QuickTime X and Screen Recording -- Completely "Inverse Colors"

I tried a screen recording using Snow Leopard. The colors are completely "inversed", in recorded movie --almost comic book like.
Playback using QuickTimeX is fine, but this seems to be a really weird bug!
Anybody else see this?

I have the same problem, don't know how to fix it. I also have a similar problem with the sidebar in Mail.app: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10240165#10240165
Has anyone reported this to Apple yet? I'd like to send some feedback but I can't find where.

  • QuickTime Player - Partial Screen Recording?

    Hello everyone,
    My idea was to use AppleScript to:
    - Launch Quicktime Player
    -- Start Screen Recording
    -- Check that 'Show Mouse Click in Recording' is marked
    -- Click 'Record' button
    --- Let user drag his desired portion of the screen
    --- Start record
    --- Stop record
    -- Save movie
    - Close QuickTime Player
    So far I only got to the point where the user needs to 'drag his desired portion of the screen'.
    But I also have a problem detecting that 'Show Mouse Click in Recording' is checked or not.
    I can click it, but if it's already checked - it'll just go off. The problem is that it's not really a checkbox element rather a menu item.
    Is there a way around it?
    Also, and more important, how can I tell when the user finished his recording I.e. clicks the 'Stop' button so the script
    can move on to saving that file.
    Here is what I got so far (pretty basic):
    tell application "QuickTime Player"
    activate
    end tell
    tell application "System Events"
              tell process "QuickTime Player"
                        click menu item "New Screen Recording" of menu "File" of menu bar 1
                        click menu button of window "Screen Recording"
                        click menu item "Show Mouse Clicks in Recording" of menu 1 of menu button 1 of window "Screen Recording"
                        click button 1 of window "Screen Recording"
              end tell
    end tell
    So, am I crazy or is it possible?
    I am pretty new to AppleScript, if there is a different, better way to do it, I would love to know.
    Thanks!
    Mac OSX 10.8.5
    QuickTime Player 10.2

    I don't know much about QuickTime Player. Nevertheless, maybe the following script, tested with QuickTime Player 10.3 under OS X 10.9.1, can help you.
    tell application "QuickTime Player"
        set theDocument to new screen recording
        activate
    end tell
    tell application "System Events"
        tell process "QuickTime Player"
            tell menu button 1 of window "Screen Recording"
                click
                tell menu item "Show Mouse Clicks in Recording" of menu 1
                    if value of attribute "AXMenuItemMarkChar" is missing value then
                        click
                    else
                        keystroke return
                    end if
                end tell
            end tell
            click button 1 of window "Screen Recording"
            repeat until exists menu bar item 1 of menu bar 2
                delay 1
            end repeat
            repeat while exists menu bar item 1 of menu bar 2
                delay 1
            end repeat
            repeat until exists window "Untitled"
                delay 1
            end repeat
            click menu item "Save…" of menu 1 of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1
        end tell
    end tell

  • Quicktime Player 10 - Screen Recording

    When I am in a screen recording I don't see the "stop recording" option in my menu bar. The only way to stop the recording is the keystroke method. This is ok for me, but not so much for students. Is there a preference to make this option viewable?

    Im guessing this feature was taken out. I can zoom around while in the actual operating system. But when entering quicktime and screen recording I can zoom. But once the video is finished and played back, the zoom spots I did are not on the recording. Im guessing most likely ill have to get a paid verison of Screen recroding software if I want this done? Thanks for the response !

  • Quicktime Pro 7: Screen Recording is missing

    Hello
    I downloaded Quicktime Pro 7 to be able to record my screen.
    The problem: there is no function "New Screen Recording" appearing!
    There are only these functions:
    New Player
    New Movie Recording
    New Audio Recording
    New Screen Recording ist missing!
    What can I do?
    Thx for help
    Christine

    Wait what do you mean Q T 7 whats that
    Classic version of QT based on a 32-bit structure embedded in the operating system as opposed to Apple's completely re-written version of QuickTime now under development using 64-bit embedded structures compatible with QT X Players v10.0, 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 on a Mac. Both players can be installed on and used by Snow Leopard and later operating systems which have dual QT structures embedded within Mac OS X. However, only the QT 7 player can be keyed for QT 7 "Pro" use and is the player about which the original poster here was asking.

  • Quicktime for full screen recording

    Is there anyway I can do full screen recording using Quicktime. I can't seem to get it working when in full screen mode. Is there any keystrokes that I can use while in full screen mode?

    What I meant was if I am playing a youtube video in full screen mode how do I capture that?
    Update : OK I think I have this licked. I just click on the record button, click on the existing screen and then swipe to another space where the full screen video is playing. Cool.

