For this forum, GIF is preferred, though MP4 can be used. Kap can record a selected rectangular area, a specific window of an application, or an entire screen in GIF, MP4, WebM, or APNG.ĭiscovered when reports suggested that LICEcap 1.29 was not Catalina-compatible, Kap enables you to designate a particular rectangular area to record, select a specific window of an application, or record an entire screen in GIF, MP4, WebM, or APNG. Open source Kap has more features than LICEcap without being much more complicated to use, yet is still free. Click the + button under the app list on the right, find LICEcap in the Applications folder with the dialog that pops up, select it, and click OK/Select. Click Accessibility in the list on the left, click the lock in the bottom left to make changes, and enter password. Open System Preferences, click Security & Privacy, click the Privacy tab. If you want to give Accessibility a shot (based on 10.14.6 so your interface might differ a bit): The thought is that LICEcap might be refused access by the process you’re trying to record. Try giving LICEcap control under Accessibility.

Mucking about I got it working again, but I’m not positive that anything I did actually fixed it. Today () my LICEcap started recording all black on macOS 10.14.6.

Hit Stop when you’re done recording and the recording you just took will automatically be saved to the destination you selected in.

After the pre-roll countdown (you can turn this on/off/change it’s length in LICEcap settings), any screen activity that occurs inside the window frame will be captured.

Hit Record and choose a destination for the file output.

Once installed, launch LICEcap and resize the window frame as desired.
