BSR Screen Recorder 4 Editor Review

Introduction
BSR
Screen Recorder 4 is a great video capture software. It will do
everything you want, from capturing a straight picture to video
streams and everything in between.
This software has auto pan recording,
which records where the mouse is.
Zoom-in and zoom-out when recording
and
subtitles
and annotations can be recorded into the video as simple as 1.2.3.
You
can even draw on the screen with different colours whilst recording.
The list of features with BSR
Screen Recorder 4 is impressive. BSR
can record transparent/layered windows, with this software the only thing
that will hold you back is your imagination, you can do almost anything
with this software.

Save
videos as AVI, SWF and WMV. Set up video presentations or
tutorials. The BSR
Screen Recorder 4 also includes
Movie and Photo Studios, which enable
you to merge
two videos, cut portions from video, grab
pictures
from
video,
add audio
and has many more editing options available.

Conclusion
BSR
Screen Recorder 4 is an easy to learn powerful screen capturing
software with all the bells and whistle. This software I believe is right
up there with Snagit. BSR
Screen Recorder 4 can be downloaded for FREE with no time limit. So you can take your time to see
if this software is right for you.
There is a catch, the video and pictures have been watermarked with
BSR on them until you pay for it, then the watermarks will
disappear. Now for the price,
for one
users licence it is $39.95 USD.
