Record a Screencast on Mac OS X using QuickTime X
With Mac OS X latest incarnation, 10.6 Snow Leopard, however Apple has given everyone a chance to be in the select club of screencasting bloggers.
QuickTime X released with Snow Leopard contains a built-in feature for creating screencasts and uploading them to YouTube. Read on to find out how to make use of this awesome new capability.
Launch QuickTime X from the Applications folder or using Spotlight and Select the New Screen Recording option from the File menu.
Click the red square button and select Start Recording to start recording the video.
Now, you can just go about doing your usual business and all your actions on the computer will be recorded.
When you’re done with the screencast, you can either press the Command+Ctrl+Esc command sequence or click the Stop Recording button in the menu bar.
When you stop recording the video, QuickTime saves it in the Movies folder in the user’s home directory and opens up the video and lets you view it. If you’re satisfied with the quality of the video, you can share it with the world using iTunes, Mobile Me or YouTube. Select the YouTube option from the Share menu.
QuickTime will ask for your YouTube username and password and sign you in to the service. You can now select the Category for the video, add a description, tags and give a Title to the recording. You can even, if you want, mark the video as Personal.
Click Next and Share and QuickTime will export and upload the video to YouTube. YouTube, of course, takes it’s own time to process any video and QuickTime till then, can’t do anything but wait for YouTube to finish.
Once YouTube is finished with the processing, QuickTime displays the link to the YouTube video that you can open to see the video.
