In order to install it - open your Movavi Screen Recorder menu → Check for Updates and update the program to the latest version.
After installing it, depending on your OS processor, the steps of installation will be different.
Go to Apple Menu → About this Mac, to find out which processor your device is using.

5) Select 'Shut Down'. Wait until screen gets dark.
6) Hold Touch ID or Power button for 10 seconds until under Apple start-up logo you can see the message 'Loading startup options…' Stop holding power or Touch ID button after.

A note regarding 'Reduced Security' on Apple Silicon.
The “Reduced Security” setting still provides your Mac with powerful security, only allowing operating systems approved by Apple to run.
ACE is a standard audio plug-in, not a kernel extension. However, because it receives enhanced privileges to access your system's audio, Apple uses their existing kernel extension verification system to allow ACE to load on MacOS 11 and higher.
