Recording videos has become an essential part of our daily lives, and Mac users are no exception. Whether it’s for work, school or just for personal reasons, recording videos on a Mac is vital. There are several methods to record video on Mac, and in this article, we’ll cover four of them.

1. QuickTime Player

The QuickTime player is pre-installed on all Macs, and it’s an excellent tool for recording high-quality screen videos.

To start recording, open the QuickTime player and click on “File” in the menubar. Then select “New Screen Recording.” A small recording window will pop up, and you can adjust the recording settings by clicking on the “Option” button.

Once you’re ready to start recording, click on the red record button, and the recording will start after a three-second countdown. You can either click anywhere on the screen to record the whole screen or drag your cursor over a specific area to record only that area.

After you’ve finished the recording, click on the stop button in the menu bar to stop the recording. Your video will be saved to your designated save location as a .MOV file.

2. ScreenFlow

You can adjust the recording settings to suit your needs and click on the red record button to start recording.

ScreenFlow also allows you to record your webcam simultaneously, which makes it a great option for recording tutorial videos, gaming walkthroughs, and more.

Once you’re done recording, simply hit the stop button, and your video will be saved as an MP4 file.
