Recordings do not save

Every other time I use this stupid program, as soon as I stop my recording, I am brought to an empty project and the video recording doesn’t even get created. I am trying to just record my screen for 15 - 20 minutes at a time as I teach my student teaching lesson plans and I might fail now because of you! I updated the program and the problem was supposedly improved but now it’s even worse! Today I lost 2 out of 3 lessons and I might not graduate in time! Yes, I have plenty of disk space.

Hi Perry,

It seems like you used Record Software Simulation to record your screen. This recording feature helps you create a step-by-step software simulation that is intended to function as a test. It allows you to capture all actions on the screen and then convert them into a slide-based project including:

Image slides (mouse click, key stroke);

Video slides (mouse scroll, drag-n-drop).

If you select this mode to record and leave your mouse to stay still, nothing will be recorded. In this case, you should choose Record Video instead because this mode helps you record on-screen actions as a full-motion video.

Please refer to our tutorial to learn more:

No, I used Record Video.

If so, could you please send us the log of ActivePresenter to support@atomisystems.com so that we can check?
