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 player screen recording not finishing

    When I try to make a screen recording with sound on Quicktime Player, it gets stuck on "finishing..." after the video is recorded.  I'm working on a school project and really need to get this sorted out.  Anyone know how to fix this?

    I can't help but wonder why they even botherd making the video recording software if they diidn't include audio .
    I tend to consider such features add-ons because to appeal to novice users because the features are incomplete as far as functonality is concerned or too dependent on the CPU power of the platform on which it is used. This is why I tend to use dedicated import and/or screen capture applications. Normally, I would recommend using an app like Snapz Pro X from Ambrosia ($69) but they too are having problems updating or replacing their audio "kernel extension" following system audio changes made in the Lion OS release. ScreenFlow ($99) is another good screen capture app but it includes a number of editing features that many users do not want or for which they are not willing to pay such a high price. I personally amd looking at what, for me, is a new app listed in an article URL posted by QTKirk. The app is called Screenflick and lists for $29. I am interested in it because they claim you can tap into user events like key presses (e.g., use of keyboart shortcuts) and highlight/include them in your captures. (I.e., this would be very handy for the makie of "quickie" tutorials.) In any event, I have not tried this app so I can't yet recommend it based on personal use... but it might be worthing looking at if you plan to purchase such a utility. (And yes, it does claim to support the audio capture of both system audio and/or a user selectable mic source.)

  • Add sound to a quicktime screen recording

    How do I go about doing this? And can I choose between the sound that is internal and external to the computer (i.e. selecting to use my voice instead of internet or computer audio)?

    You already have good suggestions for changing the audio source during recording.
    If you mean how to add or change sound to a screen recording that already has been made,
    you can import the clip into iMovie and do it it there.
    Rather than import to iMovie, I use QuickTime Pro on simple projects:

  • QT Screen Recording made weird sounds

    Earlier today, I tried to  make a screen recording with QT. When I clicked on the Start button, my computer began to make a very strange series of weird electronic "Outer Limits"-like sounds. It happened twice, but hasn't happened again. I was running Adobe Indesign, Mac Mail, and TimeMachine and Sophos Anti-Virus in the background at the time. I have the latest Yosemite release and a Dec 2012 27" iMac. Does anyone know what this might be?
    I wanted to attach a screen movie but the Insert Video button is grayed out. Kinda ironic on a QuickTime forum.

    Access to an expert will usually be better than using Support Communities, or course.
    It's extremely unlikely that you have a virus. However, unexplainable noises are worth investigating. First, keep a written log so you can document when you noticed an issue; describe the problem, and when it happened. Next, make sure you regularly back up your data on an external drive.
    The sound hear might be the fan, but it's hard to tell without more information.

  • Quicktime screen recording sound issue?

    I am trying to do a screen recording using quicktime on an 11 inch macbook air but no sound comes out in my end movie.  What can I trouble shoot?

    I am using OS X 10.9.8 not 10.6.8 as listed above.

  • Screen Recording + Sound

    Hello all,
         I'd love to know which software(s) are most suitable for recording screen actions with the inclusion of sound for voice illustrations on my iMac, in order to make video tutorials and other media with my computer. Or if my iMac itself comes with a default action for that.
    Thanks.

    Quick Time Player, is the one, open it click File click New Screen Recording then click the little dropdown arrow you will see some settings, a good setting for tutorials is Show Mouse Clicks in Recording

  • Sound-Quicktime Player (Screen Recording)

    I'm trying to screen record a football play off ESPN3.  Once I do the actual recording, I cannot hear the sound from the game clip.  Any suggestions why?
    My Mac is 10.7.5 and the version of QTP is 10.1 (501.29).
    Thanks in advance!

  • I was trying to make a new screen recording using quicktimeplay, but when I watched the video after recording it all I could hear was me talking while the video was showing on the screen. How do I turn off that recording and turn the right one on? thanks

    Hi j2399123,
    It sounds like your screen recording is doing what it was designed to do, capture what is happening on your screen, with optional voice over with the microphone.
    Screen recording is for recording what you see on the screen, it is not a "video capture" option, like for capturing a movie with sound that is playing on your screen.
    For the QuickTime recording options, check out "Recording with QuickTime Player" in
    Mac Basics: QuickTime Player creates, plays, edits, and shares video and audio files
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4024
    And for screen recording specifically, there's

    Thank you for thinking of Apple Support Communities for your support needs.

