Problem Statement
The screenshot app CleanShot has a very useful feature: when I record my screen, the video is not automatically saved to a local folder on my computer.
After the recording is finished, a small window appears in the bottom-left corner where I can either save the recording or copy it to the clipboard. This is extremely convenient when I need to quickly record a short video, copy it to the clipboard, and paste it into a chat to send to someone. In this case, there is no real need to save the video file.

Proposed Solution
One possible implementation would be similar to CleanShot: after recording, give the user the option to either copy the video to the clipboard without saving it, or save it as a file.
Right now, if the file is saved automatically, I need to go to the folder, find the file, and only then send it to the right person. This is not very convenient.
It would be great to skip these extra steps and be able to send the recording immediately wherever needed, without saving it and cluttering up the Mac.
