How to Improve Video Quality for Website Demos in Premiere Pro?

Question

Hi everyone,
I recently made a demo video for my website, [removed by moderator] showcasing its features and functionality. However, when I reviewed the video, I noticed that the quality isn’t as good as I’d like it to be.
I used a basic screen recording app to capture the footage, but it seems like the resolution or frame rate wasn’t optimal. Now that I’m editing the video in Adobe Premiere Pro, I’m wondering:

What settings or techniques can I use in Premiere Pro to enhance the video quality?
Can anyone recommend a free, high-quality screen recording application for future recordings?

I’d like to ensure my next demo videos are sharp, clear, and professional, especially for showcasing on my website and social media. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance for your help!

OBS can do screen recording at up to whatever the pixel count of the sceen is. You have to set that manually of course. That is one of the more used options for this.

And you want to get as good a quality from the beginning as possible. While you can do a bit of tonal correction/color changes in editing afterwards, screen recordings don't have enough data depth to really take much correction/change without going ugly.
