Screen capture video on iPad

Has anyone found a good app for recording iPad screen activity to video?

For Video recordning, reflection is the best one, other options are ScreenFlow or you can buy Apple Ditital Av adaptor to connect to your Mac.

URGENT - Screen Capture Video Quality

Hi,
I need to create a movie for a client that shows the computer system that was developed for them. The system is a web application and is accessed using Internet Explorer. I need to be able to put the movie onto a dvd for viewing at various client locations.
I created a number of screen capture videos using Snagit 9 showing the user experience in Internet Explorer. I took these with my screen resolution at 1440x900 and, when I put them into my Premiere Elements project that is setup as a NTSC DV format, the video quality is unreadable. I have tried to use several tools to compress the video to a size that is lower than the 720x480 resolution of my NTSC DV format Premiere project and the files themselves look great when I view them using Windows Media player. However, when I add the files to Adobe Premiere they become extremely blurry regardless of whether I've scaled the video or not. I have tried different aspect ratios in the Interpret Footage and have even removed the scale to frame option.
Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong or how I can fix this problem? I need to have this video completed for tomorrow evening and am stuck with the illegible screen capture videos. Please help.
Thanks,
Scot

Burn your project to DVD (or first to a folder then onto DVD) and see how it looks on a standalone DVD player. It may be a problem with your screen resolutions v native resolutions, or a lack of preview rendering (is there a red line above your timeline - if so press enter).
On top of this you have the absolute problem that your are asking PRE to reduce from a 1440 x 900 screen resolution to a 720x480 DVD format. How well it does this you'll really only see by burning a DVD - but if it doesn't look good enough you might consider using a 800 x 600 screen resolution to record your screen captures and reduce the amount of downscaling PRE does.
Which Snagit Export format did you use to import to PRE? What other export formats are available?
Cheers,
Neale

Screen Capture Video Loses Quality When Imported Into iMovie - WHY?

I am using screen capture software to make a video of my screen at 1024x768. The video is for a tutorial. I want to use iMove to get things like transitions and such into the movie, and to add text and audio. The problem is that, although the video looks great in QuickTime, it loses quality significanly when I import into iMove. The text on the screen is blurry, and the quality of everything else is terrible as well.
Is this s limitation of iMove? Can screen capture video be imported? Does it only work with DV?
Also, I tried to convert the file to many other formats, from QuickTime to MPEG-4, so it's not the file type.
If anyone can help me out, I've be very grateful.
Thanks!
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Your dimensions are getting in the way. iMovie converts your 1024X768 to a DV Stream file that is 720X480.
One workaround would be to set your display resolution smaller. Try 800X600 (if your windows fit that size).
If you're using Snapz Pro you should set your window capture to 640X480. This size will import nicely into iMovie.
An even better way would be to do all of the work using QuickTime Pro. Again a 1024X768 QT.mov file would not fit on the most common display settings used. When you add the QT Player window the controller would be below the screen and not accessible for most users.
800X600 would make a better file (smaller, too). It would still be 4:3 aspect and would also import into iMovie.

Making a screen capture video to be digitally projected large - quality?

I am making a screen capture video on my macbook. The capture area is not the full 13" screen. Currently I am using quicktime. The video itself is very basic but it will ultimately be projected on a large wall. What do I need to do in settings etc. to make sure the quality isn't compromised when projected? Quicktime does not seem to offer the option to record in HD quality when screen capturing. It looks great on my screen but I am unsure how it will translate large. Please advise this rookie thank you!

Thanks!
I'm only trying to capture a portion of my screen, but quicktime does not give the option to record in HD or control the quality when making screen captures.
I have downloaded IshowUHD and I can record in high dimensions but when I view the playback in fullscreen mode the quality does not seem to shift. Am I missing something super basic? Thanks in advance.

What are the best sequence settings in FCP 5 for exporting screen capture video footage?

I capture video footage of websites in order to showcase in a demo reel. Using Snapz Pro, the compression type I have found to have the best quality is H264. When I take this footage into FCP (v5.1.4), I choose DV NTSC 48khz for the sequence setting. If I then select H264 for the sequence compression type, when I go to render I get a 'Codec error.'
The only way I am able to render properly is by choosing DV NTSC 48khz for the sequence setting and DV/DVCPRO-NTSC as my sequence compression type. The problem with this though is I get a perfect picture in the Viewer, but the picture quality in the Canvas (and the subsequent exported video) is slightly blurred.
I've been trying to find a solution to this problem off and on for years. I've finally decided now to get to the bottom of the issue. If you can solve this one you are my hero!
Ted

Thanks for the suggestions. I've tried using DVCPRO HD in the past, but the picture quality of the captured screen footage turns out blurry. The only codecs I've found that provide a perfectly clear image are H264, Animation and Uncompressed 8-bit. The problem with the latter two is that video files lasting only a few seconds measure in the 100s of MBs. Working with files that large would slow my editing and rendering down to a non-workable length.
I just don't understand why I can't edit H264 video if my sequence codec is set to H264. The 'Codec error' I get is baffling.

