PixelRec focuses on the artwork session instead of acting like a full-desktop recorder for everything happening on your Mac.
PixelRec Ultra for macOS
Photoshop Timelapse Recorder for Mac
Record the artwork in your Photoshop session without filming the rest of your Mac screen. PixelRec Ultra starts capturing automatically as you work—with no per-session setup or Start click—tracks the session, and exports the process as a clean MP4.

REC MAC SESSION
Made for Mac artists
A recording workflow that stays inside Photoshop.
PixelRec Ultra adds an artwork recorder to the Photoshop workflow you already use on Mac. Open your document, create as usual, and keep recording controls and session details available inside the plugin.
Automatic every session
PixelRec starts capturing as you work. There is no Start button and no setup for each Photoshop project.
Session details in view
See your painting, the frames saved, and your painting time on the Record screen.
Less unnecessary footage
A frame is saved only when the canvas changes, so pauses and breaks never reach the video.

From a Photoshop document to an MP4.
PixelRec Ultra works on Mac and Windows. So does PixelRec Pro.
