How to Capture iPad Footage on a Mac
Screencasting is a great way to create presentations, enhance classroom lessons, make how-to video guides, or review apps and games on YouTube. If you have a Mac, you don’t need expensive software to get started. The Mac already has all the tools you need to capture the iPad screen and record a video of it. You can use the sound coming from the iPad for the finished recording, which is useful if you plan to record a voice-over later. You can also skip that and record yourself live using your Mac’s internal microphone.
Use Windows to Record an iPad’s Screen
Windows doesn’t offer a simple option to capture the iPad screen for free. However, a few choices exist that don’t cost much money. To record the video, you need to get your iPad’s screen onto your Windows PC. You can accomplish this by using AirPlay. Two services that use AirPlay are Reflector and AirServer. They include a free trial period, so you can find out how well they work. AirPlay Server and Reflector include the ability to record the video received from AirPlay, so you won’t need any additional software to capture the video.