How do I screen capture video?

I want to video capture my screen while I'm working on a program (for a tutorial) is there any 3rd party application that enables you to capture video of your screen?
Thanks

Aloha Caleb, I can vouch for Snapz Pro X, I've used it for several years through Panther ,Tiger, and now 10.5.2 Leopard. It has a lot of options and choices for video sizes. I think they have a demo available go here:

Screen capture video flickers . . .

I have screen capture footage from a client that's a .wmv file:
   1024x768
   15fps
   Square pixels
   Progressive
When I create a DVD from the footage I get occasional flicker.
This isn't just the "thin horizontal lines" issue that I'm well aware
of. When it flickers, the entire screen flickers. And, here's
what I really don't understand - the flicker will start/stop even
when I see no motion on the screen.
I've tried the various flicker removal options and they help a bit,
but also make the text harder to read.
I've tried direct import into Encore and a dynamic link from Premiere.
The flicker happens when the DVD is played on my workstation or
plasma TV.
When the original .wmv file is played on the computer it looks perfect.
Help?

Here is what I have come across as well..
I have created a Photoshop file 1920x1080 (settings in Photoshop) which are the full HDV layout Photoshop has.
I made all of my buttons on different text layers and then inmported all of this into Adobe Encore (first time user)
I then set all of my buttons into a timeline which synced up the audio and video (note:Full HD video shot at 1080p - converted in compressor for blu-ray)
Everythning in preview looks great, everything lines up - im ready to burn.
I burn the project - play it on my 50inch Plasma screen TV - and all of the text is flickering and so is the image slightly. Driving me nuts! The videos play fine and are as clear as day! Its amazing quality but the menu is not!
Heres the catch:
I synced up two videos to the menu and thats all I burned with two menus that were active.
The burn was great and no flickering.
OIt seems when I add more data the DVD menu loses quality and starts flickering. I dont think its a burn speed issue or a drive issue, but a software issue! Anything will help!

Screen capture ability on iPad?

Hiya!
Not sure if anyone can answer this just yet, but does the iPad also do screen captures like the iPod touch and iPhone can? You know--hit the home button+sleep button?
Thanks

I noticed the screen capture in landscape mode going sideways into saved photos, also. I noticed this first after
typing up a recipe card in Pages that had an embedded picture. The good news is that it printed perfectly to 4 x 6 paper in my hp printer using same free hpprint app that is in my iPhone. The bad news is that once I synced and uploaded to iPhoto I had to duplicate the pic and rotate it counterclockwise. Then I could put it in a smart album, and sync to my iPad. But then iPhoto chops off the top and bottom when I print to 4 x 6 from iPhoto. Preview chops it also. So now, I use Pages to type card, screen capture so it prints perfectly to my hp, then have Pages do an email in PDF format. I go to iMac, open the mail and save to desktop, open PDF, use apple key shift and 4 key to screen capture with a wide margin and import to iPhoto and don't have to turn the photo.
I don't know what you are doing with your screen captures, but Photogene iPhone app will rotate pics. I think it was a free iPhone app and might work as is. Otherwise the fee based photogenic would probably rotate it also.

Create Screen Capture / Video Capture / Screencast using Flex?

Hi there,
Has there been any update to this conversation: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/420807

hi
you can do it with AIR using Native Process - see http://gotoandlearn.com/play.php?id=125
if its not AIR, it cant be done (as Flash Player has no access to your system except file browsing)

I am trying to screen capture a simulation session in captivate 6 and then edit it in premiere pro cc 2014 when I import the video into premiere, it is blurry

Caveat - I am relatively new to adobe captivate and premiere, so hopefully this is a simple setting issue that I have not been able to figure out. When I do a video capture in captivate 6 the output mp4 is very clear. If I play it in windows media player it is crisp and clear. If I import that same mp4 into Premiere Pro CC 2014, it is very blurry. My simulation has gauges and dials that need to be clear and I need to "mix" audio, narration, and system sounds into this video. Any help would be extremely appreciated!

