Screen Capture Program Run Off of a Flash Drive

I am looking for a screen capture program that I would either be able to run off of a flashdrive, or something that I can easily move from computer to computer whenever I need it.
I do high end video work for a University and I am constantly being asked to do screen captures of a computer that is part of a technology demonstration. I love the features that Snap Pro X has, but the limitations of being able to only install on a HD with a running copy of OSX, and not being able to easily change the registered computer makes it to much for the hassle. Likewise, free apps like Jing work great, but are not easy to integrate into a FCP project.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I believe that for most apps, you can just copy the .app file from /Applications/ to wherever you want-it may break some updating functionality, but that's the only way to have it in a different location.
Good luck!

  • Screen Capture Program

    The MS problem recorder won't work since we need actual video not just stills. The other issue is the problem recorder is disabled through a GPO I believe in compliance with our HIPPA policies (hospital).

    Hello world!
    I am looking for a light-weight screen capture program to assist in trouble-shooting. While there are tons of options out there I am trying to find one that allows me to set it to launch when a preset EXE starts and closes / renders the video once the EXE closes. The other thing is it needs to run as silently as possible. I am aware of VLC but their current solution crashes way too often and leaves corrupt MP4 files all over the place. I will also note that I have been given a decent budget to use of this project so if it is some what pricey that may be okay.

  • How do I connect two video cameras to my computer have them both show up on the desktop at the same time so I can see and capture both images using a screen capture program?

    Hello, 
    I am a teacher and want to make some videos to post online for my class.  I would like to have it set up so that I have a powerpoint presentation going, a video camera pointing at a piece of paper I can write on and another video camera pointing at me.  How do I do this?  I have seen several solutions but they seem to be for switching between videos whereas I want both video images to be on at the same time.
    Also, is there a screen capture program you would recommend?

    Go to System Preferences - Sharing and change the computer name there. You can also, optionally, change the name of your hard drive to further clarify the origin of your backups. Click once on the "Macintosh HD" on your desktop, then click its name to allow you to edit it.

  • I just downloaded pictures off of a flash drive, and half of the pictures are messed up?

    I just downloaded pictures off of my flash drive and half of the picture comes out really oddly.... Example:
    Does anyone know what is causing this?

    Yes, forgetting the pictures, you desktop background is showing these color issues?
    You need to contact Apple for diagnostic / repair.  You have a hardware issue with the logic board or logic feeder cable to monitor (unlikely the monitor itself).
    You just bought it and its a Retina macbook Pro correct?    Never dropped or any water spills?
    I was hoping that wasnt it until you said that.
    while you STILL CAN see everything (even if off color) backup up ALL VITAL DATA to an external mem stick or hard drive.  Documents, pics, working files, etc etc

  • Run dot_clean automatically on flash drive

    just reformat the flash drive using disk utility.

  • No screen capture program in CC?

         I realize there are a ton of programs out there with varrying degrees of usefulness for this sort of thing. But I would expect such a comprehensive toolset as creative cloud would have some way of recording my desktop/other adobe programs. I work in marketing for a software company, so the vast majority of video done by us, is from the software itself. I hate having to rely on 3rd party programs and freeware video converters to do this. I understand captivate has this ability..... but for some reason is not included in the package. I also understand there was an Ideas post, where this topic was voted on. However I do not have the necessary perms to access that page.
         If anyone is aware of a change, or could perhaps point me in a direction where my cries will be more usefulI, that would be appreciated. I guess I should also mention the reason I want adobe CC to support screen capture natively is because I love the entire CC package to death! the developers at adobe, could run circles around any of these compettitors (techsmith for example) in my opinion.

  • What Screen capture programs work well for streaming?

    i have tried a recommended program called ManyCam and it works.. i can stream and in HD. my issues are with the lack of audio options with this program.
    For example. i want to be able to have a game running.. music through WMP and have mic available on a PTT.
    With Many cam it seems like this software wasnt set up with streaming in mind as its only audio functions supported are for mic inputs and it will
    NOT register music playing through the speakers.
    unlike AFMLE  open brodcaster has the option to select a mic and play audio to the stream that is playing through my default audio device. which is awesome except its lacking in other features. and it is still using manycam.
    So... how can i get AFLME to register my default audio device through manycam..
    or... what other capture programs are supported by AFMLE (ive tried searching but i keep getting webcam results and posts on how to capture other peoples streaming content.. lol.. frustrating

    Hi, I am new to flash media encoder. I have ManyCam on my mac, however, when I downloaded flash media encoder 3.2 I could not get it to recognize my manycam. Can you tell me what to do?

  • Is it possible to run iTunes from a flash drive?

    Hi Everyone,
    I just would like to know if you could run iTunes off a flash drive? It takes up alot of space on my hard drive and was hoping to free some up. I have an 8GB iPod and currently it's filled with 6.08GB of music. I purchased a 16GB flash drive and was thinking I could run it off there. See I don't access iTunes all that often and hopefully won't kill the drive. I guess the next part would be how should I go about it if it's posible?
    Thanks so much in advance!

