Screen Recorder by FrozenSolstice April 13, 2015 at 10:04 AM UTC

Hey guys!

Just yesterday, my trial version of Camtasia Studio ran out, and it was the only screen recorder I had that recorded both sound from the game I was running and my internal speakers. Does anyone know a good screen recorder like Camtasia that runs on Mac?

I'd go ahead and download a crack, but, people that know me understand that I very rarely click on links I know well.

So, thanks in advance!

Would you be willing to pay money for one or just a free downloadable one?

Since I'm a scab, I'd prefer a free one, or a cracked version of a paid one.

The cracked version would be my last resort, however :)

Doesn't the MAC come with one already? I believe it's called Quicktime or something.

Screenium. You need a code though. When I had a mac i got a code off youtube. Hope this helped.

Yes, QuickTime Player however for me it records in 360p :/

Yeah, it's awesome.
But RIP system sound :/

@Areosmith Awesome! Thanks a ton :)

Although I'd like to get a few more opinions :)

Petlas April 13, 2015 at 10:04 AM UTC

Since I'm more of a scrub than most of you, I just use QuickTime ^ Just easy and simple. Might not have the highest resolution, but it's fine by me.

Aerosmith April 13, 2015 at 10:04 AM UTC

No problem

PokerFace April 13, 2015 at 10:04 AM UTC

There's also this thing called OBS. I forgot stuff about it but, I know it's free.

Just re - renew the camtasia trial eZ

I recommend screenflow. I can give you a cracked version of skype if you want.
Quicktime for mac doesn't drop your FPS that much but the quality is generally shit.
Plus with screenflow you can do basic editing. Although with movie editing if you really want to go all out I recommend Sony vegas pro (but that's complicated asf)

I use fraps, except it lags bad computers and takes up hundreds of gigabytes :(

Eteh April 13, 2015 at 1:04 PM UTC

Like what Sho said, Screenflow would be a good recording system for Mac.

Sorry, I'm using Windows, thus I don't know much :P

I thought fraps was strictly windows. Never tried it, but if you know, well there ya go.

It might be, I don't know :/

Personally, I use a potato adapter.

Basically, you can buy a potato adapter here: www.amazon.com/ID=PotAtoAd4pt3r!?/buy.
Once you have that, buy a sack of potatoes (Around $5-10) and plug in ONE potato.
You'll need 2USB's, 1 for getting data to the potato, one to export from the potato.
Alright, done that, here's some "benchmarks".

30 FPS usual = 0 FPS
60 FPS usual = 0 FPS
120 FPS Usual = 4 FPS
400-100 FPS Usual = 50 FPS
Recording has never been easier, Carrots being developed as we speak.

Nu, nu, nu
If you want to, you can easily keep Camtasia using this video :3

Is this legit?

With the potato adapter, I have 1440p videos (all at 60fps)
and with my GTX 980 I drop from 800 to 40-50 fps :)

And since the potato has an "auto-compress" feature, with 10 seconds of footage (2GB) can be easily converted to 1955 MB ;)