OK - back to my caveat. When I select preferences in Premiere and look at the playback setting, I get options for Preroll, Postroll, Step forward/back many, mercury transmit, Audio device, Adobe DV and disable video output when in backgroud (all of which I am not smart enough to comprehend).
I apologize for my ignorance. So as I continued to read your question, I, of course googled "how to set playback resolution in premiere pro" and I learned how to do that.... They were set to 1/2. I adjusted to full and it seems to be clear now.... I think you just helped me, help myself. Thank you! Did I get it right? Is there any more you can recommend when it comes to taking a screen capture video and making it into an awesome demo?
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you,

Exporting Video Screen Capture from iPod Touch

I'm looking to export video of me using an app that we have developed on the iPod Touch to export as a video (in the same way that screenshots can be captured). Does anyone know if a) There's an app for that , or b) if there's a cable that I can plug into the ipod that will plug into my MacBook Pro (ie not the Griffin aircraft cable) to give me a high quality screen capture video? I'm finding that using a video camera of using the app isn't giving high enough quality for what I'm trying to achieve. Thanks.

What happens if you tap "more" under music?
Is there no video option there?

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

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
I also used MPEG2, HDTV 720p, 29.97High quality, 1280 X 720 frame rate
None of the above settings worked. Please help
Thank you

This ARTICLE and the included links might be helpful. Be very sure to look at all of the replies by Jeff Bellune on using the TechSmith CODEC's from Camtasia. I think that he replied in most linked threads.
Good luck,

Imported screen capture avi looks pixely in pp2 cs3

Okay this is my first post on here so please bear with me, I will try to make this any easy one.
I am using Adobe Premiere Pro cs3 and I have been trying like mad to get a usable screen capture incorporated into my videos. I work for an internet company and I am charged with the task of creating tutorial dvds for training new employees and new website owners how to use our software. I am a professional, but I have never had to use so many screen captured elements, to be truthful, I have not used any until recently.
I have tried importing flash files of the content I need into premiere, which as far as I can tell is impossible and not the way to go about this. I then aquired a program called Hypercam that allows me to screen capture directly to AVI which I thought was wonderful until I brought the avi movies into premiere. What I am seeing is the source go from looking near perfect when not in motion in the source window, then the instant I hit play, the pixels turn to crap and it looks terrible, unusable for my purposes as smaller text gets completely obscured. The same is true if the avi file is brought into the timeline, no matter if it's rendered or not.
Upon closer inspection it appears that the pixels become wider and blurred when the video is played than when it is at rest.
The AVI files default properties copied directly from what premiere is telling me are as follows:
Type: AVI Movie
File Size: 22.6 MB
Image Size: 1280 x 1024
Pixel Depth: 1280
Frame Rate: 10.00
Total Duration: 00;00;17;17
Average Data Rate: 1.3 MB / second
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.0
Depth is 16 bits.
Compressor: 'CRAM', Microsoft Video 1
My project settings are:
720x480
dv ntsc PAR .9
29.97 fps
My system is a Dell XPS 710 Quad core with Nvidia 768mb 8800 GTX card and dual monitor set up.
I have read through the other thread dealing with this and as far as I can tell, it is either a PAR issue or a problem with using an AVi in premiere. I need help friends, and I guess the questions I need answered would be one or many of the following.
1. How do I screen capture into a usable format for Premiere with no loss of quality?
2. How can I use/convert my existing files so that I may edit them without loss of quality?
I will continue looking and I will be monitoring this thread until I get something that works. I'm not afraid to spend money to do this right so any and all suggestions are welcome. Please HELP!

So I have been doing some more homework and I took Harm's suggestion to get Camtasia. Thank you for that, I love it. It is quite versatile and looks great(It should for $300). So now I am able to produce a screen captured video that is workable though I am having a couple of issues still. The Dv/NTSC standard of 720x480 PAR .9 is not the easiest to match up. I have output my camtasia video as an AVI, 640x480 with a PAR of 1 and set it to 30fps, I also set my premiere project to 30 fps. The AVI file I created is about 14 gigs as the movie is 9 minutes long. I tried importing it but only the first 2 minutes of the video come into the project which makes no sense to me. I am getting low on Hard Drive Space ~30 gigs left of 320, so maybe there are safeguards in the machine or program which won't let me use the whole file as it would bring me too close to the limit(don't worry, I'm getting a 1TB external drive later today). So now I am pondering my options and again asking for help.
My first question is why would a 9 minute avi cut itself off to 2 minutes when imported into premiere and how can I get it to import properly?
Second question, perhaps I am approaching this the wrong way, is there a better way to make a tutorial video with the screen captured AVi that I now have? I want to do some fancy stuff with AE an PP to make it shine but neither seem very willing to comply. What I'm considering is just producing an intro and ending separately and then importing the finished videos back into Camtasia, even though their transitions are kind of basic, it would work I think.
I am going to be using this alot as I have 12 different lessons to create so if Harm or anyone else wants to offer suggestions on the best way to approach this and/or fix my importing/compatibility issues, I would greatly appreciate it.
