Video Screens

Since 2012, things have actually altered a lot when it comes to recording your iPhone or iPad screens.

The essential known alternative at the time to record videos of that which was in your iOS device’s screen would be to utilize the simulator in your Mac. Because movie has been used more to present an app (whether it’s for an App Preview, a promo video or a video advertisement), Apple an other companies made it much easier for people.

Let’s take a look at your options.

QuickTime Player

This alternative had been introduced with iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite, and it is everything we suggest to record iPhone display screen or iPad display. All your need is:

• An iOS device working iOS 8 or later
• A Mac working OS X Yosemite or later
• Lightning cable (the cable that comes with iOS devices)

No dependence on jailbreak, a 3rd party application or additional equipment.

Here are the steps to do it:

1. Link your iPhone or iPad towards Mac through the lightning cable
2. Open up QuickTime player
3. Click on the Record option. Now perform the jobs on the iOS product that you want to capture
4. As soon as done tap the stop switch and conserve the video.

Fast tip: by hitting Cmd + T you’ll have the ability to directly cut your video before preserving it, so that you only keep the relevant an element of the recording.

ScreenFlow

ScreenFlow provides a to record your iOS unit, like QuickTime does. The bonus is that you can in addition edit the video clip within ScreenFlow, rather than being forced to open up another system, like iMovie.

Often, ScreenFlow is also better at capturing video, where QuickTime may be choppy. Since QuickTime is no-cost, you should attempt that first.

However, if that doesn’t strive to well, after that give ScreenFlow a try.

To get going, just connect in your iOS device towards Mac with a Lighting cable and open ScreenFlow. It will probably automatically detect your device and give you the choice to capture that screen.

Ensure that the Record Screen from package is inspected while the correct device is chosen. Should you want to capture the audio also, look at the Record Audio from box and make sure the right product is selected.

After that hit the record key and commence doing all of your app demo. Once you are done recording, ScreenFlow will start the modifying display screen.

Easy appropriate?

Elgato

Before Apple managed to get easy to capture your iOS unit because of the QuickTime player, at Apptamin we used one of several Elgato game capture products which was mostly proven to gamers.

Right here ended up being the entire setup:

Reflector

We also used the Reflector application in the very beginning, but still put it to use for particular movies whenever shooting real time.
