Flashback

Flashback is a desktop application that records everything happening on your Windows screen and turns it into a video file. You can capture full screen, a specific window, or a custom area. The tool also records system sounds and microphone audio at the same time.

What makes Flashback different is its complete editing suite. After recording, you can trim clips, add text and arrows, blur sensitive information, and apply transitions. The newest version includes AI features that create captions automatically and can change your voice to sound clearer.

There are two main versions: Flashback Express is free with all basic features, while paid plans add more storage credits and advanced tools. The software saves videos in common formats like MP4, AVI, and WMV.

Using Flashback is simple and does not require technical skills. Here is how to get started:
