Screen Capture with Video of Presenter

How do I make a screen capture with a video of the presenter (me). Is this built into captivate? It is simple with Camtasia. I could not find this option in captivate. Does it exist?

Sorry, doesn't exist in Captivate. Perhaps try Adobe Presenter Video Creator.
Sounds like you already have Camtasia, I'd stick with that for this type of work. Actually, if you want full motion video, Camtasia is the better choice, Especially when it comes to the editing process.
Captivate rocks for the slide by slide capturing and creating interactive "video" type output. But Camtasia leaves it in the dust when it comes to the full motion video. Camtasia sucks for creating interactive type videos that Captivate does. Just different tools for different workflows.

Screen capture with keynote presentations

After switching from PP to Keynote a year ago, my only disappointment is that I can't do screen-capture of my presentations. With PP, I could use the screen capture program SnapzPro to make a movie of my presentation, with voice over. Typically, if a particular slide didn't go well in class, I would record myself talking through the animations (bringing on pieces of a diagram one at a time, for example), and then post the resulting video on my course website. Doesn't work with Keynote, however, and the SnapzPro people don't have any info about when this problem might be solved from their end. Is there some other program I should be using? Does Apple itself make anything that will do the trick? Is solving this problem something Apple is working on? Or, am I stuck redoing my slides in PP?

Hi there
I read your post. I use Snapz Pro X too, and I was surprised to learn it doesn't work with Keynote. Here's a possible work around.
Record your voice-over on any recorder and export to itunes or if you have sound studio loaded on your mac, use it. From the inspector you can access you voice-over for use in your project.
I've recorded a voice-over in sound studio for a keynote project. From sound studio I export to my desktop. From the desktop I drag and drop the audio onto the slide I need the voice-over on. This works well for me. try it.
Once you've got it set the way you like, export the Keynote project to QT or whatever format you like. In QT, the project will play like a movie. You can save the file, burn to a disk, or post to a web page.
I hope this helps

What is best screen capture for video to be edited in FCP?

Hello:
I need to add some video from a client's website to include in a video being edited in ye olde FCP 7.
The rest of the video is ProRes 422.
Is there a screen capture software package that can capture in a compatible format and be high resolution enough?
I have looked at ScreenFlow and Camtasia for Mac but they don't have much info on their sites about video specs.
Client wants to capture a webcast and show the video in context of the website it plays on.
I could just shoot the screen with my HD camera but I'm hoping there is something better out there.
Oh - and yes... I have thought of cheating it.... superimposing the original video into a screen grab of the website but the client doesn't have the original video.
Thanks for any info.

I've been using Camtasia recently and there's a 30 day trial

And you can record the entire screen or choose just a smaller area. Great for capturing video on a website

Can you do screen capture with adobe CC product?

What I am looking at doing is recording some educational video where part will be just a copy of a recording from camera but I want to be able to switch to what the student would see is happening on my computer screen as I continue to narrate the lesson then go back to a normal video. I see this being done all over but it is new to me. I have the full subscription to Abode CC. Can anyone point me to the application or applications that will do this. Hope this is clear enough?

On the other hand, I use a very good screen capture program that is free.
For software tutorials, I use this: CamStudio - Free Screen Recording Software
Just be careful to record using a good codec. I use Lagarith. It is lossless and is easily edited in Premiere Pro.
For static screen shots to post in the forum or if I don't need motion, I use the Snipping Tool that comes with Windows 7.

Shading screen captures with drop-shadows

Hi there, everyone.
I have a bunch of screen-captures (.png) that I need to darken/shade so I can highlight a particular button or text box. The trouble is that these screens all come with a surrounding drop shadow, which I don't want to darken/shade. The images are all of different dimensions, but the drop-shadow is always the same, so I was hoping to insert a gray box (with rounded corners, in case that matters) via script or action that is a fixed number of pixels (x by y) smaller than the canvas (and a couple pixels north of center).
Anybody know how to do this, or have a better idea?
Thanks!
Dave

On the Mac at least those window-shadows are transparent and have RGB-values of 0/0/0, so one need not mask them out if one clipping masks a black layer to the window’s screenshot and reduces that layer’s transparency according to taste. (Clipping Mask can be created by setting »grouped« for the top layer to »true« in JavaScript.)
Edit: Sorry, I assumed you were talking about screenshots of single windows, but you probably mean screenshots of the whole desktop, so above would be of no use to you.

Taking screen captures from video

I have a video on iphoto and i want to know if there is a way to save screen captures from that video. Thank you

With "Grab" you can capture the screen, a window, a section, or a timed screen.
You will find "Grab" in Applications -> Utilities.
Just start "Grab", and then in iPhoto navigate your video to the frame you want to capture, then take the screen shot.

