Best screen recording tool I've used is screen.studio they're awesome!

I mean as far as screen recording goes - the best open source option is OBS For transactions and integrated editing I'm not sure? Premiere pro is only 17 a month with a student discount.

We use Loom and have had a great experience with it thus far- and they launched right here on Product Hunt!

Based on what I have seen, many content creators and professionals use tools like Camtasia, Loom, and Screenflow for screen recording and editing. They offer a range of features for editing, adding annotations, animations and even transactions. You may want to give these a try and see which one best fits your needs.
