After posting about a couple of useful websites, I thought I’d do a useful application. Flashback Express can be sued to record short training or demo videos. While it can be used to capture the webcam, I have been using it to record the screen and sounds; for one video I needed to record both myself and someone else speaking and Flashback Express easily allowed me to capture sound from both the microphone and speakers.
Videos are recorded in a native format, but can be both exported to WMV or MP4 as well as exported directly to a YouTube channel.
There is a pro version of Flashback which provides more functionality:
| Feature | Flashback Express | Flashback Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Record screen and sounds |  |
|
| Capture webcam | |
|
| Add commentary | |
|
| No time limits, watermarks | |
|
| Full video editing suite | |
|
| Add text, images, sounds | |
|
| Apply video effects | |
|
| Save as MP4, AVI, WMV | |
|
| Save in all formats | |
|
| Post video to YouTube | |
