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.
This is about the best tool around for giving you statistics on YouTube videos.
I use this as my primary way of making screenshots. You can save them locally or to the cloud, crop and do other edits, add backgrounds, and more.
