6 Click Record.
Recording begins and the Record button changes to a Stop
button.
7 Click Stop when you’ve recorded as much as you want.
Important If you don’t click the Stop button, recording
continues until the hard disk is full.
A dialog box appears, in which you can specify a name and
location for your movie.
You can also preview the QuickTime movie before you
save it.
Use as small a size as you can: The amount of disk
storage that a movie takes is directly related to the size of the
video window—the larger the window, the more disk space
you use. By choosing Smallest Size from the Windows menu
before you record, you may be able to save more than 50%
in storage space. (A movie that uses about 75 megabytes per
minute at the normal video window size will use only about
35 megabytes per minute at the smallest video window size.)
See “Changing the Video Window Size” in Chapter 2.
You can open the movie from inside any application that
supports QuickTime, such as SimpleText. If you open the
movie through SimpleText, for example, the SimpleText
document plays the movie using QuickTime technology.
