feat: extend video recording by Record Selection

Open lenisko opened this issue 1 year ago • 7 comments

Not sure if that's possible, but it would be very convenient to have similar abilities for video recording as we have for screenshots.

Since recording a selected app and whole screen is there, what's missing is the selection.

This is probably possible, I think screencapturekit accepts passing a custom rect, however it would require cloning the behavior of the native screenshot app, drawing an invisible window and then allowing the drawing of rectangles

You might have already seen this @castdrian, but this project is focused on extending the screen recording functionality in exactly the same way (https://github.com/lihaoyun6/QuickRecorder). Also written in swift, so maybe you could just integrate the features that make sense directly?

Is this something on the list? I would love to see it added. I migrated from Windows to Mac a couple weeks back and need a valid ShareX alternative that allows me to upload to destinations such as Zipline... iShare seems like the only valid option but doesn't support custom regional video captures. Thanks

Unsure this answers my question. Is this still being considered to be added?

Considered, yes. Priority is low, anyone can contribute a PR for this feature if they want.

No it's not. As said if you want it, open a PR.
