When using Snapzy as your screen recorder for Mac, you get features that are usually locked behind a paywall in other apps. It is not just a basic recorder; it is a complete tool for capturing and editing.
Here are the key recording features:
- Multiple Recording Modes: You can record your entire screen, a selected area, or a specific application window .
- System & Microphone Audio: It allows you to include system audio (the sound coming from your Mac) and microphone audio (your voice) in your recordings . This solves the common macOS problem where you can only record microphone audio by default.
- Scrolling Capture: It supports capturing long web pages or documents that require scrolling, which is very useful for tutorials.
After you finish your screen recorder for Mac session, Snapzy allows you to:
- Trim the video: Cut the beginning or end to remove mistakes.
- Adjust quality and dimensions: Optimize the video file size and resolution.
- Edit audio: Adjust the sound levels or edit the audio track.
- Export to multiple formats: Save your final video as a MOV, MP4, or even a GIF.
