In the previous python project we discussed how to make scissor paper rock game using tkinter. If you haven’t checked that project yet then CLICK HERE
We are back with yet another python project series. Today we will create our own screen recorder which captures the screen. We can record screenshot and record the screen as well.
For this you will need opencv and pyscreenshot library in your system. PyScreenshot is used for capturing the frames while OpenCV is used for saving the frames in this tutorial.
Requirement :
- PyQt5
- Opencv

Thanks for wonderful info I was looking for this info for my mission. adreamoftrains web hosting reviews
Like!! I blog quite often and I genuinely thank you for your information. The article has truly peaked my interest.
can i use tkinter to create this screen recorder ?
yeah you can
too many libraries that i’m not familiar even not seen, if you left the comment at every step ,it would be much more helpful
which libraries you haven’t been used to before?

we will take a look at it sir. Thank you so much

I have been surfing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all web owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will be much more useful than ever before.
