Set Preferences

This part helps you quickly learn how to use the basic settings of EaseUS RecExperts.

General

Recording storage path

Within the settings, you have the option to choose a designated folder in the Recording storage path for saving all recorded files. This makes it convenient to quickly locate a specific recording by accessing this folder directly.

Before Recording 

Enable delay for several seconds before recording starts or set the play tone when recording begins.

During Recording

here are several settings to configure during recording.

1. Show recording boundary

By enabling this option, you will see the recording boundary during the recording process.

2. Hide Floating Toolbar

The floating toolbar appears when the recording is started, however, you have the option to hide this toolbar during the recording in case you don't want any other applications shown on the recorded screen.

During the recording, a toolbar will appear on the screen providing various options including pause/stop, screenshot, zoom, and annotating features. If you don't need the toolbar shown on your screen, just click and drag it to the edge of your PC screen and release your mouse. After that, the toolbar will hide behind the screen side, and you can pull it out by putting the mouse cursor in the original place.

3. Auto-hide desktop icons

This option is to help hide the desktop icons while recording.

4. Auto-hide this system taskbar

Likewise, you have the option to hide the system taskbar while recording.

5. Enable GPU hardware acceleration

At times, the CPU usage may become too high, causing audio and video to be choppy and encoding to become stuck. In order to remedy this issue, you can enable the GPU hard acceleration option, which will result in smoother video playback.

Video and Audio

Select the correct mode based on your original video aspect ratio. Multiple formats are also available for you to select for video output (MP4, MKV, AVI, MOV, FLV, etc.), Video Quality, Frame rate, etc. As well as the audio output (MP3, AAC, OGG, WAV, WMA, FLAC, etc.), Birtrate(128kb/s, 192kb/s, 256kb/s), etc.

Hotkeys

If you are a shortcut-key lover, hotkeys would be your best choice rather than the recording toolbar. Although the program itself is already equipped with default hotkeys, you can still change those settings and set the hotkeys according to your preference.

Mouse Settings

Not only you can decide how the mouse cursor will appear in your recording, but also you can choose whether you want to hide or show the mouse clicks as well as the mouse area. It is also possible to set up different colors for mouse clicks and add highlight effects.

Game

The Game Settings section provides specialized tools for recording PC games. These settings help maintain frame rates while capturing gameplay footage, live streams, or competitive gaming sessions. The configuration options balance visual quality with system resource usage, ensuring your games run smoothly during recording.

More

These options control how RecExperts integrates with your operating system, allowing you to customize launch preferences, permission levels, and window management for optimal workflow efficiency.

Launch at startup

Automatically starts EaseUS RecExperts when you log into Windows.

Always run as administrator: 

Ensures full access to system resources for uninterrupted recording.

Window management: 

Choose between minimizing to tray (for background operation) or exiting completely when closed.

Record Screen

With RecExperts, you're able to record the full screen, customized region, webcam or create a picture-in-picture video. System sound, microphone, or both can be included in the recorded video as well. Now, let's check how to start with the recording!

Start Recording

Screen Recording

1. Launch the software and select the Screen option.

2. Choose the recording area in All Display, select Full Screen to capture your entire display or choose Custom to manually select a specific area.

3. Click the REC button to begin. During the session, use the on-screen toolbar to pause, resume, or stop the recording as needed.

Black Screen Fix

When recording videos from streaming platforms like Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon Prime, you may encounter a black screen due to HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) or DRM (Digital Rights Management) encryption. These security measures are designed to prevent unauthorized copying of protected content, which can interrupt screen capture and result in a blank output.

If you experience this issue, enable the Black Screen Fix option on the floating toolbar. This bypasses the encryption barrier, allowing you to record videos smoothly from these platforms.

Window Recording

EaseUS RecExperts lets you effortlessly record any application window while multitasking. Simply click the Window button, select your target window from the list or by clicking directly on it, then start recording with the floating REC button in the bottom. The capture continues seamlessly in the background, allowing you to work normally during recording. Stop anytime using the toolbar button or hotkey (default: F9).

The tool supports multi-window selection for recording. Choose one of your target windows and initiate recording with the REC button.

Game Recording

This feature allows you to select specific game windows for recording, simply highlight the target game window and click REC to start capturing seamlessly.

Audio

Click the Audio icon to choose whether to record system sound, microphone, both, or no sound at all. Moreover, sound volume can be adjusted accordingly within the option.

If you have already selected the screen for recording but have not set the audio options yet, you can easily access the system sound and microphone options on the floating toolbar at the bottom. Simply adjust the settings to include audio in your recording.

Webcam Recording

To record your webcam along with your PC screen, simply click on the Webcam icon and select your webcam device. If the program is unable to detect your webcam, try plugging in the camera before starting RecExperts and then restarting the program. This should resolve any issues with detection.

If the camera is not turned on, please click the camera symbol button located at the bottom right of the interface to choose the camera.

Stop Recording

To finish recording, you can manually click the stop button at the recording toolbar or use the default hotkey (F9) to end the video.

Once the recording is complete, you will be able to enter the preview window to play your recorded video or audio.

Auto Stop

The Auto Stop function allows you to set the recording time and file size before starting so that the recording can be automatically stopped based on your preferences.

Schedule

The Schedule function allows you to schedule the start time, duration, stop time, recording area, audio input, and more for your recording. By using this feature, you won't have to continuously monitor the recording process.

Split

If you have any additional requirements for the video file or recording time, the Split feature is available. To split the video file when the recording reaches a certain time or when the file reaches certain limitations, select the appropriate settings under the main interface.

Adjust the fade-in and fade-out effects to create smooth transitions, then click Apply to add these professional touches to the beginning and end of your video. The process is quick and effortless, instantly elevating your content's quality.

Transcript with AI

The Transcript function is an AI-powered feature in the software that enables you to automatically transcribe speech from videos into text, providing a convenient and efficient way to generate accurate transcripts.

To begin, select Transcript with AI from the right sidebar. The system will automatically initiate a one-time download of the required AI model in the background.
