MacOS Mojave包含一个名为Screenshot的新应用程序，旨在统一屏幕截图和屏幕(screenshot and screen)录制功能。Screenshot应用程序具有直观的叠加界面(overlay interface)，无论您是创建教程还是与技术支持分享您的经验，都可以比以往更轻松地对屏幕进行视频录制。在本指南中，我们将向您展示如何在 Mac 上使用Screenshot应用程序录制屏幕视频：
注意：(NOTE:)本指南涵盖 macOS Mojave或更新版本。我们指南中共享的功能不适用于旧版本的 macOS。
如何在 macOS Mojave中访问(Mojave)屏幕截图应用程序(Screenshot app)
在Mac OS中访问(Mac OS)Screenshot应用程序有很多方法，我们将在如何(How)使用Screenshot应用程序在(Screenshot app)Mac上截取屏幕截图中进行介绍。然而，最简单的方法是使用默认的键盘快捷键(default keyboard shortcut)：Command (⌘)-Shift-5。按(Press)这些键，应用程序将打开。
启动应用程序后，屏幕底部会显示一个工具栏。您可以将鼠标悬停在工具栏中的每个按钮上，以简要了解其功能。您还可以抓住工具栏（左侧边缘(left-hand side edge)允许最佳抓握）将其拖动到屏幕上的其他位置。
如何录制Mac的整个屏幕(Mac)
单击工具栏第二部分的“记录整个屏幕”("Record Entire Screen")按钮，将您的指针变成一个小相机。接下来(Next)，按键盘上的Return键，单击录制(Record)或单击或点击(click or tap)屏幕上的任意位置开始创建视频录制(video recording)。
重要提示：(IMPORTANT:)如果您使用多台显示器，请在屏幕内部单击以开始录制该屏幕。如果您在使用多台显示器时按录制(Record)，下拉菜单会要求您选择要录制的显示器。
为确保您做出正确的选择，您可以将鼠标悬停在每个选项上：相应的显示会突出显示，而其他显示会变暗。
开始录制时，Mac的菜单栏中会出现一个(menu bar)停止(Stop)按钮，位于屏幕的右上方。捕捉到要在视频中录制的内容后，单击“停止”(Stop)按钮以保存录制内容。
如何录制屏幕的一部分
单击屏幕截图工具栏中的“(Screenshot)记录所选部分”(Record Selected Portion")按钮，您可以在屏幕上绘制一个框架，并创建一个记录框架内发生的事情。
如果看不到任何框架，您的指针会变成十字准线，让您可以选择屏幕上的一个区域。此操作会自动为选定区域加框。在框架内，指针会变成一只小手，让您可以单击并拖动目标区域(target area)。将指针移动到框架边缘会将其转换为箭头，允许您拖动边缘并调整录制区域。当您对您的选择感到满意时，请按键盘上的Return键，或者单击或点击“屏幕截图”工具栏上的“(Screenshot)录制”(Record)按钮。
框区域开始录制。要停止屏幕录制并保存文件，您可以按顶部菜单栏中的“(menu bar)停止”(Stop)按钮，或使用快捷键Command (⌘)-Shift-5再次调出(Command (⌘)-Shift-5)屏幕截图(Screenshot)工具栏，然后按“停止屏幕录制”("Stop Screen Recording")按钮显示在那里。
注意：(NOTE:)为了演示此功能及其可能的用途（以及他对我以良好的眼光描绘他的信任😀(light 😀)），我们的主编 Ciprian(chief-editor Ciprian)允许我在本教程中使用他的YouTube 处女作视频(YouTube debut video)。我尽我所能在有趣的情况下捕捉到他。我希望你和他都喜欢我的拖钓尝试(trolling attempt)。🙂
如何自定义录制视频的方式(way video)
在Mac(Mac)上录制的视频屏幕(video screen)录制会自动保存为QuickTime MOV文件，格式为“屏幕录制日期为 time.mov”。("Screen Recording date at time.mov.")例如，如果您看到名为“Screen Recording 2019-03-18 at 09.36.26.mov”的文件，("Screen Recording 2019-03-18 at 09.36.26.mov",)则表示屏幕录制(screen recording)于 2019 年 3 月 15日(March)09:36:26 开始。
如果您想自定义在Mac上录制屏幕视频的方式，请单击_Screenshot_ 应用程序(_Screenshot_ app)中的_Options_ 按钮(_Options_ button)。打开的菜单允许您更改多项设置。让我们一一解释：
- 保存到(Save to)- 您可以选择保存屏幕录像(screen video)的位置。默认情况下，它们会保存到您的桌面(Desktop)，但您可以选择文档(Documents)或您选择的自定义文件夹。其他有用的保存位置包括邮件(Mail)和消息(Messages)等应用程序，使您能够快速将屏幕录制发送给其他人。如果选择了QuickTime Player，屏幕录制将随此应用程序一起打开，为您提供更多选项。
- 计时器(Timer)- 此部分允许您为屏幕录制设置延迟。您可以选择“无(None)”立即开始录制，也可以在单击“录制”(Record)按钮后选择5或10 秒的延迟。(10 seconds)如果您选择在屏幕录制开始时延迟，则“录制”(Record)按钮旁边会显示一个带有延迟持续时间的计时器。点击录制后，会出现倒计时，倒计时完成后开始录屏。将鼠标悬停在倒计时上，您可以选择取消(Cancel)录制。
