How to (visually) crop a screen recording???

OK, QuickTime X is great at making a screen recording, and I now have a 1680x1050 .MOV. Great.
What I want is to crop it, so that the video depicts for example 600x600 pixels in one are of the screen. How do I crop the resulting screen recording to achieve this? Tools readily available include QuickTime 7 PRO, iMovie 06 and Final Cut Express 4. With FCE I achieved a 1680x1050 recording where the 600x600 video played inside a huge black border. No good.

What API/Component needed for export video to MP4 Format like this application?
How can make a similar application for education purpose with Java.
Thanks

but impossible in nothing bro, Yea, that's what Aleksey Vayner claimed and he didn't do so well.
I need to know about swing and start to work with java to develop this software and if I need some help I ask here.Clearly yes. You also need to make simple programs and practice for a long time before you're gonna be able to write a screen recorder with MP4 output.
I try to develop this before 3-4 years ;)I guess 3-4 years is a realistic goal, if you really concentrate on learning Java.

How? System audio when screen recording

Anyone know how to record system audio when screen recording in Lion? I've been trying to use the Quicktime Player record. I've trying to avoid spending gobs of money on a 3rd party app I'll only use rarely. Any help at all would be great.

Hi hurdlefaster,
Though the suggestion above is valid, you might not want to
use it ("Resize") as the answer because it can be tricky to use,
and because it
always results in a much larger file. I think a better way
to accomplish what you want is to create the background image you
want in your image editor, making sure it is sized as you want it,
then make that image the desktop image.
The image you create might have a vertical (height) of 500
pixels, and a horizontal (width) of 740 pixels. Of the horizontal
740 pixel size, you might use 180 pixels on the left for a TOC or
Index area, 20 pixels as a "border" area, and last, a "content"
area of 540 pixels on the far right.
Then place your recording red-rectangle around the whole
image on your desktop, with the application to be captured placed
in the 540 pixel "content" area.
This works ... I've used the concept for years ... and it
doesn't result in a bloated file, as the "Resize" operation most
certainly will. Hope this helps. I'll be happy to give you some
sample images if you contact me privately with a link to this
thread. My email address is catbandit (AT) pcabcs (DOT) com.
G'day!

How can I make my screen recording (Quicktime X) not blurry or distorted in Final Cut Pro X?

All my screen recording end up blurry (with unlegdeable font) when I put them into Final Cut Pro X. I am currently using Quicktime X but I also tried the Screenflow demo with the same effect. Any ideas?
Thanks.

What are the exact specs of the QT movie? The project probably doesn't match it as the QT player records in completely non-standard formats. You might try rendering it and using high quality playback in playback prefs.

How to join audio and screen recording

I have recorded with both the screen capture and audio capture and now want to join / merge the files into one. Does any one know how I can do this easily? What application would I need to use? CAn it be done with iMovies? Thanks

m2v files are usually used in DVD authoring. Is that what you are trying to create?
If so, you'll want a AC3 or aiff file format for the audio and use DVD Studio Pro to merge the two into VOB files.
If this isn't what you are trying to accomplish, please offer up more information.

I have quicktime pro and it does NOT have the screen record mode that Quicktime is suppose to have. Can I uninstall it and go back to an older version that would have screen recording? If so, how? Step by step needed. Thank you for your time.

Did you remove Quicktime X?
On a normal install Quicktime 7 is installed in the Utilities folder and Quicktime Pro in the main Applications folder.
You will need to reinstall OS X to get Quicktime X back if you have deleted it.
I notice yor profile says 10.5.8. Quicktime X is only available on 10.6 and above.

I was trying to make a new screen recording using quicktimeplay, but when I watched the video after recording it all I could hear was me talking while the video was showing on the screen. How do I turn off that recording and turn the right one on? thanks

Hi j2399123,
It sounds like your screen recording is doing what it was designed to do, capture what is happening on your screen, with optional voice over with the microphone.
Screen recording is for recording what you see on the screen, it is not a "video capture" option, like for capturing a movie with sound that is playing on your screen.
For the QuickTime recording options, check out "Recording with QuickTime Player" in
Mac Basics: QuickTime Player creates, plays, edits, and shares video and audio files
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4024
And for screen recording specifically, there's

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.

How do I change the settings in quick time player to screen record video using less hard drive space?

how do I change the settings in quick time player to use less hard drive space when performing a screen record? When I screen record a video lets say from vimeo, QTP seems to use a lot of hard drive space. Please help. Are there settings some where to adjust to slim down the video size? Thanks for your input.

I just did a short SR test, first I exported to 480p, then I saved the file. Now I have 2 files one 11.9mb (export) and the other 42.8mb (save). I then took the save file and performed an export on it to 480p. Guess what, it saved at 11.9mb. So it seemed to save me 3/4 of the space. Lets see what happens with a 17 minute SR. Thanks!
Any suggestions on getting the sound louder with the SR?
For anyone else ever seeing this post, for me the best was using an external speaker whether wired or bluetooth, facing the left side of the computer where the internal mic hole is. Good Luck!

How can I use QuickTime to make a screen recording that has both video and audio?

How do use QuickTime to make a screen recording that can be saved with both video and audio together?

do you know of any software that would record a QT movie playing on my Mac screen with both audio and video?
I have used Ambrosia's Snapz Pro X ($69) for years, but they are currently upgrading their Kext (Kernel Extension) software for changes inroduced by the Lion release so it might not be your best bet at this time. I also use ScreenFlow but it is a combination capture and editing utility which runs $99 and may include more features than you may need or will use. Have also tried Screenflick ($29) which, to some extent, appears to have a functionality somewhere between that of Snapz Pro X and ScreenFlow. It is a bit more complicated to set up but for the price might be the best bargin at this point. All three can capture the entire screen or a portion thereof, with or without mic/line and/or system audio. (Or at least they all will as soon as Ambrosia updates its Kext routine.)
Here is a URL link posted by QTKirk three days ago to an article that recaps of a number of currently available third-party screen capture apps from around the world several of which may interest you: http://mac.appstorm.net/roundups/utilities-roundups/10-screen-recording-tools-fo r-mac/

How do I set a fps rate in Quicktime's screen recording?

I've been trying to record my self playing League of Leagions on my mac with quicktime's screen recorder but my problem is that when I'm not screen recording I have 60 fps in the game, when I turn on the screen recorder and it drops to 15-20 fps. How can I fix this? I've already tried turning it down to medium instead of having it on high but that only brings me back to about 25 fps. It's also recording about 15-20 fps so even if I manage to play like this, the video still looks like crap.

I would swear that I used to be able to do this but in 10.3 I cannot. Of course I am trying to prepare for a big presentation right now so this means that either my memory created a fantasy or Apple downgraded QT!!

In Mail, how can I send a short clip of a screen recording?

Boy, I would think that should work.
Is the ZIP file too large per your ISP's file attachment rules? For example, my ISP has a 10MB limit on file attachments. I have to split into separate ZIP files anything that's at or over that limit.
