Recording Screen Activity As Video (Like a Grab, but in Video)?

I know this can be done, we see it in all of the software tutorials and all. I just want to record some video of my screen as I run through some tasks, without pointing a video camera at my screen. How do you do this, just like a Grab, but rather than a still image, a movie, maybe even with audio recording from my built-in mic.
Thanks.

There are Mac keyboard strokes to capture stills or vid.
I can't recall what they are. Pretty sure you can dig it up in the HELP list.
Some one may chime in the info. If I get a bit of spare time later I'll check it out.

App to record screen and capture video from camera at the same time?

For the love of God, why is it 2013 (the age of YouTube and such), and I can't find an app that lets me record my hdv camera (canon hv30) AND the computer screen at the same time? I make piano tutorials on YouTube and my current workflow is so horrendous that I havent even made a video in almost a year. What should take 30 minutes, takes 5 hours. Here is my current shi**y workflow.
1. I use iMovie Hd to capture hdv camera
2. I use QuickTime X to capture the screen (i record a virtual keyboard display that lights up the keys I am playing)
3. I have to use a DAW to record the piano sound and my voice since iMovie hd doesnt have the ability to record audio from a separate source than the camera, for some **** reason. (opening up and setting up all three programs takes about 8 minutes)
4. I press "record" on all three programs as quickly as possible to make syncing easier. (my videos are about 7 minutes long, so this part takes about 7 minutes)
5. After I record all 3 things, I export the video from iMovie into a friendlier format to edit in another video editor since iMovie doesmt have the ability to overlay the screencap over another video (****). (25 minutes)
6. I render the audio I recorded in the DAW into a wave file. (another 10 minutes)
7. I import the camera footage, the screen cap, and the audio file into the video editing program. (another 5-10 minutes)
8. I sync the audio and video clips since they were recorded separately (2 minutes)
9. I do all the edits (add intro, cut unwanted footage etc) (10 minutes)
10. I re-render the footage into a final video file. (about 30 minutes)
This is fu*****g ridiculous. There is no ONE program that does everything I need, just diferrent programs that have a feature I need, but is missing another. For example, a program called "screen flow" let's me record the screen, a camera, and an external audio source all at once, but for some frisking reason, it doesmt support "hdv" cameras (basically anything that records HD). Then, there are programs that record HD, but can't record the screen at the same time. This is only an issue since I am on a Mac, since apparently there are countless of programs that can do all the things I need at once (so I don't have to resync, and render things like 3 times each) and many of them are even free (such as xsplit) but they only work in Windows. For the love of God why? It's 2013 for christs sakes. It shoudnt take me 5 hours to make a 7 minute video. If it wasmt for this turn-off, I would have thousands of piano tutorials on yourtube already.
So my question. Is there an app that fixes my workflow and allows me to do all the things I need in one program? If there isn't such a program, why isn't there one?

maybe you have outgrown or just need to look at the "pro" applications instead.

How to capture screen activity? (screen&audio to video file)

Hello,
I have to capture video desktop activity (including audio) to a file using JMF. I spent hours and hours searching this... a have studied a lot of classes, examples BUT I don't know how to bind them... how to record the actvity. My project is to record screen activity, upload on a server and finally control my computer remotely from an applet (or from another java desktop application). I will use HTTP streaming (what I record I upload on a server, then stream it to the client)
Can someone show me some hints or code for modifying JVidCap example from Sun? Someone else on Sun forum said he could do it but did not say how...
I just want to modify the video capturing so that I get the screen actifity recorded. I read nearly all examples possible including Screen Grabber...
Please help me!
I also have those two classes to get the screen activity as datasource... from [Screen Grabber|http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/media/jmf/2.1.1/solutions/ScreenGrabber.html] example but I really don't understand how to implement them in my application because there is no method returning a datasource object... (or probably I don't know how to use them):
(DataSource and LiveStream class)
I hope someone can bind them or help me to go on on this project.... it is so important to me ...

