Recommendation for Moving Screen Caps

I'm looking for a program that will do screen capture movies.
Snapz Pro seems like it will do what I want but I wanted to see if there was anything else somebody thought was AWESOME before I shell out my hard earned $$$.

I've use a program called Hypercam http://www.hyperionics.com/hc/ before on a PC and it worked great. I think it was cheaper than Snapz Pro, but I don't know which one is better since I haven't used the other one. Larry Jordan uses Snapz Pro for Lynda.com movies so it must be good!

  • Latest recommendation for custom screen development?

    easy points here  - get 'em while their hot!  : )
    I'm trying to confirm my thoughts/assumptions on the development of custom screens.  We are installing the various pieces of NW04s and expect the majority of our users to access ECC transactions through the SAP Portal (using Web GUI for HTML).  Also, we will have a significant number of custom screen requirements; some may be enhancements to existing SAP delivered screens; others may be new screen development.
    What is SAP's latest recommendation for custom screen development?
    More specifically, what are various options and their advantages and disadvantages?
    For example:
    **Web Dynpro for Java
    + easy Portal integration
    - requires NW Dev Studio/Infrastructure
    **Web Dynpro for Java
    + Development tools within Workbench
    - more difficult to integrate in the Portal
    **Z transaction development with Screen Painter
    **HTML/JavaScript or similar
    etc....
    Thanks,
    Brian

    Brian,
    For me , I have only two choices
    1. Web Dynpro for Java
             Great front end IDE to work with, only issue could be the performance issue, while Java is trying to communicate with SAP ECC.
    2. Web Dynpro for ABAP
              Relatively new, however a good tool to work with. Performance improvement compared to Java Web Dynpro.
    I don't think you should have a concern of integrating this with Portal, as you have a separate iView for ABA Web Dynpro. The screen can be developed on the SAP ECC and then can be called from the Portal screen.
    You still have other options like developing normal dynpro - but that will not give a look and feel of the web interface. BSP / PCUI are the other choices but given the roadmap of SAP for UI, I would stick to Web Dynpro for ABAP / Java.
    Please let me know if you have any questions.
    Regards,
    Ravi

  • Recommendations for iPhone Screen Protector

    I have purchased both kinds you can get at the apple store and I just purchased another set at the AT&T. The ones at Apple are okay, but still impossible to put on without having air bubbles and the ones at AT&T are just cheap. With that being said, does anyone have any recommendations on the best screen protector you can buy. Call me a perfectionist, but I don't want ANY air bubbles and I want a screen protector that lasts longer than just a few months.
    Thanks!

    The best one I've found is offered by 3M. It's a screen protector that has a special coating that makes it hard to read from any angle except straight on - great for prying eyes! Very durable protector, and applied easily with no bubbles. I highly recommend it! I ordered it direct from 3M, just Google it and it'll come up.
    Good luck!

  • FMEL - What Screen Cap Program Can Capture in Fullscreen for Fullscreen Applications?

    I have tried 6 screen cap programs: VH, Uscreen, CamStudio, UltraVNC...etc, and none are able to capture any program that I use in fullscreen, whether it is a 3D game or a fullscreen slideshow.
    Does anyone know of a (preferably free) screen capture program that works for Windows 7 and can capture 3D fullscreen applications? If there is nothing for free, then any premium recommendations would be appreciated.
    I just could not find a program that worked, so I am just wondering if there is a tried and proven program out there.
    Thanks!

    I believe there is only one program (besides getting a capture card) that does this, it does however cost money (It's called DXtory, not sure on it's reliability as I have never used it myself.. It may also not work with everything..
    Only way of doing this guaranteed to work is through capture cards, but if you want decent resolutions with that then you gotta be prepared to shell out quite a bit of money unfortunately.
    edit: let me add, I have not used dxtory so I can not tell you how/if this would work with FME for example, but I have heard from other people that dxtory would be an alternative for fullscreen.. however that program also has the ability to record to harddrive and I am unsure if that's the only way (like fraps) or if it can output to a virtual webcam as well... I just don't know...
    edit2: ok seems like there is a trial for the program, and it also does allow you to output it into a virtual webcam (trial has a watermark) so you Can use it for FME.. You should check it out, it costs 3600 yen so that's like $45

  • Placing Images (Screen Caps) for Callouts - Best Practice?

