I record my Mac on my Windows machine with AirServer and Camtasia

I have Camtasia for both Mac and Windows, but I much prefer the Windows version.

And I don't think it is just because I work with Windows on a giant monitor.

But I still have to create course content that covers Mac software.

In the past, I have used Camtasia on the Mac to record it, then edit the exported MP4 on my Windows Camtasia.

But now, I use AirServer, which runs on my Windows box and I AirPlay my Mac screen to the window screen. There seems to be no lag, so works much better for me than running through VNC.

Since the screen comes through software, it means I can use Camtasia on the Windows box to capture the screen, and therefore get the best of both worlds. Running direct on the Mac, but recording and editing on the Windows Camtasia.

Recommended. And incredibly cheap. Only £13.99 for a commercial license.
