Capture area

The orange frame defines which part of your screen will be visible in your screen recording.
 
Record full screen
To record a full screen video, open the list on the control panel and select your display.
Note: if you have enabled the capture control panel, it will be visible on full-screen recordings. You can disable it in the Screen Capture Preferences.
Also, the main Movavi Screen Capture window will hide, but you can use keyboard shortcuts or the tray icon to begin recording.
Record a window
Using the smart selection tool, you can select any window and the frame will be automatically set to its size and position.
1. Click the crosshair button on the Movavi Screen Capture window.
2. The screen will dim slightly. Move your mouse pointer over to the window you want to capture and click on it. An orange frame should appear around the window.
If you move the window, the capture frame will also follow.
Record a YouTube player
1. Open the list on the Movavi Screen Capture window. There, find the YouTube section and select the size you need. The smaller size is the regular player size, while the larger size is YouTube's Theatrical Mode.
2. Click and drag the orange square in the center of the capture frame to move it over the YouTube player.
 
Record a standard size
You can select from any of the standard or widescreen sizes that match common screen resolutions and windows.
1. On the Movavi Screen Capture window, open the list under 'Select Capture Area'.
2. Select a size that fits your needs.
3. Click and drag the orange square in the center of the capture frame and move it to the necessary position.
 
Custom frame size
You can set virtually any frame size for your recording using a number of ways:
 
Draw the capture frame
1. Click the crosshairs button on the Movavi Screen Capture window to enter smart selection mode.
2. The screen will dim slightly. Click and drag diagonally to draw the capture frame rectangle.
Exact size
If you want to set a specific size, enter the width and height into the boxes on the Movavi Screen Capture window:
Drag the edges
Move your mouse pointer over the edge of the capture frame, and click-and-drag at them to change the size of the frame.
Moving the capture frame
To move the capture frame, click and drag at the orange square in the center of the capture frame to move it across the screen.
