Cannot choose screen recording quality

I cannot choose Quality for screen recording... please help!
My system is 10.9 and my QuickTime Player is Version 10.3 (727.1).

I don't think that's the case for me. The video I record does not look HQ, and I cannot export it higher than 480...
Dedpends on how you try to re-transcode it. For instance, it appears that the Mavericks Finder level service will allow you to upconvert the video but why bother? Doing so normally just makes for a larger file storage size with degraded video display:
I.e., the "Export" option normally prevents the user from upconverting files to a display/encode size larger than the original.

  • Screen Recording from Quicktime.

    I cannot start screen recording from Quicktime. Every time I click on record or the triangle for options, the window underneath is selected. It's like my computer does not recognize tHas anyone else had this issue?
    I am running the latest version of OSX 10.7.3 and have this issue on my iMac and Air.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply.  All I did was enter a fade in at the start and a fade out at the end.  I didn't enter any transitions in the actual video.  The screen recording coming from QuickTime is H.264/AAC.  It just doesn't look right once it gets added into iMovie.  It seems to have something to do with the cropping too maybe as I have to select Fit in Frame in my project so that it doesn't get cropped out.  Even without exporting just playing my project in iMovie looks like poor quality without going to iTunes?
    Is there no way to add fade in/out in QuickTime then I wouldn't even use iMovie?  Thanks!

  • Quicktime Screen Recording

    I have Quicktime and have now downloaded Quicktime Pro. In my file pull down menu I can not choose screen recording and that's what I want to do. Do I need additional upgrade to Quicktime to record screen activity?

    What options do you have in the File menu ?.
    Not these ?.

  • Higher Quality screen recording

    Hey, I need to make a screen recording. I already have the soundflower trick for computer audio and that helped a bunch, but what I really want to know, is how can I record with QT and get up to 720p quality?
    things I have already tried:
    -Basically everything on the app store. there are quite a few applications that CLAIM to be able to do what i want, but none have yet succeded.
    -Quicktime pro 7. It's not free and has the same quality issues as QT.
    -snapz pro x. now this is an amazing option, the only problem is that the visual effects I plan to record with this are quite taxing when it comes to computer performance, so i need the recording software to display the lag in real time when im recording so i can adjust the settings acordingly. So for example:
    my computer (while not recording) can display these affects smoothly. however, when I am recording the FPS drops significantly. quicktime displays this dip in frames to me by slowing down what i see on my display (what will be in the video) Snapz however will continue displaying high FPS while the video i just recorded might have dropped significantly. I know it's a bit of a specific problem, but there you go.
    -bootcamping and trying to run fraps. simply doesnt work. the program the effects are on doesnt work on bootcamp. there are other reasons that were explained to me but i cant be bothered to write them here because they are very technical and long winded.
    I know this is all very specific but i have one more requirement... I would like to spend $20 or less. I know its a lot, but im depending on the fantastic apple community to come through.
    thanks,

    I have the same question, and have looked at the answers here. I am not trying to answer your question, just add to it.
    I have used snapz pro x and find that I like that way quicktime displays whats on your screen with the same amount of lag that will be in the finished video, while snapz does not. surely there is a way, deep in preferences or maybe even in terminal, that will enable me to take higher quality images in my screen recordings. I find the audio is fine but the image is what I have a problem with. I dont have the 100+ dollars to spend on other screen recording software, and would really appreciate some help.

  • Quicktime Screen Recording - Higher quality missing

    Everywhere I've read that Quicktime screen recording has a medium and a higher quality setting, but when I try to do a screen recording, it doesn't give me any quality options. It just has options for the microphone. See the attached photo.
    How can I get it to give me an option for high quality screen recording? The default seems to be lower quality, which I can't use. Thanks in advance for any help!!

    Hello all, first post here.

    Because right now the recordings seem bad quality. I am a game developer and I am planing to use quick time to take videos of various special FX demos...
    So here is the best video I could get with quicktime... Note this is not a very good video I was just testing.

    Hi Sansony,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand you would like to record audio from the headphones you connected to your computer. When recording audio with QuickTime Player, you can choose to use the built-in microphone, an external microphone you’ve connected, or a microphone from a connected Apple display. Please use the following article as a reference.
    Mac Basics: QuickTime Player creates, plays, edits, and shares video and audio files
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4024
    Clicking the triangle icon gives you additional options, such as letting you choose whether to use the built-in microphone on your Mac, an external microphone you've connected to your Mac, a microphone from a connected Apple display, or the option to simply use no microphone at all. The triangle also allows you to adjust the finished quality of your screen recording, select whether or not your mouse clicks are shown during the recording (the pointer is highlighted when you click), and to select what location (on your Mac) to save your screen recording when finished.
    Have a great day,
    Joe

  • Screen Recording Video - Which Preset do I use?

    Hi. I am using a free screen recording software...I've tried both CamStudio and Debut...and I was wondering which Preset I should use when I create a new project? I'm thinking Hard Disk, Flash Memory Camcorder but I don't know for sure...
    I am having trouble getting the video to export sharp and clear. The videos are good quality when I record but something seems to be happening to the files when I import them into Premiere and add my animations. When I export back out as .flv (to add to website) they are extremely low quality.
    I'm wondering if this has to do with the preset from the very beginning. I've worked on videos within Premiere before but they were using actual footage from the video camera...not using Screen Recording devices.
    I've tried exporting the files as .AVI, .MOV, .MPG, etc. and still get the same low-quality export.
    Thank you.
    Leslie

    Leslie,
    I cannot tell you the Preset directly, but think that you might find some useful information in the links in this ARTICLE.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • HT201066 Why does "New Screen Recording" record in Photo-JPEG codec?

