Video Options

Change the encoder to be used for the video recording. For the configurable encoders, click Configure to set for example compression.

Move the Quality slider to the right to increase quality. Note that a higher quality video file will be larger.

You can let Netop Screen Video automatically adjust frame rates: Leave the Auto Adjust check box selected.

Or you can clear the Auto Adjust check box and set the options yourself:

Max frame rate left end represents recording 200 frames/second and Max frame rate right end represents recording 1 frame/minute. When you move the slider, the Set Key Frames Every, Capture Frames Every and Playback Rate fields are automatically adjusted:

Notes

Playback will synchronize at each key frame.

A large number of frames will make a large file.

Cursor Options

Define whether the mouse pointer should be included in the recording, and define the pointer appearance.

Audio Options

Define options for recording sound as well as video.

Autopan Speed

Setting autopan speed is relevant when Enable Autopan has been selected (command above in the same menu). Automatic panning means that the recording region center is automatically moved towards the mouse pointer position while recording. When Enable Autopan is not selected, the recording region center does not move.

Autopan Speed defines how fast the recording region center is moved.

Recording Thread Priority

Recording Thread Priority means that a priority is set for use of computer resources for Netop Screen Video as compared to other program running at the same time.

General guideline: If the video recording does not play smoothly, computer resources may be too scarce and it might help to raise the Recording Thread Priority.

Keyboard Shortcuts

Define keyboard keys to control the recording.
