Q&A

1. Where can I reopen the main panel after closing it?

Click the Dock tile or Menubar icon of QuickRecorder to reopen the main panel at any time.

2. Why does QuickRecorder not a sandbox app?

QuickRecorder has no plans to be uploaded to the App Store, so it does not need to be designed as a sandbox app.

3. How to independently control the volume of system sound and sound from microphone in other video editor?

QuickRecorder will merge the audio input from the microphone to the main audio track after recording by default. If you need to edit the video, you can turn off the "Mixdown the track from microphone" option in the settings panel. After turning off, the system sound and sound from microphone will be recorded into two audio tracks and can be edited independently.