  • Why is Screen Recorder not showing in Quicktime on Snow LEopard?

    I need a screen recorder feature to record some  videos and presentations for uploading onto my website. With all the video and audio features included on OSX 10.6 I expected Quick Time Player to have a screen recorder feature - but no dice. There is no feature on the Quick Time menu. I have Quick Time Pro, iMove ( 09 and 06), the entire iWork suite, on an older MacBook (07) with plenty of RAM.
    I must be missing something.
    Also - will there be sound with this feature? Or must I opt for another app and if so, which one? And where are there tutorials about how best to do this? THe need must be fairly commonplace by now.
    Thanks

    Just found another post that tells me QuickTime Pro doesn't have a screen Recorder Feature. So can QT fromSnow LEopard be uploaded alongside Pro?

  • QuickTime's Screen Recording; Video AND audio?

    Hi, I just now figured out how to use QuickTime player to record footage of my computer screen.
    It works well, but the only problem is, that it doesn't record the sound from the speakers!
    Does anyone know how to fix that?

    stuff man guy wrote:
    no, i know that, but the thing is, there is no setting to just simply record the audio without the use of line-in to the headphone port.
    If you want to record your computer's screen and internal audio, you'll need to use a third-party capture utility such as Ambrosia Software's Snapz Pro. QuickTime X Player, unless there's a workaround I've not come across, does not capture internal audio.

  • Quicktime player screen recording prefs

    Hi,
    Since the upgrade to Mavericks I noticed the screen recording file size has increased by a factor of at least 5.
    In the Lion, I had the option to set the Quality from High to Medium, that option is missing now from the Screen Recording drop down options.
    Looking at previous screen captures, I saw it used about 2.5 FPS, whereas now it uses about 60 FPS. That is most probably what's making the file size so big.
    Is there any way to tweak those options, especially FPS but also the Sound (I need Mono and the default is Stereo).
    Thanks,
    Adrian

  • Quicktime Player unresponsive while screen recording. Help!

    Hello. I often upload youtube videos with QuickTime Player and Final Cut Pro X. 2 days ago, I noticed a problem with quicktime player. Whenever I try to screen record, about 2 mins and 30 secs of recording, QuickTime Player becomes unresponsive. I am running on the new version of OSX Mavericks on a MacBook Pro. Thanks for concerning your time to help me fix this problem.

    Thanks for the tip on the stop record function icon on the top menu bar.  Its disappointing that the new program with Mavericks doesn't keep the the player control box open when you are recording.  This may have been in response to some people complaining that the box can get in the way of the recording, although elsewhere it is said that even though it looks like it gets in the way it actually won't show up in the recording. 
    Regardless of your preference, I think some of us would ideally like to be able to see the window at times so that we can verify that the sound levels are coming through (its a royal pain to record an hour and find out later that no sound was recorded) and to potentially pause recording to remove sections where material is occuring that is of no interest (ie they took a break or need to look for something).  The stop button literally stops the recording and no longer gives you the option to RESUME. 
    The only thing that I found that does work although it is VERY CLUMSY is that if you attempt to quit   Quicktime the window with all the controls will show up.  If you hit cancel that window will stay there and allow you to do what you want.  Now I suspect all the messages that say DO YOU WANT TO END RECORDING are likely to show up in your recording, but I guess you can trim that out.  What would make a lot of sense is for them to have the option to view the control box in the  View pull down menu. 
    Oh well.  Any one else found any other ways to manage the quicktime screen recordings without being able to access the control window?

