The screen recorder from Movavi is very well suited for beginners and less experienced users as it offers intuitive and easy-to-learn operation. The program is neither cluttered nor extensive and offers users all the important functions needed for screen recording. Among other things, different resolutions up to a maximum of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels and individual audio and webcam settings are possible. Handy screenshots of the screen content can also be created from the menu. A screen recording can either be started directly from the menu or scheduled beforehand. If users decide on the second option, they can set a custom start time and a suitable end time. The software automatically begins with the screen recording based on the settings. With manual recordings, users have three seconds before the recording starts. The recording can be paused or stopped via the menu or the keyboard. The recording can subsequently be saved in a suitable format. The videos can be played back directly within the screen recorder or cropped if required.

Users can save their videos in different formats once they are happy with the screen recording. The available formats are MP4, AVI, MOV, and MKV. If users make a screenshot using the Movavi Screen Recorder, they can save it in a GIF format. Audio can be saved as MP3 files. To export the recording, users simply have to click on “Save as” and select a suitable format. All the settings of the respective formats can be customized by clicking on the gear icon. Among other things, users can adjust the speed here or improve the quality of the recordings. Exporting the recording only takes a few moments. The duration depends on the computer hardware. Although Movavi Screen Recorder is “only” a recording tool, the software has several additional functions. The program creates high-resolution screenshots and high-quality audio recordings. Recording audio from different sources at once is also possible. This makes it easy for users to record their voice and background music together, for example. Recorded videos can be exported, modified, and played back. Users can share and upload their videos including descriptions and tags to YouTube directly from the menu.
