Starting a 2nd screen recording whilst the first one saves

Hi all

I need to complete several simulations tomorrow, which all need to be done on 1 laptop. Can you begin a 2nd screen recording whilst the first is still saving please? I know this will likely mean opening in a separate project but that's fine as they will be different modules. Recordings are likely to be anywhere between 5-30 mins each.
Many thanks :)

  • The theory is good. You can open another project (what computer people call an second instance) and they run on your laptop like two separate apps. The only problem I foresee is that if they stress your machine’s capabilities, there could be a gap in the recording. You’ll just have to try it, and hopefully, it goes well for you.

    Thanks Walt. That was my initial thought. I imagine it is quite hungry but may need to try and see what happens.

    I appreciate your thoughts :)
