Besides PIP, RecMaster still assists you work out a unique and engaging guideline with customized mouse cursor movement/click, annotation and watermark effects.

Final Words

Some are so professional that novices have to invest a lot of money and take time to conquer the deep learning curve. Some are too basic and lack of capabilities to satisfy the demands of common recording requirements. In this case, RecMaster is one of the exceptions. On one hand, it keeps good balance between ease-of-use and recording features, and on the other hand, it’s priced rationally at $29.95 for a 1-year license and $39.95 for a lifetime license.
