For recording streaming lectures on a Mac, users recommend OBS Studio as a reliable screen recorder. It is compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux, offering customizable settings for noise reduction, input device selection, and output quality. While it can produce near-HD video quality, users should be aware that file sizes can be large, approximately 10 GB for a one-hour recording. QuickTime is noted as less effective due to its lack of features like an easy timer.

Any recommendations for a simple, reliable screen recorder for Mac. All I want to do is record some streaming lectures. I like transferring to my phone to watch again. QuickTime isn’t great. No easy timer.

I use OBS studio. It is available for Windows, Mac and Linux. There are settings that will allow you to reduce noise from your microphones, choose the input device, output quality, and so on. When I used to record online lectures, my settings produced near-HD videos, but file size was about ~10 GB for 1-hour videos.

Me too (on Windows and Linux, I don't have a Mac).

This looks great. Thanks.

After playing around a bit with making star maps, I found another video which introduced me to another trick that can be done using geometry nodes. This one involves fluids. For background, Blender has a fluid physics simulator, which, as the name suggests simulates the behavior of fluids. What this person did was to use geometry nodes to convert the fluid into a point cloud. Then he added a turbulence force field to "stir it around". He was then able to extract the velocity information...
