How to Make a Quicktime Screen Recording with Audio

Are you ready to become a tutorial tycoon? With Quicktime, a free screen recorder and iMovie, a free video editor, anyone can make tutorial videos for free, regardless of their experience level. In this short Quicktime screen recording tutorial, you'll learn how to record your screen, webcam, and audio all at the same time.

To start, return to 'File' in the top toolbar and select 'New Screen Recording.' Your webcam and internal microphone should be the defaults, but you can choose other devices if you're using external equipment. In the Movie Recording window that appears, click the arrow beside the red button to adjust camera and audio settings as necessary.

Under 'File' in the top toolbar, select 'New Movie Recording.' You may know Quicktime as a media player, but it's also a free screen recorder - you can use it to easily capture video and audio. Because you can make screencast videos using two programs that came bundled with your computer, technology is indeed grand.

This allows viewers to see both your beautiful face and your onscreen actions at the same time. Most screen recorders can simultaneously capture your webcam footage and computer screen. You can now play, edit, or share the recording.

To stop recording, click the Stop button in the menu bar, or press Command-Control-Escape (Escape). After you stop recording, QuickTime Player automatically opens the recording. You can also drag to select an area to record, then click Start Recording within that area, or click anywhere on the screen to begin recording the entire screen.

Before starting your recording, you can click the arrow next to the Record button to change the recording settings. To show a black circle around your pointer when you click, choose Show Mouse Clicks in Recording. If you get audio feedback, lower the volume or use headphones with a microphone. To monitor that audio during recording, adjust the volume slider.

To record your voice or other audio with the screen recording, choose a microphone. With these free screen recording tools, anyone can make tutorial videos for free and share them with others. So, whether you're a beginner or an experienced video creator, Quicktime is definitely worth exploring.
