Create Screen Capture / Video Capture / Screencast using Flex?

Hi there,
Has there been any update to this conversation: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/420807
That is, is there any way to record the desktop using Flex?
Thanks,
Mike

hi
you can do it with AIR using Native Process - see http://gotoandlearn.com/play.php?id=125
if its not AIR, it cant be done (as Flash Player has no access to your system except file browsing)

Problem in creating client side PDF with image using flex and AlivePD

I need a favor I am creating client side PDF with image using flex and AlivePDF for a web based application. Images have been generated on that pdf but it is creating problem for large size images as half of the image disappeared from that pdf.I am taking the image inside a canvas . How do i control my images so that they come fit on that pdf file for any image size that i take.
Thanks in advance
Atishay

I am having a similar and more serious problem. It takes a
long time to execute, but even attaching a small image balloons the
pdf to 6MB plus. After a few images it gets up to 20MB. These are
100k jpeg files being attached. The resulting PDF is too large to
email or process effectively. Does anyone know how to reduce
size/processing?

How to Get Proper Video Screen Captures (Screencasts) of Lightroom or Photoshop in Win?

Hello. I would like to get proper screen captures of Lightroom on Win 7/64, showing all screen elements as you see them. I tried FastStone Capture 8 and SnagIt 11.1, but they have various differing issues. Do you have a good hint?
In my screen capture, i want a mouse-click-sound each and every time the mouse is clicked. This is not "system audio", because the computer doesn't play a sound for every ordinary click. The capture software must add that sound. (I'm aware i can add the sound manually in post production, but want it recorded together with video.)
Experience with Faststone Capture 8's video captures:
I get well usable footage
Does optionally record mouse-click-sound for each click, with adjustable volume
Does not properly record some elements of Photoshop or Lightroom screens:
- cursors sometimes look rough or double-sized
- Lightrooms "TAT (Target Correction Tool)" disappears while being dragged on the image
- the color selector box of Lightroom's Adjustment Brush is not shown, while the cursor working within that color selector box is shown
- Lightroom's three-second-splash-message after Undo etc. is not shown
(All these missing elements do show up in *still* captures with Faststone Capture. They also *do* show up in video captures done with SnagIt.)
Experience with Snagit 11.1's video captures:
Does properly capture all those elements that FastStone does *not* capture (listed above)
Does *not* optionally include a mouse-click-sound for each and every mouse click (they record "system audio", but a sound on every click is not "system audio")
Videos are less smooth, cursor sometimes "jumping"
Now do you know a screen capture software for Win 7 that can
properly record *anything* that's seen within Lightroom and Photoshop
and automatically add a mouse-click-sound for each and every click i do
and produce smooth footage without "jumping cursors"?
Thanks for your real-life experiences!

Hi, thanks for your suggestions. Now i also tried:
Camstudio:
- mouse click sounds very weird (my mistake?), does NOT record LR overlays like adjustment brush's colour selector
Screen-cast-o-matic, optionally online, free:
- DOES record overlays like adjustment brush's colour selector. Mouse-click-sound not in free version. "System audio" is promised in paid version, but that does not necessarily mean a sound for each mouse-click. Contacted support for more
Straightforward using, lots of short video tutorials (useful for absolute beginners).
Free downloaded program 1.4 only works on primary monitor, the online launched app also records on secondary monitor
Don't see option to record a "window", only set resolutions
More "jumpy" than Faststone
More interesting pro-version seems to be rent-only-licenced, at 15 USD per year, not a one-time-buy
Camtasia:
DOES record overlays like adjustment brush's colour selector
.camrec format isn't offered for recording, only .trec and .avi (on Win 7)
Exported MP4 looks blurry and has colour blotches, that are not visible in the initial recording, only after exporting; this doesn't change at all after setting very high quality MP4 options; i guess i didn't look properly

Myles, thanks again, here are my findings with Camtasia:
Camtasia:
DOES record overlays like adjustment brush's colour selector
.camrec format isn't offered for recording, only .trec and .avi (on Win 7), but trec is usable just as .camrec i guess
Exported MP4 looks blurry and has colour blotches, that are not visible in the initial recording, only after exporting; this doesn't change at all after setting very high quality MP4 options; i guess i didn't look properly
i see how to add mouse-click sounds; i don't like the sound they provide so much; maybe it can be exchanged.

Best screen capture for using with premiere elements?

i have been scouring the net to figure out how to get better results than what i'm getting with the camstudio (love the program, and it looks great until i pull it into premiere). I have read that it can be a codec issue or an fps issue, but before i follow those trails, i was wondering if there is a screen capture software that works well with premiere, without a lot of hassle. (not necessarily free, just reliable and hassle free with good quality in premiere elements) Anyone have experience with this?
thanks in advance!

