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

– Virtual Event Demos: Teams can use screen recording tools to create high-quality demos of event planning software, showcasing features and functionalities to potential clients. These demos can be shared via email or embedded in websites, allowing prospects to experience the software firsthand without needing a live presentation.

– Async Meeting Summaries: After an async meeting, teams can record a quick summary of key points discussed, decisions made, and next steps. This helps ensure everyone is on the same page and provides a clear record of the meeting for future reference.

– Client Onboarding Tutorials: Screen recording tools can be used to create step-by-step tutorials for new clients. These tutorials can cover everything from setting up accounts to navigating the software’s various features. This helps new clients get started quickly and reduces the need for extensive support.

– Product Updates and Training Sessions: Regular product updates or training sessions can be recorded and shared with the team or clients. This ensures everyone stays informed about new features, improvements, or best practices without needing to attend live sessions.

– Case Studies and Testimonials: Teams can use screen recording tools to create engaging case studies or testimonials by recording real-life scenarios where the event planning software has been successfully used. These can be used in marketing materials or shared directly with potential clients to build credibility.

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.)
