Recording video on mac without mirror inversion

Solution 1:

Shift+Command+H will flip a video horizontally in QuickTime after you stop recording.

In summary:

  1. Record a video in QuickTime as usual (it will still show as inverted during this time)
  2. Stop recording
  3. Shift+Command+H to flip it horizontally
  4. Quit the app - it will prompt you to save the file, which will save it in the desired inversion. Alternatively you can File > Export to a variety of formats.

I tested this on macOS Catalina using QuickTime 10.5.