- 麦克风(Microphone)- 此部分允许您将音频添加到屏幕录制中。如果您不希望您的录音包含音频，请选择无。(None)如果您选择“内置麦克风”选项（或连接到(Built-in Microphone)Mac的可用录音设备之一），您可以在进行屏幕录制时录制您的语音或其他音频。
最后一部分名为Options，它包括三个设置：
- 显示浮动缩略图- 选择此选项后，您刚刚制作的屏幕录制的缩略图会在(Show Floating Thumbnail)录制停止(recording stops)后立即在屏幕的右下方显示几秒钟。如果您希望浮动缩略图更快消失，可以将其向右滑动，或者可以拖动它以将该特定屏幕录制移动到另一个位置。单击缩略图会打开录制文件，让您可以在保存或共享之前对其进行修剪。
- 记住上次选择(Remember Last Selection)- 启用后，当使用“录制选定部分”("Record Selected Portion")选项时，此选项会记住您之前的屏幕录制选择的确切位置。当您记录在屏幕同一部分不断发生的事件时，它很有用，例如错误或朋友的网络摄像头源。禁用此选项时，单击“记录选定部分”("Record Selected Portion")按钮时没有可见的框架。
- 显示鼠标点击(Show Mouse Clicks)- 启用此选项后，每次点击时，鼠标点击都会在屏幕录制中以围绕光标的圆圈的形式出现。

How to record the screen of your Mac with the Screenshot app
MacOS Mojavе includes a new app called Screenshot, designed to unify the screenshot and screen recording features. The Screenshot app has an intuitive overlay interface and makes it easier than ever to make video recordings of your screen, whether you are creating tutorials or sharing your experiences with tech support. In this guide, we show you how to use the Screenshot app to record a video of the screen, on your Mac:
NOTE: This guide covers macOS Mojave or newer. The functions shared in our guide do not work on older versions of macOS.
How to access the Screenshot app in macOS Mojave
There are many ways to access the Screenshot app in Mac OS, and we cover them in How to take screenshots on your Mac with the Screenshot app. The easiest, however, is to use the default keyboard shortcut: Command (⌘)-Shift-5. Press these keys and the app opens.
After launching the app, a toolbar is displayed at the bottom of your screen. You can hover over each button in the toolbar to get a short description of what it does. You can also grab the toolbar (the left-hand side edge allows for the best grip) to drag it somewhere else on your screen.
How to record the entire screen of a Mac
Clicking the "Record Entire Screen" button, from the second section of the toolbar, transforms your pointer into a small camera. Next, either press Return on your keyboard, click Record or click or tap anywhere on the screen to start creating a video recording.
IMPORTANT: If you use multiple displays, click inside a screen to start recording that screen. If you press Record while using multiple displays, a drop-down menu asks you to select the display you wish to record.
To ensure you make the correct selection, you can hover over each option: the corresponding display becomes highlighted, while the other(s) become dark.
