N-Studio
A new era for screen recording
N-Studio is a screen and sound recording application for Windows 10 and 11, described as the successor to ScreenToGif from the same developer. It captures screen activity, microphone or system audio, cursor events and key presses, then supports quick edits and export in multiple formats. It can also share a selected screen region live during video calls, and includes an editor for creating or editing projects with video and audio import, text, shapes, drawing, pixelation effects and progress indicators.
The app includes a screen recorder, a sound recorder that can capture multiple microphones and speakers simultaneously, an exporter with trim, crop, resize, layer toggling and framerate or speed adjustments, region sharing with cursor, click and keystroke tracking for Google Meet, Zoom and Microsoft Teams, and a full editor with layers, media import, text, images, shapes, drawings and effects. Export formats include APNG, GIF, WEBP, MP4, MKV, MOV, WEBM, MP3, WAV, FLAC, ALAC, OGG, PSD, NSM, STG, JPG, PNG, BMP, AIF and HEIC.
It is offered as a free Starter edition with no limits, watermark or ads, alongside a Professional edition available as a one-time payment or subscription, with additional capture frequencies, playback speed changes, effects and segment splitting. Annual billing includes two months free, and upgrades are free for minor versions; major-version upgrades are included with Professional.
