# Set the time in seconds you want the recording to be.Īt this point, by default, when the screen recording is stopped, it is saved to the Desktop as e.g. Repeat until exists button "Record" of its front window Tell application "QuickTime Player" to new screen recording This may also hold true for macOS Mojave, however, the following example AppleScript code was only tested under macOS Catalina: - # Setup to do a screen recording. Without seeing your AppleScript code, all I can say is that for me, as an example, on macOS High Sierra doing a screen recording requires different coding then on macOS Catalina, as the latter no longer actually uses QuickTime Player to do the actual screen recording. Save document "screen recording" in f using settings preset "1080p" If not (exists button "Record" of its front window) thenĬlick checkbox "Record Entire Screen" of its front windowĬlick button "Record" of its front windowĢ) end recording tell application "System Events" to click menu bar item 1 of menu bar 1 of application process "screencaptureui"ģ) Old way I used to start my recording before Catalina for screen recording (still works for webcam (aka Movie) recording) tell application "QuickTime Player" to activateĤ) Old way I used to stop and save my screen recording that doesn't work in Catalina set filePath to "Users:mini:Desktop:test.mov"
Tell application "System Events" to tell process "Screen Shot" Tell application "QuickTime Player" to start (new screen recording) Below that, I have my original code which saves it on the Desktop as test.mov.ġ) Starting recording tell application "QuickTime Player" to activate Below, I've added some code snippets of what I currently have since making edits (it just saves the screen recording to the Desktop based on the date for the time. The only problem now is that I'm not sure how to save to file to a specific path. I've edited my AppleScript code since user3439894 wrote a response.
I've tried using System Events to click to screen, even after a 1s delay, but it's not working.ġ) Bypass the new menu and just start recording right awayĢ) Start recording once the menu has popped up (System Events doesn't detect window 1, so I'm not even sure how to navigate the UI)ģ) Click the screen/UI using System Events It's based on another user's SE question, but ever since the update, it looks like there is a new step.īasically, you tell "QuickTime Player" to start (new screen recording).īut instead of a screen recording starting, it just opens a new menu which lets you select some settings, or click the screen to record using the last used settings. So I've been using a script before I updated to Catalina that worked fine for screen recording.
