How To Screen Record On Mac (UPDATED Mac Screen Capture Tutorial!)

[@PAULMEYERSNorthBay]

I've been on a MacBook for over 15 years and had no idea that natively you could record your webcam and screen using QuickTime - - hats off for that amazing tip. Thank you.

[@PrimalVideo]

You're welcome, cheers 😊 - Hazel, PV Team

[@Alltime2050]

It records whatever video I'm running on the Mac but without sound. None of these tutorials cover that. All of them seem to show how to record a static screen as well. WTF is up with that?

[@marvinpalmerjr5861]

You have to turn mic on in options

[@sidepieceseason1414]

Very helpful to me. Thank you!

[@PrimalVideo]

Thank you so much for the super thanks!! Justin.

[@joshcasticshow]

But how do record the screen audio because it doesn't do that.

[@cyrildixon4997]

@joshcasticshow see my post above and watch video describing how to use BlackHole to record computer audio.

[@zoutewand]

Gotta keep it simple. Use audacity to record your mic and simply plug a cable from the speaker jack to the mic jack. Voila. Ez

[@SzewLawGroupInc]

Love your videos!! So informative and easy to understand. I watch all the time. Thank you!!

Hey .. thanks a lot for sharing the valuable insights. Can you please make some video on how to use different screen recording software for Mac using chrome key for making lectures…

[@flaviafu3703]

Thanks for your tutorial! Just want to share that '1001 Record' in the Mac App Store is an option I've been using for internal audio recording.

Quick question - What software/website did you use to create your intro split screen at the beginning of THIS video (first 10 seconds)? Looking for both static photos or videos that have that angled look. Love your videos - extremely helpful and inspiring! Thanks in advance!

[@WayneLyons]

Can you record streamed audio with the videos using the built Mac software? I tried capturing a short video without a microphone but there was no sound.

[@sakuversall]

did you ever find a solution...

[@WayneLyons]

Not using the built Apple software unfortunately@@sakuversall

[@marvinpalmerjr5861]

​@@sakuversallyou have to choose the correct microphone in options

I’m totally new in video recording and I need to record my Mac screen, camera and audio in order to create tech tutorials. Should I start from this tools? Lot of people recommended me to go for OBS. Thanks in advance and regards from Argentina

Is there any workaround to hide the cursor when recording with QuickTime Player? Thanks so much for the video

[@pianoguy5929]

I have followed these instructions, but to no avail. Now I cannot get playback on my computer at all. Have these instructions been tested with Mac M1s running Sonoma 14.4.1? I cannot even find Blackhole in order to uninstall it. Help please! Thanks.

[@touleyzer]

THANKS SO MUCH!! i've been into editing and even though I have a software, I didn't know how to get the actual clips lol. this video was really easy to understand and made it really easy. thanks !!

QUESTION: I am using: -- Rode NT USB Mini mic with headphone port in the back -- Logitech Brio 4K Camera. -- MEE audio M6 Sport Wired Earbuds, Noise Isolating In-Ear Headphones I joined a Zoom session on my MacBook Pro 2021 with the MEE connected (3.5mm to 3.5mm). I recorded the Zoom Meeting with QT (New Screen Recording), and when I played back the recorded video, my choice was the only sound. I know that if I disconnect the headphones, I will hear the voices of the Zoom Participants. What am I doing wrong?

[@thepaulaclarkgroup]

this is ez and great. but I have no sound... is there a button that says record the sound as well

[@TanvisSpace]

Very nice 😂! I've always wanted to find a way to do this.

[@PrimalVideo]

Thanks - Hazel, PV Team

[@parsasamandi569]

[@PrimalVideo]

Nice, glad you liked it 👍 - Hazel, PV Team

[@ladyfermenter-ThanksAPint]

Can you move the first options to imovie to edit?

[@harveyhouston1417]

I join the choir: OBS is the GOAT. Steep learning curve? Totally, but also totally FREE and FULL-FEATURED. It was left out but it should always find its way in.

