Just set the capture frame to encompass the online video that you want to save,check that the audio source is set to ‘System Audio’, and then click ‘REC’ to commence recording as you play the video at the same time. When the recording is complete you can save it, but before you go ahead and do so you should explore the other features in the software too.

Part of the beauty of using Movavi Screen Capture Studio for Mac to download online videos is the fact that it comes with a slew of other capabilities that will let you tweak and improve your videos.

Then, start to experiment with the rest of the features in Movavi Screen Capture Studio for Mac and try them out. Before long you’ll be able to use them effectively and in the process will be able to ensure that your videos turn out perfect.
