==Introduction==
In certain situations, it is required to record on a video file what is displayed on the screen—for instance, to document a procedure or describe how to use a software application. 

By using the well-known [https://imagemagick.org/ ImageMagick suite], this job can be accomplished straightforwardly. This Application Note (AN) shows how to do screen recording on a system running a XELK-based Yocto Linux distribution.