    Something's changed on me... Now when I use QuickTime to record (using "New Screen Recording"), it records the portion of the screen I've selected same as always but the resulting file is way fat.
    Get Info says its recorded as: codec Photo-JPEG.
    It used to record in H.264 but now it's a bloated file and this screwy wrong format.
    Why?
    How do I change it back to record screen as a H.264 file?
    I see only options for Quality: Medium or High. (I choose Medium.)
    I'm using latest Lion and QT.
    Any ideas...? Thanks

    Further research answered my question. Found my answer posted by QuickTimeKirk on a related topic:
    "There are two options for quality in the screen recording set up (Medium and High). Medium uses Photo-JPEG codec and High uses H.264. Medium quality actually makes much higher file sizes."
    My thanks to QuickTimeKirk. Since I haven't seen any of this extremely helpful info posted here or in a Google web search, I must assume I'm the only idiot on the block. However, let's get the word out.

  • Screen record more fps QuickTime X?

    Hi,
    With QuickTime X, you can do a screen recording. It works fine, except for that it seems to have a really low frame rate. Moving things look all jerky. Is there a way to turn up the frame rate? On the window to make a new screen recording there is a little arrow pointing down and it gives different options. Under "Quality", I have "High" selected. Do you just have to buy QuickTime Pro or Screenflow or something to get a higher frame rate, or can I turn this up?

    Although you can't directly choose the frame rate, QTX does allow for one adjustment that may help. "High" refers to the image quality, not the video frame rate. If you choose "Medium" instead, the image quality will decrease (perhaps imperceptibly) but the frame rate will rise.

  • Quicktime Screen Recording freezing in fullscreen recordings

    Hi
    I was trying to record in fullscreen of an application, namely a game, using Quicktime.
    The screen recording works fine when recording windows, but as soon as I open one in fullscreen, my mac freezes. Just a black screen, and none of the keys work, so I have to resort to rebooting.
    Is there a solution to this?
    Thank you in advance.

    That causes 'muddy' pics:
    FCPX is basically meant for video = standards, e.g. 1080 or 720 ...
    Screen-recordings, in 99% cases, are 'off'' those standard resolutions => 'un-even' scaling neccessary = loss of quality.
    (plus, the harm added, to playback those files again in some 'uneven' scaling...)
    best-practice:
    Use designated tools, as the widly recommended Screenfflow ...
    Plan B)
    … for the small budget:
    learn how to create FCPX with custom resolutions ...

  • Remote control & screen recording for group Xcode + iPhone lectures?

    I'll lecture on programming the iPhone.
    Based on my past experience with lecturing on Java programming (and the hurdles of correctly recording all this), I want to access the students' OS X desktops right from my (lecturer's) OS X desktop.
    I need a solution with the least overhead. That is, keeping open, say, 6-8 remote sessions in the background to quickly switch to should not put a noticeable burden on the lecturers' machine (currently a Mac Mini). If this achievable, I need an offline solution that can connect to the client OS X desktops in less than 4-5 seconds so that I don't need to wait much.
    I consider supporting high-resolution, high-quality (with audio) video recording without putting much burden on the CPU a definite advantage. (No problem if the particular "mass VNC / remote desktop" solution doesn't directly support this, however - I can go the "separate screen recorder" route.)

    I understand the Ipad is no complete substitute for a computer, but since I have mine, I use no more the lap or netbook for classroom presentations; I found easier to use the Ipad connected to a projector with the vga adapter. I see no limitations or problems, I simply synchronize my powerpoint presentations from my PC to the Ipad, and that's all. The Ipad is even better, you just touch "play" on keynote and the presentation begins immediately on  the screen; you don't have delays or need to change from the computer display to the projector. When synchronizing,  you have sometimes to arrange some image or text but it is no major problem. What is strange to me, is to have to go to the desk where the ipad is, to change slide each time. The Ipad is a step to the future, why cannot be remote controlled? Why can't I just walk around the room with my Ipad in my hand, speaking to the audience, and advancing slide just touching my Ipad when I want? I expect Apple, or somebody, design soon an inalambric device to be connected to the ipad, with a receiver connected to the projector, as there are so many for the laptops. I will run to buy it. Apple, please listen.

  • QT Screen Recording audio app + narration

    I'm trying to create a QT Screen Recording where the app in question is an audio app - the only audio recorded is the microphone. One solution is to use Soundflower. Soundflower itself is simple.. after installing, use Garageband's audio preferences to output to Soundflower, and set QT's Screen Recording audio input to Soundflower. This sends all the GB audio directly to QT.
    However, that excludes the Mac's own microphone and anything I might wish to say - and record.
    An Audio Midi Setup "aggregate device" allegedly allows multiple sound sources to be mixed together. I created one using the Mac's microphone and the Soundflower audio source (i.e. Garageband output).
    A block diagram would be:
    Garageband audio out>Soundflower
    Aggregate device: Mac Mic + Soundflower (Garageband output)
    Aggregate device is set as the QT audio input device - except it doesn't show up in the Record tool!!
    And what should the System Audio Output be set to during QT recording?
    Soundflower offers another piece supposedly offering audio mixing called SoundflowerBED. It's running up in my Menu bar, but the choices it offers are cryptic.
    Any wisdom on this???
    thanks - Karl out West

    Can I record audio when screen recording?
    Depends on which app you are using and what form of audio you want to record. E.g., QT X can record audio via the line in or built-in microphone option but not the system audio. On the other hand, an application like Snapz Pro X can record microphone and/or the Mac system audio.
    Are there settings for the quality of recording, etc?
    QT X has two quality presets from which to choose. Third-party screen capture apps may have other options. E.g., Snapz Pro X allows the user to select any of audio and/or video compression options for which the system is configured for final output.
