Make a recording

The procedures listed below are provided as typical uses of the Recorder feature. The same general steps are used to configure and record other Recorder outputs.

Note: Recorders can be configured in the Recorder window or in the Timeline:

• Recorders configured in the Recorder window are manually started. They can be configured to record what is currently playing, a set of frames specified with a Start frame and End frame, or a time interval.
• Recorder Clips, which are used to specify recorders in the Timeline, automatically start recording when the Timeline plays the specified frames.
