Record Using Multiple
Monitors
With My Screen Recorder Pro,
you can take full
advantage of having two
monitors on your
computer. The
program can record in
two different ways, each
of which has its uses.
You can either record
from one monitor that
you select, or record
both at once.
Recording from one
monitor can be ideal
when you want to both
record, and continue
working. For
instance, you might want
My Screen Recorder Pro
to capture everything
that's happening in a
server console, or
recording a web
conference or Internet
TV show, on one monitor.
Meanwhile, you can
continue to work on
other projects using the
other monitor. You
can choose which monitor
to record from using the
Multiple monitor
recording settings
on the
General tab of the
Settings window.
Here you choose which
monitor to record from,
or Entire Screen if you want to record
both.
One warning: If you make
any changes on the
Performance tab of the
Settings screen
(such as
turning off hardware
acceleration or
changing the display
settings during
recording) then
multi-monitor mode will
be ignored. If
Performance settings
are important, you'll
have to change them
manually in Windows.
If you select Entire
Screen your
recording will include
what happens on both the
monitors, side by side
in a single movie.
The recording will have
the width of both movies
combined, and the height of the taller of the two.
Certain people use
multiple monitors all
day. If your work
uses both monitors,
you'll often need to
record everything that
happens on both screens, and My Screen
Recorder Pro can be
invaluable.
One very useful trick
you can use with a
two-monitor system is to
record a tutorial or
presentation using a
script. Set the
one monitor (let's say
the left one) to the
settings you want for
the recording. For
example, you might set
the left-hand monitor to
800x600 resolution.
Then, in a window in the
other (right) monitor,
you can display your
script. This lets
you read from the script
on the right while
demonstrating something
on the left. If
you need to scroll down
in the script, just
pause the recording by
pressing F8 while you
work in the other
window, and press it
again to restart the
recording.
My Screen Recorder Pro
puts you in complete
control as you record
from either one or both
monitors. The
power and flexibility of
your dual-monitor system
coupled with My Screen
Recorder Pro helps you
create even better
tutorials and demos with
ease.
