  1. Java only
  2. Audio recorded in .wav format only
  3. No webcam recording option
  4. Unmaintained?

Good for academic interest or just playing around. Waste of time for use in production.

What is Krut?

Krut is a screencast tool that is written in Java and well suited for making video tutorials (instructional videos) on most platforms. Krut records movie files, including sound, of selected parts of your screen. The files use the quicktime mov format. The program has an intuitive and compact user interface.

In addition to a movie file, the program also records separate files for audio (wav) and video (mov), which easily allows encoding to any movie format using an external encoding program.

Some additional features:

  • Timer-controlled recording
  • Moveable recording areas during recording
  • Preview of ongoing recording
  • Optional mouse pointer recording
  • Record/Playback at 2 different frame rates
  • Highly accurate audio-video synchronization
