Screen recording control not showing on my Mac mini

Thanks. Stopping and starting is not a problem. I want to pause the recording. To do that every instruction says to hover over the record button that would have changed to a stop button, hold option while pushing that button and it will act as a pause button.

I think it is recording through the screenshot app and not QuickTime. I’m not sure how to change that. I am guessing the functionality has been removed and that I can’t pause the recording. I am hoping there is a way.

I have been using the menu method after opening QuickTime and it opens the other interface automatically. I have never seen the QuickTime control that shows up in every video on the topic.

it’s good to know I can collate videos together in QuickTime. That’s more work than I wanted to do, but if it’s possible it will have to be that.

It is always a little frustrating when the solution is using other software because it is more functional than what I have, but that’s the way it goes sometimes. I am sure there are ways I can do this in Final Cut Pro or iMovie, I was just happy to find an easy way in QuickTime. I’ll just have to be more perfect so that I don’t need to pause!

Thanks. I guess that’s what I’ll have to do! Just takes more time, and I was hoping that I could do it the other way.