    Illustrator CS6, Windows 7
    I'm placing screen captures (screen images from software) in my artwork files to add callouts and create illustrations for a user manual.
    The machine I'm capturing on has a screen resolution set at 1920 x 1080 (required for software). I'm using Snagit and capturing the screens, saving files, then placing in Illustrator. I've been using images minimum 300 dpi and never upsizing in Illustrator. Still I think my results could be better.
    In the past I've used .jpg as my export filetype for placing into Illustrator. But, recent reads of postings in this community lead me to believe my practice might be flawed.
    Question: What is considered best practice for placing images from screen capture (or any source) in Illustrator? What file type from capture will get me the clearest and most adaptable results?
    My Illustrator file color mode is CMYK and my other art and callouts supporting the screen cap are working great.
    I'm creating the artwork for import to Framemaker and creating a PDF for online and print.

    What I mean is; what is the user looking at, and what are you training on?
    For example, if the application involves medical imaging, and part of your documentation covers something like evaluating medical images in the application, that would probably be a far more color-critical scenario than an application in which the user just views and manipulates data.
    Generally, you don't need anything like 300 PPI for screen captures in software documentation. The whole intent is for the image to look like the screen you are documenting, which is something like 72 or 96 PPI at actual size. You might downscale a screen capture as much as 50%, but at that size, the reader is viewing the application's text (including menus,  etc.) at half the size as viewed in the application, which is assumed to be sized for comfortable reading. Sharpness is good. You don't want the images to become blurred in pursuit of completely needless "resolution."
    Also generally speaking, software screenshots are not usually color-critical. Placing (even pasting from SnagIt) directly into the page layout app is usually just fine. PostScript knows how to separate RGB images. Such things have been done since long before anyone sweated blood over "color management." Assuming your application interface is not using garish color (which would be poor interface design; it's tiring), I dare say the conversion of RGB screenshots to CMYK at the imagesetter or press would be fine.
    How is the manual going to be printed? Unless you're talking about a large press runs, nowadays software documentation (subject to frequent updates) is often printed on on-demand presses (think glorified digital color copiers), not sheetfed presses. With software documentation, you're not usually talking coffee-table collector's books. (The exception would be something like a book on color-correction in Photoshop; thus my first question.)
    I routinely paste screenshots from SnagIt directly into InDesign pages to document software applications, and add the callouts in InDesign. Only when I need some special graphics (swooping arrows, etc.) do I assemble the callouts to the screenshots in Illustrator; and even when I do that, I also typically paste the SnagIt captures directly in to AI.
    Keeping your callouts native to the page layout program also better facilitates language translation, when you have to outsource that.

  • Can anyone recommend a process for moving just my OS and Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom to the SSD?

    I have an early 2011 MBP running Mountain Lion. I just removed the superdrive and added an SSD. I want to use it to boot from and also run Photoshop and Lightroom from. Can anyone recommend a process for moving my OS and those programs to the SSD?

    I'm assuming your doing this because of data you don't want pernament on the SSD as they can' be scrubbed like hard drives can.
    Disconnect any other drives.
    1: Format the SSD 1 partition, click the box, option GUID and OS X extended journaled as the format.
    2: Download Carbon Copy Cloner.
    3: Clone your MacintoshHD partition to a blank powered external drive also formatted the same as above.
    4: Hold option/alt key and boot the machine (wired or built in keyboard) and then select the clone to boot from,
    5: Once in the clone, click it's drive name and change the name if it's the same as the OS X boot volume.
    6: On the clone, head to System Preferences > Accounts and create a new Admin account.
    7: If you need to move files between accounts on the clone, see this. Combine two+ Users Accounts on the same machine   (be careful that your selecting the correct clones other account)
    8: Once your moving files on the clone is complete, then log into the new user account and delete the old user account.
    9: Use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the clone to the SSD.
    10: Use Disk Utiltiy to repair permissions on all drives.
    The SSD should be moved to the HD slot and the HD to the optical slot and used as a file drive.
    CCC has a option to not include certain folders like the other user account you don't want, however I tend not to recommend things that are not too far out of line with Apple's ways of doing things as it usually results in bad things occuring. Somewhere in OS X it's recorded of that other user account, so it might still show up in logins and such.
    Also you may want to transfer some files to the other account, so that's why I recommend this method.
    Good Luck

