Need to show something to someone? iShowU, the original screen recorder for Mac OS X, is your answer! iShowU is designed to record anything on your screen, instantly — both audio, and video!
If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a movie is worth a million. Imagine the time you’ll save writing Grandma an email about how to magnify her dock when you can just shoot a movie!
- Compatible with OSX 10.7 and later, read about Lion/Mountain Lion compatibility
Small snippets or full screen shots – iShowU comes with super-useful, built-in presets to help get you on your way, and you can create your own with just a few quick clicks.
No more waiting for encoding, as soon as you stop recording your video is instantly available.
Just drag the capture rectangle over what you want to record and hit enter. There’s only one button (that’ll be the one labelled “record”) between you and video bliss.
Don’t want to record system audio? Microphone level too low? Video too big? iShowU has simple settings to control your capture, and does so from a single-window interface, so you can’t get lost.
iShowU is a Universal Binary and also knows what monitors you’ve got connected (so you’re not restricted to capturing just one screen) – drag the mouse wherever you want to go and iShowU records it all.
Don’t sit and watch the recording, waiting for the right point to stop it. Setup a recording timer then go out for dinner!