    You can certainly put your library on a flash drive, though I'd strongly, strongly recommend that you have another copy of your library elsewhere, as flash drives are easily lost, broken or corrupted. You cannot count on tracks always being available for redownload from the iTunes Store, if you have any such.
    The easiest way to move your library is to just drag the entire iTunes folder (the _entire_ folder, _not_ just the iTunes Music folder) to your desired location. Then hold down the Shift key while launching iTunes. You'll be given a dialog box where you can select the iTunes library you want to use. Navigate to and select the iTunes folder in it's new location.
    Note that this procedure assumes that all of your tracks are contained in the iTunes folder. If they're scattered around your volumes, moving them becomes much more complex.  And don't launch iTunes with the flash drive not mounted or iTunes will default back to the internal drive. If it does, though, just mount the external drive and launch iTunes with the Shift key again.
    Don't delete the tracks from the old location until you've confirmed that they're working correctly from the flash drive.
    Regards.

  • My mum needs files off her USB flash drive. My mum needs you!!!

    Hi all.
    Got an urgent call off my darling mother this morning. She has/had all her important work files stored on a single USB stick (yes, I know..)
    The disk has died, and I'm asking if any of you wonderful people have any ideas on how I might be able to retrieve any/all data off it.
    The disk is found in lsusb as:
    Bus 005 Device 003: ID 058f:1234 Alcor Micro Corp. Flash Drive
    is listed as /dev/sdb however "dd if=/dev/sdb of=mumscrappystick.img" gives us:
    dd: failed to open ‘/dev/sdb’: No medium found
    Any bright ideas much appreciated, Windows or Linux tools, beers given to the winning idea!! Urgent response required.
    (Have also tried testdisk which doesn't find said drive)

    Thanks ewaller and shulamy. I'm pretty careful with dd and touch wood haven't done anything silly with it 'yet', I did however manage to rm my entire /etc/ directory after a few beers round at a friends house recently (don't ask)!
    Have had a lot of luck with testdisk in the past. Was going to make an image of it and run testdisk on that, but as I couldn't get an image of it via dd this wasn't possible. Also testdisk did not detect the stick on startup.
    There's a windows utility called 'urescue' which has had success on some usb sticks for some people.
    A page I found which discusses reflashing the controller chip on the USB stick is: http://www.rmprepusb.com/tutorials/repa … lash-drive
    The above link uses many manufacturer utilities, which only run on Windows XP, so sorry if this offends people. Sometimes you need to dance with the devil for this kind of thing A small Windows XP partition can sometimes be a bit of a lifesaver...

  • Auto-run file on USB flash drive

    Is it possible to Auto-run a file on USB flash drive when it is first plugged in, or when it is clicked on ?

    ok, clicking on the icon of a folder can not launch anything. what you can do is make it so that when you insert the flash drive then it plays that mp3. that can be done with a folder action but I would recommend using Do Something When http://www.azarhi.com/Projects/DSW/index.php for this. it works much better than folder actions and is easier to use.

  • MacBook Pro running slow after USB flash drive

    I mount a Kingston USB flash drive to my 30 days old MacBook Pro running Lion 10.7.4
    My Mac didn't recognize, so I inserted another one and it did recognize it.
    And I notice my mac was running slow, some task that I did the day before (illustrator cs6) were really fast.
    But after that USB flash drive it went slow, I thought it was and error and reebot it, also cleaning out the Cache and other stuff with CleanMyMac.
    But it continues to run slow.
    Please if someone knows what I can do I will appreciate it.

    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
    If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

  • How do I get my library off of my flash drive onto my new computer?

    I just got a new computer today, so this morning I made sure to put everything that has to do with itunes on my flash drive so I could transfer my library onto the new computer. I have tried following many steps on how to move a library from an old computer to a new one, but so far I have only recovered purchased songs. I have plugged in my flash drive into the new PC and I can see the itunes library file, but when I click it, nothing happens. I hhave installed itunes on the new PC and like I said only some of my songs are in it. When I plug my ipod nano into my new PC, I get a message asking if i want to scan and fix my ipod. I have hit "continue scanning", but if I do hit scan and fix, will that erase all the songs on my ipod? I really can't have that happen, so I'm trying to be very cautious on what I do. Also, I have my ipod plugged in and in itunes I hit the arrow next to my ipod and it shows the drop down menu including my music. All of the songs that are in my old library and currently on my ipod are there, but they're all grayed out. I've tried copying the music folder to my ipod and it says I don't have enough space, but like I said, I am not going to erase all of the songs on my ipod. If someone could please help me out I'd really appreciate it! By the way I have Windows 7.

    This is how you should have done it. I don't know if you still have the files to do it this way:
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you use iTunes default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

  • How can i get information off of my flash drive using the iMac?

    Unless you are 100% sure about what you are doing, don't try to open a flash drive as it the best way of destroying it.

  • Best screen capture program

    I just purchased Adobe CS4 Master Collection and I am wondering if it includes any programs that could capture still screen shots. I could always use Windows 7's snipping tool but does CS4 have anything better?

    You can hit "Print Screen" then open Photoshop and File>New, accept default values that it gives you and Edit>Paste.  This will give you a 72dpi screen image of whatever your monitor's resolution is set to.
