QT Screen Recording audio app + narration

I'm trying to create a QT Screen Recording where the app in question is an audio app - the only audio recorded is the microphone. One solution is to use Soundflower. Soundflower itself is simple.. after installing, use Garageband's audio preferences to output to Soundflower, and set QT's Screen Recording audio input to Soundflower. This sends all the GB audio directly to QT.
However, that excludes the Mac's own microphone and anything I might wish to say - and record.
An Audio Midi Setup "aggregate device" allegedly allows multiple sound sources to be mixed together. I created one using the Mac's microphone and the Soundflower audio source (i.e. Garageband output).
A block diagram would be:
Garageband audio out>Soundflower
Aggregate device: Mac Mic + Soundflower (Garageband output)
Aggregate device is set as the QT audio input device - except it doesn't show up in the Record tool!!
And what should the System Audio Output be set to during QT recording?
Soundflower offers another piece supposedly offering audio mixing called SoundflowerBED. It's running up in my Menu bar, but the choices it offers are cryptic.
Any wisdom on this???
thanks - Karl out West

Can I record audio when screen recording?
Depends on which app you are using and what form of audio you want to record. E.g., QT X can record audio via the line in or built-in microphone option but not the system audio. On the other hand, an application like Snapz Pro X can record microphone and/or the Mac system audio.
Are there settings for the quality of recording, etc?
QT X has two quality presets from which to choose. Third-party screen capture apps may have other options. E.g., Snapz Pro X allows the user to select any of audio and/or video compression options for which the system is configured for final output.

Wanting to develop iOS app on Azure for sharing recorded audio stories/narratives

I'm about to start developing an app for iPhone (and eventually Android) that should allow users to:
-record audio narratives
-upload those audio narratives to azure
-browse and listen to the audio narratives that others users have uploaded
-I really want to be able to stream these narratives for playback instead of just downloading or doing a progressive download
I've been trying to use Azure and its media services to achieve this, but I really haven't found any good documentation for audio streaming, especially with iOS/objective-c. There seems to be a lot on video streaming, but nothing on audio.
I'm not an inexperienced developer, but I have never messed with media streaming, and I am fairly new to iOS. Any suggestions? Is Azure the right way to go? Do I really need to stream or would progressive download really be good
enough in my case? Would I be able to get far enough using the video streaming tutorials? (ie, is the code for streaming video and audio pretty much the same?) Are there any other third party services or APIs that would work well to accomplish
this in conjunction with Azure? Any other insights or links to documentation would be great. The only real constraint is that we want to do this on iOS first (vs switching to Android or other platform, though eventually we do want to expand
to other platforms). Thank you!

Unfortunately, the burden is on the app developers to make their stuff fit with the iOS, not on Apple to accommodate them. Uninstalling and reinstalling is probably your only fix. And if their app isn't compatible with iOS7, then you may be needing to look for a new app.
I'd just go ahead and delete it and reinstall it. Chances are that file either isn't there or is corrupt and won't work anyway.

Screen recording small app requested

The Screen Recording toolbar in Android 4.4.4 is really helpful, but I would like to access it through the small apps bar. For instance, it is much easier to start the Screen shot function from the small app than through the power on/off button.
In the same way, I request a small app to access the floating Screen Recorder toolbar, instead of through the Power on/off button.
For the programmer who knows how to make a small app, that should be fairly simple.
Solved!

Screen Recording Audio

I want to record a webinar that I'm watching and listening to.
I don't want my background noise recorded.
Is there a way to disable my macbook's mic but still be able to record the audio from the webinar? Or do I need something more advanced than Quicktime?

I can't help but wonder why they even botherd making the video recording software if they diidn't include audio .
I tend to consider such features add-ons because to appeal to novice users because the features are incomplete as far as functonality is concerned or too dependent on the CPU power of the platform on which it is used. This is why I tend to use dedicated import and/or screen capture applications. Normally, I would recommend using an app like Snapz Pro X from Ambrosia ($69) but they too are having problems updating or replacing their audio "kernel extension" following system audio changes made in the Lion OS release. ScreenFlow ($99) is another good screen capture app but it includes a number of editing features that many users do not want or for which they are not willing to pay such a high price. I personally amd looking at what, for me, is a new app listed in an article URL posted by QTKirk. The app is called Screenflick and lists for $29. I am interested in it because they claim you can tap into user events like key presses (e.g., use of keyboart shortcuts) and highlight/include them in your captures. (I.e., this would be very handy for the makie of "quickie" tutorials.) In any event, I have not tried this app so I can't yet recommend it based on personal use... but it might be worthing looking at if you plan to purchase such a utility. (And yes, it does claim to support the audio capture of both system audio and/or a user selectable mic source.)

