macVCR 2.0 Advanced Screen Recording Software for Mac OSX - Published on 10/10/08

 

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

Arten Science is proud to announce macVCR Version 2. Following on from the success of Version 1, Arten Science has worked hard to produce a significant upgrade in Version 2 with many advanced features including Magnify at the Cursor, Simultaneous Video Camera Recording, Unlimited User Presets and a Date and Time Overlay Option. Existing customers can upgrade free of charge. As with all our products macVCR remains free of charge to educational and charity organisations.

 

Derbyshire, UK - Arten Science is proud to announce macVCR Version 2. macVCR is a Mac OSX Leopard application that records your screen activity and saves it to a movie file in various formats including Quicktime, AVI, iPhone, MPEG4 and others.

* Specify Recording Length or Operate Manually

For Version 2 There is a new 'Pointer' menu. From this menu you can turn the Pointer on or off. The Pointer is designed to be used when you are recording screen activity for training or demonstration purposes.

 

When the Pointer is switched on, it appears in the centre of your screen. It is a small circular loop with targeting cross hairs. It does not follow the mouse automatically. To move the pointer grab the edge of the circle and move the Pointer to where you wish to perform a mouse action. When you release the mouse button the Pointer is 'zeroed' on the object you wish to manipulate, ie: a menu, folder, a button etc. You can then select or click the object through the middle of the loop.

 

By making the movement of the Pointer with the mouse a conscious decision, it leaves you free to use the mouse on the screen without it being seen in the resulting video. Maybe you wish to move the mouse to a second monitor and perform some action, or you wish to manipulate the screen environment without being seen to do so. Using this method that movement will not be seen in the final video.

 

We believe this unique pointer ability combined with our User Preset facility and our 'Magnify at Cursor' function make macVCR one of the best screen recording applications for Mac OSX.

 

Minimum Requirements:

* Mac OS X Version 10.5 Leopard or higher

* Universal Binary for PowerPC and Intel

* G4 Processor, 1GHz or faster

* 10 MB Hard Drive space
