Screen capture for posting video to website

I used iShowU for taking screen capture videos then edited with iMovie and posted them to our website. I am wondering if there is a better application out there for Mac users? Any information as well as posting it to the site is helpful! How to keep the file size down while quality high.
Thanks

What is the question? It's unclear what you are asking.
Is it ...
Is there a better app for screen capture?
or
How do I reduce the size of the edited files for web use?

  • Best practices for posting video to my iWeb site?

    What's the best way to upload movies to my site so that visitors can watch them while sacrificing the least amount of quality, size and speed?
    As an example, the iPhone commercials on the Apple webpage start playing instantly, look great and when Large is selected are the perfect size.
    But I made a 1.5 minute iSight video on iMovie and saved it as a streaming quicktime file and it takes about 10 minutes to fully load once it's on my site. And I have a 10 mpbs internet connection.
    I also just pulled up a large movie trailer on iTunes and it looks great and started playing instantly.
    Is there a better way for posting video? Perhaps in flash or another codec that would make more sense? Videos on youTube play instantly, although the quality isn't always great.
    thanks!

    There is no absolute correct way. One way is shown in this demo page. It lets the page load without having the movie load thus speeding up the page load a fair amount. The movie only has to load when the Play button is clicked on and then it opens in a separate window sized just for the movie. The code used is also shown on the page. This way can allow you to use a larger QT file and not affect the loading of the original page it's linked to.

  • What is best screen capture for video to be edited in FCP?

    Hello:
    I need to add some video from a client's website to include in a video being edited in ye olde FCP 7.
    The rest of the video is ProRes 422.
    Is there a screen capture software package that can capture in a compatible format and be high resolution enough?
    I have looked at ScreenFlow and Camtasia for Mac but they don't have much info on their sites about video specs.
    Client wants to capture a webcast and show the video in context of the website it plays on.
    I could just shoot the screen with my HD camera but I'm hoping there is something better out there.
    Oh - and yes... I have thought of cheating it.... superimposing the original video into a screen grab of the website but the client doesn't have the original video.
    Thanks for any info.

    I've been using Camtasia recently and there's a 30 day trial
    http://www.techsmith.com/camtasia.html?gclid=Cj0KEQjw6J2eBRCpqaW0857k9p4BEiQAWar YbCmQ3HIjSWIUtIo6lldJhPTa488h8EmZlSh6hpLHdHIaAqYQ8P8HAQ
    And you can record the entire screen or choose just a smaller area.  Great for capturing video on a website

  • PC Video screen capture for AE importing?

    Does anybody know of a good screen capturing utility for the PC that I can import the files of into AE?
    Currently Im using Camstudio but the results Im getting are very poor and when I import them into AE it doesnt handle them very well at all (very choppy play back - very choppy indeed)
    I use Snapz at home on my mac which works perfectly - but I dont know of anything as good for the PC :(
    any help would be much appreciated - many thanks!
    Nick

    ok- ive got the demo of camtasia - its good, but I think perhaps im asking too much of it. Im trying to capture quite large flash websites, but it always ends up quite jerky :(
    One of the sites Im trying to grab is www.playhousedisney.co.uk but im not having much luck :(
    Does anybody know of any hardware accelerated way of grabbing websites like this without any frame loss or jerkiness?
    thanks again for all your help!

  • Best screen capture for using with premiere elements?

    i have been scouring the net to figure out how to get better results than what i'm getting with the camstudio (love the program, and it looks great until i pull it into premiere). I have read that it can be a codec issue or an fps issue, but before i follow those trails, i was wondering if there is a screen capture software that works well with premiere, without a lot of hassle. (not necessarily free, just reliable and hassle free with good quality in premiere elements) Anyone have experience with this?
    thanks in advance!

    Well, we've used Camtasia and Adobe's Captivate to make tutorials for http://www.muvipix.com. They're both excellent, and I've never had a problem with either.
    Chuck Engels is really the expert on both those program though. You can find him on the Muvipix forum daily.
    Steve.
    Would you please provide an update to the process of screen capture?  What does muvipix.com and lynda.com use?  I'm considering a project where my granddaughters create a couple of training videos for kids.  It's a dream, but might work!
    Thanks.

