Screen Recorder/Broadcaster that follows the cursor? - Hardware & Software

Does anyone know of a screen broadcaster that can follow the cursor. I'm looking to broadcast on twitch/justin, but I have 3 monitors - so it's kind of hard to show people what's going on. Ideally it will follow the cursor from monitor to monitor, so that people can always see what I'm doing. I've tried xsplit and camtasia so far without any luck.

Camtasia has something called AutoPan.. Doubt OBS can do it with built-in recorder, but I assume you can get some screen recorder that can output to camera so xSplit & OBS can read it.

Googled this. Found this thread. Oh, Google.

I know that Manycam has the ability to show the desktop as a webcam and one of the modes follows the cursor. However the options are fairly limited and I don't think you can change the size or anything like that, and from what I've heard the latest version is bad (I never updated). But you might wanna check it out

what kind of stuff will you be streaming?

I think camtasia's your best bet. You can set it to record a region and then turn on autopan. Set the dimensions to fit one of your monitors and it'll keep stay place vertically and just pan horizontally.

ManyCam does that decently. You can set the resolution of the area around the mouse and such and it will follow it.

I had a look at manycam. It does have the feature I need, but it seems to capture kind of slowly. Like literally about 2fps at 1080

You're able to change that [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/q4fVOvq.png[/IMG]

Change the no force size next to it to the max, then try it. On my computer (which is in no way shit) it records at really low fps.

yeah I see what you're saying, there's a delay, but if manycam is going to follow your mouse around 1024x768 there shouldn't be an issue, not on my end at least

It looks fine to me despite the size, I can read whats on the screen you can turn off the manycam logo btw, go to text or something like that (its in the other tab) and click the box "turn off manycam logo"

It's slooow, confuses the eye!

It seems fine to me, I wouldn't have any issue viewing it.

What about fraps?

Does that track the cursor? I remember using it last time and it being really smooth but I'm not sure if it tracks the cursor
