Recording settings

Settings › This Show › Recording: frame rate, the program recording, cameras recorded on their own.

Open Settings › This Show › Recording (⌘, then Recording under This Show). The page has four groups. The first three are saved with the show; the last one is kept on this Mac.

Settings on the Recording page: Program with Frame Rate, Program Recording with Bit Rate and Save Recordings To, ISO Recording, and ISO Recording on This Mac with Save ISO Recordings To

Size shows the program’s size. Frame Rate sets the program’s frames per second: 24 (film look), 25, 29.97, 30, 50, 59.94 or 60. The two highest are marked “a busier Mac”. You cannot change the rate while a recording or a stream runs. See Recording for which rate to pick.

Codec is H.264 in a QuickTime movie. Bit Rate runs from 4 to 40 Mb/s. Save Recordings To shows the folder the movies go into. By default that is the show folder’s Program Recordings. When the show has no show folder, or its folder is in iCloud Drive, it is ~/Movies/Live Producer/<show>/Program Recordings instead, and a note under the group says why. Choose… picks another folder on this Mac; Use Default goes back. A chosen folder in iCloud Drive gets a warning: the upload competes with a stream for the connection, and the recordings fill up iCloud storage. The folder is this Mac’s, not saved with the show. See Record the program.

One checkbox per camera in the show. A ticked camera is recorded on its own, every frame. Cameras Run At sets the rate every camera runs at while one records; For Slow Motion is the default. The show must have a camera for this group to offer anything. When a ticked camera cannot run at that rate, a note under the group names it and the rate it runs at. See Record each camera.

Save ISO Recordings To works like the program’s: the show folder’s ISO Recordings by default, or ~/Movies/Live Producer/<show>/ISO Recordings when the show folder is in iCloud Drive or there is none, with Choose…, Use Default and the same iCloud warning. Then Keep (the whole show, or the last 10, 20 or 30 minutes or the last hour), Codec (H.264, or HEVC for smaller files and more cameras) and Bit Rate (8 to 60 Mb/s). These stay on this Mac and are not saved with the show. The footer estimates the gigabytes per hour per camera at the chosen bit rate. A change applies to the next recording.