  • Screen cap serial number for rebate form

    Hello,
    I want to claim the rebate for having Avid Liquid Edition and buying Premiere Pro CS3. The form asks for "a screen shot showing the Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 serial number and your name".
    Help - About doesn't seem to show this. Where else do I look? I unlocked the trial, but it is fully licensed and have receipts to prove it.
    Thanks,
    Sean

    Oh, it is legit. Even the Adobe sales guy on the telephone mentioned it. Liquid Edition isn't really Vista compatible yet and it has some issues with the DX10 graphics cards, so Adobe is taking advantage of this to lure users to Premiere.

    I've got all the other parts together, but cannot find anywhere where my license number is displayed, let alone with my name. Maybe I'll have to call them.

  • Screen-caps - A Photoshop Workflow

    Users often ask how to do screen-caps, to show what is happening with their program. Below are possible workflows for creating the screen-caps, and then there are instructions on how to "attach" the screen-caps to a Reply in the Adobe Forums, but only if one is accessing them via a Web browser - with e-mail access, you cannot attach a screen-cap, or other image file. There are first several utilities that will help you do this, but I will outline the steps using Adobe Photoshop and the Windows Clipboard. One can substitute their image editing program of choice, such as Photoshop Elements, PaintShop Pro, or other.
    Windows has a Clipboard feature, and one can use the Print Screen key (often seen as Prt Sc, etc., and depending on their computer, might have to also use a modifier key, such as the Ctrl key).
    First, set up your program, so that the necessary items are shown. This might be zooming in on the Timeline, even expanding it vertically, moving the CTI (Current Time Indicator with the red Edit Line attached), and perhaps selecting a problem Clip. Often, the Program Monitor will also need to be seen, and perhaps the Project Panel showing the proper Asset, or maybe the Effects Control Panel. Get these setup, so that they are visible, and where you want them. Now, hit the Print Screen key (see above for comments). The screen will now be an image in Clipboard.
    Open your image editing program. Here, I’m using Photoshop. Create a New Image. Photoshop will first look in the Clipboard, and if there is an image there, will even set up your New Image to match that w/ the proper pixel x pixel size. Here, I name that New Image with a name that means something to me, like, “PrE_Audio_Mixer_01.” I use the underscore, in lieu of spaces, as the forum software sometimes has problems with file names containing spaces. Yes, I know that this is so Windows 98, but it works well for me.
    Hit Ctrl+V to Paste the image from the Clipboard into this New Image. If my full screen-cap has captured more image area, than I need, I Crop to the important parts.
    Next, if I need to do call outs, or annotate the image, I use the Text Too, and maybe will draw boxes, or circles, to make sure that the viewer knows exactly where I want them to look and what to look for. To draw arrows, or lines, I use the Shape Tool, and/or the Pen Tool, and Stroke, or Fill these Paths, as is necessary.
    At this point, I have a Layered file with drawings and text, overlaying my screen image. I will do a Save_As and choose .PSD to keep my Layers handy for any additional editing, if necessary. The one problem is that the Adobe forum will NOT attach a .PSD file. Here, one has several choices. One is to do a Save_for_Web, and let PS Flatten the Layers, and merge them into one Layer. That will also remove any Alpha Channels, and/or Paths. Two popular formats are .PNG, or JPEG, and Save_for_Web allows for either of these. The choice is yours, but I normally just use JPEG with a Quality of about 9, in Photoshop to compress the image, but still leave it sharp enough for others to read. Again, PNG is a good choice as well, and will yield slightly better quality for the file size. Only possible issue is that many older browsers (what the viewers will be using to view the screen-cap) do not handle PNG. All newer browsers do, and do so very well. I have begun using PNG, instead of any compression of JPEG, and the results are better, and sharper.
    With the screen-cap image Saved to our HDD, I use the little “camera” icon, in the lower-middle of the Adobe Forum editing screen’s Toolbar, to actually attach the image:
    Here is an example of a screen-cap with the program setup as I needed, call outs and annotations:
    Hope that this helps. Note: other image editing programs will differ, as will various screen-cap utilities.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

