Pointing and recording audio simultaneously

Hi,
I create "lectures" by basically importing PowerPoint slides
into Captivate and then recording audio.
I would like to point (with the cursor, for example, or even
highlight) specific words, equations or regions in the slide while
I am recording the audio. I know I can first record audio and then
include all types of effects (edit) later on, but that takes more
time. Is it possible to "save" cursor movements while recording
audio with Captivate? I do not want to use a screencasting software
for doing that because of the larger file size it would generate.
Thanks,

Hi lazylecturer
No, as far as I know it isn't possible to accomplish what you
are wanting. Not if you simply imported the PowerPoint and went
from there. You might try this approach if you are using Captivate
3. Set PowerPoint up to play in a window and adjust the size to
what you wish to see in Captivate. Then launch Captivate and record
using the full motion option. The full motion option was improved
in Captivate 3 so as to accommodate longer recordings.
Cheers... Rick

  • Recording Audio Simultaneously while importing video in iMovie 11

    I need to import live video and record audio simultaneously. Unfortunately I have to select a clip and do voice over and it is not going to be as effective. Is there any way around this?

    Ok
    I tried that but no go.
    In the handy cam viewer as soon as I plug in the cabe it shows HDV out iLink and immediatly changes to HDV in iLink. I assume that the cable is right than.
    I have no possiblety jet to check the cable but it is only 6 months old and not used much.
    The port on the MacBook pro is ok I used a firewire 800 external drive and it shows up an I can browse the disk.

  • Notes App That Can Import Word Docs and Record Audio

    I have Pages now which you can import Word docs to.
    I have another app that can record audio and take notes, but you can't import documents.
    Is there an app that does both? Import Word docs that I can edit and then also record audio at the same time?
    Thanks!!

    Yes you can use Pages for Word documents and transfer the files as Word documents to iTunes and then to your desktop via file sharing. I use it. Frankly I haven't paid attention to any of the spell check features at all so I can't say for sure that it will work the way that you want it to work.
    From everything that I have read about Pages v Documents to Go, I was under the impression that Docs to Go was the much better choice for all around compatibility with Word files. Actually, Pages has some issues going from Pages on the iPad to Pages on the Mac in terms of compatibility and formatting.

  • SWF Preview and recording audio

    In Captivate 6, I inserted a recording slide in my project without narration. Now, I need to record the audio to the slide. When I open the audio recording window and check the box to enable the SWF preview, the preview begins playing automatically, making it impossible for me to record the audio in sync with the demonstration. I watched a tutorial of a gentleman using this feature, and his playback did not begin playing until his recording began. Is there a setting that configured improperly that I can't find, or something else? Thank you!

  • How Do I Watch/Preview Movie and Record Audio (voice over) Simultaneously

    First.. thank for taking the time to read this post -- much appreciated.
    I located another post that someone reported which is almost identical to issue I am experiencing with Garageband. Here is the link
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4741084&#4741084
    I have attempted to follow through the solution that was provided, however I was unable to successfully resolve the issue.
    Essentially, what I would like to do is this. After importing my iMovie project to Garageband, with a use of a Mic, I wish to record a commentary audio track or voice over while I watch my video/movie in the Movie Preview pane from the Track Info window at the same time. I can not rely on the Movie track line as my preview or movie window to watch the movie.
    However, for some reason, I can not figure out how I can get the movie preview pane to show/display while I am recording. To help illustrate my problem, I have I posted a video of the issue. Please feel free to view the video and help me understand if this is by-design behavior in GB or a bug or simple 'user error'
    http://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=-3496774833411051076
    Appreciate your immediate help
    Thank you!
    Rami

    Hey Hangtime, give you permission to kick me in the head! I feel stupid now knowing that it is a silly user error. Here I was trying to figure out if its in the 'Details' frame.
    In otherwords, 'Detail's is set to '>' and not pointing downwards.
    Funny thing is, you would think there would be a scroll bar to move up and down to reveal the Movie Preview frame if the 'Details' pane is expanded in the Track Info window.
    In any case... Thanks HT!

  • Please help me with recording and playing audio simultaneously!!!

