Quicktime screen recording lags?

My quicktime screen recording keeps lagging and making my macbook pro slow. When I exit the screen recording its fine but while recording, it gets so laggy. This hasn't happened before & it just started happening recently. How do I fix this?

Hey Musiclover99,

Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing some performance issues with your MacBook Pro. I’d like to ask you a few questions to see if we can isolate this issue further.

First, it sounds like you are trying to record your screen. Do you have a lot of applications running while attempting to record your screen, or an application that requires a lot of memory? Does the issue persist if you attempt to screen record something else?

You can use the steps in these resources to help isolate the issue:
