I cannot launch Quicktime on Mac

I can open Quicktime to play videos, however if opening through Applications it brings up a pop-up and the only option is to cancel.


I want to open it to screen record, perhaps I am going about this the wrong way?


It is version 10.5 and running Catalina 10.15.4 on the Mac

MacBook Air 11", macOS 10.15

Hi,


Is the window looks more or less like that? :


You can aim up to menu and choose File>

and than the recording which You wish to do.



You can try much faster method which is Command+Shift+5 and than You can choose what You want to record

either region or whole screen and some options at the end.



Try and let me know if that helps.


Simon
