Capturing Screen Video with Quicktime Screen Recording

Question

Capturing Screen Video with Quicktime Screen Recording

I've just found that Quicktime can record everything on the screen. This is very useful as I want to produce some training videos that are based on web-browsing. The problem is that I want to be able to zoom in on parts of the screen and I saw elsewhere a trick that invloved using Universal Access to Zoom in with either the mouse wheel or Keyboard. The problem is that these zooms don't appear to be recorded in Quicktime. Is that correct, or am I missing something?

many thanks

That's correct. Quicktime doesn't record any of the Universal access screen zooms.

Can you help with this from an Oct 2010 post? I'm having the same trouble in OS 10.6.8--random dropouts in QT Screen Recordings using QT Player 10.0 (131). The original poster said the problem only happens when recording sound, but I need sound. If you can help, please email me at blockard @@ iname . com. Thanks!

"Sometimes it records fine and I end up with a full recording, sometimes the middle is gone, sometimes just the end. The file size doesn't seem to matter; I have some good recordings that are nearly 500MB, and some that failed when they are only 30MB (and I have well over 300GB free)."
