A look at Quicktime X
3/20/2010
As you all know Quicktime X is a screen recording software preinstalled in every Mac product. In this video below you could see that I did a test to see how the program performs. In my opinion being a free program I thought it was very good but when comparing to Camtasia Studio it lacks some features such as the automatic smart zoom capability, but then again Camtasia Studio comes with a $299 sticker price and Quicktime X is free on Mac. Keep in mind Camtasia also can record audio coming from the computer and Quicktime X can't, though it is possible to install a little software which allows audio! Using Quicktime X is very easy and user friendly and there isn't any lag when recording the screen. I am impressed overall with this software. The audio used in the video is thanks to the iLife suite and that was added later on using iMovie which is also very easy to use.
Here is a quick look:

Excellent presentation. I would have liked to see a movie brought up and played, or a heavy memory hog graphics program.
What about copyright laws and such? Seems easy enough to grab other peoples work and use it to your advantage. Graphics, videos, logos, blog posts, etc are hard enough to keep safe. Do you think this program will cause some major problems in this regards?

Thanks for the comment, Bryan as you could see on my blog all my videos are made by me. I actually used the program and made them and if I use any pictures on my site, I make sure they are from the creative commons section and I include the name of the person who owns the picture. Also sites like picapp.com provides free photos to people who have a site and I also use that, I strongly believe copyright is a big issue going around other blogs and I don't want to be caught using someone else's data without their permission. So throughout most part of the site all my videos are made by me, pictures are mostly by me but if they are by someone else I include their name to get credit for the photo. I am glad you liked my blog! Thank you!
