PC VIdeo Screen Capture for Editing in FCP?

Hello,
I was asked to video screen capture a program on a pc laptop for a tutorial, and to mix it in with my footage that was shot 1440-1080, 30f with my Canon XHA1. Does anyone know the best program I can use to video screen capture the pc, that is professional, and not expensive? Or any methods of preparing it for FCP?
Any help would be great!
Thanks

PC Video screen capture for AE importing?

Does anybody know of a good screen capturing utility for the PC that I can import the files of into AE?
Currently Im using Camstudio but the results Im getting are very poor and when I import them into AE it doesnt handle them very well at all (very choppy play back - very choppy indeed)
I use Snapz at home on my mac which works perfectly - but I dont know of anything as good for the PC :(
any help would be much appreciated - many thanks!
Nick

ok- ive got the demo of camtasia - its good, but I think perhaps im asking too much of it. Im trying to capture quite large flash websites, but it always ends up quite jerky :(
One of the sites Im trying to grab is www.playhousedisney.co.uk but im not having much luck :(
Does anybody know of any hardware accelerated way of grabbing websites like this without any frame loss or jerkiness?
thanks again for all your help!

Transfering Video 8 tape for editing in FCP

I'd like to bring some Video 8 tapes from a camcorder without a firewire port, into FCP to edit them. What should I have the footage converted into .... miniDV tape, Quicktime, DVD ??? Which will give the best results to work with?
Thanks a lot
monica

I now know NOT to have them converted to QuickTime (which is what someone suggested but I doubted that was the way to go).< </div>
That will work just fine. IN order for that to happen, someone has to capture them onto a Mac and then give you a disk fo the files. Nothing wrong with that at all.
What you need to consider:
a. Do you want a backup copy?
b. What will you play them on that you can hook up to your Macintosh?
c. What will you print them out to for release?

VIDEO Screen CAPTURE + Snapzpro

I use snapzpro to video screen capture for demos that I produce. Recently a colleague sent me one captures with Camtasia software and the quality was fantastic compared with snapzpro. I've set the snapzpro options to the highest quality but it just does not match what he sent me.
Is there something I'm not doing right
ANy help appreciated
Thanks
Alan

No. FCE is a fixed resolution editing application. It only works with DV and HDV formats at specific sizes, frame rates and codecs. You either need to convert your material to one of these formats, or use a resolution independent application like Final Cut Pro.

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

Video screen capture capability for ios5??

I remember in the pre-release video for ios5 that there was a video screen capture capability..
Question 1 is: where is it?
Question 2: is it available for the iphone 4 with ios5?

Did you figure out how to capture video yet?

Video Screen Capture Software and FCP

I am shooting a video and need to incorporate some video screen capture software. There will be an audio overlay, so I do not need to record audio simultaneously while recording. I will be encoding with H.264.
What should I use?
Thank You!

iShowU and ScreenFlow are too very popular capture utilities.
I prefer the latter.

How do I paste a screen capture? Edit-paste or command-V do not work.

How do I paste a screen capture? Edit-paste or command-V do not work. Tom

how did you take the screenshot?
if you used a key combo like command+shift+ a number it will be saved as a file on your desktop
you need to add control* to whatever key combination you pressed to put it on your clipboard
*sorry for saying shift before i meant control

How can I easily video screen capture my interactions on an ipad2 so I can play back to demo content I have created?

