Region and Timed Recording

Fullscreen recording (see 05.2) is the default, but you can also scope to a rectangle or set a duration cap.

Region Recording

1. Right-click the Recording button (or open its context menu).
2. Pick Record Region....
3. The region-selection overlay appears, exactly like 02.1.
4. Click and drag a rectangle over the area you want to record.
5. Release to confirm — recording starts immediately for that rectangle only.
6. Stop with Ctrl+Shift+E, the control bar Stop button, or by clicking the toolbar Recording button.

Under the hood this runs RecordRegionCommand. The selected region is fixed for the length of the recording — you cannot resize it mid-recording. If you need a different area, stop and start a new one.

Timed Recording

Timed recording starts a fullscreen recording and stops itself after a fixed duration.

1. Right-click the Recording button.
2. Open the Record for... submenu.
3. Pick a preset.
4. Recording starts immediately and auto-stops when the duration elapses.

Available Presets

The command behind the menu is RecordWithDurationCommand(int seconds).

You can still stop early via any of the normal stop surfaces (see 05.2) — the timer is a cap, not a lock.

The Setting-Driven Cap

Independent of timed recording, there is also a global cap:

If you set Recording.MaxDurationMinutes = 15, every recording — fullscreen, region, or timed — stops no later than fifteen minutes in. A timed recording of 30m with this setting would stop at 15 minutes.
