Premiere shows artifacts in screen-captured footage

Hi,
I get artifacts in my screen-captured footage (camstudio, lossless codec) that doesnt seem to appear on other peoples systems. tried different framerate-settings in camstudio, but always get premiere displaying it faulty.
Premiere also tells me that there are several empty frames in my footage, although AfterEffects and the win media player preview it without problems.
Export from AE gives the same results though..
I record at 1024x768 with 30fps and also use these settings for my project. i also set square pixels, progressive-scan, 30fps-timecode, videoforwindows and no compression (same prob w lossless codec)
im definitely a newbie so don't hesitate to point out the most obvious mistakes one could possibly make :) thanks for your time!

Well, in general this seems to work.
one more question though: I foolishly captured some footage at 200fps which I will hardly be able to shoot again. now when i let VDub revamp it to 30fps it just seems to play my 200fps footage at a 30fps rate,which is of course too slow. is that what the video>framerate option in VDub actually does, just stretch the footage?
I figured, i'd just take the original 200fps footage to AP and let it export to a 30fps clip. seems to work if i use the indeo compression.
recapitulating (for who ever cares):
- original capture: 1024x768 at up to 200fps...
- taking it to VirtualDub for recompression to huffyuv, to get rid of artifacts
- exporting from AP at 30fps with Indeo codec
awesome so far. any tips on improvement? thanks for now anyway!

Working with Screen Capture Footage in FCP

I purchased Snapz Pro X to record screen capture footage for a project I am doing. After recording the .mov files I imported them into FCP and edited together a sequence along with music and titling. Unfortunately in the output video the footage looks compressed and fuzzy. I have the project resolution set to an HD setting, but I'm still getting a fuzzy looking screen shot.
What is the proper way to import screen captures into FCP and how do I export them without loosing resolution.
Thank you ahead of time to everyone who has any input?

Hi -
When you saved your SnapZ Pro X movies, a window comes up allowing you to choose the video codec to use when saving the file. What settings did you use?
Also, have you rendered the timeline?
Thanks

Screen capture video flickers . . .

I have screen capture footage from a client that's a .wmv file:
   1024x768
   15fps
   Square pixels
   Progressive
When I create a DVD from the footage I get occasional flicker.
This isn't just the "thin horizontal lines" issue that I'm well aware
of. When it flickers, the entire screen flickers. And, here's
what I really don't understand - the flicker will start/stop even
when I see no motion on the screen.
I've tried the various flicker removal options and they help a bit,
but also make the text harder to read.
I've tried direct import into Encore and a dynamic link from Premiere.
The flicker happens when the DVD is played on my workstation or
plasma TV.
When the original .wmv file is played on the computer it looks perfect.
Help?

Here is what I have come across as well..
I have created a Photoshop file 1920x1080 (settings in Photoshop) which are the full HDV layout Photoshop has.
I made all of my buttons on different text layers and then inmported all of this into Adobe Encore (first time user)
I then set all of my buttons into a timeline which synced up the audio and video (note:Full HD video shot at 1080p - converted in compressor for blu-ray)
Everythning in preview looks great, everything lines up - im ready to burn.
I burn the project - play it on my 50inch Plasma screen TV - and all of the text is flickering and so is the image slightly. Driving me nuts! The videos play fine and are as clear as day! Its amazing quality but the menu is not!
Heres the catch:
I synced up two videos to the menu and thats all I burned with two menus that were active.
The burn was great and no flickering.
OIt seems when I add more data the DVD menu loses quality and starts flickering. I dont think its a burn speed issue or a drive issue, but a software issue! Anything will help!

GTX 660Ti Pe 2GD5/OC driver fail and recover, artifacts on screen

Hello everyone,
Some days ago my pc started suddenly to show artifacts on screen, and a fail and recover message of the video driver showed in the taskbar.
This happened since I bought FC3 Blood Dragon (the game is very unstable, crashes),obviously I don't know if this is related.
This happened also during web navigation and the windows pc score test.
I have updated the nvidia driver to latest version, but it's still the same.
I have W8 64bit and MSI Z77 MPower, the VGA isn't oc.

[UPDATE]
Guys please help me,
this morning at the boot , the horizontal white lines appeared again (with the two stick of memory that yesterday I believed were good).
These lines, i don't know how,caused windows 8 crashing at startup, then I heared a bip form the inside of the pc, windows failed to recovery and then appeared a message that was necessary to restore from a previous checkpoint ! But the mouse was not working so I rebooted from the onboard button in the motherboard.
Now the mouse works, the system seems ok, but really i don't understand this situation.
Is possible that the bad ram sticks are more than one ?
that BIP: that may have been a bip to signify that the Graphics card had CRASHED.... (maybe your Graphics card may be the main Fault here and its got bad VRAM)
your RAM: totally possible that more then one is BAD which is why i said "test each pair or better yet test each Stick individually if possible!" that way you can find out if one or more are bad...

