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

– Interactive Client Onboarding: Use screen recording tools to create interactive onboarding sessions for new clients. Record a step-by-step guide on how to use the consultant’s tools and services, then embed these recordings into a custom dashboard or portal where clients can access them at their own pace.

– Virtual Training Sessions: Develop comprehensive training sessions for consultants using screen recording tools. Record live sessions, add annotations, and include interactive elements like quizzes or Q&A sections. These recordings can be shared with new hires or existing team members who need to brush up on specific skills.

– Client Testimonials & Success Stories: Capture client testimonials and success stories by recording screen sessions where clients demonstrate how they’ve used the consultant’s services to achieve their goals. These recordings can be used in marketing materials, case studies, or even as part of a sales pitch.

– Async Meeting Summaries & Follow-Ups: Use screen recording tools to create detailed summaries of async meetings. Record a walkthrough of key points discussed during the meeting, including any action items or next steps. This helps ensure everyone is on the same page and provides a clear record for future reference.

– External Demos & Pitches: Create polished demos of your services using screen recording tools. Record a presentation that showcases your capabilities, including any software or tools you use. These recordings can be shared with potential clients or partners who want to see how your services work before committing to a meeting or trial period.

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.)
