The perfect tool is iPhone-Simulator-Capture SIMBL plugin

1. Install SIMBL
2. Download the code
3. Modify Info.plist key "SIMBLTargetApplications/MaxBundleVersion" (and/or "SIMBLTargetApplications/MinBundleVersion") value plist to the actual version of your simulator (240 worked for me) (latest version: 272)
4. Build
5. Place bundle in “~/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins"
6. Relaunch simulator, now you should have "Recording" in the menu.

Now the easiest way is using QuickTime with File > New screen recording and select the part of your screen you want to capture.

iMovie is doing the rest well :-)

Hope this helps.

As I could not find any tool fitting my needs, I made my own tool : WhazzerFinger. You can download it (sources or binary) here: https://github.com/zippy1978/WhazzerFinger.

The application adds an overlay on top of the actual simulator window to give it a more realistic look. At the moment only iPhone is supported in portrait or landscape mode. iPad should come in the next releases.

Screenshots and videos are stored on the desktop. Videos are encoded using H.264 codec.

Here is a resulting video (WhazzerFinger + iMovie with Ken Burns effect): http://youtu.be/Z3W-qU5EP4A.

Any Mac OS screen capture tool will work, such as QuickTime Player or Snapz Pro X from Ambrosia Software, Inc.

The QuickTime Player screen recordings are of your entire screen, so you should be prepared to crop the video. If you don't have sufficient video editing software, Snapz Pro would be the better choice.

I've used Screenflow for some times now and I'm satisfied with the performance. It captures the whole screen but you can crop the video afterwards in Screenflow.

One big advantage is the possibility to exchange the cursor with a custom image (like a white circle) so it looks more like a touch.

I installed iPhone Simulator Capture today. With SIMBL installation it works. But it displayed an alert window on every simulator first run. My version is 272. I downloaded latest source from the Github. Build the code and replaced the bundle file that xcode created with the file under Library/Application Support/SIMBL. So it is working now. No version test alert window.
