Would love to take credit for this but can't - borrowed from a Twitter friend: Nice offer on Amazon at the moment. Buy all of the Adam & The Ants sheet music, they'll throw in a stand and deliver....

I'm using Cyberlink PowerDirector on Win 10 to compile a montage of very short clips over a piece of music. I'm downloading fairly long clips from YouTube then trimming them to the 3-4 seconds each...

Can anyone recommend a good programme for live recording of what's on my monitor, in particular YouTube in full screen mode? I have Tiny Take but it won't work in full screen - the key-press to start...
