The new QuickTime Player can record your screen ( File > New Screen Recording) or record a movie from an attached iPhone, iPad or the built-in camera on your Mac.

And, while the old version still has a few tricks up it’s sleeve, in the next OS upgrade or two, the old version is will stop working because it is only a 32-bit application. NOTE: When I say “new,” I mean the version of QuickTime Player shipped with the current version of the macOS. In fact, the new version can do many things that the old version couldn’t though, to be truthful, the old version still wins in several areas. However, recently, I was exploring the menus in QuickTime Player and discovered that, over the years, Apple has added significant features that make it worth reconsidering – even for us QT 7 snobs. When the new version was compared to the features, power and flexibility in Quicktime Player 7 Pro, the new version failed just about everywhere.

I’ve ignored QuickTime Player since it was first released as QuickTime Player X with the original release of macOS X.
