vokoscreen

How am I only now learning of vokoscreen?

vokoscreen is simple and straightforward
I've been a fan of OBS studio and it still is pretty amazing, but with my new microphone, a Samson Q2U USB, it is giving me headaches on my Linux laptop. It will not consistently keep settings to record video from builtin webcam and the audio from ONLY the usb mic.

I can use SimpleScreenRecorder or recrodMyDesktop if I don't need to occasionally have the webcam video added. Both of those work extremely well.

But of course I want it all, and wherever possible I want it open source. I'm working on some video walk-throughs of interesting blend files I've made to help teach others who might be interested. And being able to record with the least hassle is extremely important.

It seems to be Linux-only which is sad, and I don't even think it's being developed any more. But for now, vokoscreen is just what I need.

Happy Waylena is happy.

Free SVG

With openclipart.org forever gone, I'm always on the lookout for sources of free vector graphics.

I have found publicdomainvectors.org to be useful. The admins of that site have now created a site closer to the spirit of the old openclipart.org site: freesvg.org

I shared this previously on Facebook, but I'm back to the project.
