### "A simple and reliant tool for small demands." — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *March 7, 2021* | Music | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Debut comes with a free version, that still includes all the important features.&#10;You can capture different screens and also include yourself with a webcam in the recording.&#10;It is very straightforward and doesn't need any big setup.
> 
> **Cons**: You can only start and stop the recording in the interface of debut - there is no shortcut to do so while working in another window. That leads to some annoying postproduction, cutting out the beginning and ending.
> 
> If you need a free/cheap, fast and reliant way to capture your screen, the Debut is the way to go. The slimmed features make it self-explanatory and easy to use, though come with a big lack of functionality if you have high demands for your video.

### "One of the easiest to use screen recording software out there" — 5.0/5

> **Randy** | *December 23, 2022* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I have used the professional version of Debut video capture software for over 2 years and found the learning curve one of the easiest and fastest out there. The software works well with no loss of video quality from the original recording. NCH software has done a good job with this piece and simplifies the use so that anyone can use it with ease. You can record the screen of your computer or any video to over 60 different file types. You can change compression, quality, size and frame rate of the recordings. Text captions, color, video effects, watermark and green screen effects are all options at your disposal. The software has helped me screen grab a picture or video from other websites. Choose a small area or the entire screen to record or picture grab. Debut is easy to use. Seriously.
> 
> **Cons**: I honestly couldn't find one thing that I really disliked about this software. They made it easy to use and gave it plenty of options.
> 
> Debut definitely has an edge over the other screen recording software out there. I have used it for over 2 years and each version gets better.

### "Debut is one of the best screen recorders out there and has a fully functional free trial" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *March 31, 2021* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: You can go from the process of installing Debut to recording your screen in less than 2 minutes. Many other screen recorders are good for very slow screen movements / changes (such as for a presentation), but Debut can record with a high enough frame rate that it's acceptable for recording full motion movies with no problem and also doesn't cripple your computers processing power, as other recorders can create such a strain that it bogs down the computers performance.
> 
> **Cons**: Setting up Debut is extremely easy, however, it is very possible to screw up the settings upon initial installation. This created some initial frustration with using the software, but is easily remedied. As an example, when you install the software, it's initially set to not record any audio and it's buried in the settings in a couple places that you have to access to be able to set the software to record from your computer, or your microphone. You'll only have this frustration once though and once you know where to look in settings, it will be easy to avoid these sorts of trivial problems moving forward.
> 
> I love Debut and the free trial isn't crippled in its performance so you can see exactly how the app is going to work for your needs. Very reasonably priced, lightweight, and simple to use\!
