How to locate quicktime screen cap temporary save files?

I've been using Quicktime's Screencap option, and saving the finished products to an external hard drive, but when i began to record another screen cap, the video stopped at 13 minutes and claimed there was not enough storage left on my macbook. Firstly i was confused because I had only been saving the videos to my external hard drive, and secondly because I had run out of space. After checking the storage space left on my macbook pro, there was now about half of the space taken up by "Other", i could only assume that Quicktime had been making quicksaves while recording. If that is the case then I would need help finding the quicksave files.

In safari, go to the top menu and select view, then show downloads.  The window that pops up has a magnifying glass by eacy download to show it's location.

  • What is quicktime screen recording default save location?

    I made a screen recording in Quicktime (OS X 10.8), and now I can't figure out where it saved the file.  Yes I know (now) that I could have changed the save location/name in the options before recording, but I didn't.  I just recorded.  Now I'm unable to locate where the actual file is.
    The File menu doesn't have any Save options, so I can't save it again.  I have duplicated it, but now I just have a copy that I likewise do not know the location of.
    Finder->All My Files doesn't show it.
    Quicktime Help Center tells me how to record, and that I can change the save location in options, but it doesn't say where the default save location is.

    Nice!  I found my own answer.  There's much I think and feel about this issue that I'm keeping to myself, but you can draw your own conclusions about usability.
    Despite there being no Save, Save As..., etc. options in the File menu for Quicktime (with this recently recorded movie as the active window), the file was not yet saved. 
    To save the file, one must attempt to close the recorded movie window.  Then a file save dialog appears.  *boggle*

  • How can we change the default folder location (avoiding problems with Temporary Internet Files)

    (Environment in question: Windows 7 secure desktop (running as user not admin), Office 2010)
    Hello,
      As has been touched on in various forums (such as here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/797451), when one opens a PDF attachment in Outlook, Acrobat and Reader store the file in the "Temporary Internet Files" folder (f/k/a OLK folder in previous versions of Outlook.  There are two major problems with this:
      First, as Microsoft has documented in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/817878, attachments end up here staying here under certain conditions (go checks your now, you'll find some!), which ends up being a file attachment no man's land, and that can present security risks (e.g. if data we thought was deleted still lives in that folder).
      Secondly, the first time you open an attachment in Acrobat and do a Save As, Acrobat is defaulting to the Temporary Internet Files location.  This folder (as noted in the thread linked above) is ridiculously hard to get to for the average user, so they can end up storing a file and then losing it.
      We've found that if we open Acrobat once, do a save as, and change to the users Documents folder, the change sticks.  But how can we have Acrobat default to Documents instead of that temporary location? 
      Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Have you check to see if Acrobat sets a registry entry or file preference for the first Save As?  That's where I would start looking.  Process Monitor is a good tool for this.

  • How do you you create, write, and save files?

    I created a VI to read 8 channels and display the waveform, which it does. But whenever I try to set up a way to save the data it never works. I want it to give me the option to create a new file, then write the data to there, and save it, and then close the file. How should I go about this?

    I have not opened your attachment, yet.
    Before doing so, you will need to decide if you want to write to:
    a) a measurement file
    b) a regular text file, or
    c) MS Excel Spreadsheet
    The method to write to the above are quite different.  Please decide and let us know..

  • How do I get to download and save files again?

    When I try to download or save a file, a file with any format, nothing happens. Only way of getting the file saved is to open it in its designated programme and save it from there. Certain file types can not be saved since they have no programme to open in (like .ies file, for example).
    Changing the file behaviours will not help, it still behaves the same way, i.e. it won´t let me save straight from the browser.

    You really need to provide more information if you expect anybody to help you.

  • How do I create an action that saves files as JPG in the same folder?

    Hey folks!
    So I'm sitting at work, trying to optimize my workflow a bit..
    What I'd like, is a droplet, that will allow me to open PSD's and save them as JPG in a new folder inside the original folder.
    Like the Image Processor that makes a new folder named 'JPG' but without opening the dialog box and having to press buttons.. Drag-drop-done

    Use scriptListener to create the code for adjusting the hue.  find the line in the code that denotes the change in hue replace that value with a variable that stores a random number:
    var rangeForRandomNumber = 200
    var offsetForRandomNumber = -100
    var randomNumber = Math.random() * rangeForRandomNumber + offsetForRandomNumber

  • How to get QuickTime Plugin to play .mid files?

