I hope it has the following features:
- Ability to record keystrokes.
- Save as MP4 format.
- Clip video segments.
- Convert to GIF format.

OBS Studio is free and customizable, though it might require plugins for some features like GIF export.

For macOS, some of the best screen recorders are ScreenFlow for its advanced editing tools, Snagit for simplicity, and Movavi for being budget-friendly. If you're looking for a free option, VLC and ApowerREC also offer good functionality.
From my experience loom is easy to use and works well for screen recording, though for advanced editing or GIF conversion, you might need a separate tool.
Kap is free and simple, with built in GIF export. For keystrokes, though, you might need an additional plugin.
Snagit is a solid option. It has all those features, including GIF conversion and easy video clipping.
I'd recommend Screen Flow. It’s great for editing, and you can record keystrokes. Plus, it exports in MP4 and GIF formats.
Camtasia! It's feature packed, supports MP4, and lets you clip and edit videos. I believe it can capture keystrokes too.
