iShowYou Studio can help you make screencasts. Thus, the tool supports the whole process of creating a screencast, which starts with recording a video from the screen and goes on with editing until it is ready to be shared.

The program supports recording not only video but audio as well. So, you can simply press the Record button to grab whatever is happening on the screen while you make an oral explanation. Luckily, it lets you capture the whole screen or just a section. In addition, you can set the virtual camera to follow your mouse pointer. This way, you do not need to record such a large section, so the resulting file is much lighter.

In terms of editing the captured video, iShowYou Studio is probably one of the most complete products available. In this respect, it supports adding effects, such as transitions, fading, panning, and zooming. Likewise, you can add shapes, text, and watermarks. Moreover, it can improve your explanation by highlighting mouse clicks and animating keyboard strokes. It is also great that it can capture video directly from a camera, which you can overlap to the recording video.

When you have finished giving the necessary touches to the source screen recording, you can easily share it with other users. Fortunately, it allows exporting video in various resolutions and formats, so there will be no problem to play it on any device or upload it to your favorite video-sharing site.

In short, iShowYou Studio is a great solution for creating software demonstrations and tutorials. Likewise, it may come in handy for not only providing remote technical assistance but also showing others the exact problem you want to solve. The product is shareware so it can be tried at no cost. However, it may seem a little bit pricey if you consider that there are free products with similar features.
