How to Create Videos with Quicktime

Quicktime is a great resource for teachers. With the latest version of quicktime, you can create videos of your screen, videos using your iSight and audio recordings. I'm going to quickly explain how to use quicktime to create videos.

1. Open Quicktime. Most likely, you don't have Quicktime on your dock, so you will need to go applications (in finder) and open in through there.

2. On the menu bar go to File.

3. You will have the choice between New Movie Recording, New Audio Recording and New Screen Recording.

• New Movie Recording This will create a video with your iSight (the camera above your screen). A new window will open, showing you what your iSight is seeing. Press the record button in the bottom center of the window to start recording.
  
• New Audio Recording Please see Nate Tangen's document on how to use this feature.
  
• New Screen Recording This is the tool that I use to create my videos. It will make a video of what is on your screen and save it to your movies folder. Make sure you click on the down arrow to the right of the record button, and select built in microphone to record your voice.

Hope this helps you use Quicktime!