  • Screen-caps - A Photoshop Workflow

    Users often ask how to do screen-caps, to show what is happening with their program. Below are possible workflows for creating the screen-caps, and then there are instructions on how to "attach" the screen-caps to a Reply in the Adobe Forums, but only if one is accessing them via a Web browser - with e-mail access, you cannot attach a screen-cap, or other image file. There are first several utilities that will help you do this, but I will outline the steps using Adobe Photoshop and the Windows Clipboard. One can substitute their image editing program of choice, such as Photoshop Elements, PaintShop Pro, or other.
    Windows has a Clipboard feature, and one can use the Print Screen key (often seen as Prt Sc, etc., and depending on their computer, might have to also use a modifier key, such as the Ctrl key).
    First, set up your program, so that the necessary items are shown. This might be zooming in on the Timeline, even expanding it vertically, moving the CTI (Current Time Indicator with the red Edit Line attached), and perhaps selecting a problem Clip. Often, the Program Monitor will also need to be seen, and perhaps the Project Panel showing the proper Asset, or maybe the Effects Control Panel. Get these setup, so that they are visible, and where you want them. Now, hit the Print Screen key (see above for comments). The screen will now be an image in Clipboard.
    Open your image editing program. Here, I’m using Photoshop. Create a New Image. Photoshop will first look in the Clipboard, and if there is an image there, will even set up your New Image to match that w/ the proper pixel x pixel size. Here, I name that New Image with a name that means something to me, like, “PrE_Audio_Mixer_01.” I use the underscore, in lieu of spaces, as the forum software sometimes has problems with file names containing spaces. Yes, I know that this is so Windows 98, but it works well for me.
    Hit Ctrl+V to Paste the image from the Clipboard into this New Image. If my full screen-cap has captured more image area, than I need, I Crop to the important parts.
    Next, if I need to do call outs, or annotate the image, I use the Text Too, and maybe will draw boxes, or circles, to make sure that the viewer knows exactly where I want them to look and what to look for. To draw arrows, or lines, I use the Shape Tool, and/or the Pen Tool, and Stroke, or Fill these Paths, as is necessary.
    At this point, I have a Layered file with drawings and text, overlaying my screen image. I will do a Save_As and choose .PSD to keep my Layers handy for any additional editing, if necessary. The one problem is that the Adobe forum will NOT attach a .PSD file. Here, one has several choices. One is to do a Save_for_Web, and let PS Flatten the Layers, and merge them into one Layer. That will also remove any Alpha Channels, and/or Paths. Two popular formats are .PNG, or JPEG, and Save_for_Web allows for either of these. The choice is yours, but I normally just use JPEG with a Quality of about 9, in Photoshop to compress the image, but still leave it sharp enough for others to read. Again, PNG is a good choice as well, and will yield slightly better quality for the file size. Only possible issue is that many older browsers (what the viewers will be using to view the screen-cap) do not handle PNG. All newer browsers do, and do so very well. I have begun using PNG, instead of any compression of JPEG, and the results are better, and sharper.
    With the screen-cap image Saved to our HDD, I use the little “camera” icon, in the lower-middle of the Adobe Forum editing screen’s Toolbar, to actually attach the image:
    Here is an example of a screen-cap with the program setup as I needed, call outs and annotations:
    Hope that this helps. Note: other image editing programs will differ, as will various screen-cap utilities.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

    Neale,
    Thanks for that. I had never used Alt+Prt Scr on my Sager, and did not know of the specifics of that modifier key. On my laptop, I need to do Ctrl+Prt Scr, rather than the more common Prt Scr (no modifier key), but that is fairly specific to my Sager on the Clevo MoBo, with its keyboard. On many computers, just plain Prt Scr is all that's needed.
    I'll experiment with Alt+Prt Scr, as that might actually save me a Crop in PS, when doing a screen-cap.
    Thanks,
    Hunt

  • Location/directory used by JRE, for saving the temporary Internet files

    Hello sir,
    I am working on a project( in JavaFX ) which takes the URL of a streaming FLV video( eg: http://sun.edgeboss.net/download/sun/media/1460825906/1460825906_11810873001_09c01923-00.flv ) as input and plays it in Media Player component.
    I have successfully played the streaming video, by taking the aid of sample project, Media Box( http://javafx.com/samples/MediaBox/ ).
    Now I am interested in knowing the location/directory, where these temporary Internet files will be downloaded to. Please let me know, the location/directory used by JRE( on both Windows and Linux ) for saving the temporary Internet files. Also let me know, if there is any possibility of changing that location/directory.
    Thanks for any help, in advance.

