Built in screen recorder?

I know that when I bought my Macbook Pro, the guy who helped me pick the right computer showed me that some how he made the screen of the Macbook Pro record, and it wasn't a program, i just came with the Macbook Pro that you see on the tables that you can use. Does anyone know how to accesses this?

Yes, but you need to select the internal microphone by clicking on the little triangle.

IPad Screen Recorder, will it take Apple modifying iOS to make this possible without jailbreaking?

Is there something in IOS that makes it impossible to create a Display / Screen Recorder, without jailbreaking?
I see more and more apps that have built-in screen recording capabilities into their applications. Mostly in Educational Apps and a few drawing apps:
ExplainEverything, ShowMe, ScreenChomp, and Brushes to name a few. However there are no Apps that can create a screencast of you working on your iPad without jailbreaking. Initially I thought it was the lack of mutlitasking but that was mostly taken care of with the iPad 2. Yet there are still no Apps that can perform screen recordings of the iPad.
Apple before every developer attempts to create this within their own Apps some well and some badly, wouldn't it make sense to have an Apple developed or Apple / TechSmith partnership to create an iPad Screen Recording capability in the iPad 1, iPad 2 and all future iPads.
It is a post PC world and I shouldn't have to connect my iPad to my MacBook or PC just to capture my iPad screen (Not just an Image, but real-time screen recording). Even an external piece of hardware small, inexpensivew with either an SD card or SSD Drive for storage that plugs into the iPads and iPhones would be better than nothing. A software App that runs on the iPad is the ideal. So before this type of Universal App can be created, is there something that Apple needs to do or provide hooks for to make this happen.

Hi Sansony,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand you would like to record audio from the headphones you connected to your computer. When recording audio with QuickTime Player, you can choose to use the built-in microphone, an external microphone you’ve connected, or a microphone from a connected Apple display. Please use the following article as a reference.
Mac Basics: QuickTime Player creates, plays, edits, and shares video and audio files
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4024
Clicking the triangle icon gives you additional options, such as letting you choose whether to use the built-in microphone on your Mac, an external microphone you've connected to your Mac, a microphone from a connected Apple display, or the option to simply use no microphone at all. The triangle also allows you to adjust the finished quality of your screen recording, select whether or not your mouse clicks are shown during the recording (the pointer is highlighted when you click), and to select what location (on your Mac) to save your screen recording when finished.
Have a great day,
Joe

Screen Recording Video in QTX Not Smooth/Jerky

Hi. I have been experimenting with the Screen Record function in the Snow Leopard QT version and after I stop the video, the playback is a bit jerky, not smooth frame rate and sometimes the screen flashes on and off to black for about a second. The video records smooth until I check the playback.
What I have tried doing is; play a song in iTunes ver 9.0.2, turn on the Visualizer function, hit the Screen record button and record 2-3 minutes of video.
Any idea on what I might try to correct the glitch? There doesn't seem to be a Preferences that I can find like in QT 7. Not sure how to change settings in QTX.
Thanks for any help. I have a white MacBook, 2.2 GHz, 4GB RAM, 160 GB HD OSX 10.6.1.

If you require interaction you would have to use a full remote desktop solution as Skype doesn't have the functionality. Teamviewer offers this as well as a built-in proprietary recording option but natively converting those files to standard formats usually resorts to using tons of hard drive space requiring additional compression and conversion time to get the size down.
If you want to use Skype and record the desktop session including audio, the best way would be to use 3rd party screen capturing software. This can you can record the whole screen or just parts of it. There are also 3rd party add-ons that will capture the individual Skype streams but I find screen capturing software to be more universal and customizable.

Best Screen Recording Software for Mac?

Looking for recommendations on a good computer screen recording program, as I'm trying to make a tutorial video, and need to be able to record what I am doing on my computer screen.
Would prefer free, but don't mind paying a bit - quality is most important. Any advice would be appreciated - thanks!

2nd vote:
without doubt - Screenflow
why ?
because, it is not only a 'grabber', but it includes an 'editor', drop-dead-simple as iMovie, which includes many features ESPECIALLY made for tutorials - e.g. you can zoom-in after recording without quality-loss, you can change cursor-size, highlite, 'print' pressed keys on screen, add a pic-in-pic (if you like your face in your tuts ) ..
side-note: screen-grabs are off the standards, iM or FinalCut/express support! so, a built-in editor is a ++ ! (the exports/uploads from a SF-project are superb!)
not cheap, but worth every cent!

My recent purchase of QuickTime 7 Pro for Mac OS X upgrade doesn't do "screen record" on my Intel Mac Pro with system 10.6.8. Apple won't accept responsibility and refund my money.

QuickTime 7 doesn't offer that, but the built-in QuickTime X Player does. You may find another use for the key.

Screen Recording - no sound

Hi all,
When I attempt to make a screen recording, the saved recording doesn't have any sound. I have confirmed that both my built-in microphone and an external mic were bringing sound into the system while the screen recording was happening -- I had the Sound menu of System Preferences open during the screen recording to confirm.
So why is no sound recorded in the screen recording?

Disregard the above message! I found the mic preferences in the screen recording window. Sorry!

Quicktime does not have new screen recording option

What happened to Quicktime's new screen recording option?
I wanted to record a video and now the only option I can see is the built-in camera of myself.
I have Mac OSX 10.9.1 with the lastest updates.

I was just about to write about that. For some reason I went back to Qucktime and played the recording of myself
and went to delete it. There in the list I saw "new screen recording" I looked at the "about Quicktime player" and found that it was indeed 10.3 I am not sure what I deed to get that but there it is.
Thx, for verifying .

