is on Mac, and you have a solid filesharing/media library, it’s a great choice.

The upside? Tella costs monthly, ScreenStudio costs one time. (with 1 year of updates.)
