Chief Relationship Architect Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Most Robust Screen Recording Software " April 10, 2021 5.0 My goal was to create high-resolution demo videos and sales and marketing video messages that had a professional flair to them. As one of my colleagues pointed out some months ago the first versions were "high school level projects" which was a bit of a buzzkill, to say the least. Once I started using Movavi the productions received wide praise and accolades from my constituents, clients, and investors. They were all impressed thinking I was dottering about for hours and hours building these videos of clips and demos etc. If only they knew I was spending minutes - LOL Pros Set-up is super easy. The quality of the recordings is magnificent. In fact, I have recorded live webinars and the recording is clearer and higher definition than the live event itself. Image Capture is also extremely high quality too. (\*\*\*Please note I was using Awesome Screenshot (free version as a Chrome Plugin) and using image capture on my mac using the hotkeys prior to using Movavi. The quality of both of these products, was good enough, was not anywhere near go to market, pro-quality level. Movavi is really great and EAAAASSSYYYY. I can record a webinar or snippets of a webinar or snippets of any video source really and capture the audio and video perfectly and easily. I can change the recordable part of the screen by just clicking and dragging the recordable area. It's a snap! Cons I have the basic Screen recorder version and that suits my needs perfectly. There are 6 different versions of the software depending on what you want to do with it ranging in price from $26 to $80 for a lifetime license and 3 downloads onto 3 different devices. I think for sales and marketing folks you have pretty much everything you would need to easily record and capture video and images from the web. I use iMovie to edit clips etc. vs. paying extra for the video suite - a full license that includes everything. Alternatives considered [OBS Studio](https://www.capterra.com/p/164144/OBS/)[Camtasia](https://www.capterra.com/p/203013/Camtasia/)[Screen Recorder Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/203012/Screen-Recorder-Pro/) Reason for choosing Movavi Screen Recorder Bar-none the easiest to use, easiest to set up. I have literally ZERO tolerance and patience for anything these days. If it doesn't work right away and easily without me having to google or youtube how to do it I am moving on in an instant. Movavi was the fourth one I checked out and was SO easy to use it was a no-brainer. Review Source Angela P. Career Coach, Counselor and Art-Therapist Human Resources Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Producing video tutorials is quick and easy." April 24, 2022 5.0 My clients are happy to have an attentive service from me, and I am happy to have the ideal tool to contribute. Pros I am a career coach, and part of my job requires me to give instructions and information about job search. Among the materials, I also create video tutorials specifically for my clients. Movavi Screen Recorder makes it easy, and I'm satisfied with the overall quality. There are no technical difficulties, even for beginners. The software is lightweight, and the options are quick to set up. I can capture the screen and my instructions with the webcam and utilize a pointer to highlight relevant stuff. Later, I can also edit a little bit if I need. Cons I don't think there are missing features or anything that needs improvement. At least for the use that I do, it's perfect. I use the paid version. The software is frequently updated. It's a point of strength, but every time one has to pay when it comes to major updates. Maybe it's the only downside. Review Source Greg R.

What kind of company won’t respond to you when you want to give them money? Pros Fairly easy to use but I ended up cancelling my service and going back to my prior service when they wouldn’t respond to me. Cons Terrible customer service. It truly baffles me how you have a good product and choose to ignore your customers to the point where they cancel the service. Switched from [ScreenRec](https://www.capterra.com/p/234229/ScreenRec/) Thought it would a better product but I was wrong. Review Source jason E. Junior Sales Executive Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Movavi Screen Recorder review-2021" June 16, 2021 5.0 This tool is somehow preferable to other video screen capture tools in terms of accuracy and productivity. In my personal preference, I will recommend it for YouTube content creators. Pros \-Supports 48KHz Stereo audio quality which is just perfect for vocal processing -Has a variety of colors available for cursor recognition during screen recording -Supports super speed conversion- This feature is just super useful especially when I'm in a hurry or when my PC is a little slow. Turning on this feature is just like sending a +48v across tracks in a mixer. . -I can upload my recordings directly to Youtube or save them on Drive. This saves time and helps store and recover my content in case of any lost -Available in different languages. -Supports both screen capture and screenshots with extra features like the highlighter, arrow, text, and frame options to specify certain emphasis on CTA sections of content. -Friendly user interface -Quality customer support services -There is a possibility to directly edit the video after capture. Cons Displays a horizontal metric arrow for screen resolution selection before recording- This feature is sometimes annoying. Could display this suggestion in a more basic way. - Automatically crashes sometimes. -With a screen resolution of 2180 by 1024, the quality of the video (pixels) becomes a sort of mosaic.

" August 31, 2021 4.0 Overall experience is perfect. The screen recording looks clear and the formats to export are the ones I need. I recommend this software a lot! Pros Movavi Screen Recorder is a really cool option to record the screen on Windows. I used mostly to record video tutorials and training videos for my clients. It's really easy to use! I like the feature to program a screen recording, you can set date and time. You can use this software to record the audio only of the pc too, which is really useful. Cons The audio will sometimes lag, even on the best pc's. Price is really expensive.

July 29, 2021 5.0 When a leading screen-cap software I was using went paws-up, I needed a solution fast. I went to Movavi because I had had a very good experience with other video software of theirs. I ended up thrilled! I will not be going back to the other guys. This software works beautifully for a fraction of the price. Don't stew about it -- I recommend you simply buy MSR and see for yourself. Pros Competent performance, ease of use, and low cost. This software was easy to install and intuitive to use. Cons The lack of some robust features was obvious, but I don't use those features, so who cares? If you don't need a space shuttle cockpit full of editing features, then why pay that much more for screen cap? Review Source Aris G. Web Developer Consumer Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Movavi simple and lite recorder" January 15, 2021 5.0 We mainly suggest and use Movavi with customers on limited network access that face problems and need to record it and send it to us or if the problem is not presenting at a specific time and needs to be recorded. Pros Movavi Screen Recorder has Youtube and Google Drive integration, this helps when recording live events or live tutorials, because they can be uploaded immediately. Then you can open it in the Video Editor, that is if you have installed the Video Suite. Before sharing it to platforms or saving it locally you can easily cut the video selecting a start time and end time. You can capture webcam too and select in which position of the video will appear. The cool thing is that you can schedule a recoding and set a duration of the recording, as well as an action after completing recording e.g. sleep or shutdown. Cons There are limited video and file settings and you can't record multiple windows or screens at the same time.

Pros I love how easy it is to start screen recording and create training content for my staff. I have only needed the full screen capture but appreciate that I could select a smaller window/area if needed. I love that I can pause the video and unpause easily to avoid having long pauses on the video while a program is loading. Cons I don't think there is anything that this program lacks in regards to our use of it. Reason for choosing Movavi Screen Recorder We were recommended this program by a coach.

Pros Quite easy to use. But the file size too big. I bought this product with a life-time license other a yearly subscription (cheaper than the former one). However they actually upgrade it every year and give the upgraded up a new name like 2021 or 2022. So the "life-time "license actually gets expired after one year. You'll have to buy it again.

It is very user-friendly and it took me less than 2 hours to fully hand over my work and explain everything about this tool to a fellow employee and now he is doing everything that I used to do. The only draw-back is that we cannot upgrade the product unless we pay and it's a license for 1 user only so I had to uninstall everything handed it over to my colleague and moved on to do other stuff. Pros We can use multiple features to enhance the user experience of our viewers and make a high-quality videos with ease.
