What's the best screen recorder for mac? Any recommendation?
I want to share with you a screen recording method that I think is particularly geeky but very convenient, which is to use the command line tool (Terminal) on Mac to record the screen. If you like simple and direct methods, then this method may be the best screen recorder for mac in your eyes:
The specific steps are as follows:
Step 1: Open Terminal
You can find it by searching "Terminal" directly with Spotlight.
Step 2: Start screen recording
Enter the following command to quickly start screen recording:
bash
screencapture -v ~/Desktop/myrecording.mov
After entering, press the Enter key, and a small circle button for recording will appear at the top of the Mac screen. Click it to start recording.
Step 3: Stop screen recording
During the recording process, a stop button (circular button) will appear in the top menu bar. Click it to end the recording.
Tips: ~/Desktop/myrecording.mov can be changed by yourself, such as changing it to screen1.mov.
The quality of the recorded video is the same as that of QuickTime, which is very clear.
If you prefer pure, fast, and don't want to open additional applications, this command line method may be the best screen recorder for mac in your opinion.
I often use this method when I need to record the screen quickly and don't want to open QuickTime. It is definitely one of the best screen recorders for mac in my mind.
