You can also use the keyboard shortcut ‘Control+Esc’ to stop recording. To start recording, simply press the Record button once you’ve selected your option, and if you’ve got a MacBook with a Touch Bar, you’ll see that it will change to show the duration of the recording, total file size, and also gives you the option to stop the recording when you need to. To record a select portion, simply pull your cursor across the screen to create a boundary. Doing so will bring up the general Screenshot menu, and on the right-hand side of this, there’s the option to either record the entire screen or record a select portion.

When Apple released Mac OS X in 2000, it included a new, modernized player app with a larger window, more features, and improved codecs. It not only allows you to screenshot, but also to record your screen at the touch of a button. MacOS’ Screenshot Toolbar (as present on MacOS Mojave and later) is a versatile tool.

Thanks in advance! This is the last roadblock for me to fully switch over to mpv, as I love pretty much all its other features.1 Use the Screenshot Toolbar – (Cmd+Shift+5) I don't think comparing numbers is the best way to measure performance but I just wanted to leave these here in case someone notices something off about them. mpv uses around 25% CPU and >80% GPU (0% without macos-force-dedicated-gpu). If these help, QuickTime usually runs with 8-10% CPU usage and 0% GPU usage. I know mpv has conservative defaults, so does anyone have any settings recommendations? If this is known but there isn't a solution, does anyone know why QuickTime works so well?

Unfortunately, my computer heats up like crazy and my GPU usage is consistently >80% with that option.Ĭan anyone reproduce? I'm currently on macOS 11 but this has happened with 10.15 as well. When I enable macos-force-dedicated-gpu, mpv runs very smoothly and it appears to run as smooth as QuickTime Player. QuickTime Player doesn't seem to noticeably lag my system though. I test this by invoking Mission Control (three-finger swipe up on trackpad) and when a video is playing in mpv, the animations are significantly choppier. When playing a video in mpv with default settings, it seems that my system runs less smoothly compared to playing the same video in QuickTime Player.
