Capturing game footage: Difference between revisions

Simply choose File>New Screen Recording. You will be prompted to select a region of the screen to record, which still leaves you the challenge of precisely capturing the window's region (you may find OS X's Zoom feature, under the Accessibility preferences, helpful for making a precise selection). Like OBS, QT Player also will not record system sound without additional help; see below. If you use one of those methods to direct the game's sound output back into the computer, then make sure you also select this input source in QT Player's window by bringing up the pop-up menu using the arrow next to the Record button and choosing the right "Microphone" setting. You must also make sure that the volume slider is set properly, since it controls the volume of the <u>input</u> that it will record; it should not be at the lowest point, but if it is set too high, it causes echoes. After opening the Screen Recording window, you can test-play the output from the game to make sure that no echoes are occurring before you begin recording.
