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

Hello. I would like to get proper screen captures of Lightroom and Photoshop 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?
What's more: In my screen capture, i also 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, see below)
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", so a regular click on a menu item has no sound)
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!

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.
Other tests:
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 version:
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

    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.

    you download the cc desktop app (Creative Cloud Help | Creative Cloud for desktop) and then install your software using the same adobe id used to pay for your subscription.

  • How to get a custom screen capture size smaller than my slide size

    Hi,
    I'm trying to capture a fixed sized screen on my computer (a softphone) for use in a youtube hd size format training video. I can't seem to figure out how to customize the size of my screen capture so it fits only around the phone and leaves me blank space on my slides. Any ideas?
    Thanks!
    Nikkie

    Hi there
    This should be simple. From Captivate, when you set it up to record you simply define an area there.
    Or are you possibly saying you cannot consistently get a size set so that you can record many different projects perhaps over several days? If that's the case, perhaps you need to investigate using something like the freeware Sizer utility to configure things a bit.

  • Does creative cloud include any software for HD video screen capture?

    Does creative cloud include any software for HD video screen capture? I know that Captivate is not offered but are there other software applications available that do the same job? I am not wanting to make tutorials but I am a filmmaker wanting to integrate sequences with screen capture (which I will edit on Premiere)

    Thanks Brian,
    Spent some time yesterday doing research on this. There are good reviews and bad reviews for just about every screen capture application out there it seems.
    The top-ten reviews gave their gold medal to CamVerce, which I'll probably buy today.
    http://video-capture-software-review.toptenreviews.com/
    Yesterday I bought the Sonne Screen video which is rated 5th on the top-ten site. (I figured as I'm going to be editing on premiere I shoudn't need to pay for extra editing packages and as I'm not using it to create tutorials I really just want a good quality screen capture for Windows 8). However, I'm not really happy with the image quality on playback and I'm finding the technical assistance really poor from Sonne. I still haven't received an email confirmation from them.
    The others that I thought sounded right for me were WM Capture (though the top-ten review had a few negative things to say about it).
    Tried a couple of the free ones also. EZvid is very popular.
    Will see how I go and let you know. I'm sure this is very subjective and I'm probably not being as clear as I need to be about purpose of use.

  • Video screen Capturing compatible with FCP!!!

    Hello,
    I recently captured a lot of footage using Snapz Pro X to create a tutorial for a website. After importing it into FCP, it wants to render everything, all the time, for every small change. These render take hours and hours for the smallest change. What should I do? The Snapz Pro X quicktime files are not FCP compatible. Is there a new program to get high quality video screen captures or a way to convert the files I have now? Any help would be extremely great.
    Thanks
    Erik

    In iShowU I am recording at 1440x1080 30p, and capture area is same as video. Then I am importing the quicktime files into FCP. The sequence settings are Apple ProRes 422 1440x1080 60i. Capture Preset is HDV -Apple ProRes 422. The sequence settings are Frame Size 1440x1080 as well as aspect ratio. Something somewhere is off and its driving me mad. haha
    Thanks

  • How do I perform a screen capture to print or save?

    How do I perform a screen capture to print or save?

    Press the Shift, Command, and 3 keys to capture the whole screen.
    Press the Shift, Command, and 4 keys to capture a draggable part of the screen, or follow it with the spacebar to capture a window.
    Open the PNG on the desktop. Alternatively, combine either of the above with the Control key to put the screenshot onto the clipboard instead of the desktop.

  • How to Get the Debugger Screen in WEB Front end of SRM

    Hi Gurus,
    I have couple of questions for SRM.
    1. How to Get the Debugger Screen in WEB Front end of SRM so i can debug the application which is running in EBP system??
    2. How to set the flag for external debugging (HTTP)??
    3. Using SICF how to set the ITS services ( Like BBPSC01 )for internal ITS so as soon as i place the order it should stop at the break point which i have set in the application.
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Manoj Tiwari

    Setting up Debugging for Integrated ITS
    Tcode SICF.
    Select service (e.g. default_hostàbcàguiàsapàitsàbbpsc01).
    Change service settings and insert parameter ~GENERATEDYNDPRO=1.
    Find program to debug. E.g. SE93. Enter bbpsc01 à Display and get Program field (SAPLBBP_SC_UI_ITS)
    Execute SE38 and enter program name.
    Turn HTTP Debugging ON. UtilitiesàSettingsàDebugging. Click Actv and username.
    Add HTTP Breakpoint. Display source code and select Utilitiesàbreakpointsàset.
    On “External Debugging” select ‘HTTP Breakpoint’.
    Remember to remove breakpoints, deactivate debugging and remove parameter GENERATEDYNPRO.
    Can run program RSBREAKPOINTS to find which programs you have breakpoints set in.
    Have fun with EBP
    If you have any more questions i would be happy to help you. Send me mail on [email protected]

  • How to get my images always order by file name, and not by time of captur, in all the folders in the library?

    How to get my images always order by arquive name, and not by time of captur, in all the folders in the library?
    Sorry for the poor english, but im portugues.
    In the library we can change the order of classification of image by, time of capture, name of file etc... I'm wondering if its possible define to be always by the name of file.
    It ´s possible?
    And i have other question, in print label we have an option to auto rotate to feet in page to have the image using the maximum area in the page (auto rotate, zoom etc), its possible to change the orientation of the rotation to be always in  the other direction?

    The Muvos are USB Mass Storage devices and do not have the ability to display track information based upon ID3 tags.
    The Zens all read and display track info based upon ID3 tag information that is either gathered from an online source or entered by the end-user.
    If you want the track information displayed instead of the ID3 tag information, you could edit the ID3 tags and rename the title to whatever you have as the file name. Not sure why your file names would differ so much from the ID3 tag info though, almost all of my content has the same name for the filename as it does on the ID3 tag title.
