So does this happen with all screen capture apps or just with the QT X player?Īs to file size, not sure what you are expecting here.

QuickTime continues to block GIMP from redrawing its screen, and its movie file size is huge, so I'll keep scouring for something useful. But then, I rarely use it except when I want/need limit the scratch capture frame rate on partial screen recordings. Since there are so many variables here, it really difficult to discuss matters in concrete terms.Īfter reading recent reviews on Screeny, especially with Mavericks, I am not going to drop $15 on an app that apparently is no longer being supported and crashes frequently.ĭidn't realize there was a problem under Mavericks. (I.e., an inter-frame refresh of the display.) In most cases the frame rate of the capture depends on the CPU power of the system being used, the specific dimensions (resolution) of the capture, the number and type of apps that are open and in use during capture, the type of drive/interface used to write the scratch data, and the format to which the data is compressed for writing. As to 'refreshes' per se, not sure if you are referring to the capture frame rate here or not. Not a GIMP user so I am not familiar with any specific problems. QuickTime also doesn't keep the screen refreshed while recording, so applications such as GIMP don't display correctly during recording.

Simple apps include anything from Screeny ($14.99) which includes a nominal number of 'pop-up' dimension presets in 16:9 and 4:3 aspects to Snapz Pro X ($69) which lets you to set either fixed aspect ratios or fixed dimensions representing any specific aspect ratio. I don't care about any bells and whistles like titles and callouts (that's what Motion and Final Cut are for - note the intentional omission of 'Pro' from the name.). Last night I sampled about a dozen different Mac screen recorders, and none of the ones within my budget provide aspect ratio scaling.

What can I do to record from QuickTime at a literal 16:9 aspect ratio, with 16 being the screen width?ġ) You continue to use the free QT X media player to record an area larger than that which you wish to keep and then use an app like MPEG Streamclip (free) to crop, scale, and re-export the content to the specific dimension and/or aspect ratio desired orĢ) Use an app like ScreenFlow that captures the entire screen and then allows you to crop/define/scale your output to user specified target settings from within the application with or without things like callouts, titles, transitions, freeze frames, clip playback speed changes, annotations, etc.įrankly, if you want or need more professional built-in features, you may wish to invest in a commercial app made to do what you want. If enough people request such features, then Apple may consider the addition of co-ordinate/dimension controls/readouts. You can, however, provide official feedback to Apple requesting such features be added to a future revision of the software. The features to which you refer, as of yet, do not exist. Screen recording is an 'add-on' feature to the QT X media player which is still under development. Dragging a selection area to define a smaller area doesn't provide any dimensions or feedback whatsoever as to the size of the recording area (more 'genius' Apple programming).

Full screen is not the correct aspect ratio for 16:9 and will create an unnecessarily larger movie file due to the 'extra' screen area being recorded. When I try to use the screen recording 'feature' of QuickTime (on Mavericks, the Apple aspiration of Windows Vista), there are no size presets.
