No video on Quicktime screen recordings

I've attempted to make several Quicktime screen recordings and I am not seeing any video. I see only a green screen with my mouse cursor moving around on it (as I moved it when recording). I have a screen recording app called Screenflick that is doing the same thing.

I have the same issue. At first I was very much excited about this feature! But after several successful screenshots I again ended up with green screen instead of real (cropped) screenshot clip.. (MacBook Pro Retina, Mac OS 10.8.4).

Capturing Screen Video with Quicktime Screen Recording

I've just found that Quicktime can record everything on the screen. This is very useful as I want to produce some training videos that are based on web-browsing. The problem is that I want to be able to zoom in on parts of the screen and I saw elsewhere a trick that invloved using Universal Access to Zoom in with either the mouse wheel or Keyboard. The problem is that these zooms don't appear to be recorded in Quicktime. Is that correct, or am I missing something?
many thanks

captfred--
Can you help with this from an Oct 2010 post? I'm having the same trouble in OS 10.6.8--random dropouts in QT Screen Recordings using QT Player 10.0 (131). The original poster said the problem only happens when recording sound, but I need sound. If you can help, please email me at blockard @@ iname . com. Thanks!
"Sometimes it records fine and I end up with a full recording, sometimes the middle is gone, sometimes just the end. The file size doesn't seem to matter; I have some good recordings that are nearly 500MB, and some that failed when they are only 30MB (and I have well over 300GB free)."

What is the best way to import photo booth and QuickTime screen recordings ino iMovie? My iMovie keeps crashing?

Hi
I am creating a video where I am importing a screen recording via QuickTime and an intro from photo booth. Unfortunately, my movie imports and continuously crashes! Is there a specific way I should be doing this?
What methods do people successfully employ?
Thanks!
Mohammad

Thanks. I think I was just doing it wrong, because it doesn't crash anymore, lol.
Importing from Photo Booth requires saving to desktop, rather than sharing via media browser. A bit manual, but seems to work!
Thanks again!

How long do screen recordings last on quicktime

how long do quicktime screen recordings last?

I don't know. I guess when you run out of room to store the file.
What is your goal?

I made screen recordings through quicktime on mac and 6 of my 13 video did not turn into .mov files. How do I get them onto iMovie?

i need to put my put my quick time videos (screen recordings) onto iMovie and for some reason its not letting me. they are not even .mov files. whta do i do? i need it for tomorrow!

Yes, exactly (in fact I had that page on the Help Viewer open while I did it just in case I had skipped a step). Plus some other ways (like converting the clips to other formats, etc)
But I have made the video by using QuickTime Pro, by stitching the clips together. It isn't anything like I want but I can move on now and contemplate other ways to make this work (unless you or somebody else comes up with something!).
Thank you again.

QuickTime 10.1 Screen Recordings are Blurry Once Imported into Premiere Pro CS6

I am doing some screen recordings on my Mac using QuickTime 10.1, but when I try to import them into Premiere Pro CS6, they are poor quality and blurry. It's difficult to read text and logos on the recordings are showing up fuzzy. Anything I can do to improve the quality with what I have? I'm trying to do a new site demo, so I'd like to have things appear more clearly. I am, however, by no means a video expert or Premiere Pro expert, so a lot of the output names and labels, I'm not familiar with. Is that what I'm doing wrong?

The NEW ITEM process will ensure that your editing sequence matches your video file

I think that everyone should know that Quicktime 10 cannot make stereo screen recordings. Quicktime 7 cannot make screen recordings at all.

