I'd like to record a demo of the layout in use. Does anyone have any recommendations for software for that, formats to publish in etc. etc. One caveat is that being for ultrawide monitors, the unscaled frame size would be pretty large (5120x1440 for mine) which might present some special issues ... advice would be most welcome.

The latter (OBS) makes it possible (and quite easy) to include your webcam and microphone in the recording, and can even detect/remove background and do other filtering and transitions (like from fullscreen webcam into desktop + webcam overlay), all in real-time. So I'd definitely go with OBS. >One caveat is that being for ultrawide monitors, the unscaled frame >size would be pretty large (5120x1440 for mine) which might present >some special issues ... advice would be most welcome. Switch the resolution to 1280x360. Fonts and icons will be massive but the layout will behave the same. -- Tomáš "liskin" ("Pivník") Janoušek, https://lisk.in/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
