When you have selected what you want to record, click the Start Recording button or press Ctrl + F12 to begin a recording session .

If Flashback Express is minimzed to the system tray, you can also right click on the Flashback Express icon and select Start Recording to begin recording.

Each recording session will begin with a 3,2,1 countdown and recording will then start.

While recording, the dashed frame will change to red and the Recorder Control Bar will appear on the outside of the frame, unless doing a fullscreen recording, in which case it will be minimized to the taskbar. See The Recorder Control Bar for more details.

A recording session can be paused by clicking the button on the control bar or by by pressing F11.

When making a fullscreen recording, the Recorder Control Bar will start off minimized to the taskbar. Click on the FlashBack icon on the taskbar to make the Recorder Control Bar appear on the left side of the screen. Then click the button.

The recording session will automatically be saved when a recording session is stopped. Longer recording sessions may take a little bit of time to save, in which case a progress bar will appear to let you know what is happening.
