I need to use a screen recorder for class, so i need this by Monday (hopefully sooner.) When I record all I get is a glitch y video of my mouse moving, whatever I had open in the background so for sure the application, and nothing changes. I have tried simplescreenrecorder, recordmydesktop, and vlc, all had the same problem. I will attach a video of me opening firefox, browsing to openSUSE, closing firefox, opening yast, closing yast, and stopping the recording. I don’t have any clue what this could be, and I really need this to work.[video]https://youtu.be/9GxpxLBcQqw[/video]
Try enabling/disabling hardware acceleration for you GPU.
Another screencasting app you can try
Kazam

Although not packaged for openSUSE, Vokoscreen was highly recommended by a member of my local Linux UG. Its source is posted on github and the install requirements look to be easily provided by the OSS
https://github.com/vkohaupt/vokoscreen
You can also try reducing the frame rate for you capture.
Rule of thumbs are
29fps will almost always guarantee seamless, jitter-free video but can require substantial resources if there is a lot of detail
24fps is on the edge of when you might not have jitter-free video
Decrease your screen resolution so less data needs to be captured and encoded.
If you have multiple machines, you can encode on a machine different than the capturing.
Decrease your audio capture quality as much as possible. In fact at my local Linux UG presentation, audio was captured on a separate, dedicated device and was used as a replacement track for the one captured by the computer.

how would I go about turning off hardware acceleration in gnome 3
Just for the heck of it, I tried using recordmydesktop in icewm (because I already had it installed) and it worked. I don’t know why. I don’t know why GNOME would be a problem.
I still need this to work on GNOME.
Then try Tsu’s recommendations.
It may be because Gnome requires a lot more resources than Icewm. I’d start with hardware acceleration.
So how do I disable hardware acceleration?

Hi
By default GNOME shell has built in recording for webm (saved to
~/Videos), just press ctrl+alt+shift+r to start and same to stop
recording.
