macos makes it really easy to record the screen. cmd-shift-5 brings up the screenshot app. but converting them to gifs or other video formats is not possible, unless you use third party apps. in that case, you might as well just use a better screenshot app that does that for you.
what I wish we could record, however, is the system interactions (kinda like how you record games inside the game itself). it doesn’t record a video, but rather your mouse movements and keyboard inputs, along with the location of apps and windows and their state. it would take more space but it would be more useful in case you wanna go back and run counterfactuals.

- eastbound 4y agoMy gripe with MacOS is that it creates huge files. A few MB for a screenshot, when 250KB are often enough; and probably 10MB per minute for a small area, for video, which makes it immediately impossible to send to customers.
