– Open the program and click the ‘New Recording’ button to start recording.
– After the pop-up window appears on your screen, adjust the border to readjust the size of the region you want to record; this will enable you to make precise adjustments using the magnifier.
– Click and drag the plus icon in the top left corner of the border to reposition your recording region; you can simply switch back to recording the full screen by pressing the Shift+F keys.
– Find the audio and webcam icons on the right side of the window; if you want to capture your screen with a webcam and sound, click the icon to enable it. Make sure your microphone and webcam are well connected to your computer!

HOW DO I EDIT MY VIDEO?
Once you end a screen recording in the Wondershare DemoCreator, the video editing window is opened automatically.

– Once the video clip is in your timeline, you can mute it or detach the audio for separate editing. This can be done by right-clicking on the clip and choosing either option. Detached audio is placed in the timeline as a separate file which can be edited individually.
