Mobizen is completely free and lets you record and edit videos. It supports resolutions between 240p and 1080p (up to 60FPS), along with input from the front-facing camera so you can be included in the footage. As for editing, you are able to add background music, trim the footage, include video and outro with your signature, split, and extract frames. Pretty basic, but it could be just what you need.
With Telecine, you can capture full resolution videos directly on your phone. The app doesn't have recording controls cluttering up the video or USB debugging notification in your status bar. Rather, you launch an overlay and navigate away from the app. The overlay will remain, allowing you to press record when you are in the target app, then it will disappear while recording. To stop, just press the area where the overlay used to be before it got hidden.