  • Posting video to website

    Dear All,
    I am new to the webpage construction world, but I used Premiere a while ago to create a neat video I would like to post on my website. Does anyone know how to do this? I am using Expression Web and I wouldn't think it'd be too hard to post a video from Premiere, but again, I am not familiar with website building. Any ideas or suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Sorry; I confused this by saying "flashplayer" in the first response.  What I am referring to is a "Flash video player" or "flv player" which is itself a flash swf.
    I started using flv videos before I had the suite, and did not have adobe flash.  It was my belief then, and now - although I can't find documentation for it at this moment - that you cannot simply get a copy of a flash video player without having a license to have produced it.  You can find open source or for fee options (see for example flvplayer.com which is what I used when it was all open source) if you don't want to use the adobe option.
    If you have the flash program, it creates a flash video player for you that you upload to your site, and that you can use with Adobe's blessing.
    There are 3 options for using video in flash.
    1 - You can embed the video directly into a flash movie (swf file) and not create an flv,
    2 - You can export a .flv file (from Premiere or from the flash encoder), and put it in an swf file (when the video is called, you see an flv player appear), or
    3 - You can export flv and play it from a "flash video player."
    You can specify options for the player that provide/limit user options such as volume controls, having any controls, etc.  this includes having no frame, no controls, etc, so you don't even see the "player."

  • Screen captures for a 720p project?

    What is the best way to take screen captures/grabs and prepare them for being placed in a 720p project?
    Thanks.

    1. Any idea what determines the resolution of the screen shot?
    Usually the dimensions of the monitor, but you changed it and it still took it at 1920x1200...so you got me.
    2. What would I do if I want to bring in screen captures into a 1080p project and I want to do zooms and pans on these images
    Make the dimensions larger than 1920x1080. You can do that in Photoshop. At least twice the size. Photoshop does a better upscale than FCP when it comes to stills.
    how can I take a higher resolution version of these screen captures?
    No idea.

  • Screen Capture for Droid Incredible 2

    I have been trying to figure out how to do the screen capture on my Droid Incredible 2. I accidently did it last night but I'm not sure what I pressed. Does anyone have any idea how to do it?

    I didn't think the Dinc2 has a built in screenshot option. Some application might have included the function for their application. I know Weatherbug application has that feature.
    The only other way to get screenshots that I am aware of is to install the ADB program on your computer and connect the phone to the computer create screenshot.

  • Recording/screen capture for android device

    Hello all,
    I am using Captivate 7 to do record some software simulations for apps on mobile devices. Up until now, I've recorded apps on the iPad, and I used Reflector to mirror the display to my computer.
    Now I have to do a project where I need to record an app that's on an Android device (Galaxy Notebook). I've tried Bluestacks, to at least emulate the app on my computer, but I can't get bluestacks to work.
    Can anyone recommend any other mirroring device or emulator that works with an android based app?
    thanks a bunch.

    Hi there
    I've never tried it, but did a quick Google search and found this:

  • Best workflow for posting video to iweb

    If I am posting video on iWeb (HDV) what would the corret way to to that?
    export to QT or do a QT conversion and resize.
    when I do the QT movie - and post in iweb I get a message that says how the file exceeds the 10 mb ??? something or other.
    Do I need to set the file in QT conversion for strreaming media? or fast start?? I really don't have a clue if one is superior?
    THanks

  • How to screen capture a computer video game being played??

    Need a small clip of a kid playing a rather fast moving video game. Is there a way to capture that and then use it in FCP??
    Thanks
    John

    The kid capture is no problem. I have plenty of cameras and will be able to map the screen capture onto a 3d computer monitor. Only thing I did not know how to do was how to capture the video and get it into a quicktime or .avi format.
    Thanks

  • Screen Capture for Video?

    Hi all,
    I would like to do the following two things:
    *_ITEM A:_*
    1) Insert a DVD.
    2) Hit the Pause Button.
    3) Get a Screen Shot of just the still frame.
    *_ITEM B:_*
    1) Insert a DVD.
    2) Capture only say a 25 second segment out of a 2 hour DVD and save it in a separate file (QT, AVI, MPEG, etc).
    Is there a way to do this within the OS? And before anyone answers, no the Grab functionality does not work with either of the two "Items" above. If there is not a way to do this within the OS, any other suggestions for software would be appreciated.
    I have a MacBookPro, Tiger 10.4.1 running Parallels and Windows XP. So the software can be either MAC or PC based.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi
    You're right, the built-in screen grabs do not work with DVD Player.
    First, use VLC Player to play a DVD that you want to screencap, and you will be able to use the normal screengrab keystrokes to get stills.
    For movies, you should look into Snapz Pro.

  • Video Screen shot for Demo Video

    I am building a complex website and want to take a video demo of my screen as I walk through it's different steps. Can I do that with quicktime? Is there a program out there for mac that would allow me to do that?

    Another option is a new app called ScreenFlow.
