How do you get that crisp quality in your screen recordings, so that you can zoom in on sections without it looking blurry or pixelated, just like I’m doing in the top left section of these tutorials?

How to do screen recording on Mac in high quality

What I do is that I use QuickTime for my screen recordings but before you start you want to go up to the menu and change your screen resolution by clicking on the Apple icon and “System settings”.

Here, you go down to “Displays”, select the screen that you want to use, and the higher the number, the higher the resolution will be.

Now, open “QuickTime”, go up to the menu and click “File”, “New Screen recording”, select “Record entire screen” and then click “Options” and select “Desktop” under “Save to”.

Once you are done, you just click the “Stop”-icon at the top right of your screen and it will save the video to your desktop.

The only issue here is that it records in a variable framerate, meaning that it could look a bit “choppy” when importing it into your editing software, but that can be easily fixed with a free tool called “Handbrake” which you can find on my gear page under the section “Software”.
