Screen Record-Screen Recorder 4+

This is an amazing recorder, don’t get me wrong. Even with my fossil 2010 mac computer, it still hardly lags my gameplay! It’s amazing at that. But should it really take 30 min’s to “convert” a 45 minute video? I mean, That seems kind of impractical. And I’ve been having trouble with the commputer audio being a little off from the actual video itself. Please try and fix that? And Shrinking down a file? Please, more than 2-3 hours to shrink a file 5 gb’s down? Is that normal? Other than that, this software is amazing and definetly reccomended.

After recording a position or fulll screen, I then use Quicktime to open the resultin extremely large 5gb to 20gb .file and cut the the final remake to a workable size, usually 720p. i use 40 fps, which is overkill but the rendered quality, even after downsizing with Quidktime is remarkably better than any other screen & sound recording app I've tested, and believe you me I had to kiss a lot of frogs to finally discover this prince. If you purchase from the Mac Store, then you will need to go to the vendors website and also download a sound app which will allow you to then record more than just the internal microphone.
Yes, there are a few workarounds, which if I had read the directions might have made for a smoother take-off. But who likes (or even has the time) to read a manual when this software is so intuitive.

I switch between several screen recorders as I’ve never been impressed by any of them. The other 3 I use are much more expensive and seem to take too much time for such a simple job. Plus, the others take way too much time to convert from their proprietary format to something useful to me - mp4 (I’m on a speedy MacBook Pro 15 with an i7, 1 Tb of SSD, 16 RAM and 4 GB video).

This app, Screen Record Studio, is super fast to start. I set it up once and it opens ready to click record. The best benefit is that the mp4 output is ready in a half second after I stop recording.

For what it’s worth, the video is smooth on my system even though I use mp4 and the app suggests PCM for better framerates. I guess I’ll try PCM at some point.

Update: this screen recorder works very well for me. Some of the reviewers who complain that the playback is choppy might be making recordings on equipment that is not up to the task. Video recording is somewhat resource intensive.
