Screen Capture Mac Os X Mojave

If you’ve been a Mac user for a while, you might have noticed that the venerable Screenshot (formerly Grab) app, the app you use to manage screen capture features including timed shots and cursor visibility, is no longer in your Utilities folder in macOS Mojave.

An alternative app that is integrated into Mac's operating system as well as Grab called Preview has the same capture options, but it opens the screenshot immediately in a new window. With the 10.14 Mojave operating system, users got a revamped screenshot utility called the Screenshot app (previously known as Grab).

MacOS Mojave (/ m oʊ ˈ h ɑː v i, m ə-/ mo-HAH-vee) (version 10.14) is the fifteenth major release of macOS, Apple Inc.' S desktop operating system for Macintosh computers.

In its place, Mojave has more and better screen-shooting capabilities than any version of macOS before it. Screenshot’s functionality and more are woven into the fabric of Mojave itself. Furthermore, Screenshot has been updated in several useful ways.

All of your old favorite keyboard shortcuts for screen capture — the ones you’ve known and loved on the Mac since time immemorial — still work the same as always:

To capture the entire screen:

1. PressCommand +Shift+3.
2. There is no Step 2.

To capture part of the screen:

1. Press Command +Shift+4.
2. Move the pointer (crosshair icon) to where you want to start the screenshot.

To cancel, press Esc before you release the mouse button.

Mojave screen-shooting 101

In addition to the old, familiar screenshot shortcuts just discussed, Mojave adds a third keyboard shortcut that includes everything you can do using the other shortcuts and more.

That fabulous new shortcut is Command +Shift+5, and you’d be wise to memorize it because, like the other two screenshot keyboard shortcuts, it doesn’t appear in any menu or application. If you’re going to memorize only one shortcut for screen captures, it should be Command +Shift+5, which will open the floating palette of screen-shooting options shown here.

To capture your screen as a still image, first click the appropriate button: Capture Entire Screen, Capture Selected Window, or Capture Selected Portion. When everything is the way you want it, click the Capture button.

If you do nothing, the floating thumbnail will disappear after a few seconds and the screenshot will appear on the desktop by default.

But click the floating thumbnail before it goes away and a wonderful new thing happens: A window appears with a bevy of useful tools for modifying images, as shown.

These tools are known as Markup — a systemwide set of tools for annotating PDF and image files.

And, as you just saw, these tools also appear if you click the floating thumbnail of a screenshot before it disappears.

When you’ve finished annotating and editing your screenshot, click Done in the upper-left corner of the window.

Mojave screen-shooting options

If you want to change the location where your screenshots are saved, click the Options menu, which is available after you press Command +Shift+5. The Options menu also allows you to select a timer of None (the default), 5 seconds, or 10 seconds.

Finally, the Options menu lets you enable or disable the floating thumbnail, show or hide the mouse pointer, and remember the last selection you made (for your next screenshot).

Another set of options appears when you right- or Control-click the floating thumbnail, as shown.

Note that selecting Markup is the same as clicking the floating thumbnail — it opens the Markup window so you can annotate your screenshot.

Mojave screen recording

Screen recording — movies of your Mac (or iDevice) screens — has been around for a few years on the Mac, but it’s been buried in the QuickTime Player app. I didn’t discuss it in that chapter because the new Mojave way is so much easier and more convenient. (If you want to make a movie of your iDevice screen, you’ll still need to use QuickTime Player.)

Anyway, to make a movie of all or part of your Mac screen, begin by pressing Command +Shift+5. Then click either the Record Entire Screen or Record Selected Portion. If you click Record Entire Screen, the recording begins immediately; if you click Record Selected Portion, you need to drag the on-screen handles to select the area you want to record, and then click the Record button.

To end the recording, click the Stop button in the menu bar, as shown.

When the floating thumbnail appears in the lower-right corner of your screen, you can right- or Control-click it for additional options, or do nothing to have the screen recording saved in your default location.

The Macintosh operating system has always made it easy to capture a screen shot. A screen shot is an image of your computer desktop or an active window. Here's a summary of all the keyboard shortcuts you can use to capture your screen in Mac OS X.

A. Entire screen:

1. To capture the entire screen, press Command-Shift-3. The screen shot will be automatically saved as a PNG file on your desktop with the filename starting with “Picture” followed by a number, example Picture 1, Picture 2, and so on.
2. To copy the entire screen, press Command-Control-Shift-3. The screen shot will be placed on your clipboard for you to paste into another program like PowerPoint, Word, Photoshop, etc.

B. Portion of the screen:

1. To capture a portion of the screen, press Command-Shift-4. A cross-hair cursor will appear and you can click and drag to select the area you wish to capture. When you release the mouse button, the screen shot will be automatically saved as a PNG file on your desktop following the same naming convention as explained on the first tip above.
2. To copy a portion of the screen to the clipboard, press Command-Control-Shift-4. A cross-hair cursor will appear and you can click and drag to select the area you wish to capture. When you release the mouse button, you can paste the screen shot to another application.

C. Specific application window:

When you have the cursor over a window you want to capture, just click the mouse button and the screen shot will be saved as a PNG file on your desktop.
