SC Recorder for Mac does not work correctly.
When you open the SC Recorder and begin to use it, you will briefly see a message in the upper left corner of our screen saying it is configuring your machine to use the SC Recording… then it will say it is ready for use. After that you can use the SC Recorder and it should capture both audio and video correctly.
If this message in the upper right corner instead says “Download Surgeon cannot switch your system audio preferences as required” or “osascript is not allowed assistive access. : -25211”
If you see either of these two things, the first thing to do is to go to your System Preferences >> Audio >> Output devices. In this list you should either see SoundFlower or iShowU.
If you do not see either of these, then go to this Knowledge Base article and try to install the correct one.
