![]() ![]() I'm going to bring the Photos App to the front and run through this slideshow and let it go through the six slides with the transitions. I'm going to scroll through this list here and go up to the top. I'm going to do the same things as I did with the other recording. I can also hide this and then use the Menu Bar button here and start recording. Now I can take the rectangle here, that is the whole screen, make sure it's centered here on the scene and now it should record everything. The entire screen, as I have it set now, is this size. But that's actually not the entire screen. Let's go into Settings again and then Video Settings and we can see it set to 1920 by 1080. Now another thing I've got going on is that what it's capturing is a lot bigger than the space here. So it's going to do MP4 H264 quality which is pretty standard. So let's choose high quality medium file size. You can also set the recording quality here. So I could say instead of capturing every pixel I want a certain bit rate. If you want a smaller file size you have to sacrifice some quality. Now I can control the quality of the video. Now you could see this area here is actually showing the entire display like that. I can choose the display and I can choose whether or not to show the cursor. Now you can see it's capturing the display actually creating this interesting infinite effect here because it's capturing itself. I'm going to create a new Display Capture. ![]() Microphones, cameras, all sorts of things. So I'm going to click the Plus button here and I can choose from a variety of sources. Screen Recording doesn't have any sources. There's a bit of a learning curve as you could expect because it's very powerful. It's completely free open-source software. It's like a little broadcast studio on your Mac. If you don't already have this software it's great. If I use Command i, I can see it's a 105 MB. Hide the Photos App and I'm going to Stop the recording. Let me escape out of the slideshow there. So now it's got something to actually record and save. It's going to run through six images with a transition between them. I'm also going to switch to Photos and have a slideshow ready to go. I'm going to scroll down and scroll back up so its got something to record. I'm going to record this display IF2 and now it's recording. I'm going to have No Timer and I'm not going to get any microphone input. Under Options I'm going to have it save it to the Desktop. I'm going to select Record Entire Screen. I'm going to do Shift, Command 5 and it's going to bring up the recording controls here at the bottom. We start off here with a nice big Finder window and open something to record. But first let's try a regular screen recording. So is there an alternative? Well, you can use a third party app and one such app is the free OBS Project Software. It's recording every pixel on your display for every frame. But if you're going to record for 10, 20, 30 minutes your entire screen that file can get huge. If you're just going to record a screen for a few minutes and maybe keep it around temporarily it's no big deal. So this is a question I commonly get asked.
