Wondershare DemoCreator

• The free trial version watermarks exports and limits each recording to 5 minutes, at 1080p and 30 FPS.

• The Visual Assets effects library is sold separately: a 7-day free trial, then $15.99 a month.

Bandicam

Screen recording modes

Record the full screen, a chosen area or a single window with its own audio, across multiple monitors if needed. Recordings can start and stop on a schedule.

Game recording

A game mode detects the running DirectX, OpenGL or Vulkan game, records it with your voice and can show frames per second while recording.

Webcam and device capture

Overlay a webcam on the screen recording, or capture webcams, smartphones, consoles and other external devices. AI can remove, blur or replace the webcam background.

AI transcription

Transcribes recordings and audio files into text that can be saved as subtitles or a text file. The free version shows only part of the transcript.

Editing, drawing and Smart Zoom

Trim a recording right after capture, draw arrows, shapes and text while recording, and let Smart Zoom zoom in and out automatically around mouse clicks.

Audio recording

Record computer sound and the microphone without the screen, save as MP3 or WAV, and trim the result on a waveform view.

Wondershare DemoCreator

Six recording modes

Screen, game, camera, audio, virtual avatar and video presentation modes. Screen, webcam, microphone and system audio are captured on separate tracks for editing.

4K and 120 FPS capture

Paid plans record and export at up to 4K UHD and 120 FPS, with a dedicated game recorder. The trial version is capped at 1080p and 30 FPS.

Built-in video editor

Cut, crop and merge recordings, then add annotations, cursor effects, pan and zoom, layout templates and animated subtitles without leaving the app.

AI tools paid with credits

Auto subtitles in over 90 languages, text-based editing, an AI teleprompter, text-to-speech and a clips generator all draw on AI credits. Subscriptions include 500 a month.

Audio cleanup

AI Denoise removes background noise, and a vocal remover and speech enhancement are included alongside noise reduction and a voice changer.

Cloud sharing and online recorder

Upload to DemoCreator Cloud and share a link with a password and an expiry date. Subscriptions also remove the 10-minute cap on the Chrome extension recorder.
