ChappyCanuck Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Fellow Mac users! For those who capture video footage, what is your preferred video software? Now that I have mastered screen shots (I know, real hard eh?) I am interested in venturing into this realm of video footage. Any advice, suggestions and recommendations would be most appreciated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCE_Spr Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I'm not a MAC user but I do believe Open Broadcast Software has a MAC version; https://obsproject.com/download#mac Good thing is it is free, updated regularly and works great. Many tutorials on Youtube to help you get started. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChappyCanuck Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 (edited) Wicky that did work out. I love the simple, quick and effective Quicktime editing to do the most basic trimming and linking clips. In iMovie, I was able to add text transitions and music to my CM movie clip.....sweet. Thanks again for your help Edited April 10, 2015 by ChappyCanuck 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud Backer Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 (edited) Have you been able to record sound? I was able to record a movie but it either is silent or uses the mic which picks up my clicking, cursing etc..

ChappyCanuck Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 Hey Bud. So far I can only get sound from the mic 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicky Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 (edited) https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4333059 Voila software seems to have the function to inc inbuilt audio - and at the more expensive end there's..."Snapz Pro X is a quantum leap in video capture technology, adroitly capturing full motion video of anything on your screen at a blistering pace, complete with digital audio, and an optional microphone voiceover." Try the demos for each of the apps to see which you get on with. Edited April 10, 2015 by Wicky 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