QuickTime Screen Recording: Audio Omitted Until Screen Activity Starts

I'm using QuickTime Player 10.1 on a 2011 MacBook Air 13" running Lion. I'm trying to make screen recordings with audio. This is working apart from the fact that the start of the recording is delayed until there is some screen activity. This is very inconvenient.
While this strikes me as probably a bug, I guess it's worth asking if anyone has any ideas for how to correct this behaviour?
Thanks,
Peter

I would think soundflower could do this as screenium uses it to do just what you are saying. But I have not been able to do it natively on QT X

Recommended tool for recording screen, adding audio later

I need to create a training video on my MAC (new MAC user). I used to use (gasp!) Flash to produce training videos, and that allowed me to add audio files separately. Like the rest of the world, our company is getting more and more MAC users, so I need to find a new tool to generate a video that is Windows, MAC, and iPad 2 compatible. Since it appears that it's easier to produce something for Windows from a MAC rather than the reverse, I've opted to use my MAC at home to do this project. However, I'm a MAC novice, so I don't have many tools at my disposal, and I'm in unfamiliar territory.
I would LIKE to create a video screen capture, add audio separately, perhaps in segments, do some video editing to correct my mistakes, and perhaps add some text to the video. I need to capture the mouse cursor as well. And of course, I'd like to keep the cost at a minimum. Does anyone have any suggestions?
I'm currently considering iMovie for editing, but it isn't clear to me if I can capture the screen video and cursor with this tool.
Easy Video Recorder for Mac is another option. Has anyone used this tool? Is there a better option?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or guidance you can provide to this new MAC convert.

Hi eholz1,
The method I favor is not included in
any of your three (3) options. I agree that the "script is
everything", but I generally add audio from that script as a
separate step - after the recording process - as a part of the
routine editing procedure. That works better for me than to narrate
while recording.
I reject out of hand the idea of using a third-party audio
program to separately record audio to be separately
inserted/imported later ... the work involved in synchronizing
audio on the time-line is considerable, and often results in its
own horror stories about editing slide audio timing to correspond
to slide timing of objects and other actions. But maybe that's just
me. But maybe it's not ...
see
this thread
for an example of how screwed up and frustrated you can
become, trying to fit a round peg into a square hole (with all
respect to the author of that thread.
In other news, I see nothing wrong with calling members uh,
members. I respond pretty well to any name that doesn't reference a
body part or function thereof. As a matter of fact, I've even been
called that (right here) from time to time. Sigh. So hard to
generate a little hero worship nowadays - but even so, I think I'll
keep on being me.
Have a nice day!

Screen Recorder with system audio and mic?

I need a screen recorder that:
1. Is free
2. Can Record System Audio and mic at same time
3. Does not need another app or extension
I know the trick with soundflower and quicktime, but I want something that will do the hard stuff for me.
Thanks

You mean "you do not need to pay". The instructions you link to involve a third party application called SoundFlower.

Screen recorder apps scam?

Hi,
I recently downloaded several screenrecorders and what I found was that they are essentially all the same, like in they all seem to use the same code. Most of them are made either by Yuchen, David Pete or Brad Bertram.
Sound recording through the computer doesn't work at all and some bought apps are worse than the free ones
Like Screen Recorder Tool works fine (except for the computer audio) but Video Flow costing 7,99 euros is crap and guess what: Both are from the same developer! (David Pete)
So, is this some sort of scam or something?

You should have read the apps' descriptions and user ratings. All sales on the App Store are final. http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#APPS

Issues recording audio during a screen capture demo

I'm working on a computer with a Windows 7 OS and Captivate 5. I have "stereo mix" enabled as default recording device.(Realtek high definition audio).My task at hand involves demonstrating a video captioning tool, so I need to be recording the video's audio as I step through the process of creating the captions in a web based environment. I must admit that what I am trying to accomplish works easily with other screen capture tools (even free tools) but I would really like to be able use Captivate 5 for this project and others upcoming that require the same functionality. As a last resort, I've also tried adjusting the audio settings within the project (selecting the "narration" option as shown) but I'm not having any luck getting the results I need. I'm really hoping that it's something simple I'm just missing, and that forum experts can nudge me in the right direction... Thanks very much for your input.

OK, I understand now.
But with Captivate, the bad news is that just playing a video file on the screen, and capturing what you see with Captivate will not result in the audio from the video file being captured at the same time.
Captivate records audio via the microphone channel in your computer. What you can do as a possible workaround is turn on your PC audio and place a USB microphone near your speaker to pick up the audio from the video.
Another trick I have sometimes used is to purchase a cable with two male 1/4 inch jacks on each end, then plug one end into the microphone port and the other end into the headphones port on your computer. Be careful to turn the sound down low on your volume control and do some tests to find the appropriate setting where it will record the sound at a good audible volume.
Hope this helps.