    Neale,
    Thanks for that. I had never used Alt+Prt Scr on my Sager, and did not know of the specifics of that modifier key. On my laptop, I need to do Ctrl+Prt Scr, rather than the more common Prt Scr (no modifier key), but that is fairly specific to my Sager on the Clevo MoBo, with its keyboard. On many computers, just plain Prt Scr is all that's needed.
    I'll experiment with Alt+Prt Scr, as that might actually save me a Crop in PS, when doing a screen-cap.
    Thanks,
    Hunt

  • TV Recommendation For Bright Living Room

    Despite my wife's displeasure with my pursuit of another television, I need a recommendation for one 65" or larger that would work for my living room that has several windows.  The 65" Panasonic Plasma I currently have works great during hours of darkness, but during the day all I see are reflections.  I plan on moving that one into my bedroom.  Any thoughts?

    I have a 46" Sony LED TV located in my bright living room. There are many windows on 2 opposite walls that face NE and SW, with lots of sunlight. But the light never reflects on the screen. Even at night, when the overhead light is on in the nearby dining room. That light doesn't reflect in the screen, or have any type of negative impact on the picture.
    I previously had an old Tube Type Sony TV in the same location. Which was not worth watching during daylight hours because of too much light being reflected on the screen.  
    For a bright room. LED is probably your best bet.  
    Good Luck  

  • ****PLEASE HELP ME SOMEONE**** PLEASE - Re: ON SCREEN CAPS LOCK INDICATOR

    can someone please help me before i pull all of my hair out.
    i have windows vista - 64 bit - the HP IQ500 touchsmart with a wireless keyboard.
    in the systray the num caps and scroll lock appears as little blue boxes (when on).
    everynow and again they simply disapper.
    i researced how to activate them again but cant remember how to do it.
    there is a way without having to mess with the registry and without downloading any program
    i just cant remember how. i know wherever it is...you ultimately get 3 boxes that you can check in order to turn the options back on.
    i am not talking about toggling, or sound, or mscofig and then boot.
    does anyone know the steps to turn the caps scroll and num lock indicator in teh sys tray back on
    oh, and right clicking on the toolbar and going to the notificiation area is not what i am referring to either.
    I checked in the control panel programs and the hp on screen caps lock indicator etc program is there.
    I reinstalled it nonetheless and confirmed it is installed properly
    When I right click on the notification area I do to properties/notification area/customize
    There are two lists there
    1. Current Items and
    2. Past Items
    For some reason I see caps lock - scroll lock and num lock under the past items
    There you are also able to change the status of the items to either Hide wne active, hide or show
    All three (caps/num/scroll) are SHOW
    I click apply OK then apply
    I restart the computer and nothing. The on screen caps lock indicator is still not in the notification area/systray area
    I repeat teh steps to ensure that the three have the SHOW option chosen and they are.
    So....
    Program is installed
    Items are check for SHOW
    Restart was done
    Ohhh and also...I went to MSCONFIG and made sure that the HP Keyboard Program was selected/check mark as one of the start up programs.
    There in a run command to activiate the 3rd party program (hp onscreen indicator program)
    When you enter the run command that I cant remember...you then get this option where there are three check boxes...one next to num lock - one next to caps lock and one for scroll lock.
    Once you check/select the boxes/options you want...presto they appear in the sys tray/notification area.
    I just cant remember the run command it to save my life.
    Please....put my mind to ease...cause I am losing it!
    I just cant seem to "walk away"...must be my OCD :-(
    Thanks

    NO.
    We are all iPhone users just like you.
    Apple has no blacklist.
    You can contact your carrier and see if they offer such a service.
    You cannot block it at all.

  • MOV to Screen Caps??

