QuickTime Player User Guide

Use your keyboard, trackpad, or Magic Mouse to quickly accomplish many tasks in QuickTime Player.

Take pictures or screen recordings using Screenshot On your Mac, press Shift-Command-5 (or use Launchpad) to open Screenshot and display the tools. Click a tool to use to select what you want to capture or record (or use the Touch Bar). The screen capture shortcut on the Mac is one of the most useful tools I know. It grabs the screen and neatly places a.png file onto your desktop. But is this the highest quality screen capture you can get? Is it possible to get a higher resolution screen capture? Are there any ways to tinker with the settings of this command? From macOS Mojave onwards, there’s a built-in shortcut on a Mac that lets you start recording your screen. RECOMMENDED VIDEOS FOR YOU. Press Shift + Cmd + 5 and you’ll get an on-screen menu.

OPERATION KEYBOARD SHORTCUT MOUSE SHORTCUT; Record(default） Start/Stop: Shift+Cmd+2 Pause/Resume: Opt+Cmd+2 Full Screen Recording: Shift+Cmd+F. To save your Mac screenshot to the clipboard instead of to a file on your desktop, the magic key is Control (displayed on some older Mac keyboards as ⌃). You simply take an existing screenshot keyboard shortcut and add Control to the mix. For example, the keyboard shortcut to capture then entire screen is Shift (⇧) + Command (⌘) + 3.