Screen Capture with ActionScript

Dear all,
As most of previous posts, I've client application written by
flash which enable user to create some mind map. Certainly, a
screen snapshot of the mind map for a thumbnail to png or jpeg and
uploading to server are necessary features. My developing
environment is flash, FMS, Apache, PHP and MySQL.
After searching Google and this forum, I found three options
available with it's limitation:
1. Use third party fake web cam driver (monitor pretending
web cam) but which induce the cost of buying the driver. I just
wonder if flash 8 can include another class for monitor just like
the web cam.
2. With Flash 8, use BitmapData class and post the pixel
data. It's too horrible if you've a few hundred users.
3. Writing some plugin to do the screen capture and
communicate either with the client flash or directly to the PHP
server. In my project, I prefer the plugin (e.g. written by Java)
to communicate with flash. As the flash application now already use
XML to communicate with the PHP server, I would like to use XML to
communicate between Java and Flash. I haven't check details for the
Java documentation, I just assume it'll work.
May be the most practical way is to direct the user to print
screen and save the file as jpeg or png. However, we developer
should develop usability. Can anyone suggest some better way to do
it? Is there any class or tools exist in FMS can make the job
better done? I'm new to FMS.
Best regards,
Teres

Sounds like you might be running flash in your browser, which
have no
solution for, but if yoy are - or can run flash as an exe
then you can
make it with mProjector, which adds a captureScreen call into
Flash

Screen capture of video editing software

Hi there
Has anyone had any luck with recording the screen of a video editing software? I have tried to record some actions in a piece of software that has a video preview window among other things. The video or audio does not record in Captivate. Has anyone had any luck with this type of thing at all? If not - any suggestions?
Thanks

TDS6804B screen capture with optional file overwrite

I have a TDS6804B and I need to save a screen capture as a BMP. However, I need have the option (via some sort of popup question) to save over the file if it exists already. I'm sure that I'l figure out the whole thing eventually, but if someone has a solution already, I'd appreciate the assistance (as would my boss).
Thanks,
Allen
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have the instrument driver, and I made a simple vi to "export" the
scope screen, but I wanted some sort of dialog only if the file already
existed. So...I made a set of vi's. I've attached them in case anyone
needs a simple file replacement option when exporting the screen for a
6000 series scope. The "File Overwrite.vi" should be of use to
anyone. I'm not sure how well I "wrote" these (and... whether they're
worth sharing), but they should do what I need anyway.

Audio sync problem with screen capture/gameplay video from Bandicam, converted by Freemake.

I recently purchased the student discount for Adobe creative cloud which gave me access to Premiere Pro CC which I've been using to edit my YouTube videos.
I use a popular recording software called Bandicam to record my PC gameplay. Bandicam like many other software's allows me to record my commentary OVER the gameplay. When I play back the recorded video in windows media viewer the audio and gameplay are in complete synchronization. I then use Freemake Video Compressor to convert the recorded gameplay from an AVI file to an MP4 file. Then I import that file into the latest version of Adobe Premiere Pro. When I play back the video during editing, the audio and video appears out of sync by about five seconds.
Like I said, I don't record my gameplay and audio separately like some other people, so it can't possibly be an editing mistake. I've tried dozens of different editing software's (all free crappy ones) and everything is fine. This issue only occurs with Adobe Premiere Pro. I have installed the latest update of the program and have just recently tried re-installing it as well. Nothing seems to work for me, or for the many, many people who I have seen in random forums all over the net with this same problem. It appears to be an issue that isn't only happening to me.
Due to this issue, I'm very behind in my YouTube schedule. Apologies if this is rather long, I just want to get what I paid for.
Thanks for taking the time to read and respond

Title edited by moderator to make it descriptive of the problem.

Premiere cannot handle clips with variable framerate.
Your converted clips need to have constant framerate.
Otherwise use a converter like Handbrake.

Screen capture as video and multicasting

halo everyone, i am planing to do a multicast program which capture the local screen as video and transmit to all client.
It is one way communication which is clients are always only on listening mode(It cannot be stop). Server can choose to broadcast or stop the broadcast.
eg software: TightProjector / VNC
Currently my multicast connection is done, all the client can get message from multicast server.
I stuck on how to capture local screen as video and transmit to all the client.
Any method for me to start with it?
What should i looking for??
thx in adv
:D

Screen Capture for Video?

Hi all,
I would like to do the following two things:
*_ITEM A:_*
1) Insert a DVD.
2) Hit the Pause Button.
3) Get a Screen Shot of just the still frame.
*_ITEM B:_*
1) Insert a DVD.
2) Capture only say a 25 second segment out of a 2 hour DVD and save it in a separate file (QT, AVI, MPEG, etc).
Is there a way to do this within the OS? And before anyone answers, no the Grab functionality does not work with either of the two "Items" above. If there is not a way to do this within the OS, any other suggestions for software would be appreciated.
I have a MacBookPro, Tiger 10.4.1 running Parallels and Windows XP. So the software can be either MAC or PC based.
Thanks in advance!

Hi
You're right, the built-in screen grabs do not work with DVD Player.
First, use VLC Player to play a DVD that you want to screencap, and you will be able to use the normal screengrab keystrokes to get stills.
For movies, you should look into Snapz Pro.
