oCam Advanced Settings - Mouse Cursor Effects - Highlight Effects

Click Tools - Options on the oCam main menu, then open the Effects category to check the Highlight Effect settings.



 


The Highlight Effect is used to help viewers immediately recognize the current position of the mouse cursor while watching a video.


The options are described below.


Color

- This is the color applied to the highlight effect. It is set to yellow by default.


Size

- When the highlight effect is enabled, a semi-transparent circle is drawn around the mouse cursor. This option sets the size of that circle. It is set to 90 by default.


Soft Edge

- The higher this value becomes, the softer the edge of the circle appears.



Opacity

- The lower this value is, the more transparent the circle becomes. 


Preview

- Lets you preview the mouse effect you have configured.


If the opacity value is set too high, the highlight effect may cover the part of the screen where the mouse is located. For that reason, it is best to use an appropriate opacity setting.

How to Change the File Name of Saved Recordings, Audio Recordings, or Captures

Click Tools - Options in the top menu of oCam.

Then click the Save tab on the left to set the file name for saved files.


 


By default, files are saved in the following format.

<Prefix>_<YYYY_MM_DD_HH_NN_SS_Z>

The text inside the <> brackets uses special keywords. These keywords can represent the prefix, date, serial number, program name, user ID, and user name.


With the default settings, when recording starts and then finishes, the file is saved in the format Recording_2015_05_07_14_22_41_791. If you only want to change the word Recording at the beginning, you can change it as follows.


Test_<YYYY_MM_DD_HH_NN_SS_Z>

If you do this, the file will be saved in the format Test_2015_05_07_14_22_41_791 after recording is completed.


If you want to add a serial number after Test instead of the date,

set it to Test_<#>, and it will be saved as Test_1... Test_2 ... Test_3...................... Test_10.
