Screenium 1.1 Released
Last year, we did a face-off of all the major screen-capturing apps. In the end, we thought that Screenium was the winner for its price and large feature-set. Just recently, Screenium has been updated to version 1.1 and holds a few new features.
The first new feature is the customization of mouse clicks–You can now show users your mouse clicks. There is a new Mouse tab where you can customize the size, color, duration and strength of your mouse clicks. You can even display the button name for the click. This means, if you click the left mouse button, it says, ‘Left’ where you clicked as well as showing the animation. You can visualize all these styles without having to create a video in the Mouse Actions Preview box at the bottom.
The second major feature added was optimized export workflows to easily export videos to a few places. All you do is right-click on a video, and you will see a list of 3 pre-defined exporters. So now, you can export for the iPhone just by clicking that and then clicking okay.
Screenium by Synium retails for $29 and you can download a free trial from their site. If you would like more in-depth info about it, you can look at our Face off of screen-capturing apps.
Saw the headline “Screenium 1.0 released” and thought I was crazy. Perhaps a headline fix is in order, no?
Wow, I had no idea there was software that could do this. I make simple computer tutorials for my grandmother just using static screen shots, and always thought movie-based screen capture would move too fast for her. But with mouse clicks and quick export this should be a much better solution.
For $29 this is a great product. By far the best screen-capturing app I have seen/used. I would recommend this app for sure.
