Changing Effects while Recording

My Screen Recorder Pro allows you to select and deselect effects even while the screen recording is going on. Suppose you are working with a mouse cursor with highlighting turned on. After a while, if you decide that you don't want the cursor to be highlighted, you can de-select the effect. The result is that in the recording, you will see that the cursor is highlight for some duration and appears normal for the rest.

The same applies for annotations. You can choose to turn them on or off in the middle of the recording.

To change effects while a screen recording is going on, you need to follow the given steps:

1. Right-click on the My Screen Recorder Pro icon in the toolbar.
2. Point to Effects and then Annotation or Mouse Effects.
3. Under Annotation effect, you can click on Time Stamp, Caption or Screen Draw to check (if you want to enable the effect) or uncheck (if you want to disable the effect) it.
4. Under Mouse Effects you can click on Highlight Mouse, Highlight Left Mouse Clicks or Highlight Right Mouse Clicks to check (if you want to enable the effect) or uncheck (if you want to disable the effect) it.
5. You can change the effects even by right-clicking on My Screen Recorder Pro icon and then clicking on Open My Screen Recorder Pro. Once the application is open, click on the Effects menu and follow the procedure described in the previous two steps.
6. Once you have selected any effect during the recording, the Settings you have configured will be applied. If you haven't then default settings will be applied.

To avoid recording the My Screen Recorder Pro menus and yourself turning effects on or off, you can use the keyboard shortcut to pause recording (by default, F8), then start recording again after you have changed the settings.

You can also turn Screen Drawing on and off, and control the Screen Draw Shape, using keyboard shortcuts.