The blue screen message that I get a lot of time at windows closure is "PAGE FAULT IN NONPAGED AREA"
page fault is a HDD error and may be as a resort of the crash and some bad DATA has been wrote to your HDD or SSD! could also be a RAM Error Sending bad DATA to your hard drive thats not clean....

In Windows 8.1 Premiere Pro video imported clips shows up black screen in Source & Work space. Everything is updated on my PC. They say it could have been a Windows update? Is anyone else having this problem and found a solution any suggestions.. Thank you.

Hello, thank you for your help. I finally was able to contact someone from Adobe on line.. It took about 1 hour on hold but I finally won the lotto...Lol. Pr.. /Project/Project Settings/General/ I had the (Mercury Playback Engine GPU Accelerated (CUDA) and not the (Mercury Playback Engine Software Only) It only took 1 second for Adobe to figure it out...Lol.
Although I have a high rated Nvidia card that did handle the software for some time after a hack, I believe a Windows update may have altered my Premiere Pro CS6 settings.
Video card is Geforce Nvidia GTX 765M non compatible with (Mercury Playback Engine GPU Accelerated (CUDA). Thank Ronin Edits and cvid01

Screen capturing in Premiere Pro 2.0?

I'm looking to create a video presentation of my company's proprietary web applications and would like to capture my screen as I navigate through the pages and narrate. I have seen other recently released video editing software that enables users to capture the current screen as video - but we have Preimier Pro 2.0 at the office. Can I screen capture with this version or what kind of upgrade would support this feature?

What Jim points out is unfortunately all too true. Some have had success with Camtasia footage (via conversions, etc.), but many just rely on the limited editing capabilities in the current release. It's also true for Adobe's screen-cap program (name eludes me right now). There seems to be less success with that one, than with Camtasia.
Do not know if CamStudio has any editing features.
You might want to also post to the Video Lounge, as both Jeff Bellune and Curt Wrigley do video tutorials and do them well. They WILL have some ideas for you. The Lounge is for non-Adobe specific questions. Though there is a technical nature to your question, I think it will fit right in, and both are likely to see and respond to your request for info.
Good luck,
Hunt

Best screen capture for using with premiere elements?

i have been scouring the net to figure out how to get better results than what i'm getting with the camstudio (love the program, and it looks great until i pull it into premiere). I have read that it can be a codec issue or an fps issue, but before i follow those trails, i was wondering if there is a screen capture software that works well with premiere, without a lot of hassle. (not necessarily free, just reliable and hassle free with good quality in premiere elements) Anyone have experience with this?
thanks in advance!

Well, we've used Camtasia and Adobe's Captivate to make tutorials for http://www.muvipix.com. They're both excellent, and I've never had a problem with either.
Chuck Engels is really the expert on both those program though. You can find him on the Muvipix forum daily.
Steve.
Would you please provide an update to the process of screen capture? What does muvipix.com and lynda.com use? I'm considering a project where my granddaughters create a couple of training videos for kids. It's a dream, but might work!
Thanks.

I am trying to screen capture a simulation session in captivate 6 and then edit it in premiere pro cc 2014 when I import the video into premiere, it is blurry

Caveat - I am relatively new to adobe captivate and premiere, so hopefully this is a simple setting issue that I have not been able to figure out. When I do a video capture in captivate 6 the output mp4 is very clear. If I play it in windows media player it is crisp and clear. If I import that same mp4 into Premiere Pro CC 2014, it is very blurry. My simulation has gauges and dials that need to be clear and I need to "mix" audio, narration, and system sounds into this video. Any help would be extremely appreciated!

OK - back to my caveat. When I select preferences in Premiere and look at the playback setting, I get options for Preroll, Postroll, Step forward/back many, mercury transmit, Audio device, Adobe DV and disable video output when in backgroud (all of which I am not smart enough to comprehend).
I apologize for my ignorance. So as I continued to read your question, I, of course googled "how to set playback resolution in premiere pro" and I learned how to do that.... They were set to 1/2. I adjusted to full and it seems to be clear now.... I think you just helped me, help myself. Thank you! Did I get it right? Is there any more you can recommend when it comes to taking a screen capture video and making it into an awesome demo?
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you,

How can i change the format of output captured footage using DSR-11 in Premiere Pro CS5.5?

