Quicktime screencast capture is jumpy after rendering

I have captured video of my screen for a screencast I'd like to edit, and when I have rendered it (either in high or medium quality), the video image is jumpy, colors pop in and out (mostly going red), and the footage is then unusable. When I play the original imported video file, it looks good (although it still drops frames occasionally).
Anyone have any hints about how to use Quicktime video capture of the entire screen? Should I look into another screen capture program?
Thank you!

Did you transcode to ProRes HQ?
If so, your system and or hard drive may not have enough juice to play it back in Quicktime without skipping.
ProRes LT is what your clips should be transcoded to.
If you have Unlimited RT activated for the sequence with dynamic settings, it may appear to play back correctly, but actually the quality and/or frame rate may be lowered slightly for realtime playback.

Audio loses sync after rendering

Imported clips from FCP capture scratch. Adjusted length of clips with motion. It plays fine when reviewing work but after rendering, about 7 seconds into the piece, the snyc is non existent. What have I done wrong?

yeah, I went back, trashed the original, captured everything in a sequence from FCP sent it to motion, added other effects and it worked fine. Some things you can do, some things you can't. Seems as though motion really did not like me importing the clips as quicktime, then modifying the duration in motion. Extra step still don't have a clue as to why I did it that way except the clock did read 4am! Hmmm....could be the answer.

Poor quality graphics after rendering

Hi- I'm importing still pics into FCP v5.1.4 at 300 dpi at size exported (took a still frame from captured video and used it as a template in photoshop). The graphic looks great but after rendered, it's of poor quality in canvas.
Sequence settings DV-NTSC 48KHz - Frame size 640 x 480 aspect: NTSC 4:3 > Quicktime Video Settings-Best Quality DV/DVCPRO - NTSC.
I changed the sequence settings to Animation at best quality which rendered better, not great, but took a long time with big files. I'm not sure if this is the way to go.
Should I match FCP video settings > Sequence Presets to Sequence Settings?- as I see no "Animation" in Sequence presets.
I just want to out put sharp good quality graphics and type- is there a recommended set up in FCP for efficient and best quality graphics and type?
humbly yours, j

Thanks for all your quick responses and good input. I forgot to mention that the stills are with video footage- should be "Interlaced" ?
I have come up with a pretty good solution using "Animation" setting. The following are my notes:
I changed the sequence settings to Animation at best quality which rendered better, not great, but took a long time with big files. I'm not sure if this is the way to go.
However when exporting using Quick Time Movie output is jagged and files were big: 60 to 117 MB.
Outputting to Quick Time Conversion was better using Animation compression at highest quality but file was too big. Changed that to medium and a reasonable 7.65 MB resulted with a reasonable quality when viewed from Quick Time.
Issues to contend with- will iDVD use this file and display quality? If that .mov file be of quality if put into a FCP timeline?
The DVD came out OK. I will play around with sized 72 dpi's for stills.
Thanks again! j

Sound problems after rendering

Hi,
Being that I have Premiere Pro 7.0, I am not too sure how much help I will get, but i was hoping that someone here could still help if all possible. Here is my problem. I thought I start practicing developing video lessons for 3d software. These lessons would be created using a screen captureing program, called camStudio. In my first lesson, my first try doing the entire lesson as one video, I found out that the video file size exceeded CamStudio's exporter file size allowance when trying to save out to Microsoft DV 1 AVI file. I then decided to split the lesson into 2, but final compose it as one video in Premiere Pro 7.0. Since the lesson was broken up into 2 screen captured videos, I thought it would make things easier if each screen captured video was in its own simulation. So, in other words, I have created 2 simulations in one project, and then I had nested both of them into the 3rd simulation. For example, simulation 1 was called lesson1 part a, and simulation 2 was named lesson1 part b, and the third simulation was called lesson1. Once I had everything setup, at first everything was working fine, meaing I could see the video and hear the sound tracks. However, after I choose to render the sequence using Microsoft DV11 AVI, I do not get any sound, and yet I made sure that the exporter exports both the video and audio. Furthermore, after rendering the project, going back to Premiere Pro's project, and pressing play, I get the error.... Disk Write Error: Verify drive connection, available disk space and disk access privileges
However, when I go inside simulation 1 or simulation 2, I still hear their sound tracks. One other thing I have noticed is that I get the sound back in the project if I move the orginal simulations into a new simulation. By doing that, I am then able to recover the project,. but if I choose to render again, the same process happens all over again.
Does anyone Have any ideas?

