"Great substitute for TechSmith Relay software"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Movavi Screen Recorder?

As a university instructor, I often need to utilize screen capture software (especially for the occasional online courses I teach), and Movavi offers a great substitute for TechSmith Relay. TechSmith takes much longer to process videos, and it does not -- as far as I understand -- permit users to download the files: rather, users are merely provided a link to embed the video in their learning management systems, which is to say that the files stay in TechSmith's database. In contrast, Movavi allows one to process the files himself, which is faster, and the files stay on one's own hard drive, which makes Movavi much more versatile. For instance, I can upload them to shared Google Drive files or use them on my personal academic website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Movavi Screen Recorder?

The two drawbacks I see with Movavi are that the edit options are not straightforward, and the media files are far too large. As an example of the first concern, if one wishes to trim a screen capture video, dragging the timer to the spot where one wants the video to end and pressing the scissors icon doesn't seem to be enough to trim the file: there is no button to confirm a trim and yet saving the file at this stage would save the entire, unedited version of the file. I'm still trouble-shooting this. As an example of the second concern, after testing this each minute of a screen capture seems to consist in roughly 12.5 MB, which makes these files unwieldy and less versatile. Ideally, one would be able to send these video files via email (which generally has a 25 MB limit). And even if one uses Movavi Video Converter, which allows one to compress the file, the data is still large and the quality of the video quickly declines. I tried converting a 4-minute screen capture video on the lowest video-quality conversion setting and the quality was absolutely horrendous and the file still exceeded 35 MB.

"Effective, Good, Simple & User-Friendly Screen Capture Software"
5/5
What do you like best about Movavi Screen Recorder?

I recently found and purchased Movavi Screen Capture Pro after having the frustrating experiences of trying to find an effective, good & simple screen capture software. Movavi Screen Capture Pro covers the bases. It's super simple to use, has a nice interface with good options and user friendly. Just seconds after using, I was able to capture a specific section of my screen and with audio (sound). Thanks for coming to the rescue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Movavi Screen Recorder?

I noticed the application only places a shortcut icon in the toolbar for Mac. I would prefer that the program provides an option to have in the toolbar at all times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Movavi Screen Recorder?

there is no profile or custom profile for next recording as we last customize. We need multiple resolution for every different shoot so we want that if you would create custom profile maker with customized setting so that we can make it fast at one click.
