I'm talking about screen recording the modeling process to show how the design changed over time, and how many changes are required to finish a project. It would be a presentation video, hopefully no longer than a minute long when sped up.
I don't know, I've had (very few luckily!) occassions where a client visiting the office for a meeting would end up sticking around while I make changes. This is the worst really.
I allways compare it to when I bring my car to the garage for maintainance. I don't stand there staring over the mechanics shoulder or question the time put in. It just seems rude.

Also not sure if you mean you want a built in screen capture feature. There are lots of programs for both windows and mac that do this.

So are you saying you would like to show the client the entire process of you placing a wall, stretching it, adjusting surface materials, creating a composite, changing the renovation filter settings, creating views, etc., for the entire project (at a much increased speed)?This is another reason why it would be better if the model creation video was created by ArchiCAD rather than a separate screen recording software.
Or do you want a view of the 3D model only so you can see it at it progresses.
The first I think would be terribly boring for you clients.
The second may be interesting but you would constantly have to adjust the 3D view to show the parts of the model that you want them to see.
For both you would surely have to edit out (or stop recording) bits you don't want the client to see - so you would become a movie editor as well as a CAD operator.