Thanks A LOT for info. I really apprectiate it. This is my code... many mistakes I think... I have a NullPointerException. I renamed DataSource class to CDataSource and instead of line: "stream = streams[0] = new LiveStream(getLocator());" I passed the media locator:"stream = streams[0] = new LiveStream(ml);"

Can you tell me my mistakes please? Should I use Merge class? (from example). Is video datasource correct?

Why is it that I downloaded Firefox 4.0 but I do not have the orange firefox box in the upper left hand corner of screen. My screen still looks like the old verison of firefox. My screen does not look like the one in the video. looks nothing like the one

My Firefox 4.0 does not look anything like the videos you show about the features of the new Firefox. My screen looks totally different than yours. It does not have the orange box in the upper left hand corner of the screen. My screen still looks like the old version. I have the logo on the top of my screen with Ask a Question a vertical line Firefox Help - Mozilla Firefox.
Under this line I have File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. Below this line is a tab with Ask a Question Firefox Help and a +. My husbands screen looks identical to the orange Firefox Box in the upper left of screen. I would like my screen to look identical to the ones shown in your videos. I only have one version of Firefox 4.0 my husband does have the Firefox 4.0 plus the Beta version. How do I add the Beta version? I have Windows Vista running systems. Please help. Thank you

How to record screen video with sound but not playing while its recording

Hi, I'm trying to figure out a smart way to record some video lectures using my computer. I note that the Quicktime player is able to do that, but it confines your screen to a certain size so anything that falls into that screen capture zone will be recorded which is fine as i get a separate monitor soon so i can just chuck it one side to record while I'm doing other work.
But what im still trying to figure out is how the sound can also be simultaneously recorded by the software (be it Quicktime or not) and yet not be playing out loud on the speakers so i can do my work and not get distracted by that.
Any line-in or some clever way to do that?
Windows options also possible using parallels if anyone has a solution

Hey Jeffrey,
The easy solution to this is through the utilization of SoundFlower (Completely free).
Here are two tutorials that will guide you through the process of capturing your System's Sound as well as recording whatever is playing on the screen:
Soundflower Tutorial 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3M_IBA-xPCc
Soundflower Tutorial 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-5qxNeMl7E
I hope these tutorials help you out in solving your issue!
Enjoy.

Recording the screen with a video camera

Can someone help me be able to record everything on my screen to my video camera? Can I use a firewire to do so? Is there a specific application i require? What I DON'T want to do is record my screen straight to the computer (this will be processor/space intensive) plus I already know how to do that? Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the Forums!
I'm a little confused. You want to record your screen to your video camera? Point the camera at the screen and press record on the camcorder. Viola.
I suspect what you want to do is not that simple, but that's the answer to the question you asked
IF you have a recording device with a _video in_ (which is something that camcorders typically don't have!! - other than the lens, I mean...), you'd need to convert the video out - which is the DVI port.
So, if it were me, I'd use my DVI-to-video adapter, connect the DVI output to my DVR (the one on my TV), set the DVR to that input, and record that way.
Hope this helps...

When i select the "Full Screen" option in video streams (like youtube, veoh, anything like that) i can do that one(1) time second(2nd) time the screen goes blank and can only exit it with the escape(Esc) button and then i have to restart firefox and again i have my one "Full-screen Ticket"

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Accept tab not activated for characteristics in result recording screen

Hi,
'Accept and Reject tab' is active only for few characteristics in result recording screen.After entering all the inspection data's system is manually valuating each MIC.
Pls. help me on how to activate the 'Accept and Reject tab' in results recording.
Regards,
Shrini

