Is there a way I can zoom in where the cursor is, while screencasting, something like this:



zooming in screencasting



I presently using kazam on Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit for screencasting. Good alternatives which allow this feature are most welcome, but should allow for audio recording as well.



P.S.:




  1. The original video here:




  2. The screencaster I require should record video and not gif, the gif above is only for explaining what I need and is light-weight for AU.


  3. I would like to have the screencaster have its own zooming ability and not application-specific zooming ability, i.e. I can zoom into Firefox using Ctrl++. However, this won't work with all applications, I would like the screencaster to have this ability in itself or a generic zooming ability.

One way to proceed would be to use Compiz and its Zoom Desktop plugin.




The Zoom Desktop plugin offers the ability to zoom in for an enlarged view of the screen. [..] Zoom Desktop works by causing the entire screen to zoom in, effectively giving you a more readable view of a portion of the screen.




Thus you can use compiz as a WM to zoom into portion of the screen while you're recording the screencast.