When your recording starts, a Stop button appears in your Mac's menu bar, in the upper right section of the screen. Once you captured what you wanted to record in your video, click the Stop button to save the recording.
How to record a portion of your screen
Clicking the "Record Selected Portion" button from the Screenshot toolbar allows you to draw a frame on the screen, and create a recording of what is happening inside the frame.
If no frame is visible, your pointer turns into a crosshair, allowing you to select an area on the screen. This action automatically frames the selected area. Inside the frame, the pointer transforms into a small hand, allowing you to click and drag the target area. Moving the pointer to the frame edges transforms it into arrows, allowing you to drag the edges and adjust the area of the recording. When you are satisfied with your selection, press Return on your keyboard, or click or tap the Record button on the Screenshot toolbar.
The recording starts for the framed area. To stop the screen recording and save your file, you can either press the Stop button in the menu bar on the top, or bring up the Screenshot toolbar again, with the shortcut Command (⌘)-Shift-5, and press the "Stop Screen Recording" button displayed there.
NOTE: To demonstrate this feature and its possible uses (together with his trust in me portraying him in a good light 😀 ), our chief-editor Ciprian has allowed me to use his YouTube debut video for this tutorial. I did my best to capture him in funny situations. I hope that both you and he enjoyed my trolling attempt. 🙂
How to customize the way video recordings are made
The video screen recordings made on your Mac are saved automatically as QuickTime MOV files with the format "Screen Recording date at time.mov." For example, if you see a file named "Screen Recording 2019-03-18 at 09.36.26.mov", that means the screen recording was started on the fifteenth of March, 2019, at 09:36:26.
If you want to customize how screen video recordings are made on your Mac, click the _Options_ button in the _Screenshot_ app. The menu that opens allows you to change several settings. Let's explain them one by one:
- Save to - you can choose where your screen video recordings are saved. By default, they are saved to your Desktop, but you can choose Documents or a custom folder of your choosing. Other useful saving locations include apps like Mail and Messages, enabling you to send the screen recording to someone else quickly. If QuickTime Player is selected, the screen recording opens with this app, giving you further options.
- Timer - this section allows you to set a delay for your screen recordings. You can choose None to start recording immediately, or you can select a delay of 5 or 10 seconds after clicking the Record button. If you select to delay the moment your screen recording starts, a timer with the duration of the delay is displayed next to the Record button. After clicking to record, a countdown appears, and your screen recording starts when the countdown completes. Hovering over the countdown gives you the option to Cancel the recording.
- Microphone - this section allows you to add audio to your screen recordings. Choose None if you do not want your recordings to include audio. If you select the Built-in Microphone option (or one of the available audio recording devices connected to your Mac), you can record your voice or other audio when making the screen recording.
The last section is named Options, and it includes three settings:
- Show Floating Thumbnail - when this option is selected, a thumbnail of the screen recording you just made appears for a few seconds in the lower right section of the screen, as soon as the recording stops. The floating thumbnail can be swiped away to the right if you want it to disappear faster, or it can be dragged to move that particular screen recording to another location. Clicking the thumbnail opens the recording, giving you the option to trim it, before saving or sharing it.
- Remember Last Selection - when enabled, this option remembers the exact location of your previous screen recording selection, when using the "Record Selected Portion" option. It is useful when you are recording an event that keeps happening in the same section of the screen, like an error or a friend's webcam feed. When this option is disabled, there is no frame visible when you click the "Record Selected Portion" button.
- Show Mouse Clicks - when this option is enabled, mouse clicks become visible in the screen recording in the form of a circle surrounding your cursor every time you click.
How do you insert fun into your daily job?
If you took the time to read this entire guide and you are still with us, thank you! We appreciate it, and we hope you enjoyed reading it as much as we enjoyed writing it. Speaking of enjoyable moments, we took this opportunity to troll our chief-editor a bit, taking advantage of both his busy schedule and his permission to use a video he is featured in. It took us significantly longer to capture unflattering images of him to include in this tutorial, but we encourage everyone to find joy in their daily job. Before closing, take a moment to let us know in the comments what you do to have a bit of fun during your daily work routine. 🙂
