Is there a way to "record" my screen saver?

I've got the screen saver that looks like a real fish aqaurium and it works fantastic but I'm wondering if it would be possible to record it and play it on my TV. I guess what I'd really like is a way to record what's happening on my desktop or something. I'm also trying to figure out a way to record some Photoshop stuff to teach to co-workers, as opposed to actually writing out all the steps. Any ideas?

Well of course you don't, because you didn't include a link! Here you go:

I too am a happy user. One thing to think about is the resolution. If it's just for TV then you only need 640x480, so set your capture area to that, and also your desktop to as close to that as you can, that way you get a good frame rate.
I just did a test, to see that it will work. One trick is to use a hot corner to trigger the screen saver, that's better than recording nothing for a minute while the screen saver kicks in. Here's my test, recorded on my iMac G5:

  • Is there a way to get the screen saver on user "a" to use iphoto pictures from user "b"?

    Is there a way to have the iphoto screen saver use the photos from a different iphoto user?  My husband leaves his account open and he has only old photos when the screen saver kicks in.   I would like to have my photos be able to pop up on his screen saver.  I need to find them in the system preferences screen saver place, but have it access my iphotos and not only his.  How?  Also, I would like a better system on organizing my photos.. I have them all in events by year and it is difficult of often find favorite specfic photos.  Thank you. Melody

    In short, no. The whole point of different accounts is to keep your data separate from his, and your photos are your data.
    You could share a library? It can be a bit complex.
    You can use Fast-User switching to switch over to your account - takes a couple of seconds
    As to organising your Photos - iPhoto is a database and offers pretty much unlimited options for organising your pics, but it takes a bit of work to go beyond the basic and automatic.
    If you take the time to assign Places then you cn see all the photos in your Library based on where they were taken. (Of course, that's of limited use if they're all taken in your backyard ) Faces means you can sort the Library based on who's in the Photos.
    Beyond that, simple thigns like naming the Events will help - Xmas 11, Bobby's Wedding, Rome 2009 and so on. You can then search on those basic words in the search box.
    After that: Keywording. The following is a canned answer I use to describe my system. It may spark some ideas for you.
    I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums extensively. I title the pics broadly.
    I keyword on a
    Who
    What
    Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
    Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 40k library in a couple of seconds.
    So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a  typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
    File -> New Smart Album
    set it to 'All"
    title contains Seattle
    keyword is mountain
    keyword is snow
    rating is 5 stars
    Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
    New Smart Album
    Keyword is John
    Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
    Want only the best pics?
    add Rating is greater than 4 stars
    The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John  to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
    In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me.

  • Is there any way to record a screen share session?

    I know you can record audio and video chats that you yourself initiate. However, I have clients that invite me to screen share, and upon acceptance, I have no control over recording. Is there an app?

  • Is there a way to record my iPhone 4s screen without Jailbreaking?

    I've already tried using RecordMyScreen but whenever I open it it just turns black and won't work. I also cannot change my year to 2012. Reflector isn't an option either, because I want to find a free method. Does anyone know any ways to record my screen without using those two? I haven't been able to find any other solutions. If you have one, I'd be really grateful if you let me know! :)

    There are no apps that can record your screen like you want. Using Reflector or a similar app is the only option available.

  • Is there a way to RECORD the mouse as a pointer when recording?

    Is there a way to RECORD the mouse as a pointer when recording a voiceover on a slideshow?  I want to use the mouse as a pointer (I know how to do that live), but the recorded show does not show my motions as I voiced.

    Oh, I see. I don't have Keynote, I've only recorded my screen for other things, so I don't know about that. Maybe someone else can help.

  • Is there a way to record sounds from keyboard as they are?

    So I have a musical keyboard that I've attached to my macbook to record in Garageband. I have a ton of sounds on my keyboard from percussion, brass, piano, etc.
    When I record, for example, a trumpet sound from my keyboard into Garageband, Garageband just records the notes using its one version of trumpet or piano or whatever.
    How do I get GarageBand to just record the sound as is?
    I tried the "real instrument" track option but that ends up record all sound from the microphone on the MacBook and not recording the sound through the MIDI connection.

  • Is there a way to access the screen (headless operation) of a machine being used as a Mac OS X (ML) Server?

    I'm using ML OS X Server and so far have enabled only FIle Sharing. Is there a way to share a screen with the Mac Mini (server host) while in Server operation? What section(s) need to be enabled to do this? I can access the Server remotely using the Server app, but as yet have not configured the web app to manage the server. Even if I do, this will not allow me to run an app as I could while at the server machine's screen, keyboard and mouse. My goal to operate this machine almost full time headlessly.
    Thanks!!

