Joyoshare VidiKit is an all-in-one video kit that aids in every stage of video production from recording a screen to video cutting, merging, repairing, converting it from one format to another, and so on.  No doubt it is one of the popular software among YouTubers, travel vloggers, and even those making entertainment, educational or informational videos for ‘n’ number of platforms. Here’s an honest review on Joyoshare VidiKit as well as how to screen record on Windows and Mac with ease.

The Setup

The first step in answering on how to Record screen in Mac or Windows, converting, merging, cutting, removing, or adding a watermark is to set up the Joyoshare VidiKit first. Turns out it is pretty simple so here’s how it needs to be done.

Firstly, go to Joyoshare VidiKit website → https://www.joyoshare.com/vidikit/Next, select whether you want to download the trial or paid version. Hovering on the buttons on-screen will give you the option of whether to download a free version of Windows or paid one. The same applies to Mac OS.Download the file and click on it to install the same. The installation process on Windows took me 2 minutes max to complete.Launch Joyoshare VidiKit and you will see a tonne of options from Convert, Record, Repair, Others, and a few sub-options within.

Joyoshare VidiKit Features 

Joyoshare VidiKit, as said, is a powerful all-in-one video toolkit with a tonne of features. Here’s a recap of all the features it brings on-board including one of the best screen recorder tools out there.

Screen Recorder

Joyoshare VidiKit is one of the best screen recorder tools on Windows and Mac alike. It lets you select the capture area either fullscreen or you can select any resolution from the dropdown menu as you will. It lets you select whether to record system audio and microphone audio or both and also how much since you can adjust levels of both these audio sources. Hit the settings and you get a tonne of options including format, shortcuts, watermark, cursor options, and many more. 

Audio Recorder

Just like Screen Recorder functionality on Joyoshare VidiKit, it has an Audio Recorder too with the same settings as the former minute the capture area. 

Video Converter

Just like Screen Recorder, Video converter is one of the biggest features on Joyoshare VidiKit as it supports 150+ formats with 60x conversion speed. You can convert videos either one by one or in a batch with ease.

Video Compressor

I tested an 87 MB file to compress by 40 percent and the result was a 5* MB file. I even tried compressing the same file by 99 percent and the result is an 877.79KB file although this doesn’t come without quality loss in proportion to the percentage you select to compress. No doubt VidiKit compresses files at 40x faster than any traditional compressor available out there. You have a dual compression system that allows compression by file size or percentage.

Watermark Wizard

If I am consuming, I am fed up with watermarks on photos and videos. On the contrary, if I am a video producer, I would want my watermark to keep it away from being re-uploaded and to infringe on my copyright. Turns out Joyoshare VidiKit has both features i.e. watermark wizard is available at your disposal. It takes a few seconds/minutes to remove a watermark and even less to add yours on a photo/video. Once you export it, your files will have a watermark of your own.

Video Joiner

Another feature that you will find on Joyoshare VidiKit is quality video merging at 60fps with lossless 1:1 quality support. This ensures that you can merge two or more videos without compromising on the quality.

Video Repair

Another feature on VidiKit is video repair which fixes any erroneous multimedia files that you could have. You can detect what’s wrong and the tool will try to fix at least the majority of the number of files fed to repair if not all. 

Video Cutter

As the name suggests, it lets you trim the videos. You can have a real-time preview of the video to select points to cut and merge on-board Video Cutter.

Media Player

The built-in media player plays almost all formats of multimedia files.

HEIC Converter

VidiKit has a HEIC Converter feature that converts HEIC photos in JPG or PNG as you will.

LivePhoto Converter

Finally, the LivePhoto Converter transforms LivePhoto to GIF with just a tap.
