What happens after my three free exports in Easy Take?

What happens if my Mac crashes while Easy Take is recording?
Easy Take writes each recording to disk in short pieces while you record. If the Mac crashes, loses power or the app quits, Easy Take recovers the recording the next time you open it and tells you it did.
Which permissions does Easy Take need, and why?
Easy Take asks for screen recording to record your display or a window, camera so you can appear in the video, and microphone so the video has your voice. It also saves exports only where you choose. macOS applies screen recording access after Easy Take is reopened.
Do the screen, camera and voice stay in sync in Easy Take?
Yes. Easy Take records the screen, the camera and the microphone to separate files that all start from the same clock, so they line up in the editor and in the exported video.
What export quality does Easy Take offer?
Easy Take exports an MP4 video in 1080p, 1440p or 4K. You pick the resolution in the save dialog. The free exports have the same quality as paid ones.
Can Easy Take make portrait or square videos?
Yes. Every Easy Take project has a video shape: landscape (16:9), portrait (9:16) or square. You can change it after recording. In portrait, side by side becomes stacked, with the screen on top and the camera below.
Can Easy Take record just one window instead of the whole screen?
Yes. In Easy Take you can record a whole display or a single window. To show your iPhone, open iPhone Mirroring and pick its window.
Which macOS version does Easy Take need?
Easy Take needs macOS 15 or later.

What are the Easy Take keyboard shortcuts in the editor?