Hi.
I am using Premiere Pro CS5.5, capturing footage off a mini-DV casette (NOT HD) using a Sony DSR-11. All is well with that, except for that the output is an .avi rather than MP4 (H264). I am under the impression that H264 with the extension of .MP4, is better than avi.
Does anyone know if it is possible to change the format of that outputted footage?
thanks:)

thanks Ann, Jim. I was afraid u'd say avi is the only option w/capturing, but am happy to hear it is the best option. Thanks again, and to the others who replied (and i will look at the "best export format/codec" page:)

Screen captures (.avi) appear black in Premiere Pro 2.0

I have been using two screen capture programs: HyperCam2 and Camtasia to create .avi files. I have been importing the .avi files into Premiere Pro 2.0, and then editing the avi content. This process worked well.
Recently, the .avi screen captures that I have importing into Premiere Pro 2.0 appear black although the same .avi files play properly in any media player that supports .avi files.
Can anyone tell me what has changed, or how to correct this problem?

That is LIKELY a codec problem... where you have installed something new, which included a codec, and that install process told Windoze via the Registry something like "put my codec in 1st place" and doing that now causes your old codec to be a lower priority... and your files don't work properly

Captivate 7 Screen Captures (scrolling) not showing when published in HTML5

I am using Captivate 7 and when I publish in HTML5 my screen captures (of the screen scrolling) do not show -- I get a blank screen for a couple of seconds --, even though they show when I preview for the Web in HTML5. They also show when I play them locally, but not from my server. Here is a link to a short video that has this problem -- click the fast forward button seven times after clicking play to get to a screen scroll. http://streaming.missioncollege.org/library/media/Tutorials/Title/index.html

I was using Internet Explorer 9. This morning I tried 10 & 11 with the same results. It works fine in Chrome and on a Mac with Safari. I do not have my iPad with me today, but I tried it this weekend and had the same problem, though I just updated my OS, so I will try again. If it does not work well on an iPad then I might as well output as FLASH. I will try my iPad again tonight and report back tomorrow. Thanks.

Pb G4 1.67Ghz running OS 10.4, right side of the screen 2, pixel wide vertical lines, a few days later colors posterized on pics and vid. Vertical lines don't show screen capture, but pics still posterized. Hardware test from disk shows ok.

Right side of screen started showing 2, pixel wide vertical lines. A few day later colors in pics and vid posterized. Vertical lines don't show in screen capture but pics still bad. Ran hardware test from disk, ok, adjusted color in sys prefs, new profiles a bit better but still bad, mpeg worse, jpeg bad. No better in new user account. Now a month later, right side has 8 vert lines and occasionally a slightly darker area in bottom corners for a few seconds. Reset pram, battery plugged into adaptor 99%. I can notice, for a slit second, when the screen saver is on, when I move cursor to get back to desktop, true color of image can be seen for a flash of a second.

sorry, was in a rush, any suggestions to fix or ideas of what has gone wrong

Using Premiere for screen captures

Hi Gang-
Would love to use Premiere to simply capture my screen actions along with my narrated audio so that I can take advantage of the speech-to-text functionality for print and search capabilities. Does anyone know if this is possible? Is there a way to tell Premiere to use my screen as the recording device? I've used SnapZPro X and Captivate on Mac and Windows respectively, but it's that speech-to-text functionality that I'd love to take advantage of in Premiere. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Rich

Paul-
Thanks for your reply. Yes, I saw that camtasia software, and while it looks impressive I really need something that has the speech-to-text capabilities. I have MacDictate (Dragon) but the Premiere CS4 has speech to text that actually syncs up to the timeline of the sequence. So if I search on "bulldog" and I have one occurrence of it somewhere in the middle of my sequence than I could take the user right to that point in the move. Catch my drift? I'd hate to have to film my screen from my camera but I may end up doing that in this case.... maybe someone else will come up with something clever. If I get a stroke of genius (very unlikely at this late hour) I'll be sure to post. Thanks again for your input.

How do I connect two video cameras to my computer have them both show up on the desktop at the same time so I can see and capture both images using a screen capture program?

Hello,
I am a teacher and want to make some videos to post online for my class. I would like to have it set up so that I have a powerpoint presentation going, a video camera pointing at a piece of paper I can write on and another video camera pointing at me. How do I do this? I have seen several solutions but they seem to be for switching between videos whereas I want both video images to be on at the same time.
Also, is there a screen capture program you would recommend?

Go to System Preferences - Sharing and change the computer name there. You can also, optionally, change the name of your hard drive to further clarify the origin of your backups. Click once on the "Macintosh HD" on your desktop, then click its name to allow you to edit it.
