The script first sets the parameters for recording, then gets the screen resolution and calculates the waiting time for each frame. Next, the script initializes the recording, clicks on the screen focus, and presses Ctrl+Shift+R to start the recording. During the recording process, the script loops to capture screenshots and save them to a video file while controlling the frame rate. Finally, the script releases the keys and clicks on the screen focus to stop the recording.<\/p>\n<p>Please note that this is just a simple example and actual automated recording scripts may require more complex logic and control.