[@Mahiminn]

Can you please help me which app is best for screen recording and how to connect ipad to macbook while screen recording. ( from kerala india)

[@lancelot222]

Is there any reason(s) you'd want to use Loom over Tella?

[@MrGheller]

I'm interested in this as well.

[@saravananp5798]

Great video on Mac screen recording! How about Vmaker Screen Recorder for Mac? I'm looking for a screen recorder with a built-in video editor. Any Vmaker users here to share your experience?

[@melissabeecy-mw6be]

How can I share the video with one of the first two method's you showed? I used the method (my built in screen recording on Mac) and I tired to share it but it says it's not the correct format?!

[@QuiltersHandyman]

The basic recorder doesn't include audio does it? for me that is important.

[@anothercharacter]

If I record my screen with any of this softwares, is it possible to export and import into final cut or premiere to have more control over the editing? I’m wondering over the workflow as I really want to edit in those more advanced to be able to work more with color grading, transitions etc. What software would you recommend for this? Not sure about the best workflow for this and am greatful for your input! Thanks for the video!

[@WondershareDemoCreator]

Hello there! Thank you for your question. Absolutely, you can export the recorded clips from DemoCreator and seamlessly import them into your preferred video editor for additional edits. Alternatively, you can explore our built-in editor and discover an array of video effects in our SFX store, where I'm sure you'll find something that will exceed your expectations.😁

[@juancarlosguzman2827]

I can see Tella is a very powerful software. My question is with Tella can I do annotation or marking with arrows like you do when describing an important part of the clip? Thank you for sharing very helpful

[@PrimalVideo]

Yes you can 👍

[@wildpatagoniafilms16]

Another great post! 👏 So if I need to for example record trailers of films or commercials to use for my classes I can use any of these options, and they all can record the screen in high quality with sound as well... Also: I can use any of to record content fro my on line classes...? (which then will be uploaded to the online course...) Thank you!

[@WondershareDemoCreator]

looking forward to your great works made with DemoCreator🤗 Don't hesitate to share your feedback with us; we're here to make your experience even better.💜

[@StephanieSchoap-e5u]

I can't find any volume control. I recorded the screen recording but am getting no volume when watching my recording,

[@GrinScar]

I need a ask a question, is it better to have a separate KZbin account for your brand or to you use your personal account for that?.

[@blossombluestudios8894]

Thank you I appreciate the help :) You are easy to follow

when i record (using cm+shft 5) it only records for a second for a few seconds im not sure why.

[@micwarmington1]

using simplw quicktime player - how do you set for recording the audio ?

[@michaelprine3836]

Tried the built-in recording option, when I hit record the video stream area turns black & doesn’t record. Noticed you only record your desktop, not streaming content. BTW anything other than the stream DOES record (dock, desktop, menu bar).Am I doing something wrong? Thanks-

[@Chickenwing1535]

me question is is wonder share free on mac or is it payed beacuse in the site it doesent give to much info on that

Do these record the audio as well?

[@WondershareDemoCreator]

Hi Andrew! Yes definitely, you can record your screen, system audio, microphone audio and webcam at the same time, detailed tutorial can watch from 6:14😁

[@TellaHQ]

Yup, with Tella you can capture your mic's audio and the audio coming from your computer.

[@Cyber11416]

I'm kind of worried because I got a copyright strike on a video so I deleted it, but I re uploaded it because I thought it was a mistake. Now do I have 2 copyright claims even if it's the same video?😢😢

[@MarcBossYT]

OBS has left the chat

[@CorineCles]

How do you appear on the bar below (transparency effect) ? How do you do that. Very informative video thanks.

[@PrimalVideo]

Thank you! We recorded those clips on a green screen, then placed them over the footage here :)

[@Aakashiyana]

Bro how to pause the screen recording in macbook air ?

