Quicktime problem screen capture
i used quicktime to record my screen and when i pressed "stop" it said "finishing" for a week and I cant quit the app. Its still going and I cant turn off my computer Thats what I see.
I have a similar problem. I used to reliably do screen recordings. That is, I would do the screen recording, I would save the recording and I would be able to view it. Now, I have intermittently been able to save the recording, but most of the time what I have saved is several minutes only of what should have been a much longer recording. In the last two weeks, I have one recording of about 53 minutes....but otherwise all the recordings seem to stop early, I am unaware of it, I save the recording and it's only several minutes long. Very bizarre. Screencapture used to be reliable.
I am running OSX 10.9.5

Lion, Quicktime Screen-capture, and Photoshop
I've used Quicktime's screen capture tool to create Photoshop video guides in the past and it's produced really high quality, high fps results in a small file. However, since I've upgraded to OS X Lion, my entire computer is brought to its knees during a Photoshop recording session. As soon as I hit record, boom - Photoshop becomes really choppy and it's almost impossible to create a decent video.
Could anyone else here with Lion do a quick test to see if you get the same results? Just open up a Photoshop file, open Quicktime, go to New / New Screen Recording, and see if you're able to use Photoshop without any performance drop.
I'm running CS5 on a dual quad-core mac pro with 12 gigs of ram. It's about 3 years old, but I shouldn't be running into a performance hit like this.
Any feedback on your own experience or tests would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!Under OS X "Lion," every screen capture tool I have (Snapz Pro X, Screenflow, Layers, iShowU HD Pro) will no longer capture a DVD frame—if the DVD is being played by Apple's DVD Player. The resulting screen cap shows a "transparent" window. VLC still works in that regard. I've also noticed that the iTunes app no longer has a free-floating video window, which was always my preference. Videos now show within the boundaries of the iTunes window, or full-frame. One more note on Apple DVD Player is that invoking full-frame playback will slide in a new "space" with a background similar to that seen on iPads or behind the Desktop Widgets.
I realize capturing DVDs is not what you're trying to do, but all of the above indicates a complete change to the way OS X handles any streamed video. I have yet to make a test, but I suspect that output-to-NTSC through monitor ports may also be inhibited for certain things; Apple may be plugging the "analog hole" with software. My guess is that whatever background routines are responsible for this may be sufficient to slow the frame rate of your tutorial captures—in the same way that heightened security at airports now significantly slows boarding procedures. -
Quick time X Screen Capture Audio noise
Hello,
I'm trying to create a tutorial video with Quicktime X Screen Capture with Audio on my Mac Mini. I have Mountain Lion.
When I record on high quality for about 8 minutes and then playback when I'm finished, I notice a crackling noise being introduced after approx. the 2min30sec mark. Why does that happen? When I record Audio Only it doesn't happen.
I've tried the same headset on several computers and it is okay. Like I said, there is no crackling until 2 mins and 30 seconds pass by.
How can I reinstall Quicktime X to make it all fresh or maybe downgrade a version?Actually, I was wrong. The same problem occurs in Quicktime X Audio Only capture.

I cannot screen capture DVD's on my MacBook. Help?
I've been trying to use movie clips for a project. Basically, I insert the DVD into my laptop, pull it up, get my QuickTime Player screen capture thing all ready and then press record. The moment I press record the movie "grey's out" and doesn't uncover iself until I stop the recording. Why is this? How can I fix it?
That's a feature that's been included with the system and software for a while now so users can't duplicate copyrighted material which is illegal.

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
Neo

Bad quality in quicktime screen capture in maverics
Why the quality in quicktime screen capture is so bad with maverick? It appears that all quality controls for quick time recording completely disappeared? Are there any possibilities to record screen again in HD as in the previous OS? Thanks in advance!

Green screen capturing quicktime
Hello people i am having some issues screen capturing with quicktime but also on other programs that are based on the same technology that i downloaded from the app store, such as easy capture, basically, i try to capture the screen image recording a clip and the whole clip is shown as GREEN flat green, i believe it could be a problem with the codecs since i have also installed adobe but i just dont understand.. is anyone here common with this problem i m very eager to read comments about this!
Actualy DivX player just shows the same green screen too.
Finder says the file is 350 MB on the disk but quick time only says its 2 MB in the movie info window. -
I purchased my Macbook (17") through a certified apple tecnition in August 2012, it was refurbished and the motherboard was completely replaced. I do a lot of photo editing, but I have been unable to do so because of the red vibrating lines that interrupt my screen. The issue disappears temporarily when I tap on the computer, and the problem does not occur when I use external display or try to screen capture the problem. I brought the computer back to the technition I purchased it from and he said that it was a problem with my fan, so I have two new fans but the issue is still occuring. He says he doesnt know whats wrong. Does anyone have any information on this issue?
Here is an image of the issue
http://www.flickr.com/photos/67839707@N08/8884847081/I recommend having your Mac serviced by someone competent. A force sufficient to "blow apart" the fans was clearly excessive and may have damaged the display cable, as well as any number of other problems.
Dust is properly cleaned with a vacuum, preferably one designed for computer service, and they are not cheap.
Compressed air should never be used. It just blows dust everywhere, often into places where it can no longer be removed. -

