Hi all, I am doing some technical videos based mainly around VMware. Most of the content in the video will be logged into the vSphere Client or doing commands on command line.

I want to be able to add graphics to the video, such as highlighting certain checkboxes etc. I also want to be able to speed up and slow down certain sections.

I have access to Windows 10 and a Mac, at the start I'll be doing it on Windows but there may be a time when I need to do it on the move so I'd be using my MacBook.

I'm looking for ease of use as I really have never done any editing before and something that preferably works (and licenses) across both platforms. I don't mind paying a fixed fee, up to say £100 or so but if something can do it for free then great.

Destination for the videos will be YouTube and D.Tube.
 
Indeed, this is for simple highlights in a video pointing to check boxes etc, some words/arrows and speed up of parts. If I could cut the audio out and overlay that would be beneficial as I've played back some of my content and I can get a bit rabbit holed.

I'd still recommend screencast-o-matic for that. Its free until you go beyond some video lengths or if you want to get them to host your videos etc.

Saying that even Powerpoint has a record functionality for that kinda thing now.

Yeah I'm going to give it a go at some point and see what it's like. I don't want to invest in for example Windows Photos as I may be away from home and want to do it on my MacBook hence wanting something multi-platform which your recommendation does.
 
I've given screencast-o-matic a try and I like it, thanks for the suggestions. In fact I liked it so much and subscribed for 3 years for €36.
