Screen Studio guides — recording and capturing on macOS

Short, practical guides: record system audio, grant macOS permissions, export a GIF, capture and redact screenshots.

How to record system audio on a Mac (no virtual driver)

macOS ⌘⇧5 cannot capture internal sound. Here is how to record your screen with system audio on macOS 15 without BlackHole or Soundflower, and how to fix a silent recording.

Fix Screen Recording and Input Monitoring permissions on macOS

Nothing records, keystrokes never show, auto-zoom will not follow the cursor, or permissions vanished after a macOS update — how to grant Screen Recording and Input Monitoring, symptom by symptom.

How to export a GIF from a screen recording on Mac

Export a GIF straight from a recording: pick the frame rate, width and looping, with no ffmpeg or converter app. Includes how to shrink the file and when MP4 is the better choice.

Mac screenshots: markup, numbered steps and redaction

Capture a region, a window or the full screen, number your steps, blur emails and tokens, then stitch several shots into one image — without Preview or a second app.