Importing screen capture from Quicktime X
I am in the process of making training videos for my job. For a couple videos I want to show how to access certain areas of a website. I have been doing screen captures of these using Quicktime X. They are recording at 1920x1200 with a frame rate around 9fps. My timeline in FCP will be 1920x1080 at 29.97, upper-field first. I will be working with pro res 422 from AVCHD camera files. For the life of me I can not get these screen captures into FCP. It says invalid format, and I'm guessing it has to do with the frame rate. I tried converting these screen captures to pro res 422 at 1920x1080 in Toast 10, and while they converted, the videos then played back super super fast in FCP, probably adjusting to the frame rate.
Can someone help me figure out a good way to do this?There are a couple of things that will absolutely make you task rife with challenges; one is that 9fps will cause the screen capture to play back in a 29.97fps or even a 24fps video sequence way, way fast! Optimum solution is to capture at the same frame rate that you will be editing your training video in. Hopefully you can do that over and adjust the frames per second. The other issue is that your screen capture is not in a video resolution. Regardless, you should be able to set in the resulting video of the screen capture and keep the aspect ratio, and either size it to fill or fit within the 1920x1080 sequence frame. As for the frame rate difference, it's just extremely different, so you may need to conform it in Cinema Tools and then slow it down by using command- J (apple key + "J") and entering a percent under 100, somewhere around 30%.
So basically the best solution is to be able to do your screen capture at 29.97 fps but if you're past that opportunity, then conform the clips in Cinema Tools to 29.97 and slow the clips down. -
Stratosphere- Problem with Screen Capture and Group Text Reply
I have a problem with the side button that locks/unlocks the phone. I don't know why it happens but sometimes when I press the side button to lock the phone it takes a screen shot and send its to my Gallery under the folder ScreenCapture. I can't figure out why it does this sometimes, and when i want to actually take a screen shot I cant.
Anyone know how exactly you can take a screen shot?
Another question i have is with Group Texts. Is there a way to reply all when I receive a text that was sent to multiple people or can I only reply to the sender?
Hope someone can help thanks!Hello kfeatherstone! I can provide you with instructions for taking a screenshot:
1. Press both the Power and Home buttons briefly.
2. You should hear a “click” sound and the screen will say “Screen captured. Saved as image file
In regards to your messaging, "reply to all" is not an available option. I hope this information helps!

Problem recording sound during screen capture
Hi
I'm having a problem when recording screen captures in Windows XP SP3 in Boot Camp.
There is almost no sound. There is a very low sound level being picked up from the microphone.
The screen capture software I'm using is Capture Solution by SProsoft. I get the same result when using Windows Media Encoder, so I don't think it is a problem with the capturing program.
There is no problem with Windows XP making the sounds as I use it. It is just that I cannot record those sounds.
Thank you for any assistance you can give.Hi ya I solved it..... I brought it back to the shop I got my phone in and they gave me a brand new one.
I had it for 11 months when I returned it and it was still covered by warranty hope this helps :) -
Quicktime screen capture area size limit?
I really like the video screen capture capability of Quicktime, and especially the selectable area in the new OS. BUT, when I try to use it, and try to drag out a small capture area (a couple of hundred pixels), as soon as I complete the drag, the box suddenly gets bigger. As if there is a minimum size for the capture box, and I'm trying to command a smaller capture box than that. It won't let me do that, but defaults to a larger box. I can't make the box any smaller. I've never heard about this. Is this really true? If so, why would there be a minimum size of the box??
So if I want to capture a smaller piece of screen video, I have to capture 240x480, and then go into another application to crop it. Just doesn't make any sense.
You can do that if you want.
You can also update your system to Mavericks which I am using and which does not seem to have this limitation. Here is the QT 7 inspector window for a 72x34 pixel screen capture I just made:
And here is how the clip displays in the QT 7 player:
Here is the QT X v10.3 "Inspector" window:
And here is how the clip looks in the QT X v10.3 player:
As a fellow user, I have no idea as to why there are recording/playback limitations. If you feel so strongly about the matter, then you should send product feedback regarding the matter.
If upgrading your OS is out of the question, then a third possible workflow option would be to purchase a commercial screen capture utility having the capabilities and features you require.
When I try to select a smaller box, the capture box snaps out to 240x480. I can't capture a frame smaller than that. It simply won't let me. All those numbers sound pretty arbitrary, BTW. Whyever are there these 350/240/480 limits? One might think that if the playback limit was an arbitrary 350 pixels for some reason, the capture limit would be the same. But no.
Once again I have no knowledge as to the significance of the recording and/or playback limitations or why they vary between your system and mine. Unfortunately, Apple is not known for providing such information to users regarding the technical specifications, why they were implemented, and/or why they change. -

I did a screen capture using Captivate and when I bring it over to my editing program to synch with the speakers video, the total running time of the screen capture is off by a considerable margin. The video (which was started and stopped almost simultaneously with the screen capture) is much longer than the screen capture.
I'm afraid that, in the screen capture something was checked to not record real time. Is that an option? Thanks in advance!!!
I'm running Captivate 4.Hi there
Indeed there is such an option. You find it by clicking Edit > Preferences > Recording > Settings > Actions in real time.
Cheers... Rick