  • QuickTime Player: New Screen Recording question

    When creating a New Screen Recording, it is possible to only record the audio coming from the speakers and NOT record the audio in the room where the macbook is sitting?

    Soundflower allows you to route system audio into an application.
    Install Soundflower-- http://cycling74.com/products/soundflower/ (instructions for use) and http://code.google.com/p/soundflower/downloads/list (application)-- to add system audio (core audio) inputs to the line-in and microphone options already present in QuickTime Player (i.e., QuickTime 10).   Once it's installed,
    1. System Preferences > Sound > Output.  Select Soundflower (2ch).
    2. Open QT and begin a New Screen Recording.  In the Screen Recording window, click the dialogue triangle on the right.  Under Microphone, select Soundflower (2ch).
    3. Begin your screen recording.
    Note, however, that you won't be able to hear system audio while using Soundflower as a QT input--the audio that was going to your speakers is now going into QT instead.  When you finish your recording, go back to System Preferences > Sound > Output to route the audio back to Internal Speakers or your usual default audio output.

  • Can a Single Window be Chosen for QuickTime X's Screen Recording (Newbie)?

    QuickTime X Mavens,
    Is it possible to use *QuickTime X's* fabulous +Screen Recording+ capability to record a single, selected window (e.g., a Keynote window)?
    **Or...is there a plug-in for this purpose?
    Many thanks from this newbie.
    +Plane Wryter+

    Nope.
    Whole screen or nothing with QuickTime X.

  • Quicktime's new screen recording feature

    I need the Quicktime screen recording feature for a work project.  My Macbook Pro (os 10.7) has it but the iMac at work (os 10.2) does not.  It's not clear if Quicktime Pro for Mac does.  I have already purchased Quicktime Pro for my work pc only to find that the feature is not available.
    My question is, if I buy the os upgrade to 10.8 for the iMac, will this Quicktime feature work?

  • Restore doesn't work, and screen is completely blank.  Help?

    Hi all,
    I bought my iPod second-hand through Future Shop - a nation-wide electronics chain. It had been returned in less than 30 days after being purchased (the new iPod Videos had just come out). I foolishly did not purchase an extended product protection plan. What, I thought to myself, could possibly go wrong with this electronic gadget?
    I shouldn't have tempted fate, I suppose.
    Since purchasing it, I have had to restore it 4 times after a freeze. It has become increasingly difficult to restore it, or even have the computer recognise it for restoration, as time progresses.
    At present, the screen is completely black, post-freeze. I have tried the "5 Rs", and various other iPod support documents. (I'd link them, but I can never find the same one twice. Maybe this is a good thing? I cannot use the Restore function because it does not recognise that I have an iPod connected to the computer, even though I have plugged it into various USB ports.
    I have heard about letting the battery drain and then attempting a restore. Can anyone explain the reasoning behind this to me?
    I do not know what to do. At this point, I just want to get rid of my iPod - and I haven't even finished uploading my music library to it - because of all the trouble it has caused me.
    Does anyone have any new/different suggestions? Even links to help pages? Do you know if this is covered by the Apple warranty? I don't want to pay for Apple to tell me this isn't covered.
    If you have been in the same situation, I would really appreciate hearing what steps you took.
    Thank you!

    Does your computer at present recognize the IPOD when it it connected?

  • Quicktime X and After Effects CS4 - Unwanted Color / Gamma shift

    Hello,
    Upon the import of ANY video footage file into After Effects CS4, there is an immediate color (I am guessing a gamma shift) difference between how the video appears in Quicktime (both X and the older player) and how it appear in the After Effects composition window.
    Footage appears to be darker in AE and lighter in quicktime, both before and after export. The gamma/color then appears roughly the same when being compressed via h.264 and uploaded to the web (the same in Safari, much darker via Firefox).
    My main concern is simply getting AE's color to match Quicktime's so that I can have as close of a match between the color I think I have created in AE, and the actual color that appears in my final output to the web.
    I have tried using all of the fixes to be found relating to gamma shifts via .h264, prores, etc. but nobody seems to have this problem with every codec, even animation. I have tried assigning color profiles in AE, matching quicktime legacy formats, etc. All of the options available in AE to no avail.
    My monitor is calibrated fine, I am using Perian, All of the latest software updates. Any advice much appreciated!

