kazam

Video-recording the desktop, taking pictures of applications, capturing portions of the screen, etc, are actions that can be performed via Kazam, powerful screen-recording tool that offers an intuitive, simplistic yet reliable experience.

Among its recording types, Kazam comes by default with per-area ability to capture the screen, meaning, the user is able to video-record and image-record desired areas of the screen, actions doable by hitting the Area button and drawing the to-be-recorded portion of the desktop.

Kazam is a powerful screencasting application that combines both video- and image-taking capabilities into an intuitive, polished yet simplistic interface.

Basically, Kazam exposes on its toolbar:

Office tools, video and music players, text editors, 3D suites, image viewers, etc, are application types available in Ubuntu via Ubuntu Software Center with numerous looks, functionalities and features.

Yet, there are app types that sometimes (for a long period of time) fail to emerge (or being continuously developed) on Ubuntu, especially for users seeking a powerful GUI-enabled tool to perform niche tasks.

By using Ubuntu, users expose themselves to a solid, serious and reliable massive pack of software, software expressed as generic applications, tools, utilities, converters, etc, essentially, the user is able to fulfill both simplistic (browsing the Web, watching movies, playing music, etc) and complex tasks (editing and saving a 1000-thousand-pages long ODT document as PDF, 3D creation, modifying interfaces, etc).

Sometimes, as part of our daily workflows, we are "forced" to use screenshots and screencasts, taking pictures and video of the screen (and/or contained apps), activities necessary for spreading a certain app view, sharing one's desktop, etc.

Kazam is a handy powerful screencasting and screenshoting app, combining an effective screencasting capability with a screenshoting functionality, essentially, presenting itself as a complete screencaster utility.

Kazam is a handy recording utility designed with a double-sided approach in mind (screencaster and screenshoter), essentially, allowing users to record the screen as both picture and video.

Launching Kazam, presents the user its toolbar, from where Screencast (video related) and Screenshot (image taking related) are to be accessed.

Kazam 1.3.5 has been released, bringing various fixes, optimizations, as well as under-the-hood improvements.

Kazam is an effective and useful application, presenting the user a hybrid interface, meaning, under the same "hood", Kazam combines both picture and video screen-capturing functionalities.

Kazam Screencaster is a simplistic yet effective screen-recording utility, packing (under its "hood") a handy amount of functionalities, aimed at an intuitive adjustable screencasting experience.

Kazam has been updated to version 1.3.2, pushing its BETA stage to an interesting refreshed look & feel.

Ubuntu's default social client, Gwibber, in partnership with Kazam Screencaster, have launched a CALL FOR BUG HUNT with the obvious reason of bug fixing, aiming to more stable applications.

The bug hunting process is simple, users need an up-to-date Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin with Gwibber 3.3.90 (installed by default in 12.04 LTS) and Kazam 1.0.4 (Kazam can also be run on Ubuntu 11.10).

Kazam is a simple, easy-to-use screen-recording tool featuring a nice interface, popular video formats and a handy appindicator.

Kazam 1.0 (first 1.0 release yet labeled unstable by developers) has been released just now, adding extra options and consolidating the GTK+3 port (process done during the last weeks).

Furthermore, the app provides:

• option to set framerates from 1-60