I did a bunch of research on this topic and hope to save someone else the headache.
I was trying to use QT 10 to make some video tutorials on Mixing (audio) which will rely on high-quatlity audio capture along with the screen recording. While using QT10 the recorded stereo audio was being collapsed to mono, which not only changed the stereo soundstage, but also made the levels a bit excessive. I figured that this must be a communication issue between my firewire audio interface and QT10. I called Apple support to see if someone there may have encountered such an issue and if they had a solution.
After the support technician did some research he told me that QT10 only does mono screen recordings, regardless of the input sources selected. After a bit more research the technician told me to buy Quicktime Pro 7 and I should have no problem with that. I asked him directly "so it records stereo sources?"
He said it did.
Today I purchased Quicktime Pro 7.7.1. It doesn't make screen recordings at all. I guess stereo screen recordings are not a feature either (that's called sarcasm).Needless to say I was frustrated.
I guess the only solutions for this exist outside of Apple.
They were courteous and I felt that they wanted to solve my issue but I was given the wrong information and I wanted to pass that on the community.

What I dislike after a week is makepkg not handling dependencies automatically (which would be overhead, so probably not appropriate).

Quicktime Screen Recording freezing in fullscreen recordings

Hi
I was trying to record in fullscreen of an application, namely a game, using Quicktime.
The screen recording works fine when recording windows, but as soon as I open one in fullscreen, my mac freezes. Just a black screen, and none of the keys work, so I have to resort to rebooting.
Is there a solution to this?
Thank you in advance.

That causes 'muddy' pics:
FCPX is basically meant for video = standards, e.g. 1080 or 720 ...
Screen-recordings, in 99% cases, are 'off'' those standard resolutions => 'un-even' scaling neccessary = loss of quality.
(plus, the harm added, to playback those files again in some 'uneven' scaling...)
best-practice:
Use designated tools, as the widly recommended Screenfflow ...
Plan B)
… for the small budget:
learn how to create FCPX with custom resolutions ...

Higher quality recordings with quicktime screen recording?

Hello all, first post here.
I was just wondering if it is possible to achieve higher quality recordings with quicktime player?
Because right now the recordings seem bad quality. I am a game developer and I am planing to use quick time to take videos of various special FX demos...
So here is the best video I could get with quicktime... Note this is not a very good video I was just testing.

Thanks for all your help!

I have the same question, and have looked at the answers here. I am not trying to answer your question, just add to it.
I have used snapz pro x and find that I like that way quicktime displays whats on your screen with the same amount of lag that will be in the finished video, while snapz does not. surely there is a way, deep in preferences or maybe even in terminal, that will enable me to take higher quality images in my screen recordings. I find the audio is fine but the image is what I have a problem with. I dont have the 100+ dollars to spend on other screen recording software, and would really appreciate some help.
thanks,

QuickTime 10.1 Screen Recordings Blurry Once Imported into Premiere Pro CS6

I am doing screen recordings with QuickTime 10.1 that appear to be of good quality until I import into Premiere Pro CS6 and then they display and export very poorly and very blurry to the point that you can't read the text on the page. Any suggestions to fix this problem?

Hi Kristine,
Make sure that the clips are positioned on the X,Y axis as whole integers, not integers + decimal points. See if that works for you.
Thanks,

Quicktime Pro X - Screen Recordings denied by FCP

Can anyone confirm that Apple has blocked the use of "screen recordings" made using QuickTime Player 10.0 in FCP 7.0? I've tried importing screen recordings using both the Medium Quality Setting (Codec: Photo - JPEG) and the High Quality setting (Codec: H.264) and have received the same message each time:
File Error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown.

Thanks Fraky. I think you're right. Here's what I found:
Just to see what happened, I went to the file "Get Info" panel and changed the default "Open with" program to FCP. When I then tried opening the file it gave me the message:
"Unsupported Frame Rate.
Final Cut Pro does not support this frame rate or the way it is represented."
I took your advice and tried bringing the file into Compressor(3.5). Compressor recognized the file and allowed me to encode it to a different codec. I tried a number of different codecs, and they all imported into FCP just fine.
Does anyone know what the default frame rate of the "Screen Recorded" movies are that can be made with QuickTime Player 10.0? I find it a little odd that FCP wouldn't recognize the frame rate. Whatever the default frame rate of those "scrren recodings" are, it must be something unconventional as I know that FCP recognizes a wide range of frame rates.