[@MrGheller]

Justin, mate, Democreator or Tella now December 2023? Which one and why? (Mac user) Thanks brother

[@PrimalVideo]

The two while similar do serve different needs with different features and workflow. I’ve been using tells quite a bit lately but also impressed with Descript for screen recording now too. Hope you’re well mate. Justin.

[@MrGheller]

​@@PrimalVideoOka, so Tella over Democreator but potentially Descript (for screen recording) over Tella now, correct?? Send my regards to your bro and the rest of the team over there. Hugs from Miami, FL.

[@fatmayildizakcicek]

how can I record screen without keyboard voices? Thank you

[@StephanieSchoap-e5u]

It also totally freezes up my Mac. I could not get to force quit the mouse quit responding. I had to just hard quit to get the QuickTime app to stop.

[@suryaraochowdarykoduri]

I thought you'd include opensource software like OBS Studio

[@carrieng4272]

how do you zoom in/out while you are screen recording on mac?

[@PrimalVideo]

A lot of the tools make it easy for you to do that afterwards once you’ve stopped recording. Justin.

[@lairdpage]

Great video once again Justin. Perhaps a silly question but I have a 32" Monitor and of course don't want record the whole screen. However, this is where I get confused! How do you know what ration to record a selected area on my screen for KZbin? Secondly, how do I go about recording this area? Would it be better to simply use my MacBook Air ?

[@WondershareDemoCreator]

Hi there!You can use DemoCreator Video Recorder, there are preset screen recording areas for multiple social media platforms, definitely includes KZbin video option. Learn more here: bit.ly/3Ca7zwH

[@TheStudioFreq]

Cool vid, Thanks! I'm only getting mono recordings of my computer audio. Any suggestions?

[@PrimalVideo]

You can always convert mono audio back to stereo in a lot of editing programs if needed Justin.

[@ProAudioIQ]

Thanks, I’m a full-time recording engineer and with those programs you mentioned I can take a mono file and have it playback in both left and right channels, but it’s still only dual mono which means we are still in mono. Meaning, if it’s captured in mono, there’s no way to make it stereo like the original. Just dual mono . Have you found a way to successfully capture stereo music in your process?

[@rcportilho]

hi, someone, please know how to pause and resume recording on quick time?

[@eddu4361]

My conclusion after watching this? Screenflow still the standard, the number one.

[@leddie4101]

This doesn't work well on the Mac Studio with a Studio Display. Also, after removing the demo copy, I changed the output back to the Studio Display speakers and they did not get reset properly. So, I had to reboot and also shut down, and then make the appropriate changes again in the System settings to make the Studio Displays work. Performance is kind of slow too. ScreenFlow, another Mac screen recorder, is much better.

[@Vladyyy]

But how do you screen record in HDR is the question?? OBS has some setting but you can't change the "scene" to the right color space like you can on Windows so the HDR looks completely off on Mac.

[@PrimalVideo]

I can't say I've really heard of many apps or tools doing that yet

[@Bareeralifestyle786]

Good

[@PrimalVideo]

Thanks - Hazel, PV Team

Why it cannot record the system sound :(

[@RayoBeatz]

dude thank you so much can i buy you a coffee as thanks? i liked and subbed to help you out but you have no idea how much you just helped me it might sound dumb but i could not figure out how to make quicktime work. but thanks to you now i got it working.

[@Everyday-man]

Screen recording on MacOs is ridiculous tbh. The iPad has a native one recorder that can get audio from internal and external, MacBooks doesn’t without extra steps. There doesn’t appear to be a simple cheap app to do this also.

why do u have to make 20 mins video to show something should not even take 2 mins?

[@robertf57]

DemoCreator is just awful. The UI makes no sense. Their UI is so big it takes up 1/4 of your screen. The adjustable purple capture frame will be half on-screen and half off and there's no way to adjust it. Terrible experience.

[@draloncouch]

What a waste of time. Demos, with limitations are not "free"
