I’ve been playing around with Expression 3 Encoder and Screen Capture and I must say, pretty impressive. The screen capture is extremely easily to use and has build-in support for overlays. In fact, the PIP webcam feature is automatically overlayed onto the video. This makes it easy to include the presenter in a small window, the location of which can be configured.

One thing that surprised me was the recognition that I was running dual monitor and that Expression Screen Capture was able to capture both screens. Wow!

Below are two videos, hosted on Silverlight Streaming, I capture using Expression 3. The video on the left shows the capture of the dual monitors, while the second contains a capture of a high definition video. Unfortunately, Expression 3 Encoder does not support the Publish To Silverlight Streaming option. I had to manually upload the videos to the Silverlight Streaming Service. Hopefully that plug-in will be made available shortly.

To enter full screen mode double click. Likewise, to exit full screen double click again.

Expression 3 has taken video to the next level!