so are you saying that the problem could be comming from how I did my recording with CamStudio? Not to change the subject, but you see, I am kind of lost. My goal is to provide some free video lessons. I was thinking my final encoded videos will be in DivX or XVid. CamStudio does offer users to compress to thise types of format. Howeveer, due to owning a very cheap microphone, those kinds that sit on your desktop, is causing me to have the biggest problem, since there is a good amount of background hissing noise in my recordings. So, I have been using both CamStudio for the screen capturing and Audacity to do the voice recording. Then in Audacity, I try my best of tuning up the voice and removing the background hissing noise. Once that is finished, I then need some sort of video editing software that allows me to put the video and my voice recodring together as well as splicing areas of the lesson where I stutter or slurr my speach a bit, which can be easily fixed in Adobe Premire Pro. However, my version of Premiere does not offer XVid or DivX encoding. I was thinking of using VirtualDub, but I really do not want to have 5 programs, just so that I can fix all of my problems, not to mention I have no $$$$ left. So is there a free better way?

After rendering, no sound

After rendering a 30 min clip with neat video, warp stabilizer and other small changes, there is no sound once video been produced by encoder. I also find that sequence won't even render on timeline but I do have sound.
What is the problem?
Thanks

I noticed a peculier thing after I updated After Effects. I tried to render it again but using a different file type: AVI. It rendered, just fine, sound and all... but it was 4 GB. Then I tried rendering at as a Quicktime: Photo - JPEG, with the same result as the very first time I tried it: no sound. But then I played it in Quicktime, instead of WMP 11, and it plays just find, sound and all. So I'm wondering why it would not play sound on my computer or Youtube, if its just a problem with the player. Any ideas?

Colors in an image comes out different after rendering comp

Hey guys, having an annoying problem.
For a project, I've imported a jpeg file that I made on Photoshop. The colors look perfectly fine on the RAM previews and stuff but after I render it, just that specific jpg image comes washed out. It should be dark grey / almost black but after rendering into .mov that image becomes medium grey. It's noticeably more washed out and lighter. All the other colors in that image are also noticeably lighter as well.
Any ideas whats going on? I have set my working space to my monitors color profile and I have proofed the colors after saving on Photoshop.
Thanks! This is driving me nuts!

I send the composition to the Render Queue and do it from there. I have my render settings to "Best", and output module to "Lossless".
Regarding the codec, I'm not sure about that. How can I find out? Sorry this is my first time really with AE.
EDIT: FIXED!
On the output module, I had it set to Quicktime before. I changed that to H.264 and the colors were fine after that. Whew!
Thanks for all your help Rick!

IPhoto image deleted after rendering

I've just upgraded to iMovie HD 6.03. I have the latest version of Quicktime installed and the latest version of OSX installed.
When importing a photo from iPhoto into iMovie - using the Ken Burns effect - the photo goes black after rendering. Non-Ken Burns version goes to iMovie trash.
I've deleted the preferences file, ran disk permissions utilities and it still doesn't work. I get no errors related to graphics cards. This capability worked fine in prior versions of iMovie.
Any additional suggestions?
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8) 768MB SDRAM

It's a bug. As you say, when we import a photo with the Ken Burn checkbox ON, iMovie puts its copy of the source image in the iMovie Trash. If we empty the Trash the image is discarded, making it impossible to Update the clip later.

Quicktime screencast is not displaying my iphone

I have an iPhone5s that was working great with Quicktime screencast w lightening cable.
But now the screencast shows iphone as an option in new movie recording, but doesnt show the iphone screen. It remains a small black box.
The iphone is recognized by the computer, iphoto and imagecapture. I do notice that the iphone in iphoto is iphone(7) but in quicktime is iphone(3)
i think it started having issues after i installed the ios8.2 update on my iphone5s
As a trial i tried another iphone6 and it screencast perfectly fine.
any tips would be greatly appreciated.

