I believe many people don’t know that the built-in QuickTime Player in Mac system also has a screen recording function. To be honest, I didn’t know it before (Mars). I just happened to see this article on MacStories today and discovered this function. And it's very powerful under Lion.

In fact, QuickTime Player has a screen recording function in the 10.6 era, but the function is very simple and not many people use it. Moreover, this software has not been updated. It has not been upgraded at all since the release of version 10. However, in the Lion system, QuickTime Player has finally been updated to version 10.1. Although the improvements seem to be very small judging from the version number, a large number of new features have been added, such as supporting more codecs, full-screen mode, exporting audio only, and more. Of course, the most powerful one is the screen recording we are going to introduce in this article.

If you want to highlight the position of the mouse click during the recording process, you can check the inverted triangle on the right side of the control interface and check Show during recording Click the mouse, and of course you can also set the microphone input here. For example, when recording a tutorial, you can record while explaining, then you can check the built-in input: external microphone, and you can also set the quality of video recording, etc.

After setting these parameters, you can click the red button. At this time, the program will ask you whether you want to record in full screen or a selected area. If you want to record in full screen, just click the mouse. If you want to record the selected area, For areas, just drag an area with the mouse, and then the recording will officially start.

After the recording is completed, the video will be saved directly in the movie folder (~/Movies) and will automatically start playing.
