Overlay background music
After editing a video, I would like to overlay a background music track.
I don't want to record the music coming from my computer while I narrate, because when I edit the video, the backing music gets chopped and loses its fluency.
I simply want to add a background track to the existing recording.
2 votesThat’s exactly how the import Music feature works. Cuts etc won’t effect the music if you import. See this tutorial for more on audio options: http://help.screencast-o-matic.com/v2-edit-audio

Overlay VIDEO but retain existing AUDIO
It would be very helpful to have an OVERLAY VIDEO function, with the OPTION of using the audio in the video, or the underlying AUDIO track. This would facilitate video in/out bumpers, animated logo transitions, etc.) that preserve the underlying audio recordings. (This can already be done with the "Overlay Image" function - which preserves the underlying audio - but that is a static image. The ability to overlay a video and keep the underlying audio would be a solid addition to the software.

I used your app hours every day since I make video tutorial. Had to format my laptop, and when downloading version 2, I realized it is NOT FREE anymore. Make it free again and put your site's name on the bottom. Stop Being Greedy!

Restart From Last Pause
Currently you have a restart button that allows me to restart from the beginning. If I have a 5 minute script and everything goes well up until near the end, I don't want to restart the video and take the chance of messing up the first part of my recording, so I just accept the error and save the video. If you had a "Restart from last pause" button, I could pause the video at appropriate times during the recording as things are going well and if I make a mistake near the end, I would only need to re-record…
2 votesYou can seek back in the recording and start over from that spot.

insert script section
If I need to insert a section in my scripted recording, it would be nice to have a button to insert a new blank section so I can record my audio and video.
1 voteYou can do this by doing the following:
1. Click in the text box for a script section either at the very start of the text or the very end.
2. Press ENTER key and a new section will be added above or below depending on if the cursor was at the start or end of the text.

4K Quality Feature
I really need to record in 4K quality because it will make my overall videos better and attract more viewers and subscribers to my channel, resulting in a happier me. I've been using screencast for over a year now and it is by far the best and easiest to use screen recording software but if you put 4K in then screencast would get so many more users. the only other thing i can think of is the watermark on the bottom left, please make it a little smaller or just remove it.
2 votesYou can record fullscreen on a 4k monitor but it might not be the best option when sharing with many users that don’t have such a large monitor.

allow to pay with Paypal subscription
Paypal allows safe and secure transactions while also offering an alternative method of payment (aside from any credit or debit card) due to having an extra merchant account, whether it's business or personal. This also helps with most international buyers, as international credit cards have many restrictions and Paypal usually pays the conversion costs from the client (foreign) instead of the merchant (ScreencastOMatic).
20 votesWe offer paypal option for subscriptions.