Advice for Making Screen Recorded Videos for Premiere

I want to use some screen recording software to record some tutorials on using various features of a website. The video will later be imported into CS5.5 where I will edit it, add transitions, titles and voice overs. The final videos will be uploaded to YouTube.
1. Can anyone recommend a size that I should use when recording my screen? Should I start as high as possible and later downconvert?
2. What is a good size to upload to YouTube these days for something like this where I want to make sure the user will be able to see the details of a link, button, etc.?
3. Does Premiere hae any built in way for me to create arrows and use them to point to different parts of my video or will I need to make these in Photoshop and import them into Premiere?
Thanks!!!

I do not edit screen captures, so these are only saved, not personal experience

Screen Recorder Software

Hello
I'm looking for Screen Recorder software for 10.4 - I understand there's a version of Quick Time which actually has a built-in feature to enable 'on-screen' recording. I would also pay for such a software program.
I searched the internet and came up with this, (10.4 Min Syst. Requirement).

Has anyone tried this, or knows where there's a decent program?
Thanx for your help!
Mike

That is the cheapest I've seen, but beware...
* During installation of this download you will be given the option to install Google® Chrome and closely related programs from the NCH Software suite. These are optional and you can select what you want depending on your requirements.
Likely adware as well as the Chrome spyware, & very well may be Intel 10.4 & above only.
I think Quicktime Pro had such an option, good luck finding that though!

Screen Recorder with system audio and mic?

I need a screen recorder that:
1. Is free
2. Can Record System Audio and mic at same time
3. Does not need another app or extension
I know the trick with soundflower and quicktime, but I want something that will do the hard stuff for me.
Thanks

You mean "you do not need to pay". The instructions you link to involve a third party application called SoundFlower.

Screen recorder for 8.1 RT

Hello SkyBlockMason,
If my understanding is right, you want to use the steps recorder in Windows 8.1 RT.
We could take the following steps to open steps recorder:
1. Press “Windows Logo” + “R” keys on the keyboard
2. Type in “psr” in the run command box and press “Enter”.
For more information, please take a look at the following thread similar to this issue.

No audio on new screen recording

I am trying to save Apple's iPod tutorial (http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/tutorials/) on my mac. I have succeeded in capturing the video portion of the tutorial, but there is no audio.
In Quicktime, I select File>New Screen Recording. This gives a Screen Recording screen where I select for Microphone: Built-in Input: Line In; also I select audio play through volume to full. In Safari, I start the tutorial web video and then in QT hit the record button and then select Start Recording. When the web video is finished I hit in QT stop recording in the menu bar. The video is saved in my mac Movie folder. I double-click the saved video and it opens in QT. I hit the QT Play button and the video starts playing but there is no audio. What is wrong? I'd appreciate any help.

This URL can be found in the source code for the web page you referenced above, in the "Activity" window after you select the clip you want
I did this and found the URL given in your EXAMPLE DEFAULT.
This was two separate options:
1) You can open the "View Source" window under the View menu and search the web page source code for all video links (both Guided Tours and TV Ads).
2) The Activity window only loads the reference URL after you select a clip for viewing but you seem to have a handle on this already.
or in the Finder "Info" window for the non-playing downloadable reference file.
It is not clear to me how to do this
If you copy the reference link in the Safari Activity window and paste it to the Safari "Download" window, the file it downloads from this web page will not open directly in the QT Player app. (I.e., you get a "Can't open this file" modal message.) However, if you highlight the MOV icon and open the Finder "Info" window, you can still get the full URL reference that will open in the QT Player "Open URL/Location" File menu option.
NOTE: In many cases the file downloaded directly by the Download window is a normal standalone or reference file which can be opened in the QT Player. Unfortunately, that is not the case for the page you gave.
Use the "Control-Click" shortcut to open the context menu and select the "Copy Link" option for the example default tour link above
I started playing the movie and did a control click but don't get a Copy Link option. Can't I just copy and paste the URL address from the movie window?
Was referring to the "Example" link I posted in my last comment. If you "Control-Click" this link, the "Context" menu contains both "Copy Link" and "Download Linked File" options. The "Copy Link" option is handy for copying the associated link to your system's "Clipboard." If you then open the QT Player app, select the "Open Location/URL" option, you can then use the "Command-V" shortcut to paste the copied link to the QT player for opening. (You can also paste the URL to Safari to open the file via the default plug-in.)
NOTE: On some web sites you can simply "Control-Click" the movie, a poster image, or text link and use the "Download Linked File" option to download a movie file directly. Unfortunely, the ability to do this depends on how the page is coded/resources are located so don't be surprised if you end up with something other than you wanted or expected.
Since I am running OS 10.6.7, if I understand you, I don't need to purchase QT7 Pro to do this.
I assume you can. I can do it under OS 10.6.8 Snow Leopard which allows me to copy the data to a new MOV file container without recompressing the data.

(OSStatus error -108.) | Quicktime Screen Recording

The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -108.)
I receive this error message when attempting to use the "screen recording" function of Quicktime X. Cannot find any information on this specific error besides the fact that it is due to insufficient memory, although I don't believe I actually have a memory issue. The "movie recording" and "audio recording" functions still work. Tried another screen recording program named Voila, and while I can begin to record, after I stop recording I end up with a corrupted file. Strange thing is, I tried a third screen recording program, Debut, a free program, and can successfully record my screen (although the video is choppy/essentially unusable). I have been having trouble with my MacBook since I installed a CUDA driver (now deleted), and so I believe this could be the actual root of the problem. Do I need to install a different graphics driver? Any insight is greatly appreciated.
