A screen recorder that I created to record my screen, because why pay for some random applications when you create one, right?
- IMPROVE PERFORMANCE (URGENT!)
Right now program cannot handle high frame rates gets 30ish frames with my i7 8750H CPU How can I solve this? PROBLEMS: ---If I store screenshots to speed up recording process, I run out of memory quickly ---Taking screenshots is too slow ---Processing and saving screenshots is just a bit slow IDEAS: ---Reduce resolution, then upscale it in post processing? ---Reduce frame rate, then upscale it in post processing? ---Use Windows API? WHO CARES ABOUT PORTABILITY ---Maybe if I re-run the code enough times framerates will increase ---JUST GO WRITE THIS IN ASSEMBLY ALREADY ---Wait this makes sense ---Oh boy... - Give user resolution options
- Record computer audio synched with FPS and merge this with video file
- Create a GUI element to help user name the recorded video and specify save location
- Add a timer to show user recorded video length while recording
- Create a GUI to help user start and stop recording (DONE)
- Give user FPS options (DONE)
Codes are written in Python 3, on to not encounter problems, use this version of Python to run the codes. Required libraries are:
- OpenCV:
pip install opencv-python - numpy:
pip install numpy - pyautogui:
pip install PyAutoGUI - tkinter:
pip install tk - threading
- Clone the repository
- Run the source.py via Visual Studio
- Select the FPS rate you want to record in
- Press the "Start recording" button, GUI will automatically minimize
- Maximize the GUI when you need to stop recording, your captured screen will be saved as "output.avi" with the same location as your code.
