What is a simple screen recording app for the Mac that works with retina? Screeny (my previous go-to) fails, as does Voila. #lazytweet

    @alexkingorg QuickTime

      @JJJ QuickTime gives me the same blank green screen.

        @alexkingorg It works great if you can get it going. Never experienced a green screen myself.

    @alexkingorg Screenflow is awesome, but check for Retina support.

      definitely agree with screenflow. love that app.

      @markjaquith @alexkingorg screenflow works fine for me in Retina — I’m even using an old version (2.0).

    @alexkingorg Camtasia for Mac supports Mac Retina display… not sure if it falls in your “simple” category 🙂

    @alexkingorg Check this thread https://t.co/kd3nKPm96e I seem to have fixed it by repairing permissions.

    Thanks all, some good tips here. Screenflow looks nice, but I’m not ready to shell out $99 for an app I use a couple times a year. I will check out the possible permissions issue too (though I was unable to install the Pro codecs linked in that thread).

    With current settings:

    – Screeny = fail (green screen)
    – Quicktime = fail (green screen)
    – Voila = fail (green screen)
    – Screenflow = success

      I’ll bet you’ll use it more than 2 times per year if you buy it. Screenflow is so easy to use I just screencast pretty much any bug report now. Soooo much easier than trying to describe every action and then have the developer doubt that you actually did reproduce it. 🙂

        I’ve been happy with Screeny until this – I’m thinking there is a system-level glitch here as Quicktime is exhibiting the same behavior. But if I can’t get it fixed…

    @alexkingorg love to hear what you find in re to screen recording apps.

    @alexkingorg if you install gfxCardStatus, switch to Integrated – that works for me, though Integrated doesn’t support external displays

    @alexkingorg This must be a recent OSX bug because I’ve used Screeny and iShowU HD for a while without issue until I checked today.

  10. @dancameron

    @alexkingorg After a bit of troubleshooting a simple restart (with ext. display disconnected) fixed the recordings for me.

  11. @dancameron
    View May 14, 2013

    @alexkingorg …after testing without an ext. display with success I plugged in the ATD and another successful recording was made…

    • @alexkingorgreplied:

      @dancameron I connect to 2 Dell 30”s, but was doing this disconnected. I guess I’ll try the reboot when convenient.

    I use ScreenFlow.

    @alexkingorg I just use QuickTime, it’s the only useful thing it does!

    […] was certainly not alone in my problem with Screeny recording nothing but a green screen. Interestingly I got the same results from Quicktime, which made me think it was a system issue […]
