Animation codec best for screen capture?

HD for Indies links to DV Guru who says that the Animation codec, 16 bit, is best for screen capture. Comment?

It's the most commonly used codec for this... I've used it with success.

What is the best software to use for screen capture on a PC for use with FCPX?

What is the best software to use for screen capture on a PC (windows 7) for use with FCPX? I've tried Camtasia and camstudio however the avi files cannot be imported by FCPX and the mov files produced by these programs are shown as just black screens in FCPX.

I use to face this issue every now and then (as a freelancer) when I use to cut on FCP7.
if the material is DV and was captured using Sony VEGAS, Premiere or Edius, the footage generally worked fine. You'll find most people will tell you to convert it regardless, however I found no issues working with them.
A problem you'll definitely face is HDV material. Most PC editing software write HDV in their own codec, which can't be read in FCP.
The only thing I can think of is to try converting HDV meaterial to QuickTime using something like MPEG Streamclip, or something similar.
Good luck

Unable to edit default permission for Screen capturing of BB 8800 curve after downgrade OS to 4.3

For that i go to - Option->Security Options->Application Permissions->option button->Edit Default permissions->Interaction->Screen Capturing and it show only option "Deny" - So please suggest a solution

Greetings, welcome to the Forums.
There's lots of detail you left out...
There is no OS 4.3 for the 8800 model. So, what model BlackBerry do you have, found at Options > About?
What is your Operating System loaded to your device? Look at Options > About, third line down beginning with a "v.5.0.x.xxx", What is yours?
What screencapture application are you using?

Highest quality for screen captures?

I need to take screen grabs of various websites that I will later animate in either Flash or Final Cut Pro. What would you recommend to get the highest image quality? Saving the page as a .PDF and bringing into Photoshop for editing or taking a screen grab and bringing into Photoshop?
Thanks.

The largest possible size should be selected to turn off all font smoothing.
Try your screen capture with smoothing on and then off on a couple sample screen images. It really depends on what looks best after you resample the resolution in your final product in FCP or Flash.
You should also preview/test your output if you are working with moving screens and interlaced video in FCP. Your type may start to 'dance'.

Retaining video quality for screen capture export

I've spent hours searching all over the interwebs and trying every combination possible, but I cannot for the life of me get Premiere to maintain the quality of my video from a screen capture. This is for a software demo video I am making. Here are the settings for the video capture:
Recorded with ocam screen recorder (http://ohsoft.net/product_ocam.php). This produced decent quality, not perfect, but definitely readable.
Microsoft MPEG 4 part 3 (.AVI) codec
1024x768
30fps
6000Kbps bitrate
When I view the files in Windows Media Player or Quicktime they look fine (again, not perfect, but definitely usable)
However, when I import them into Premiere Pro the preview adds artifacts, especially around black text on white background.
My sequence settings in Premiere match the original video:
1024x768
Square pixels aspect ratio
30fps
Exporting produces the same problem, artifacts all over.
Oddly, sometimes the artifacts disappear, such as when a window is moved with the cursor. Suddenly all the text in that window gets clear for a second.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Over in the PrElements forum, Steve Grisetti (may be spelled wrong) who literally wrote the book http://www.amazon.com/Muvipix-Guide-Premiere-Elements-version/dp/1479311200/ has said that he uses Camtasia for all of the online tutorials he creates
You might try that... some Camtasia discussions, with things to avoid and help

What settings best for screen reading & min/no header/footer?

I prepare documents for reading online on web sites. How can I create pages that scroll smoothly and contain maximum text and other features on the page with minimum wasted white space. These documents are never intended to print anywhere - in fact want to discourage any such attempt. What settings are best for this in Adobe?

This really has nothing to do with Acrobat, but is a general question about reading information on a screen. There is no easy answer since people have monitors of different sizes and keep the monitors at different resolutions. I have no problem with discussing this here, but you might get a better response in the Design or Web Design forums. As a first step in the discussion, you might try to figure our what size monitor you want to target.

Tab key for screen capture

Hi All,
Cap2 takes a new screen capture when we hit the Tab key. Is
there a way to disable that?
Thanks in advance - Vijay

Hi,
I can see that the norm for most is to take a new screen grab
when hitting Tab; however, on a project that we are workign on, we
are narrating information about a set of fields in an application,
and prefer to ffill them all in on one slide.

Quicktime plugin for screen capture does not work in flash player 11.2

Hello,
I have created a quicktime plugin (it is .component file) for screen sharing purpose.
I have used quicktime framework for that. plugin is detected in flash player.
This plugin is working perfectly for flash player 11 and below.But,
It does not working in latest flash player 11.2.
I have seen following error on console -
Google Chrome Helper EH[240:e92b] *** QTCaptureSession warning:
Session received the following error while decompressing video:
Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-8974
"The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -8974.)".
Make sure that the formats of all video outputs are properly configured
Note - Compression format used in plugin is kBMPCodecType.
Please, help me.

The issue ended up being the change in resolution to my external monitor. Flash was unable to detect the proper coordinates of the color I was trying to select because I was running my monitor in HD mode rather than selecting an actual resolution from my monitor preferences. Changing the settings to an acutal resolution, instead of generic "HD mode" fixed the issue.

Using Premiere for screen captures

Hi Gang-
Would love to use Premiere to simply capture my screen actions along with my narrated audio so that I can take advantage of the speech-to-text functionality for print and search capabilities. Does anyone know if this is possible? Is there a way to tell Premiere to use my screen as the recording device? I've used SnapZPro X and Captivate on Mac and Windows respectively, but it's that speech-to-text functionality that I'd love to take advantage of in Premiere. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Rich

Paul-
Thanks for your reply. Yes, I saw that camtasia software, and while it looks impressive I really need something that has the speech-to-text capabilities. I have MacDictate (Dragon) but the Premiere CS4 has speech to text that actually syncs up to the timeline of the sequence. So if I search on "bulldog" and I have one occurrence of it somewhere in the middle of my sequence than I could take the user right to that point in the move. Catch my drift? I'd hate to have to film my screen from my camera but I may end up doing that in this case.... maybe someone else will come up with something clever. If I get a stroke of genius (very unlikely at this late hour) I'll be sure to post. Thanks again for your input.

Does firefox work with the Hypersnap-Dx pro for screen captures. I can't get it to work with scroll option??

I have been using Hypersnap dx pro for awhile now with firefox but it won't work with auto-scroll to get the whole page. Thanks.

A mouse, which is a pointing device, will not work with an iPad...there is no cursor for the mouse to move around. You must use the touch screen.

Codec options for DV capture using Firewire

I have a number of DV tapes that I want to capture using Firewire. Instead of capturing them as DV files, is there any way to have them captured as MPEG-4 files? I am using CS3 and debating whether to upgrade ti CS5.5 Thanks for any help.

Short answer: nope.
Capture as dv-avi then convert.
Why do you want them as mpeg-4?
DV-avi is much easier to edit.

Are there any converter or codec/plugin for Edius Captured Avi to be converted into Quicktime?

I have some avi files caputred on Edius. But I work on FCP 7. They do not play on fcp or premier cs6. I tried looking up discussions online, didn't get much help there. Is there a way to convert these AVIs to an .mov files so I can edit on fcp? I don't have access to a windows PC or the original mini dv tapes. I believe the footage was shot in HDV/ PAL. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
