Movavi Screen Recorder

• The free download is a trial: it runs for 7 days and adds a watermark to output videos.
• It runs on 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 and on macOS only; no Linux or mobile version is listed.

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.

Movavi Screen Recorder

Screen and audio capture

Records the full screen or a custom area together with system audio and your voice, in up to 4K. Used for calls, webinars, online courses and software demos.

Webcam overlay and drawing

Overlays a webcam video on the screencast and lets you draw pointers and shapes on the recording while it is in progress.

Cursor and keystroke highlighting

Highlights the mouse cursor, clicks and keystrokes so viewers of a tutorial can follow which keys and buttons were pressed.

Recording scheduler

Set the date and time for a capture to start and finish, so a webinar or stream is recorded while you are away from the computer.

Scrolling screenshots

Captures content that does not fit on one screen as a single scrolling screenshot, alongside ordinary screenshots taken during a recording.

AI noise reduction and trimming

Reduces background sounds while recording, and a built-in editor trims the result. Fuller editing comes from the separate Movavi Video Editor.