QuickTime: Screen Recording with audio from Flash video?

I saw a short flash video on a website that I wanted to save. SO I tried using the new QuickTime's Screen Recording feature, but no matter what options I use (Line input or Internal microphone), I get no audio.
Is this because Flash won't allow it, or am I doing something wrong?

just figured this out myself today. you're on right track.
open system pref and go to SOUND - got to OUTPUT tab and choose soundflower (2ch) as your OUTPUT
open safari and open a new window - drag SWF file into that. it should play in the browser window. hit pause on the video.
open quicktime. go to NEW SCREEN RECORDING, and use the arrow to the right to open options. Choose sound INPUT as soundflower (2ch). do not raise the volume in the record window - keep it at lowest possible else you'll get an echo.
you are ready to roll.
so the browser will be outputting sound to soundflower, whilst the quicktime screenrecord gets input from soundflower. works like a charm. sounds great.
good luck.

Cant Capture Screen Recordings with QuickTime Player for making App Previews

cant Capture Screen Recordings with QuickTime Player for making App Previews
went into that page:
https://developer.apple.com/app-store/app-previews/imovie/Creating-App-Previews- with-iMovie.pdf
upgraded to quick time 7 pro
got stuck here:
" 4. In the window that appears, select your iOS device as the Camera and Microphone input source".
the window appeared, no selection is possible

The instructions in the Developer page you link contemplates that you are using the QTX version instead of QT7 Pro:
vs.
QT7 Pro does not allow selection of iOS devices as the Camera and Microphone  input source.
QTX is the QT version included with Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard and later. However, as explained in the Developer page you linked above, if your Mac is not already using it, you need to upgrade to the current (OS X 10.10 Yosemite) OS X Version to use iOS devices as the recording sources in QTX.

Error Message When Importing Quicktime Screen Capture to FCE

As I said in the subject I'm having issues importing a Quicktime Screen Capture into Final Cut Express. I keep getting this message.
File Error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown
I figure it has to be a quick fix for this simple problem. And it's probably just my first time.
Thanking you in advance

QuickTime Screen Recordings are H.264 video files. You need to convert this to +QuickTime Apple Intermediate Codec+ in order to use it in FCE. MPEG Streamclip (free) can do this for you.

Importing high quality screen recordings into final cut

Please can someone here help me. Nobody in the Apple stores in London, great as they normally are, was able to help me.
I am trying to make a high resolution / quality video of screen recordings of a website for promotional purposes. I am able to make screen recordings using Quicktime7 and Screen Flow and assumed I could just import them into FCE, edit where necessary and then export into Quick time but here the problems start
1. Final Cut Express does not allow you to import screen recordings from Quicktime7. I was told the answer to this was to convert them into Mpeg 4 files using a free software called Streamclip. Fine. This works but by the time the files are in FCE, the quality is poor. By the time I have exported the video into quicktime so it can be viewed the quality is even lower. Result: Very low quality recordings
2. Using screenflow I can import the files directly into FCE but again the quality is reduced by the time they get there and again by the time they are exported into quicktime. Result" Low quality recordings.
I have looked at using 100% quality every where where this option is available but to no avail.
Finally an apple expert said the only option I had was to import the screen recording direct from the computer to my video camera via the video in port but that I needed to buy two connectors, namely video into dvi and then dvi into mini display port. Sounds laborious. Is this my only option? Do I need to upgrade to FC Pro (out of the question due to budget)?
I'm under time pressure. Any help very much appreciated!
Thanks
Chris

1. Whoever told you to convert to MPEG-4 is completely wrong and should not be working in an Apple store. FE only works in QuickTime using the Apple Intermediate Codec for HD material. It only works in specific screen resolutions used in video formats. 1920x1080, 1440x1080, 1280x720, and DV for standard definition.
2. Full resolution media from ScreenFlow can only be edited in Final Cut Pro.
You can record directly to a a camera but you need a high quality scan converter. Just doing it off a computer screen will produce rubbish video.