QT Player 10.2 no audio in Screen Recording

Unable to record accompanying audio with Screen Recording - video is perfect.

Unable to record accompanying audio with Screen Recording - video is perfect.
If you are referring to "system audio" (i.e., such as the audio in a movie being played on your screen), then that is not a QT screen capture option and you would need to invest in a third-party screen capture app with this feature.

Simultaneous screen and audio recording

How do I do this? A screen recording of my power point presentation and at the same time an audio recording as I am narrating, ending up with a "power point video" that I can put directly on my web page. I am using a Macbook pro version 10.8.5

Solved with Quick Time Player.

How can I use QuickTime to make a screen recording that has both video and audio?

How do use QuickTime to make a screen recording that can be saved with both video and audio together?

do you know of any software that would record a QT movie playing on my Mac screen with both audio and video?
I have used Ambrosia's Snapz Pro X ($69) for years, but they are currently upgrading their Kext (Kernel Extension) software for changes inroduced by the Lion release so it might not be your best bet at this time. I also use ScreenFlow but it is a combination capture and editing utility which runs $99 and may include more features than you may need or will use. Have also tried Screenflick ($29) which, to some extent, appears to have a functionality somewhere between that of Snapz Pro X and ScreenFlow. It is a bit more complicated to set up but for the price might be the best bargin at this point. All three can capture the entire screen or a portion thereof, with or without mic/line and/or system audio. (Or at least they all will as soon as Ambrosia updates its Kext routine.)
Here is a URL link posted by QTKirk three days ago to an article that recaps of a number of currently available third-party screen capture apps from around the world several of which may interest you: http://mac.appstorm.net/roundups/utilities-roundups/10-screen-recording-tools-fo r-mac/

No audio on new screen recording

I am trying to save Apple's iPod tutorial (http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/tutorials/) on my mac. I have succeeded in capturing the video portion of the tutorial, but there is no audio.
In Quicktime, I select File>New Screen Recording. This gives a Screen Recording screen where I select for Microphone: Built-in Input: Line In; also I select audio play through volume to full. In Safari, I start the tutorial web video and then in QT hit the record button and then select Start Recording. When the web video is finished I hit in QT stop recording in the menu bar. The video is saved in my mac Movie folder. I double-click the saved video and it opens in QT. I hit the QT Play button and the video starts playing but there is no audio. What is wrong? I'd appreciate any help.

This URL can be found in the source code for the web page you referenced above, in the "Activity" window after you select the clip you want
I did this and found the URL given in your EXAMPLE DEFAULT.
This was two separate options:
1) You can open the "View Source" window under the View menu and search the web page source code for all video links (both Guided Tours and TV Ads).
2) The Activity window only loads the reference URL after you select a clip for viewing but you seem to have a handle on this already.
or in the Finder "Info" window for the non-playing downloadable reference file.
It is not clear to me how to do this
If you copy the reference link in the Safari Activity window and paste it to the Safari "Download" window, the file it downloads from this web page will not open directly in the QT Player app. (I.e., you get a "Can't open this file" modal message.) However, if you highlight the MOV icon and open the Finder "Info" window, you can still get the full URL reference that will open in the QT Player "Open URL/Location" File menu option.
NOTE: In many cases the file downloaded directly by the Download window is a normal standalone or reference file which can be opened in the QT Player. Unfortunately, that is not the case for the page you gave.
Use the "Control-Click" shortcut to open the context menu and select the "Copy Link" option for the example default tour link above
I started playing the movie and did a control click but don't get a Copy Link option. Can't I just copy and paste the URL address from the movie window?
Was referring to the "Example" link I posted in my last comment. If you "Control-Click" this link, the "Context" menu contains both "Copy Link" and "Download Linked File" options. The "Copy Link" option is handy for copying the associated link to your system's "Clipboard." If you then open the QT Player app, select the "Open Location/URL" option, you can then use the "Command-V" shortcut to paste the copied link to the QT player for opening. (You can also paste the URL to Safari to open the file via the default plug-in.)
NOTE: On some web sites you can simply "Control-Click" the movie, a poster image, or text link and use the "Download Linked File" option to download a movie file directly. Unfortunely, the ability to do this depends on how the page is coded/resources are located so don't be surprised if you end up with something other than you wanted or expected.
Since I am running OS 10.6.7, if I understand you, I don't need to purchase QT7 Pro to do this.
I assume you can. I can do it under OS 10.6.8 Snow Leopard which allows me to copy the data to a new MOV file container without recompressing the data.