Dear Gajesh,
Thanks for your prompt reply.
I have created a SAMPLING PROCEDURE --> QUAL-DMS.
IN ASSIGNMENTS,
Sampling type --> 300 -- USE SAMPLING SCHEME
Valuation mode --> 1000 - ATTRIBUTIVE INSPECTION NON CONFIRMING UNITS
(I have selected the system defined Sampling Scheme-> 252 ISO 2859-1 / Level II / multiple)
Sampling scheme   -->      252       ISO 2859-1 / Level II / multiple( SYSTEM DEFINED)
Determination rule    30        Use sampling scheme
Sampling scheme       252 ISO 2859-1 / Level II / multiple
Inspection severity --> 4   - Normal inspection
   AQL value      -->      15.000
THIS TABLE CONTAINS C1,D1;C2,D2;etc --> System Defined.
AS I have selected 252 - ISO 2859 -1/ Level II / multiple,
all values of the above sampling scheme must be copied.
It has calculated the sample size 40 for the sample lot 280 correctly
--> sample size is 8
5 samples are to be considered
5 x 8 = 40 samples --> System calculated the 40 samples correctly
SAMPLE LOT --> 280
SAMPLE SIZE --> 8
FIRST SAMPLE C1 --> 0 AND D1 --> 5;
SECOND SAMPLE C2 --> 3 AND D2 --> 8
THIRD SAMPLE C3--> 6 AND D3 --> 10
FOURTH SAMPLE C4 --> 9 AND D4 --> 12
FIFTH SAMPLE --> C5 12 AND D4 --> 13
I have not defined. I have selected the --> SAMPLING SCHEME 252,
I feel that all its value have to be copied.
Am I correct?
Please advice.
With Best Regards,

Hi I would like to know why I can not tilt the screen to watch videos on the music video

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

Displaying operation long text in results recording screen

Hi, all!
I am trying to understand why I cannot display the operation long text when in results recording screen (either QE51N or QE01 transaction will not support displaying of operation long text).
I have checked all areas that I could think of in config to see if there is a display setting that will require to be activated and I could not find anything under Results recording, Inspection planning or General settings. I also tried to see if user settings may be making a difference and it did not. The SAP Help portal when talking of long texts available in results recording lists the following: Long texts for inspection lot, inspection method and inspection charcateristic. Nothing about operation long text.
However, the text is printed on the inspection instruction standard form.
SAP Notes has nothing on the subject that I could find.
So, as a last resort, I would like to ask if any other Quality Management specialist came across this and spent any time in determining if this can be done and why the information would not be displayed standard in the transactions. My client would prefer not to have to print the instructions in order to see the entire text. However, I do not see any standard way to have it displayed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance!

Hi Senthil,
Don't know it will help or not. But if your MIC is qualitative then you can use the long text of catalog code in QS42.
Please refer below screen,
Click on the which help to maintain the long text.

Tabs Categorization, Partners etc. in Interaction Record screen in Web UI

Hi,
I'd like to know if it is possible to hide some of the tabs displayed from standard in the web UI screen of the Interaction Records.
From standard, for example, they're displayed the following information:
Overview
Categorization
Organizational Data
Partners
Follow Up
Actions
Notes
etc
I'd like to hide all but Overview.
If I access component ICCMP_BT_INR with transaction BSP_WD_CMPWB I see that there are some ViewSets which correspond to the tabs mentioned above. Is it possible to delete them after having enhanced the component ICCMP_BT_INR?
If yes, how?
Is there any other procedure to be followed?
Thanks in advance for your attention,
Best Regards,
Andrea Ricci

Hi Harshit,
thanks for your answer, but could you please clarify?
I've tried to create a new cstom configuration clicking on the button "Show Configurable Areas" in the Interaction Record screen, but it is possible to configure the single areas (i.e. the Notes area, the Activity Clipboard area, etc.) but not the overall page in which these blocks are inserted...
Thanks in advance,
Andrea Ricci

Does QT Pro for Mac allow webcast recording of Audio and Video?

While watching a webcast, say from NY Times, I'd like to record both audio and video via QT Pro (for later viewing). Before I spend $$ to upgrade to QT Pro, can this be done?

If the file being viewed is loaded via the QuickTime browser plug-in (part of the html page code) then the file can be saved (after it has ben downloaded). If the file isn't loaded by the QuickTime browser plug-in then it can't be saved (locally via the Pro upgrade).
QuickTime Player Pro can't "record" the screen (QuickTime X can, but only at the screen resolution).
Look in the Help menu of QuickTime X to learn more about the options.
