Tella is a great screen capture program. Very simple to use, but very powerful. :)

This is a great program for transcribing videos and letting you edit them by editing the transcript. It also has several AI features like Studio Sound, Background Removal, Eye Tracking, Autodub, and more. I use it especially for YouTube Shorts.