    Right now I can either play the incoming stream OR record it. I tried making Clones for datasource like :
    DataSource clone1 = Manager.createCloneableDataSource(originalSource);
    Then I pass it to these 2 classes:
    new playThread(clone1).run;
    new recordThread(clone1).run;
    playThread is a Thread class that will take the cloned datasource and then plays it while recordThread will record the incoming datasource. Here is what happens when i run them one after another:
    When I run playThread before recordThread I get ACM driver error. But if I run the recordThread before playThread the playThread's playerWindow shows up and plays for a split second then stops; The recordThread does record all the incoming stream though... Here are my questions....
    1. Anyone know what my problem is? is it resource alocation? Threading problem?
    2. Did I use the clone datasource correctly? I tried making clone1, clone2 but those didnt work well either...Should I do anything to the clones for record and play? all I did was pass them to the 2 classes and those classes just use them straight out without proccessing or anything...
    Please help me out!!!! thanks a bunch!

    i dont think it is... i tried the clone thing but samething happened... it might be a Thread problem since when i put those together sometimes record runs sometimes player runs... and at the end i get "ERROR while querying ACM driver's information" error..... i am really confused...
    DataSource clone1 = Manager.createCloneableDataSource(originalSource);
    DataSource clone2 = Manager.createCloneableDataSource(clone1);
    playerThread play= new playerThread(clone1);
    recordThread record= new recordThread(clone2);
    record.start();
    broad.start();
    anyone can help is appreciated

  • Playback and record  Audio Tracks

    Dear all,
    Maybe a simpel question for you to help me out.
    I use Logic Pro 8.
    I recorded a song on track 1 and now i want to record vocals on Track 2
    Can I play track 1 while recording vocals on track 2?
    It doesn't work.
    Thanks in advance!!!!

    It works with me fine, because when I do Audio recording I use headphones so the microphone doesn't pick up what im saying/singing over and over again.
    I always hear what I already have on Logic.
    Maybe you have to change something in settings or preferences.

  • Reading and Recording audio waveforms with SoundBlas

    Does any of the Soundblaster hardware or software have the ability to record an audio waveform. Specifically, if I put an audio input into the soundblaster, can it read and recored the waveform's voltage value?

    Just in case some one might need it, I solved my problem:
    I simply needed to initialize the AudioSession before playing/recording. I did so with the following code:
    OSStatus err;
    AudioSessionInitialize(NULL, NULL, MyInterruptionListener, self);
    UInt32 sessionCategory = kAudioSessionCategory_PlayAndRecord;
    err = AudioSessionSetProperty (kAudioSessionProperty_AudioCategory,
    sizeof (sessionCategory),
    &sessionCategory);
    AudioSessionSetActive(TRUE);

  • Meeting place 8.5.1 WebEx deployment and recording audio calls

    Have MeetingPlace 8.5.1 application server (Web Ex deployment model -- 1 server) and we need to record our audio calls and that option displays error.
    I looked over docs and configuration guidelines, and see no recording options on our config pages for users/user groups like the documentation states to enable this.
    Do I need a audiorecording license, and if so, is the WebEx deployment model the correct model to work with recording? The cisco docs on this are not very clear and I haven't found a document that really lists/compares every feature available for each deployment model. The documents that mention audiorecording license talk about an Audio server or meetingplace deployment.
    Thanks, Erick

    I have this working now, I had to add a 1- to the access number so it was 1-XXX-XXX-XXXX on the Meeting Place web ex configuration page then redo the Webex configuratin setup.

  • Recording audio and adding pics

    I have an iPhone 4 and I would like to record myself singing a song and put it to pics from my phone without hooking up to a computer. How can I do this? Is there an app for that? I've found ones with will do it to songs on my playlist but not a recording

    Hi Comoass,
    The application that I would recommend for you would be iMovie. With iMovie, you can create your project and record audio, such as a voiceover, directly into the project. This first link is a general overview of iMovie for iOS.

  • Sync of recorded audio and FLV video.

    Hey guys,
    I'm having a major problem. I'm trying to create a project
    that involves recording audio based on a video and then playing
    them back together in sync. The recording is sent to a Flash Media
    Server and the video comes from a local file.
    When recording starts I create the netConnection and
    netStream respectively. I then create an onStatus even for the net
    stream so that what the status code == NetStream.Publish.Start the
    video begins to play.
    Then when I play back the recording I create an inStream for
    the newly recorded file to play through. Once its onStatus event ==
    "playing" the my local video file starts.
    To me this all seems logical but there are obvious sync
    issues. I've managed to capture a delay between my initial call for
    my outStream to publish and the time that it actually sends the
    onStatus event. I've tried thinking of ways to use this data to
    affect my playback but nothing has worked right now.
    Hopefully someone out there has worked on a similar project
    or at least has experience with these types of things.
    Thanks so much in advance,
    Mr. PinC