    You should avoid posting the same message multiple times...
    By definition, streaming is supposed to play the received movie data on the fly, without intermediary file. Now, it depends on implementation, if that's real streaming, etc., so in practice there might be a temp file, or not.
    But this temp location will be, obviously, highly dependent on the current system (even between WinXP and Win7, for example). You can find the answer experimentally, eg. on Windows by using Sysinternals' Process Monitor application (did that to find out where Storage files go), but it is brittle.
    I doubt there is (an official) way to know that from within the JavaFX application...

  • Save file just created in QuickTime, How???

    I create new file (AAC, audio) in QuickTime by paste some tracks into one QT-document. Then I need to save this new soundtrack. I do following:
    tell application "QuickTime Player"
    tell application "Finder"
    set the temp_folder to (make new folder at desktop with properties {name:"_JoinToAudiobookTempfolder_"}) as alias
    end tell
    set the new_file to ((temp_folder as text) & "temp_file")
    (* Some Code *)
    save movie 1 given «class dfil»:file new_file, «class savk»:self contained
    end tell
    But QT doesn't save file on folder "_JoinToAudiobookTempfolder_" on Desktop! It shows windows "Save File As" and wait that I specify location and file name! Why?

    I understand. So, I decided to change the order of
    processing :-)) At first I'll join mp3's in QT, and
    than convert created track into AAC using iTunes.
    You can do that, but if you can do everything with QT, then why bother with iTunes?
    Another question - i don't want quicktime to show
    "Welcome Movie". So, i need to disable this feature
    or temporary turn it off. I tried use this:
    tell application "QuickTime Player"
    set show welcome movie automatically to false
    end tell
    But this not works. So, ... how?
    show welcome movie automatically is a read-only property, so you can not set it.
    You can disable it in QT's Preferences --> Show Content Guide automatically
    PS. That too bad that applescript application's
    library doesnot contain live examples.....
    No you don't want that. Things will get bloated.

  • How to Modifying the Adobe Reader Default Save Location

    In Adobe Reader XI:  When I try to "Save As" a (.pdf) file [I was sent over the Internet] it automatically defaults to the Temporary Internet Files/Content.EI5/ (one of the many XYZABC folder).
    This means I have to press in many buttons and mouse moves to hunt for Libraries/Documents/My Document Files Location.
    I'd like to change that default folder to my own special folder (i.e.:  Libraries/Documents/My Documents.  How can I do this?
    As an alternate, is there an easy way to get to "My Documents" directory in one (1) click so I can pick the sub-directory I what to "Save As" the .pdf file?
    Thanks in advance to any answers I my get.

    Hi try76,
    Per your request: my OS is Windows 7 Pro,
    the computer is a Dell 457T (i7 x64 w/ 8 Gb memory),
    and The browser is Internet Explorer 11 (this may change to Foxfire).
    I hope I can do as you mentioned and "OS you can add a direct link to the Documents folder to the Places Bar on the left side of the Save dialog."
    Now I find the need for step-by-step instructions to do anything with computers - like a beginner.
    It seemed that Adobe Reader used to be able to "Save As" *.pdf files easier.
    As an aside:  I am an old guy, learned DOS and early Windows and was quite good at it and have forgotten much of it over the years.  Mostly because every time Microsoft has Upgraded their programs they take away parts I used and changed the menus so I can't find items I might want to use, as time went by I grew tired of re-learning how to use a program instead of being productive at work.  
    If your method of moving *.pdf files can be done with my OS and IE it will be greatly appreciative.
    Thanks in advance to any answers you give.

  • How do I record a quicktime screen recording directly to an external hard drive?

    I want to record a screen recording directly to an external hard drive (or flash drive/SD card) and I've heard that doing so will improve system performance by reducing the workload somehow. I'm not entirely sure.
    Is that true, will it work, and how do I do it?
    Help would be much appreciated!

    I think USB is much slower than your internal HDD connection and you might start losing frames. The system itself will do the same job... the only where performance may increase are the actions where you need to read/write from/to the disk i.e. open an app or save file.
