Are you looking to explain a computer procedure, and you are using a Mac OS X operating system? Welcome to the QuickTime Player Screen Capture Recording Tutorial, which we hope will steer you in the right direction. This tutorial uses the QuickTime Player application to create a movie file which can be used on the Web or Desktop as a visual means of showing a set of steps in a procedure, for instance. QuickTime protocols and standards were invented by Apple, and are included in Mac OS X operating systems.
QuickTime is an extensible multimedia framework developed by Apple Inc., capable of handling various formats of digital video, picture, sound, panoramic images, and interactivity. The classic version of QuickTime is available for Windows XP and later, as well as Mac OS X Leopard and later operating systems. A more recent version, QuickTime X, is currently available on Mac OS X Snow Leopard, Lion, and Mountain Lion.
QuickTime Player also does other types of Movie Recordings, and also does Audio Recordings, all of which can be incorporated into YouTube videos, as you would expect.
