Does anyone have any recommendations for a good screen capture program thats lightweight? (and free)
I use to be able to record my screen with quicktime while drawing a 300 res file in photoshop with minimal problems. Im not sure if its cause i have a cintiq now and that takes extra memory but its impossible for me to run both quicktime and photoshop together now. I am on an older iMac tho.

I use Camstudio. It's free, quick and easy install, instantly compresses and converts the recording to one of a bunch of file types you choose from, and I had no trouble running it while using photoshop and I'm on a really basic ass laptop that has an offbrand graphics card. Ironically the laptop can't handle any video editing software.

I use OBS. No idea how lightweight it is really, but I've never had problems with it. I use it to stream too.
OP see >>2431082
OBS is brilliant, it's free and cross-platform.
Seems to work wonderfully for both casual screen capture and more intense capture as well (eg. games).
Really easy to configure, can also be used for streaming your screen on things like Twitch too.
It's quite funny that I used to use Camtasia, as it worked quite well for me years back, but since my computer is becoming more and more shit, I just recently discovered program the anon above mentioned, OBS. I like OBS, and unlike Camtasia I can custom set the recording resolution and encoder to improve runtime performance. And as said above, it can even stream apparently. I'd recommend giving it a try if you really need something free and decent to use.
I heard you can use FRAPS outside of games now. Haven't tried it myself though.
