AppPreview: Record iOS-Simulator w/ 100% scale while showing 33% scale


I want to prepare my AppPreview with the iOS iPhone 7 Plus simulator. To be able to operate the app, I need to scale 33% on my monitor. Is it possible to still output the video at 100% in order to get the best quality for the AppPreview?
