This document provides standards and instructions for recording content with Screenflick 3.1 for LinkedIn Learning on macOS. It covers acceptable screen resolutions, installation of Screenflick 3.1, standard recording settings like capturing full-screen at 30 fps with lossless audio, and export settings like H.264 codec and Apple Lossless 48kHz audio. It emphasizes always capturing the full screen at a HiDPI resolution if available, and provides resources for help if needed before officially starting to record course content.

3. Resolution
Considerations
Before recording, we need
your resolution to be a
compatible standard

01
Aspect Ratio
HiDPI vs ”lowDPI”
Full-screen
We prefer 16:9 aspect ratio.
However, since so many
macOS instructors record
directly on the laptop screen,
we also accept 16:10 aspect
ratio.
When in doubt, consult your
content producer!
HiDPI is a pixel-doubled (2x)
resolution standard.
All resolutions in macOS are
either HiDPI (2x) or ”lowDPI”
(1x).
We prefer HiDPI resolutions
when possible.
Do NOT try to crop your
recordings to make it fit a
standard.
ALWAYS record full-screen!
Acceptable resolutions:
“Notch” mac
• 14” M1 MacBook Pro
1512x982 HiDPI (3024x1964)
• 16” M1 MacBook Pro
1728x1117 HiDPI (3456x2234)
“lowDPI”:
• 1360x768
• 1280x720
• 1280x800
• 1600x900 (requires auth)
• 1600x1000 (requires auth)
• 1920x1080 (requires auth)
HiDPI:
• 1440x810 HiDPI (2880x1620)
• 1440x900 HiDPI (2880x1800)
• 1344x840 HiDPI (2688x1680)
• 1600x900 HiDPI (3200x1800)
Rule of thumb:
• Any horizontal HiDPI resolution
>1300
• Any horizontal HiDPI resolution
<1600
