Choosing the best screen recorder for Mac is often a difficult task for many people. As long as you can look at the comparison chart above and check off the features that are important to you to have in your choice software, that is the beginning step. The next step would be to try the options that you have narrowed down and get a feel for how they operate. The best tool is going to allow you to do what you think it would let you do when you want to do it like I have mentioned quite a few times that Camtasia allows me to do. However programs like Final Cut Pro, ScreenFlow and Screenflick are built exclusively for the Mac operating system and may feel more natural to use than a screen recorder that works across multiple platforms.

The short end of this story is this comparison table will definitely help you narrow down the process of selecting the screen recorder that is right for you. Then you just need to select the one that feels right from the options you left for yourself based on the features you decided were important.