Well, we've used Camtasia and Adobe's Captivate to make tutorials for http://www.muvipix.com. They're both excellent, and I've never had a problem with either.
Chuck Engels is really the expert on both those program though. You can find him on the Muvipix forum daily.
Steve.
Would you please provide an update to the process of screen capture? What does muvipix.com and lynda.com use? I'm considering a project where my granddaughters create a couple of training videos for kids. It's a dream, but might work!
Thanks.

Screen capture error, using "ctrl command shift 4"

when I captured the screen using "ctrl command shift 4", the captured picture is cracked. but when using "command shift 4", the captured picture is fine.
like below
How can I fix it?

use CMD Shift 4
better still use a FREE screen capture APP like ducklink
http://www.ducklink.com/p/free-screen-capture-tool-on-mac/
Best one is the APP SnapNDrag I use all the time.

Automated screen captures in emulator tests

Hi all
I'm created a "virtual user" to run and test my midp apps by running them in j2meunit environment which in turn is run in the toolkit emulator. All this is run in my Ant build.
I would like from my j2meunit tests to be able to create screen captures for my documentation. I do this routinely with my J2SE applications when run in JUnit or JFCUnit but I really like to be able to create these documentation screen captures (screen shots or screen dumps) automatically.
Could anyone help me or point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance!

I have since recalled the tool I was thinking of was an authoring tool and the problem I had when I looked at it was I couldn't write the topics the way I wanted and I couldn't use it as a tool to extract the images. I might have used it just for that purpose.
Take a look at http://www.indoition.com and download the PDF there. It lists lots of tools and may you will find something in that.
If you do find something that works for you, don't forget to post back here.

Screen captures become corrupt as attachment in Mail

I have created a screen capture (with shiftapple4) which creates an PNG image on my desktop. Then I create a new email message and attaches the screen capture (not using the Windows compatible attachment mode) and sends it.
When doing like this the the attached image becomes corrupt. Regardless if I send it to myself (on my mac) or to a windows user using Thunderbird or Pine. I can't open the file and when I try to save the attachment to disk the file becomes empty (file size is 0 bytes). Pine gives a little more feedback and complains about errors in the Base64 encoding.
The thing is, that if I first open the PNG file in the Preview tool and saves it to a new PNG file (save as...) it all works! It also works if I simply copies the file to another computer (linux) and back (using scp). I have no problem of sending any other attachments than the screen captures. I think this is very strange!
Anyone have a clue what the error is?

Creating Screen Savers

Can anyone tell me how to go about creating my own screen saver for MAC 0S 10.4? Do I need any special type of software to do this? What kind of files are the screen savers like "flurry". Please help.

HI, Tim.
Screen savers like Flurry are Quartz Compositions created with Quartz Composer. This Google search will provide you with links to a variety of Web pages discussing Quartz Composer and using it to create screen savers.
You can use your own pictures as a screen saver: see "Mac OS X 10.4 Help: Using your own pictures as a screen saver."
If you use iPhoto, you can make an album or a selection of photos your screen saver: see "iPhoto 6.0 Help: Making an album your screen saver."
Good luck!

Creating training videos from screen captures?

Hello folks,
Is it possible to create interactive videos from a series of screen captures. I understand the preferred method is to use Captivate to record a session, however, all my software walk throughs are created in a VM and installing Captivate inside a VM is not always practical.
In the past, when I worked with RWD uPerform, I captured static screens using a really good/free tool called Gadwin screen capture. Once completed, I could add these screens into RWD, select clickable areas and RWD would do the rest by simulating clicks, motions, etc.
Is this possible in Captivate?
Thus far, my experience with Captivate involved doing direct recordings, in a manner similar to Camtasia.
Thank you.

Hi there
If you are seeking a smaller footprint (read mobile or possibly portable) version of Captivate, please request same using the Wish Form. Adobe development does pay attention to these. If enough folks request something or report a certain issue, it gains a higher priority on the list of features or fixes.
Cheers... Rick

How can I easily video screen capture my interactions on an ipad2 so I can play back to demo content I have created?

how can I easily video screen capture my interactions on an ipad2 so I can play back to demo content I have created?

Hi,
Thanks for the response but I know how to do a screen capture but wanted to be able to capture myself interacting with the ipad ansd turn into a movie i.e. showing all the movement / animation etc as I interact.
I have now figured out a good solution. Using AirServer you can wirelessly connect you ipad to your mac/pc then using a video capture solution like Snapz Pro you can capture what you are doing to create the video.
Cheers