    You can use screen sharing even if the Mac is headless; it's been that way for awhile now. You probably have to go back to the G3s to find Macs couldn't run headless or that you'd have to trick. I used my old G4 MDD headless this weekend; I used screen sharing and remote desktop from a 2011 Mini and 2011 MBP. I sometimes to do it with my mini Server, when I use the 23" LCD with my MBP, leaving the Server headless.
    Hmm... I noticed this as a problem when I had the Mini's combo video (VGA) output adapter plugged in to its VGA screen.
    When the monitor power was lost (due to it's plug being on an unprotected plug and the power being out) AND while display still connected without a working power source, lost the remote display, too. In that case, the Screen Sharing wouldn't work from a remote computer on the local network. Did not try unplugging the connection completely (suppose that rebooting might be necessary to see the headless mode?). Mention it here because you might also want to be aware of that situation for the future...
    Moving the plug-in to protected power for the monitor (even if off) did cure the problem and easier for me too. Checked with screen share (vnc:// connection seems to behave the same). We're probably doing the same thing, or pretty close to it. Seems I just have to completely detach the screen connection to effectively use the "headless' mode, which I didn't do. Note the specs of my Mini as below to compare with yours (it's not a new version 'server' model).

  • Is there a way to keep the screen from lighting up every time an email comes in, but still be able to see the email on the lock screen when you press the home button?

    Is there a way to keep the screen from lighting up everytime an email comes in, but still be able to see the email on the lock screen when you press the home button?  This is killing my battery, but also is kinda the whole point of the notification center in my mind.

    This is something I've been wondering. I am a bit like you, I like being able to have a glance at emails or Facebook updates without having to log in, and I think it would be great to be able to turn off the notification switching the screen on, especially for emails as I do get a lot, and Facebook, but I somehow doubt it is possible.
    I am currently monitoring how much this eats up my battery charge. On a normal day, after an overnight charge, I would probably still have 30%-40% left when I leave work in the evening. Today, I was down to 48% by lunchtime, where I've usually got a good 60-70% left... Might have to turn email notifications off on lock screen until it's possible to have them appearing in the list without flashing me...

  • Is there a way to record just the arpeggios and not the notes being played?

    I am recording the Arpeggios from my Motif rack ES into Logic Pro 7.2 in midi format but when I try to do this, the notes that I play on the keyboard also get recorded along with the arpeggios? Is there a way to record just what's coming out of the midi out (of motif rack es) and not the keys that you are pressing to kick off the arpeggio?

    Either check your Motif's owners manual to see if you can disable the keys or make sure the keys are out of the arpeggio's range and use a transform object in the environment to filter out the unwanted notes.

  • Is there any way to record a whole call that is st...

    My Skype recorder glitched and I lost the recording. The call is still going; is there a way to record the call from the beginning? Thanks.

    Recording off Skype is like recording off the radio (if that's even done anymore), it's not like a DVR.  The best you can do is continue to record the current audio.  If you can resurrect whatever portion you saved earlier you may be able to splice the audio together.  If  your recorder didn't record it, then there isn't  anything to retrieve since Skype doesn't record your calls.

    Start by looking around the examples that ship with LabVIEW (if you are
    using LabVIEW).
    Also look around zone.ni.com for general data acquisition information &
    examples. A good site.

  • Is there a way to record a person's voice to use as a ringtone on my iphone?

    Is there a way to record a person's voice to use as a ringtone on my i phone?

    Hi!
    Yes, you can. I did it awhile ago by recording a voice memo and synching that memo to my computer. I then pulled up the memo in GarageBand, and used the ringtone template there to create the ringtone and share it back to iTunes, and re-synch to the iPhone. Once it's back on the iPhone, go to settings to assign it as a ringtone for a person, or as an alarm, alert, or whatever. Anyway, that's how I did it. There may be an app out there by now that would make the process simpler. Hope this helps!

  • Is there other way to make Splash-Screen more Richer ?

    Is there other way to make Splash-Screen more Richer ?
    I want to design the the Splash-Screen like use a page(can use XAML layout)? I'll do more things? how can i do it?
    Not use like as following:
    <VisualElements DisplayName="consumewebapi" Logo="Assets\Logo.png" SmallLogo="Assets\SmallLogo.png" Description="consumewebapi" ForegroundText="light" BackgroundColor="#464646">
    <DefaultTile ShowName="allLogos" />
    <SplashScreen Image="Assets\SplashScreen.png" />
    </VisualElements>

    The splash screen shows before your app's code runs so there isn't any opportunity for the app code to modify or enhance it.
    Once the app has loaded and started running it can show an extended splash screen which it can modify and enhance however you'd like. See How to extend the
    splash screen (XAML)

  • Is there a way to Quickly organize, consolidate & save the Original (Pictures, Movies, etc.) yet delete all duplicate (Pictures, Movies, etc.)?

    Is there a way to Quickly organize, consolidate & save the Original (Pictures, Movies, etc.) yet delete all duplicate (Pictures, Movies, etc.)?

    I wanted to first thank you for this, as this is the only workaround literature that seems to be floating around out there.  With that said, I know it is a big ask, but is there any way that you could create a video showing step by step how to do what you do?  I have several tracks that are stuck in waiting mode, and if left in itunes, will never upload or match...they only cause the upload process to hang up and restart.  I've tried leaving it for days...I've tried converting the files, signing in and out of itunes (and itunes match), updating itunes match, and I tried your technique...unfortunately to no avail.  Perhaps I didn't do your technique correctly.  I used audacity to reverse the audio.
    ANY help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!
    Thanks
