Recording keystrokes

If you're making a tutorial that uses keyboard shortcuts, it's helpful to display them on screen for your viewers. Enable keystroke recording to show the keys you pressed at the bottom of the video.
 
  • Open the Settings menu.
  • Choose Preferences.
  • In the Preferences window, switch to the Effects tab.
  • To enable keystroke recording, select one of the options:
  • Keyboard shortcuts only — only key combinations such as C or Esc will show up on screen. Letters and keys that do not cause an action will not be displayed. 
  • All keystrokes — each key you press will appear on screen, including letters and numbers.
To turn off keystroke recording, open the Effects preferences once again and select Do not capture keystrokes

Tips:
  • Avoid entering any passwords or other sensitive information while you're recording a video with keystroke recording: if you share the video, your viewers will be able to see each character you type.