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.
Cheers

Download and import YouTube videos to iMovie for editing

Download and import YouTube videos to iMovie for editing
YouTube always provides people with raw video materials on all sorts of things happened worldwide in real time. Video lovers are fond of downloading these files as private collection, even using video editors like iMovie to do further editing of their favorite ones, so as to import them to portable devices like iPod, iPhone, PSP, Blackberry, etc. for playback, or upload to their own websites to share with others, or do something else as they like.
However, not all the people have found a proper way to download YouTube videos, not to mention how to add these files to iMovie for editing. YouTube videos are in the format of FLV, which is not a workable format in iMovie, so if you want to import YouTube videos to it without trouble, you should convert FLV files to iMovie compatible formats such as MPEG-4 and MOV in advance. With the special intention of solving these two problems, this guide will show you how to download YouTube videos and import them to iMovie for editing step by step. If you are in need, just feel free to go along with it.
Step 1: Download, install and run Pavtube YouTube Converter for Mac
This converter can process downloading and conversion simultaneously. Once you launch it, the interface below well pop up.
Step 2: Add URL, select output format and set save path
Press tag “Add URL” in the above interface, and then the following window will appear. Just copy and paste the URL of the YouTube video file which you want to download and convert to the text box after “URL”. Then select a supportable format for iMovie by clicking the drop-down list of “Convert To”. Here I choose MOV for example.
Afterwards, you can insert the storage file name in the text box of “Save As”, if not, the program will generate one automatically. Here I save my file as “mycollection”. Meanwhile, you are allowed to hit “Browse” in the opposite side of “Save To” to specify the destination folder. By the way, if you want to save the original FLV files, you are allowed to tick the checkbox “Save FLV File” to achieve this goal.
Step 3: Custom
This program enables you to adjust video and audio parameters like codec, bit rate, aspect ratio, frame rate, sample rate, and channels, so that you can change them randomly according to your own demands. Generally speaking, the options which refer to values are always in condition of the larger values, the larger file size, but better quality. Do remember click “OK” to save your custom settings.
Step 4: Download and convert
Once all the settings are done, you can click “OK” button to start. The following window will show you the progress of downloading and conversion.
Step 5: Import the output MOV files to iMovie
As soon as the YouTube video files have been downloaded and converted to MOV or other iMovie workable format, you can click “Open” at lower right corner of the above interface to find out the output files. Afterwards, launch iMovie, and click File > Import to add the output files to iMovie for editing.
Tips:
1. This program supports batch tasks so that you can download multiple YouTube video files in batches at a time.
2. Pavtube YouTube Converter for Mac adopts multi-threading technology, which makes its download speed is faster than any other similar YouTube downloader.
3. Besides YouTube.com, it can also automatically detect and download online videos in the format of .flv, and f4v from many other video-sharing websites, like Yahoo Video, Myspace, Google Video, Fox and more.
4. It also provides users with conversion function, with which you can convert any YouTube FLV/F4V files to other formats like MP4, MKA, WAV, AC3, MKV, FLV, MP3, M4A, 3GP, AVI, MOV, MPG, etc. at will.
5. If you only use it as a YouTube downloader without format conversion, you can take it as a piece of freeware.
All right, this guide is ending up now; hope it will do you a favor while downloading video files from YouTube as well as importing them to iMovie for further editing.

It's a clip from CNN (with all credits etc. added). When one refers to it as a clip posted on "YouTube", then people understand the quality will be poor.
I've watched television go from everything shot on a tripod with clean, meticulous editing rules, to almost anything goes. It has to do with cultural reference.

What is best screen capture for video to be edited in FCP?

Hello:
I need to add some video from a client's website to include in a video being edited in ye olde FCP 7.
The rest of the video is ProRes 422.
Is there a screen capture software package that can capture in a compatible format and be high resolution enough?
I have looked at ScreenFlow and Camtasia for Mac but they don't have much info on their sites about video specs.
Client wants to capture a webcast and show the video in context of the website it plays on.
I could just shoot the screen with my HD camera but I'm hoping there is something better out there.
Oh - and yes... I have thought of cheating it.... superimposing the original video into a screen grab of the website but the client doesn't have the original video.
Thanks for any info.

I've been using Camtasia recently and there's a 30 day trial

And you can record the entire screen or choose just a smaller area. Great for capturing video on a website

Screen capture for posting video to website

I used iShowU for taking screen capture videos then edited with iMovie and posted them to our website. I am wondering if there is a better application out there for Mac users? Any information as well as posting it to the site is helpful! How to keep the file size down while quality high.
Thanks

What is the question? It's unclear what you are asking.
Is it ...
Is there a better app for screen capture?
or
How do I reduce the size of the edited files for web use?

Screen Cast or Video Screen Capture

Hello everyone,
I am seeing a solution to an issue invilving screen casting. I am playing World of Warcraft and am trying to capture certain events as video's. I have attempted using programs such as iShowU and Snapz but the results are far from acceptable. They simply make the game look as if I were to take screen captures over and over with a one or two second delay inbetween them. Not to mention these programs take a battle axe to my graphic cards performance. The card isn't a bad card either, a Radeon x800. I was wondering what is the best way to go about capturing video of my game. I had a little idea of doing some sort of pass-through through my mini-dv camera to capture raw video from my graphic cards output... but doing this is easier said than done... actually I don't even know how to go about doing this. Can someone lend me a hand? I want some kind of video captures with a bit of ability to edit it and capturing around 20fps... even if the game is running under that at times. My machine make is as follows:
G5 2.5 PPC DP
4 GB of RAM
250 GB x 2 HD
Radeon x800
Thank you for your time everyone. Hope to hear some kind of good news soon . Thanks.
-Andrew

Since the game is using all the CPU and graphics board power it can get, any software recording will slow the game. The only way to get full speed recording is with an external VCR or DVD recorder. To get suitable video you can use a DVI to video adapter
<http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/6884001/wo/LP5a dys1a8md2bwmixK21w5cbZA/1.0.21.1.0.8.25.7.11.2.3>
with one of the DVI ports on the X800 board. Look in the manual to see which port supports it, or just try both.
Get the ATI Displays software from
<http://www.ati.com> to get more control over the video output. It should let you mirror the display to the video with them having different resolutions.
You could also use a VGA to video converter, such as:
