View Recordings and Screenshots

Viewing recordings and screenshots is easy with the Photos app on your Apple device. When you record something, whether it’s a video or a screenshot, your device will automatically store the data in your Photos library. This makes it easy to locate and view the content you’ve captured.

To view your recordings and screenshots, open up the app then tap on one of them to view an individual piece of content. Once opened, you can then play the video to preview its contents as well as scrub through the video if needed. Additionally, you have the option to mute any sound that may be present in recordings as well as share the item with others or delete it if necessary. All these features make it simple to review all types of content stored on your device via Photos app without having to fumble through menus or search for files.

Editing a screen recording

Editing screen recordings can be a great way to enhance your video, or fix any mistakes you made during the recording process. The first step is to open the video in your Photos app, either by tapping on the notification bar after you finish recording, or by opening it from within the Photos app itself. Once you have selected Edit in the upper-right-hand corner, you can make a number of changes such as trimming unnecessary footage and deleting sections of your video. You can also adjust brightness, contrast, saturation and apply filters to make your final product look more polished.

In addition to these basic edits, there are some helpful tools for editing your screen recordings such as adding captions or text bubbles and flipping or rotating parts of the video. There’s also an undo button just in case you accidentally make a mistake while editing. To export your edited masterpiece to be shared with others, simply tap Save at the bottom right-hand side of the page and select where you’d like it saved. With these easy-to-use features, anyone can create stunning screen recordings with minimal effort.
