Recording shortcuts

Shortcuts that work everywhere

These work in any app, even when Framecast is in the background.

⌥⌘↩	Start / stop recording. Opens the recording bar; with the bar open, starts recording; during the countdown, cancels it; while recording, stops.
⌥⌘P	Pause / resume
⌥⌘esc	Cancel recording (asks first). Before you record, it closes the recording bar.
⌥⌘R	Restart recording (asks first)
⌃⌥⌘3	Record a display: opens the bar in Display mode
⌃⌥⌘4	Record a window
⌃⌥⌘5	Record an area

Shortcuts while recording

These only work during a recording, so they don’t take keys from other apps the rest of the time.

⌥⌘O	Oops: cut the last take. See Oops: cut a bad take.
⌃⌥⌘F	Add a marker
⌥⌘'	Show or hide the recording controls
⌥⌘/	Show or hide speaker notes
⌥⌘.	Start or stop the teleprompter

Change a shortcut

1. Open Settings › Shortcuts.
2. Click the shortcut you want to change. It reads Press keys….
3. Press the new keys. They need at least one of ⌘, ⌥, ⌃ or ⇧. Press esc to cancel.

Click the ↺ button next to a shortcut to put back its default.

While the recording bar is open, 1 to 4 pick Display, Window, Area and Device, ↩ records and esc goes back. For the editor’s keys, see Editor keyboard shortcuts.
