Follow Start > All Programs > DVDVideoSoft > Programs > Free Screen Video Recorder or just click the DVDVideoSoft Free Studio icon on the desktop.

The interface is rather simple and self explaining. There are buttons to capture images or videos and a button to open an image to edit it.

The program captures the following screenshots:
- full screen
- window
- object (for example, a button, an icon)
- region

Click the corresponding button on the program panel and select a region to capture. To cancel the action, press Esc on the keyboard.

Make a single click to capture an image. A window will appear where you can save or edit the captured image.

The program records video from:
- full screen
- window
- object (for example, a button, an icon)
- region

Click the corresponding button on the program panel and select a region to capture video. To cancel the action, press Esc on the keyboard.

To stop recording in full screen mode, make a double click on the icon which appears on the tray in the lower right-hand corner of the screen.

To stop recording in other modes, use the buttons Pause/Stop which appear near the recorded region.

Press the button "Options" to change default settings, for example:

- change delay's time before capturing;

- set the program to run at Windows start-up;

- set file name format for images or videos;

- change media format;

- select program language;

- check for updates.
