Knald: Open-Source Video Recording & Editing Software

Open-source alternative to Camtasia and Screencast-O-Matic for creating high-quality video tutorials and screencasts, with features like screen recording, webcam integration, video editing, animation and captioning tools.

What is Knald?

Knald is a free and open-source software application for creating screen recordings and tutorials. It provides similar functionality as premium tools like Camtasia and Screencast-O-Matic but is entirely free to use.

With Knald, users can record their screen, webcam, and microphone. It supports picture-in-picture mode to display the webcam feed overlaid on top of screen recordings. Users can choose to record full-screen or select a specific region to record.

After recording, Knald provides a timeline-based video editor to cut unwanted sections, merge multiple clips, add transitions, insert shapes and text overlays, apply filters, and more. Annotations and captions can be added to highlight important areas of the videos.

Some key features of Knald include customizable keyboard shortcuts, the ability to pause/resume recordings, configurable countdown timers, and options to change the video resolution and frame rates.

The exported videos can be saved locally in formats like MP4 and MOV or directly uploaded to platforms such as YouTube, Google Drive, and Dropbox. The software is available for Linux, Windows, and Mac operating systems.

As Knald is open-source and community-driven, users can also contribute to the project on GitHub by submitting bug reports, suggestions, and code contributions to add new features.
