Screen Capture and Game Capture Frames are "Jittery"

I took a capture of and OpenGL game "Minecraft" (it saved in .avi), but when I import it into Premiere Elements the footage will go smoothly, then cut back multiple frames, then skip ahead resulting in unusable video.  The same thing happens when I save the video.
I tried the same footage in other editors (Corel VS X2, Windows Live Movie), and it ran smoothly. I used PlayClaw to record.
If it helps the video was:
Res: 848 x 480
Aspect: 16:9
Colors: YUV422
Compression: Unknown

Download and install G-Spot, to see what CODEC (Compression) is being used.
That is likely the issue.
The odd Frame Size will make choosing a Project Preset difficult.
See this recent THREAD. Be sure to check the various links in that thread.
Good luck,
Hunt

    I am running CC 2014.2.1 and I've updated to Yosemite. Not seeing tree or frame as an option in the menu. Coworker still on Mavericks has it.

  • Screen-captured movies are pixelated

    I am capturing video from my screen as I navigate within a software application (we are making training videos). The Quicktime movie that is produced at the end of the capture is flawless, but when I bring it into Final Cut Express, the final movie is pixelated and un-readable. I am using an application called iShowU to do the capture and have the video set at MAX and 40 frames/sec.
    Has anyone had success capturing video from the screen and incorporating that video into Final Cut Express? I am also having similar trouble with images exported from PowerPoint, even when they are exported at 1200DPI PNG.
    Thanks for any help!
    Michael

    If you intend to output on video, like tape or DVD, then the way to do the screen capture is to rent a scan converter and record in a digital video medium, either on tape or directly to computer in a correct standard video format.
    If you're going to deliver on the web then you can use computer resolution to scan your material. You would however then need to work with a resolution independent editing application that can work in different codecs that are suitable for this, like Final Cut Pro.
    If you are only doing simple editing and trimming you might also be able to use the QuickTime Pro player to trim and assemble screen captures.

  • Screen Capture files are corrupted

    I use the built-in Screen Capture all the time....Command-Shift-3 and Command-Shift-4.
    As recently as two days ago, it worked beautifully.
    Today, it's not working correctly. The files get saved to the desktop, but they are corrupted. I can make out the image that I captured, but it looks like the horizontal setting on old cathode ray TVs is waaay out of sync.
    I've tried a different user on the machine. I've tried changing the format from png to jpeg to pdf and back to png. Same result.
    This is weird.
    Any ideas?

    OK, weird. The problem has 'gone away' without doing anything specific. I didn't even realize it - I just did a screen shot because I needed it and then sent it to the person who needed it. Only later, did I realize that I had had problems just yesterday.
    I didn't even get a chance to try the suggestions listed above.
    By the way, all three versions of the file were corrupted: the desktop icon, the Quick Look version and the actual file as seen in Preview.
    If it happens again, I'll be back.
    Thanks for the help people. I hope to return the favor.

  • When I open Reader why does screen flash and parts of document are not readable?

    When I open a PDF my screen flashes, changes color and then when the document comes up parts of it are blacked out. When I close the document the screen flashes again. I have just downloaded the latest version of Reader.

    The slowness may be caused by background processing after the library update. Are you shooting RAW?
    Also, where is your iPhoto library stored? In your Pictures folder or on an external drive?
    How much free storage do you have on your system drive
    3. Finally when my old folders, books and contents of my old photo gallery appears in the left side of the application I have access to no photo and the program remains as it were unresponsive.
    You may need to repair your iPhoto Library.
    Run the iPhoto library first aid tools and use the options "Repair permissions" and "Repair database".
    To launch the "First Aid Tools" hold down the options-command keys while double clicking your iPhoto Library.
    Then select "Repair Database". Repeat with "Repair Permissions". If this does not help, back up your iPhoto Library and use the option "rebuild".

  • Premier Pro CS4 and Camtasia imported screen capture

    I have a question from one of you professionals regarding Camtasia screen capture video imported to PP. I used several settings that was suggested in the posts in these forums and others and the quality of my video is still very bad. Please Help:
    I am making a four minute training video that includes some screen shots of software. The final video will be put on DVD and Flash for website.
    My capture settings of Camtasia are 1024 X 768. I used Tech smith codec and I used Logarith codec to produce the video in AVI from camtasia.
    I set my PC screen size to 1024 X 768 as well.
    My Premier Pro CS4 Setting HDV 1080i, 29.97 frame rate. 1440 X 1080 Frame size.
    I also used the following frame sizes DV NTSC, 29.97 frame rate. 720X480 frame size

  • 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.

  • Flicker removal on horizontal lines and screen capture text

    Hi All,
    I often have to include a PC screen capture (such as an Excel screen) in a video. How do I minimise the amount of flicker when playing back on a CRT.
    I understand the problem is in the interlacing. I have tried the anti-flicker filter and this just seems to make things softer without much improvement in the flicker.
    I have seen a post which recommends using progressive frames for still images but does not explain how to do this.
    Any assistance gratefully received!
    Regards,
    Duncan Rosie.

