Recording a sketch

Hi there and happy new year!

What’s the easiest way to a record real video from a P5 sketch? In Processing Python mode I was using Syphon and Soundflower. I’ve found in the past that stitching screenshots together works poorly. Ideally I want to generate mp4’s right out of the sketch somehow.

Any direction would be much appreciated! making the move in to p5… (finally!)

Use any software for screen recording (I presume, you are using MacOS, so build-in Screenshot [Catalina] or QuickTime [previous OS’es] should be ok). Also, some commercial, software (Screenflow, for example) can do the job.

And various solutions based on Syphon are still possible with apps such as:

You can also use OBS (Open Broadcaster Software). But it’s sometimes hard to get the sketch as video source.
