Is there any trick to record a video of a given app window only (or that covers area of a window)? Making screenshot is easy with pressing `space`, is there an equivalent for videos?

Yes, Cmd+Shift+5 and “record selected portion”.

  I think the goal was to record just the window, rather than a region of the screen.

    That's the "Capture Selected Window" option.

Not a trick per se, but I use Giphy Capture for this kind of thing.

  note that this is just a proxy for Cmd-Shift-5, and only takes a screenshot (not a recording)

Doesn't record a video, but I've been a happy user of LICEcap to make animated gifs of a portion of the screen that I share with co-workers (to github, slack, etc.)