    > If you are making NTSC projects, keep within the color gamut (15-235).
    That should be 16-235. And, assuming you are working with RGB files, Premiere and/or Encore will automatically scale the RGB to fit within the 16-235 luminance range. PAL also uses the same legal luminance range. It is not exclusive to NTSC.
    Here is decent trick -- it may not eliminate your flicker, but it will greatly help offset the severe blurring that occurs when applying Anti-flicker or variants of this technique (such as a vertical gaussian blur) to screen captures of GUIs, spreadsheets, etc.
    1.) Open the screen capture bitmap file in Photoshop and scale it to exactly 200% using "Nearest Neighbor" resizing
    2.) Bring that file into Premiere and use Motion to scale it to fit (scale with be 50% of what it was before you resized it)
    3.) Apply Anti-flicker filter as neeeded
    The nearest neightbor resizing method makes for "blocky" resizing that is horrendous with photos, but it ideal for screen captures -- so long as you only scale by 200%, %300, %400, etc.
    This generates "extra pixels" by replicating exisitng ones that will help:
    a.) The appearance of the image when scaled to compensate for aspect ratio
    b.) Maintain better legibility even when strong softening filters (such as Anti-flicker @ 1.0) are applied
    c.) Allow for tighter zoom-ins of your screen shots while maintaining relatively sharp edges

  • 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 have a 17" Macbook pro with flickering red and cyan(blue) lines across the 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 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.

Force Quit  required to quit unresponsive / frozen  application and then Restart of  Adobe Photoshop CC
    Crash Frequency:  Three time in this work day, 5.6.14  Once a day sporadically (approximately 10 times) in past two weeks.
    Other applications running at time of crashes:  Adobe Bridge - NOT effected.  Computer was on line with no browsers open.
    Otherwise computer continued to operate normally.
    I have been using Adobe Photoshop CC for approximately two months.

    Thanks, Chris,
    I hope that this is the solution.

  • How to Get Proper Video Screen Captures (Screencasts) of Photoshop and Lightroom in Win?

    Hello. I would like to get proper screen captures of Lightroom and Photoshop on Win 7/64, showing all screen elements as you see them. I tried FastStone Capture 8 and SnagIt 11.1, but they have various differing issues. Do you have a good hint?
    What's more: In my screen capture, i also want a mouse-click-sound each and every time the mouse is clicked. This is not "system audio", because the computer doesn't play a sound for every ordinary click. The capture software must add that sound. (I'm aware i can add the sound manually in post production, but want it recorded together with video.)
    Experience with Faststone Capture 8's video captures:
    I get well usable footage
    Does optionally record mouse-click-sound for each click, with adjustable volume
    Does not properly record some elements of Photoshop or Lightroom screens:
      - cursors sometimes look rough or double-sized 
    - Lightrooms "TAT (Target Correction Tool)" disappears while being dragged on the image
    - the color selector box of Lightroom's Adjustment Brush is not shown, while the cursor working within that color selector box is shown
    - Lightroom's three-second-splash-message after Undo etc. is not shown
    (All these missing elements do show up in *still* captures with Faststone Capture. They also *do* show up in video captures done with SnagIt, see below)
    Experience with Snagit 11.1's video captures:
    Does properly capture all those elements that FastStone does *not* capture (listed above)
    Does *not* optionally include a mouse-click-sound for each and every mouse click (they record "system audio", but a sound on every click is not "system audio", so a regular click on a menu item has no sound)
    Videos are less smooth, cursor sometimes "jumping"
    Now, do you know a screen capture software for Win 7 that can
    properly record *anything* that's seen within Lightroom and Photoshop
    and automatically add a mouse-click-sound for each and every click i do
    and produce smooth footage without "jumping cursors"?
    Thanks for your real-life experiences!

    Myles, thanks again, here are my findings with Camtasia:
    Camtasia:
    DOES record overlays like adjustment brush's colour selector
    .camrec format isn't offered for recording, only .trec and .avi (on Win 7), but trec is usable just as .camrec i guess
    Exported MP4 looks blurry and has colour blotches, that are not visible in the initial recording, only after exporting; this doesn't change at all after setting very high quality MP4 options; i guess i didn't look properly
    i see how to add mouse-click sounds; i don't like the sound they provide so much; maybe it can be exchanged.
    Other tests:
    Camstudio:
    mouse click sounds very weird (my mistake?)
    does NOT record LR overlays like adjustment brush's colour selector
    Screen-cast-o-matic, optionally online, free version:
    DOES record overlays like adjustment brush's colour selector. Mouse-click-sound not in free version. "System audio" is promised in paid version, but that does not necessarily mean a sound for each mouse-click. Contacted support for more
    Straightforward using, lots of short video tutorials (useful for absolute beginners).
    Free downloaded program 1.4 only works on primary monitor, the online launched app also records on secondary monitor
    Don't see option to record a "window", only set resolutions
    More "jumpy" than Faststone
    More interesting pro-version seems to be rent-only-licenced, at 15 USD per year, not a one-time-buy

  • Screen capture and PNG format?

    Hi,
    When I use the screen capture feature (SHIFT  4) I always get a *.PNG file. Is there a way to setup the screen capture to a JPG file format as default?
    Thanks

    I dont think so. I know that the Grab utility can save as TIFF, but I am not aware of it being able to save as JPEG.
    However I believe that you can use Preview to export the screen image to a JPEG file. However this is not exactly what you want.
    I know OSX has some frustrating features, and in some areas and ways I miss OS 9. But then again screen capture to JPEG was not available in OS 9 without third party software.
