Are you searching for Free Screen Recorder????.. STOP!! - Build your own with Python

 Recently I have been searching for a video recorder to make some videos for my YouTube Channel. Most of them were with different packages and pricing suddenly I thought Let's build one.

As I started I realized it is not that simple..JK
I wanted to make it simple as it can be. 
My requirements were just capturing screen only no sound. So I started with pyautogui package and started taking screen shoots.

    # Take screenshot using PyAutoGUI 

    img = pyautogui.screenshot() 

for video file I used CV2 package and make a video codec and file with current time stamp title in the directory.

    fourcc = cv2.VideoWriter_fourcc(*"MJPG")

    now = datetime.now()

    current_time = now.strftime("%H_%M_%S")

    # print current_time

    # create the video write object

    out = cv2.VideoWriter("recording_"+current_time+".avi", fourcc, 10, (1366, 768))

The thing taking those screenshots and aligning them to array so numpy package imported 

        # Convert the screenshot to a numpy array 

        frame = np.array(img) 

now mapping this array to the file we have created earlier for video creation.

        # Convert it from BGR(Blue, Green, Red) to 

        # RGB(Red, Green, Blue) 

        frame = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)

    

        # Write it to the output file 

        out.write(frame) 

                                                               Isn't this so simple 

This will start recording screen and converting screenshot to a video right away. using this I have implemented a video recording App with Tinker package which works as a stop watch where you begin clock it will start recording and pause and resume as well.
here is the video for you.

Happy Coding👦👦👦👦
