I found out where the videos are stored in their temporary location, and you can drag it out of there instead and it takes no time.You might want to record sound on a Mac for many reasons: from documenting your thoughts to creating music to live streaming. What makes no sense is that if you export the video you just recorded, the export can take quite a long time. Again, the only option is to export, either through File-> Export or by closing the window (which again gives you no indication the file hasn't already been saved). I've experienced other very similar bugs with QuickTime in Mountain Lion and tried reporting them through Apple's engineering teams.ĭoes anyone else use QuickTime for recording, editing, etc? Have you noticed these types of issues? I feel like there must be very few people who use it, or it would have been fixed.įor example, another bug is that if you record a video, audio file, or screen recording with QuickTime, it does not automatically save the file as the OS X Help manual says it does (and as it always had before). I just wanted to vent about what I believe to be bugs in Mac OS X. To be clear, I'm not really looking for advice (unless there is any). I know how to open it (right-clicking and choosing open). (See below, I don't know how to make the image inline with text.) That took the cake! I've had the same message show up (about an unknown developer) after downloading an Airport utility made by Apple from its own web-site! Once it's exported, I try double clicking the file and came across the attached image. And then it starts very slowly exporting the file. It takes a couple of minutes for a progress bar to even show up. Then my MacBook Pro (current model, top of the line) starts whirring and hissing (the fans). It also gives no description of that (will it keep it as an MP3, does it change the bit-rate etc.).īut it seems like the only option.

It gives no description of what that means.

By default it wants to save it as a movie.

You can't manually go to File-> Save or hit command-S. Unless you either quit QuickTime or close the red box, there is no way to save the changes. But when I go to close QuickTime, it asks me if I want to save changes. There is no dark depression mark in the red close box as if the file needs to be saved. Once I trim the file and click Trim, it appears as if the file has been saved in the trimmed state. It takes several minutes while it says 'loading clips.' I'm not sure why that is. When I open the MP3 file, I go to Edit, then Trim. I was trying to trim them a bit in QuickTime, but it's not worked out great. I'm recording lecture on a voice recorder and then importing them to my Mac.
