Wondershare Filmora Scrn Screen Recording Software for Windows

If you’re on Windows and want to capture your screen, you can use the built-in tool in Windows 10 but it has a lot of limitations. That tool is actually a part of the Xbox app and used to record gameplay; So, it has just some basic functions and it’s not suitable for professional purposes.

Nowadays, there are plenty of screen recording software available on the market for different recording needs. Among them, the Wondershare Filmora Scrn is a much more powerful software with some advanced features, but you’ll have to pay for it. Let’s check out to see if it’s worth the money.

Features

The most notable features of the software are the frame rate of up to 120fps, recording the screen and webcam simultaneously, full editing tools, and effect tools. If you’ve already used a previous version of the software, the new Scrn 2.0 version has pretty much the same features like high frame rate, recording system audio, microphone, screen, and webcam, annotations, picture-in-picture, overlays, and cursor effects. Besides, Wondershare also introduces some new features as listed below:

• Recording primary and secondary displays

If you record gameplay, you will find the software useful because it has a much higher frame rate – up to 120fps on Windows or 60fps on MacOS. You can also record the webcam at the same time and add it to your video. Unlike the Windows 10’s tool, you can adjust the size, shape, and color of the cursor so that viewers can easily see it. They also provide some basic editing tools so that you can edit the video quickly before publishing it to video streaming sites.

The software is not just used to record gameplay, you can use it to record any activity on your computer, so you can do tutorials or make software review videos.
