Once you have all of your settings set, just click the 'Record' button. The default is set low, but if you are going to capture a video of yourself, you will definitely want to look good and the 30 frames per second option is much better than the default. I also set the quality of the video to 'Max.' As mentioned above there are a lot of settings, but the only one I needed to change was the 'Frames per second' setting.

I haven't used the 'Set Timer' option, but it allows you to set a time in which you want your screen to start recording.

The 'Recordings' option is where you will find the recordings when you are finished with a lecture or a tutorial.At the top of the recorder window, you will see some menu items.If you want to record yourself speaking about what is on your screen make sure you check the 'Webcam' option.

if you want Flashback to record a narration you will wan the 'Microphone' option selected.

The next two sections that are important are the 'Microphone' and the 'Webcam' checkboxes.

Finally, you have the 'Window' option that allows you to record a specific window from say a browser or another program There is also a 'Region' option which allows you to draw a box around a specific part of your screen that you want to record.

The 'Area' option allows you to select the full screen which will record the entire screen.

There are three main things to look at on the intro screen.
