# Screen Recorder: Cropped Desktop Capture You generate and run a small PowerShell tool that records a user-selected rectangle of the Windows desktop to a silent MP4. The headline feature is a drag-to-crop overlay: the user drags a box over any part of the screen, records, and clicks Stop to save a valid, seekable video. This skill is **Windows only** and needs **FFmpeg on PATH**. It records video only (silent) in v1. Microphone and system audio are documented as future toggles at the end of this file. ## Step 1: Confirm the environment 1. Check the OS is Windows. If not, tell the user this v1 is Windows-only and stop. 2. Check FFmpeg is installed: run `ffmpeg -version`. If it is missing, tell the user to install it and reopen the terminal: ``` winget install Gyan.FFmpeg ``` (or download a build from https://ffmpeg.org/download.html). The script also checks this and prints the same hint, so you can also just run the script and let it report. ## Step 2: Ask what they want (only if unclear) Most users just want to drag and record. Only ask if relevant: - **Region**: drag-to-crop (default), full screen, or exact coordinates `x,y,w,h`? - **Frame rate**: default 30 fps (smooth). 60 for fast motion, 15 for smaller files. - **Where to save**: default `.\recordings\`. If they just say "record my screen", go straight to the default: drag-to-crop, 30 fps, `.\recordings\`. ## Step 3: Write the recorder script Write the script below to `record-screen.ps1` in th
