![]() Now exit Safe Mode by restarting your Mac normally.Delete files by dragging them to the Trash.It is really easy to do, really easy to make quick little clips to demonstrate something to somebody and it's all there in QuickTime Player which you've got on your Mac right now. I can hit the Stop button and I get a QuickTime movie that is that size right there. So if I want to capture just a small area I can certainly do that and I can do it in an unusual size even to create an unusual movie. See the Start Recording button in there but I can drag the edges. So not only do you get to select an area but you get to adjust it. I'm going to show you just one more time how it's done but this time I'm going to click and drag a boxed area. So it is a pretty straight forward easy way to do it. So you can see I've got the trackpad button held down and you can see it puts the circle there to indicate that on the video. Well QuickTime just does that as long as you select that option there that I showed for showing mouse clicks. You'll notice here that I've got, right there, that little black circle I talked about. So when I'm saving it I'm only saving clips that I'm going to use and then I edit them together either in iMovie or FinalCut and that's how I make the videos. That's actually how I make a lot of these podcast episodes is I will record a small segment and if I don't like what I've said or how I've said it or something that was shown on the screen was unexpected I simply don't save it and I start again. Instead now I can actually just see what it is and not save it if I don't want to keep it. I like this method of doing it because instead of saving it as a file and if I don't want to keep it now I have to go and find that file and delete it. It saves it as a pretty compact QuickTime movie. Then I can either Export it or simply just Save it and now I can save it out as a QuickTime movie. I'm not going to do that with this particular one. Like, for instance, I can trim it there so I can get some stuff off the beginning and the end. Now I can actually play it back and I can scrub through it and I can even go and do some standard QuickTime stuff. It instantly opens up what I've recorded inside of QuickTime Player. I can click on that and it stops the recording. You can see I've got this little circle with a box inside of it. I'm going to click here and let's say I want to do something where I'm just showing how I can drag files and folders around there. So let's start by recording the full screen. So let's go ahead and I'm going to hit Record and now I have the option to record the full screen or I can drag for part of the screen. A lot of people notice that there are little circles that appear over the mouse clicks. You can actually click here and select the microphone that you want and also whether or not you want to show mouse clicks while recording, which I do. When you do that you get a little box like this and it shows the microphones being picked up. In the last couple of versions of Mac OS 10 we've got the ability to go File and New Screen Recording. This is the standard QuickTime Player that comes with your Mac and it is something that every Mac has and every version of Mac OS 10 has added features to. Some people don't realize that you can record the screen with QuickTime Player. As a matter of fact I'm using ScreenFlow right now to record the screen because I'm going to demonstrate the way I make most of my videos which is not to use those apps but instead simply to use QuickTime Player. For instance do I use something like ScreenFlow or Camtasia, both of which are excellent screen recording software apps. So I'm often asked how do I record the screen when I'm making the MacMost video podcast. On today's episode let's look at using QuickTime Player to record your screen.
