Yes you can continue to work, and if the content you're recording is in a PiP window you can work willy-nilly without interfering with the recording. However, the dim screen IS a significant hindrance to normal working, otherwise we'd all work with dim screens. Would be very nice to be able to Turn Off Screen Dimming, period. Still can't do it (apparently). | |
| May 6, 2015 at 20:19 | comment | added | Ruskes | Well, the OP wants to disable the dimming so he can use the rest of the computer. As you confirm even if disabling would be possible, using the rest of the computer would impact what is been recorded if the screen changes. | |
| May 6, 2015 at 20:13 | comment | added | tubedogg | Again, the OP's question was "how can I turn off this dimming". That does not seem to be possible, but other than making it harder to see the area outside the recording, it does make the computer unusable. | |
| May 6, 2015 at 20:12 | comment | added | tubedogg | So you're saying that I cannot use the computer outside of the recording area? That is factually incorrect. If I bring another window forward, and it is inside the recording area, then yes, the recording will capture it. Otherwise, no, it won't, regardless of what application is "on top". See this test screen recording I just made. I was using Finder in a window next to the recording area the whole time, except at the end where I typed "Testing". | |
| May 6, 2015 at 20:10 | comment | added | Ruskes | @tubedogg do you know how to use the rest of the computer while a screen recording is going on ? outside of the recording area? | |
| May 6, 2015 at 20:02 | comment | added | tubedogg | Yes, in relation to "How can I turn off this dimming?" His screen is bigger than the recording area, so he seems to want to be able to do other things outside the recording area while it is still recording, without having to see through the dimming. | |

| May 6, 2015 at 20:00 | comment | added | Ruskes | @tubedogg this is what I read in the question: "I'd like to use the rest of my computer normally while recording." | |
| May 6, 2015 at 19:18 | comment | added | tubedogg | I think you may have misunderstood the question. I don't think the OP is unclear on what is being recorded; he simply wants the screen dimming to be disabled. | |

Swapped fixate for attach, makes more sense :-)
