You will, however, need a video converter if you’re looking to export in anything other than MOV format. You can also add clips to the end of a sequence if you’d like to combine your video screen capture with something that you’re referencing. QuickTime at least features some essential editing tools like rotation, splitting, and trimming. With such an app, you can record microphone audio along with sounds from another app. Otherwise, you might need to get an audio feedback app like Loopback to set as your microphone instead. You can put the volume up on your speakers and hold a microphone up to them (or hope your internal mic picks up most of the sound they make).

QuickTime sadly isn’t as good at capturing your computer’s internal sounds. Annotate your screenshot and recording with a text box, highlight, arrow and more. Shoot the entire screen, custom region or fixed region based on your needs. You can select a microphone you plug in, or your Mac’s built-in microphone. If you want a full array of image-editing and video-editing tools, be sure to investigate Screen Recorder software. You’ll see a popup for the video screen capture menu where you can choose the area of the screen you want to capture.ĭo you want to record audio with your QuickTime screen recording? Select the dropdown icon next to the Record button to choose a microphone for adding audio as you do your video recording. Just open QuickTime Player, then go to File > New Screen Recording.
