BB TestAssistant Pro

There are times when you may need to record everything displayed on your desktop, maybe for recalling a certain piece of information, but especially for sending a report to the developer of a certain application. If the developer sees how his program performs and what the error is all about, he can fix it easier than sending just a picture of the error message. Windows can capture the desktop and save it as an image file but it cannot save the desktop as an animated video file. That's why one should turn to specialized software for this.

BB TestAssistant Pro is one such program. It's a Windows application which can capture the desktop and save it as a regular video file. But it can do much more than that, as it comes with a special player module, which allows playing and editing the captured video file. The program does not require too many resources and can be used by anyone.

When running the recording module of BB TestAssistant Pro, a simple interface will be displayed, allowing the user to select which area of the desktop should be recorded, either the complete desktop, an active window or a certain region. He can also choose to include sound inside the video file. The sound can come from the microphone, line-in or any Windows program. After making all these changes, the recording process can be initiated with a click of a button.

After the video has been recorded, the user can automatically open it in the player module, where he can preview it and add various effects to the video. These effects include changing the cursor, for making it more visible, displaying pictures of key strokes on the screen or replacing the original sound track of the captured video. Besides that, for personalizing the video, one can add a watermark to it.

After customizing the captured video, the user can save it in one of the many video formats supported by BB TestAssistant Pro, using various quality settings.
