What is it?

ScreenGun is a very simple tool to make quick screen recordings in excellent quality at the expense of framerate.

ScreenGun is suitable for

  • Quick demos
  • Showing your parents how to send an email
  • Small tutorials

ScreenGun is NOT suitable for

  • Game recordings
  • .. other things requiring a high framerate

The techy stuff

ScreenGun uses Window's GDI+ to take screenshots as fast as it can (basically the same as PrtScr). It timestamps these frames internally and generates a textfile to be fed to the ffmpeg concat demuxer. For audio, ScreenGun uses NAudio to record the selected microphone. It also records the cursor.