    Hi, thanks for the link. While helpful I am still having problems!
    I tried using the method described with Automator to assign a color profile to a test Animation file, created from scratch in AE and rendered out as an Animation with no color management (previously it made no difference to the quicktime gamma shift as to if I had assigned a working color space or not within AE).
    Automator only gives three color profile options, HD, SD, or PAL. I tried using HD as this is the size of video I normally work in (although I am also working in PAL), and ran Automator. I also tried using PAL and got identical results. It took about 30 seconds to finish and the result indeed looked much better in QT, and opened up in AE looking identical to a copy of the same .mov file with no color correction.
    However, there is *still some change in the image quality as it appears in QT from how it (and the original) appears in AE*.
    Original created / displayed in AE: What I am trying to maintain
    Rendered out, Automator color profile HD assigned, and opened in QT: Gamma looks good but colors slightly more saturated than original in AE.
    Rendered out with no color profile: Original problem with large gamma shift making everything bleached/washed out.
    I have a screen shot I can show you to illustrate this here:
    http://www.yousendit.com/download/THE0ek9xa0RxRTNIRGc9PQ
    While the difference is subtle you can look at the RGB numbers and see the middle example is indeed more saturated.
    Perhaps I need to use another color profile when working with the animation codec for animations created from scratch in AE to avoid this saturation shift, other than HD or PAL? Would you know of how to do this?
    Also, would you know of how to change this, and perhaps a way of changing qucktime's interpretation rules for all animation files per se, so that I do not need to go through every .mov with the animation codec and assign profiles to them?
    Many thanks for your time and sorry for being so long winded!

  • Quicktime X player screen recording

    Hi,
    I want to edit a screen/desktop recording done with Quicktime Player 10.0 with FCE 4.0.1. It doesn´t work. FCE fails to import the file. Quicktime says the file is H.264 encoded with a resolution of 1280x800. Does anybody has an solution for this?

    Hi,
    no I don't want to use another editing application. I mean, an Apple application should be able to import what another Apple application exports, especially when it is based on the same technology (quicktime). iMovie can import it, but it has to convert it to 720p HD and it takes ages. Perhaps it has something to do with the new quicktime on 10.6, which is not used by fce(?), but that is just a guesss.
    cheers,
    thomas

  • QuickTime 10.0 Screen Recording randomly skips parts of the recording?

    I'm using the QuickTime Player to record some gameplay on my computer and sometimes, randomly, it skips part of the video. Sometimes its just a minute or 2 and sometimes its 15 minutes. I don't know why or how this could possibly happens, but it does. I have 366GB of space on my computer left so space is not an issue. I don't know what is. Please help

    Bump. I'm having this trouble too, on both my iMac and my Macbook. I've tried every combination of events I can think of that might make this happen (switching windows, switching Spaces, etc. etc.), but the problem is so random and intermittent. Sometimes it records fine and I end up with a full recording, sometimes the middle is gone, sometimes just the end. The file size doesn't seem to matter; I have some good recordings that are nearly 500MB, and some that failed when they are only 30MB (and I have well over 300GB free). It's really annoying to not know until you've done 30 minutes of work that the middle is missing from the recording, and have no idea whatsoever even how to work around the issue.

  • How to join audio and screen recording

    I have recorded with both the screen capture and audio capture and now want to join / merge the files into one.  Does any one know how I can do this easily? What application would I need to use? CAn it be done with iMovies?  Thanks

    m2v files are usually used in DVD authoring. Is that what you are trying to create?
    If so, you'll want a AC3 or aiff file format for the audio and use DVD Studio Pro to merge the two into VOB files.
    If this isn't what you are trying to accomplish, please offer up more information.

  • Quicktime does not have new screen recording option

    What happened to Quicktime's new screen recording option?
    I wanted to record a video and now the only option I can see is the built-in camera of myself.
    I have Mac OSX 10.9.1 with the lastest updates.

    I was just about to write about that.  For some reason I went back to Qucktime and played the recording of myself
    and went to delete it. There in the list I saw "new screen recording"  I looked at the "about Quicktime player" and found that it was indeed 10.3  I am not sure what I deed to get that but there it is.
    Thx, for verifying .

  • Quicktime Screen Recording freezing in fullscreen recordings

    Hi
    I was trying to record in fullscreen of an application, namely a game, using Quicktime.
    The screen recording works fine when recording windows, but as soon as I open one in fullscreen, my mac freezes. Just a black screen, and none of the keys work, so I have to resort to rebooting.
    Is there a solution to this?
    Thank you in advance.

    That causes 'muddy' pics:
    FCPX is basically meant for video = standards, e.g. 1080 or 720 ...
    Screen-recordings, in 99% cases, are 'off'' those standard resolutions => 'un-even' scaling neccessary = loss of quality.
    (plus, the harm added, to playback those files again in some 'uneven' scaling...)
    best-practice:
    Use designated tools, as the widly recommended Screenfflow ...
    Plan B)
    … for the small budget:
    learn how to create FCPX with custom resolutions ...