  • QuickTime X - Screen recording - can't import into FCP 7.0

    Well, the title pretty much says it all.
    I upgraded to Snow Leopard on my MacBookPro 2.4GHzCore2Duo4GB RAM. No problems.
    I ran the new QuickTime X and made a short screen recording. Saved to desktop; I get a .mov file.
    Ran Final Cut Pro 7.0 after recently upgrading to FCS 3, tried to import the screen recording, get error message "File error: unknown file."
    What's up?
    The file can be read by iMovie '09, by the way - not that I would ever use that software.

    Man, I'm wishing it were THAT easy.
    I'm needing to do this exact workflow, and still can't find a way to make FCP happy.
    ATTEMPT #1:
    First, I used QT X to make a two-minute Screen Recording. It creates a file called "Screen Recording.mov" in the Movies folder, with the file's dimensions being the same as my 23" Cinema Display (1920x1200). As we already know -- even though "Get Info" describes this file as simply a "QuickTime movie" using Apple's H.264 codec, something YOU'D THINK would be perfectly compatible with APPLE's flagship professional editing program -- it's not.
    "File Error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown. OK"
    ATTEMPT #2:
    So I quit the new QuickTime, and open the "Screen Recording.mov" file in QT7. I select "Export...", and I go with the default "Movie to QuickTime movie" option (which seems redundant, but the other choices in the pull down list don't look all that appropriate). I give the about-to-be-created new file a revised name, and then QuickTime7 chugs away for several minutes, converting the QuickTime movie QuickTime X created into a QuickTime7 QuickTime movie which hopefully the QuickTime-based FinalCutPro editing program will be gracious enough to import.
    I really hope someone at Apple is taking note of how absurd this all sounds. And that would be okay, if when I then tried to Import this new QuickTime file into FinalCutPro 7, I didn't get the EXACT SAME (and typically unhelpful and uninformative) error message:
    "File Error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown. OK"
    ATTEMPT #3:
    Okay -- an "editable codec". So I once again open the "Screen Recording.mov" file in QT7. I select "Export...", but this time I click on "Options...", then "Settings...", and then for "Compression Type", I select Apple ProRes 422. Hey, that's gotta work, right? It's ProRes -- by Apple. The new codec in which everything's supposed to play together nicely. Why the Timeline I've currently got open is even ProRes422.
    So imagine my delight when I try to Import this latest version of the file (now inflated from 140MB to 1.2GB -- but hey, at least it's gonna work)...
    "File Error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown. OK"
    Well no, it's not OK. And when FCP finally gets the top-to-bottom, under-the-hood AND interface overhaul this one-foot-still-stuck-in-OS9 app so desperately needs, maybe it will at least provide HELPFUL error messages, something like: "Sorry -- this file can't be imported because xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. You can use xxxxxxxxxxxxxx to convert its xxxxxxxxx setting to the required xxxxxxx, or you can try xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx in a new Timeline."
    (And yes, I am a regular contributor to "Apple Feedback".)
    Alright, venting finished. Would now be hugely grateful if someone could translate Apple's cryptic "-- 1 file(s) recognized --" error message into a real-world way to make what should be a straightforward process actually work: just save a simple screen recording, and then use that screen recording in a Final Cut project?
    Thank you!

  • How do I change the settings in quick time player to screen record video using less hard drive space?

    how do I change the settings in quick time player to use less hard drive space when performing a screen record? When I screen record a video lets say from vimeo, QTP seems to use a lot of hard drive space.  Please help.  Are there settings some where to adjust to slim down the video size? Thanks for your input.

    I just did a short SR test, first I exported to 480p, then I saved the file. Now I have 2 files one 11.9mb (export) and the other 42.8mb (save). I then took the save file and performed an export on it to 480p.  Guess what, it saved at 11.9mb.  So it seemed to save me 3/4 of the space.  Lets see what happens with a 17 minute SR.  Thanks!
    Any suggestions on getting the sound louder with the SR?
    For anyone else ever seeing this post, for me the best was using an external speaker whether wired or bluetooth, facing the left side of the computer where the internal mic hole is.   Good Luck!

  • Full screen record in quicktime

    How do I get Quicktime to record a full screen video that is already in the full screen mode.    I "simply" want to know the sequence of how to engage Quicktime to record a full screen video if that's possible.