    Is there a way that I can use QTP to produce screen caps (jpg, png or whatever image format) of a .mov file? Every so many frames. Or is there another program that will do a better job of this?
    Thanks for any help

    Thanks Colin, but under "Export Image Sequence Settings" I don't see "fractional frame rate" just "Frames per second". Where do I find that setting?
    Actually, Tony was referring to how you enter the frame rate itself here. Instead of entering whole numbers (e.g., 1, 3, 5, 7, 9. etc.), enter a fractional number as in his example (e.g., 0.1, 0.5, 0.25, 0.01, etc.). Just tested it on a 139.87 sec files. It produced 14 stills in the format I selected.
    Nice trick, Tony. Will have to remember this one.

  • Screen Caps from tablet

    I'm trying to make a stop motion educational white board video. We tried with the phone and iPad and there were too many shadows and bad lighting. So I wanted to try using the Wacom tablet (which I can trace drawings) and using screen caps. But  of course I want the pictures to be full screen or I want a partial screen cap because I don't want to edit 1000 photos. I could use the iPad and the bamboo paper app- am I missing any other options or ways to make this easier?

    Neale,

  • My recommendations for edits to the Thunderbird "Profiles" section: "Restoring".

    Dear Thunderbird "Help" team:
    My recommendations for edits to the Thunderbird "Profiles" section:
    Things that are not clear, on the page of Thunderbird "...Restoring to a different location..."
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb#w_restoring-to-a-different-location .
    and...
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb
    A.a) Existing: "...Each profile is stored on your hard drive in a profile folder. The folder is named using the following convention:
    <random_string>.<profile_name>
    ...where "<random_string>" is eight digits randomly generated by Thunderbird and "<profile_name>" is the name you assigned to the profile. ..."
    A.b) Please replace "digits" with "characters". In common US English, digits are numerical, 0 to 9. (You have it right, in the later paragraph: "Restoring a profile backup". )
    B) At "Moving a profile", it is not clear the difference between that and "Restoring to a different location". Please split the two cases, so that each one is complete unto itself. Write separate instruction sets (there is no advantage to economy of words, in a webpage like this.)
    B.a) Explain first how to find the file "profiles.ini", by using the Windows Explorer window.
    B.b) Recommend that the user first make a backup copy of that file "profiles.ini", in case the work does not succeed, so that the messed-up file can be replaced with the original.
    B.c) In the descriptors of "Moving a profile", for the actions to be taken, it is not clear whether each step is... at the location of the backup, or... at the location for the desired new installation. Especially uncertain for Step 3 and Step 4.
    B.d) In Step 5, give a better explanation for the path options: - relative or non-relative. How does the user know if the path option has been switched?
    Marian Beddill

    You spoke to my first item - "digits".
    But my BIG problem is the second one. -- "Moving a profile".
    I cannot understand the instructions. (*)
    The reason, is that it tries to cover TWO CASES/SITUATIONS , jumbled into ONE instruction set.
    My request to Mozilla, is to split those instructions into TWO (or more) distinct and separate instruction sets, but with each set dealing ONLY with one case.
    Write one set for "Moving a profile".
    Write one set for "Restoring to a different location".
    This way, the user does not have to try to interpret the "if"-descriptors, while in the middle of trying to accomplish the task at hand.
    Doing as I ask, makes for more words, and a longer page. But there is no cost for length of a page, and a great advantage to the user, since the steps to be followed for each case are distinct and are not ambiguous. Do not have any "If-this" detours in the sequence of operations.
    (*) PS: I am not dumb on programming. I have been writing code since 1966, and have taught programming in several other nations.
    (**) PPS: I still have not been able to move ("replicate") my old profile and message files, from the external backup copy, into the new, clean machine, so that I may continue corresponding from where I left off, when the motherboard crashed.

  • Monitor Recommendations for Use with Captivate

    Anyone have any monitor recommendations for use with Captivate? Size and resolution?

    The formal adobe  recommendation is as posted 1024x768 is fine.
    But, monitors are not that expensive, so for productivity and better work environment I recommend at least one wide screen 22" with resolution  1600X1200 or more  and that supports 1080 for video.
    You need the  wide screen ( or  two monitors) so you can work with all the tools in one view.
