Capturing video of Mac window Mac has a neat little feature where I can (while grabbing a portion of the screen) hit spacebar and click on a window to capture it (and the surrounding shadow), for example:



I've searched for this on Google, but its stupid algorithm keeps searching for similar words, even when I put it in quotes (like mac "record window only"). I want to capture a video of a window only (including cursor of course).

How do I do this? What application do I use?
Just use Quicktime Player. File->New Screen Recording. You can select a portion of the screen, but spacebar doesn't work to select the whole window, you have to drag a frame around the window manually. You can trim the video afterwards, if you selected an area too big though. If you want to google, use "quicktime record window".
