Love it. Is there any way the recording time could be longer than 3m?

The recorded video just shows up as a green screen for me on a MBP Retina, OSX 10.8

Hi this is a known bug that affects many apps on the Mac - we have written about it in the FAQ's on the site and also in the GitHub repo.

If you re-boot your machine that generally sorts it out, we think it is caused by machines with dual GFX cards and dynamic switching.

Possibly - it's open source so you can always suggest via the GitHub repository https://github.com/petetak/QuickCast/issues

Cool, so the difference with this and Jing project is that it has the video on the bottom right as well as the video of the screen?

Definitely 3 minutes is a bit short for some applications

I have an command line alias called screencast that starts this applescript on on my mac.

tell application "QuickTime Player" --activate new screen recording start document 1 delay 600 stop document 1 quit end tell

I then save it to a cloud service provider and set the privacy settings to whatever I want.

Are there any advantages to using this service versus the workflow that I mentioned above?