    I have been searching the internet for days on a simple, standard answer for my problem. I am shooting video using a Canon 5d mark II and recording audio separately using an Olympus LS-10. I want to sync the audio from the Olympus to the video from the 5d mark II. I am editing with Final Cut Express 4. When I try doing it manually, the audio from the Olympus seems to be in between frames and I cannot line them up exactly.
    I exported the movie files through MPEG Streamclip to Apple DV/DVCPRO-NTSC, 720x480(DV-NTSC). I converted the audio files in Itunes to AIFF files at 48khz and 16 bit stereo.
    What are the exact settings I should be using for the video and audio?
    Do I need to change the frame rate of the video?
    Do I need to change the sample rate or speed of the audio?
    Is there a way to slide the audio clip in between frames?
    Any advice is much appreciated. Thank you in advance for any help!

  • Can't record Audio while recording an Audio Instrument?

    Okay, so I never expected this to be a problem. I've just recently begun recording multiple tracks at the same time (all audio-only until this point). I'm sure there's a really simple solution to this, but I can't seem to find it.
    Today I wanted to record a few strums on my guitar and then play a few chords on the keyboard, going back and forth. I armed the track for the guitar (it will record by itself, by the way) and then armed the track for the keyboard (which will also record by itself). I hit record, did my thing, and the audio for the guitar just didn't record. All I had was MIDI.
    Both tracks appeared armed for recording.
    I had the Audio Instrument track currently selected, so I figured maybe it got priority. If I selected the Audio track though, the Audio Instrument track was no longer considered armed.
    Is this just something I can't do? Or maybe there's an option I can change for this in Preferences or something?
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes. I'm 100% certain that I'm getting the signal from the guitar. The levels change as I strum both before and during recording.
    -If I have the guitar's track both selected and armed, it will record.
    -If I have the guitar track armed with a different audio track selected, it will record.
    -If I have the guitar track armed with an Audio Instrument track selected, only the Audio Instrument records.
    -I cannot arm both the guitar track and an Audio Instrument track with the guitar track selected, because as soon as I select the guitar track, the Audio Instrument track(s) become unarmed.
    This is not a matter of me getting no sound out of the recording- there is simply no recording. (And during recording, the little dialog box doesn't pop up to tell me that audio is recording.)
    It does seem simple enough, and yet it doesn't work. I can record multiple audio tracks, but for some reason once I throw a MIDI track into the mix I can't record audio simultaneously.
    I have no reason to believe this is anything other than Logic as I can record both separately (without altering the configuration of how I have things plugged into my computer at all). I just can't seem to do them together.
    Surely Logic can be used to record something like... MIDI keyboard and vocals simultaneously, right? This has to be a feature.
    If you don't quite get what my problem is, open Logic and test out the bullet points at the top of this message. That should help you understand.

  • Can I record audio on an iPad direct from a mac via line out

    I use the noteability app alot, recording audio at a live lecture works great.  However, due to a bug you can not add an audio file directly into your notes (at the moment), you must record them.
    I have a bunch of podcasts that I would like to add to my notes.  I know I could play them from my mac and record audio through the ipads mic but what I hoped  to do was connect a male to male cable between the line out of my mac into my ipad, playing the audio without interferance.  This didn't work
    Does anyone know if there is a similar way to do this or something I could have done wrong. 
    Thanks

    yeah - you can do it, but you need an adapter.  The earphone jack on a pad is a special jack with stereo headphone uot put and a seperate mic in channel.  The adapters i have seen are usually built to accomodate a standard 1/4 in - into the pad, like the one in the attached link.  In theory, you could use the lineout on the mac, to a 1/4 in male - then into this adapter to get it back into the pad.   Somebody probably makes the cable you need with the 1/4 shift, but I couldn't find one.
    Options - in you notes, insted of copying the file, put a link to the podcast

  • Freezes when I hit record (audio)

    When I have audio already on a track and hit record midway, it freezes. Strangely, I can start a new empty track and record audio from there, but if I try to cut in on a track midway with audio on it, it freezes. Using Logic 10.1.0, Mac OS 10.9.4 6 GB memory, plenty of room on disk, formatted Mac OS Extended. Using a Scarlett 18i8 interface, but it does the same thing when using Core Audio on the Mac. And no crash report will surface when I force quit. Have tried permissions repair to no avail. And tried removing all unused audio tracks from the Project Audio list, does not help.
    Anyone?

    Actually, there were not steps suggested (at least that I saw) for garageband freezing when I hit record. I read through all the links (and almost went blind) and and did a search on the site, maybe I missed it.
    If you have an answer to this probelem I would love to try any suggestions.
    Thanks
