how do I set up my mac book pro to screen shot

how do I set up my old MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014) to make a screen shot with one or a few keys?

I'm running Catalina 10.15.7.

I want to be able to take a full screen shot during a Zoom session.

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.15

iMovie Cropping Off Top of Menu Bar Hi, iMovie is cropping off the top half of the menu bar while I am creating a demo video for my application: Created several QuickTime screen recordings of my application including the menu bar -- the recordings have the entire menu bar (there are several recordings because I am recording this 10 minute video in pieces) Brought those recordings into an iMovie project Used "Fit" for the crop on each recording (I am not using "Crop to Fill") Added voice overs for those recordings in iMovie The top half of the menu bar is cut off in the output video If I bring one of those recordings into an empty project and do a Picture-in-Picture overlay over a black screenshot, then I can see the entire menu bar. But I have found no way to do the Picture-in-Picture trick for all of the clips. After 6 hours of trying, Google-ing fixes, and watching lots of YouTube videos I don't know what else to try. How can I make this video without the menu bar cut off? Thanks