I have had this happen when I allow the iPhone 5s to "go to sleep" before starting/finishing the QT X "Movie Recording" set-up. In my case, I simply complete the set-up selections (app normally defaults to FaceTime camera when iPhone falls to sleep) in the "small black window" and then "wake up" the iPhone and sign in again to "re-fresh" the iPhone recording window. Check to see if this is what is happening in your case.

VIDEO/LIVE TV Playback stuttery/jumpy after 20min on WMC, Win 7, Touchsmart 600-1070a

A few weeks ago the playback of either recorded or live TV on my Windows Media Centre in Windows 7 on my HP Touchsmart 600-1070a PC started becoming jumpy after about 20 or so minutes of viewing. I turn WMC off and back on, but it still lags about 20 frames behind the audio playback, which interestingly is still smooth and even. I initiated a complete system restore back to factory settings which I thought might fix the problem. Unfortunately the problem is still occuring. Just this morning though, I received a message on my desktop saying: "Display Driver Stopped Responding and Has Recovered. NVIDIA Windows Kernal Mode Driver Ver 186-60 stopped responding and has successfully recovered." Could this be the problem? I have run HP diagnostics, and there are no errors appearing, although there really should be at least some indication as to why the image begins to lag behind the audio. Also, my digital TV signal could not finish as it could not receive a channel. My digital antenna was working fine until a few weeks ago when this stuttering appeared. Interestingly, watching a movie online also gives me a jumpy, stuttery playback after about 20 minutes. Can anyone help? Many thanks, Olga

Hello Varonte
Are you running Windows 7 32bit or 64bit? Have you tried updating or downgrading your video card drivers? Based on your first post it sounds like a driver issue. Since your video card driver is reporting that it is crashing is one symptom and the delay in video and not audio also indicates it may be video driver related.

Hello raysananto
Do you have Windows 7 32bit/64bit? I would suggest updating your video card drivers as well. As I stated above the problem sounds like a driver issue.
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" to those that help solve your problems.

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

QuickTime Screen Recordings are H.264 video files. You need to convert this to +QuickTime Apple Intermediate Codec+ in order to use it in FCE. MPEG Streamclip (free) can do this for you.

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!

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.

How do I stop Quicktime player from auto-launching after I've exported a movie from iMovie 10?

How do I stop Quicktime player from auto-launching after I've exported a movie from iMovie 10?
It's really annoying for Quicktime player to auto-lauch!

It may not be that simple David. They're using a "server" and some of the Apache software may want to launch QuickTime at boot.
This isn't really a QuickTime question. It's a sever question best answered in those Discussion pages.

Hi
You can try and use guard conditions or check the table for data, if there is no data in the table the application will return an error message.

Preview, QuickTime, Image Capture crash?

I have a strange problem since the upgrade to Mavericks.
Preview, QuickTime, Image Capture apps simply don't work. Their icons appear in the dock for a brief second and disappear. No error message...
Any idea what's happening? Is there any way to reinstall only these apps?

I have a few wedding projects(1-2 hours)I am trying to export at full hd quality,than burn in idvd. After rendering for 8hrs I receive error code that states "file is too big". Please help? compressing tips without losing quality? or any other exporting alternatives?

Hey Z,
Thank you for the tip on exporting by media browser (large) from imovie. But of course, if it's not one thing it's another. Now that I figured how to export a large file from imovie, I have an idvd issue. I followed the instructions for burning from idvd and changing the encoding to professional quality and the burn speed to x4, but I am receiving an error that states the following,
Your project exceeds the maximum content duration. To burn your DVD, change the encoder setting in the Project Info window.
Project:
- total project duration: 79:04 minutes
- total project capacity: 4.327 GB (max. available: 4.172 GB)
Menus:
- number of menus in project: 1 menus
- total menu duration: 0:39 minutes
- total menu capacity: 37.370 MB
Movies:
- total movies duration: 78:25 minutes
- total movies capacity: 4.291 GB
I have searched in the idvd forum for similar issues and I am stumped at this point. I have tried deleting the encoding assets and re launching idvd with the changed preferences, and still the same error. I know you mentioned something about free hard drive space available, and I have very little left. 4GB to be exact due to massive hours of non-edited footage. I am not sure if this is why, but I do not recall ever needing free space to burn memory onto a separate dvd. I would be more than happy if I am wrong, and it would be a quick fix. Otherwise, the technical nightmare continues. It's all a learning process and your expertise is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
