Screen Capture
Contents
Introduction
Capturing a screenshot or a short video to demonstrate an issue or point to a specific functionality of an application.
Designers
Objectives
- Capture a static fullscreen screenshot
- Capture a window
- Capture a region
Record a short video of the entire screen
Non-Goals
Sharing (uploading to flickr, youtube...) Realm of a core app (Photos, Videos)
- Record a single window
- Record a rectangular area of the screen
- Include audio
- Review the recorded video
These advanced tasks can be achieved using a separate application -- Screencast Recorder.
Constraints
Tentative Design
Screen recording is part of the system, invoked by a shortcut. Filesystem is avoided by populating the Photo/Video libraries or by using the system clipboard as a target.
Keyboard shortcut should provide feedback that it did something. And provide feedback if it doesn't do something.
