Screen Capture/Voice Record eCourses

I'm looking to create eCourses using screen capture/voice record. Would Adobe Captivate 7 be my best option? Would I have to purchase this software seperatly or does Creative Cloud have something I could use for this?
Thanks!

Hi there
I read your post. I use Snapz Pro X too, and I was surprised to learn it doesn't work with Keynote. Here's a possible work around.
Record your voice-over on any recorder and export to itunes or if you have sound studio loaded on your mac, use it. From the inspector you can access you voice-over for use in your project.
I've recorded a voice-over in sound studio for a keynote project. From sound studio I export to my desktop. From the desktop I drag and drop the audio onto the slide I need the voice-over on. This works well for me. try it.
Once you've got it set the way you like, export the Keynote project to QT or whatever format you like. In QT, the project will play like a movie. You can save the file, burn to a disk, or post to a web page.
I hope this helps
Carl

Screen Capture and Recording

Anyone have any recommendations for Screen Capture/Recording software that is compatible with MAC. I would like to build some tutorials to illustrate some recording techniques using Logic Pro and need something that can record my steps visually and then be importable into Garage Band or iMovie as a movie file so I can layer sound over it.
I am looking at options from cheap to expensive. Any input is appreciated.
Thanks!

Here is a list of them:

Most people I know use this one:
Snapz Pro X 2.0.3

Trying to increase the sound of recorded screen captures

Hi. I'm making screen capture movies with Snapz PRo 2 and they are being saved as QT movies on my desktop. When I open them in QT and try to increase the sound volume, the setting don't stick if I try to raise the volume over 0db. I read somewhere that QT won't let you save volume over 0db, is that true?
If so, does anyone know how I can increase the gain on the movies without having to load them into Final Cut or iMovie? Is there some program that will let me just edit the sound of a QT movie?
Thanks in advance.

Hey, thanks for the tips. But... I don't think I'm making myself clear here.
I don't want to spend ANY time in post with these tutorial screencasts that I'm making. If I did, I'd just whip out my Sennheiser and my mixer and take the whole shebang into FCP and cut it and sweeten audio there.
What I'm doing is using Snapz to capture screen actions that I'm recording as tutorials for my students. I'm using either a Blue Snowball USB mic or my Logitech 250 USB headset with mic to record my voice as I demo apps on the Mac. Snapz is using the Apple animation codec to make the movies. But, what Snapz is not doing and cannot do is help me boost the audio a bit. If it did, then I'd have a finished movie right there. As it is, I have to wait a long time for Snapz to finalize the flick. What I don't want to do is load the film up in FCP (takes time) and then export it (also takes time) and be done. I want to package these things up fast. All I need to do is boost the audio a little and everything would be great. If Quicktime Pro allowed me to do that, that would be great because it would not have to re-encode the movie again.
Maybe there is no way to do what I'm asking without doing it in FCP. If that's the case then that's what I'll do.
THe whole point of this is that I want to keep it as simple and as past as possible because I am not making any money doing this (but I am teaching for money). I offer it to my students as a value added addition to their classes.
Thanks,
Antonio

I found an answer to this on another page (I was having the same problem) This worked for me:
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.

Captivate 5.5 Question: We seem to be having an issue with the screen capture piece not recording "everything".
We're running 5.5 as an administrator on Windows 7 and my co-worker is trying to capture a webinar (GoToMeeting) with Captivate and it is not recording anything in the GTM window, except the last slide. Anyone have this problem or know a fix? Not much is mentioned in the Adobe forums.

Captivate simply doesn't 'hear' some screen events on certain applications and you just need to resort to doing manual captures at these points.
I usually set up my manual capture button to be F2 so that I can hit it with my left hand while my right hand is on the mouse navigating through the task.

Record screen captures smaller than the screen size of my captivate tutorial

Hello,
I'm fairly new to captivate, but what I want to do I thought
was very simple. I'm using the Record feature to record screen
captures navigating applications, but when I use them in the
captivate tutorial I'm creating, I don't want them to show full
screen. I would like my template frame (with company name, logo,
and some buttons) to remain on the left side of the screen, and
show the recording in a box on the right. How can I do this?
Thanks!
Michaela

Screen Capture Solution, and/or HD Recording

I am part of the video conferencing group at a university. Aside from broadcasting classes, we also archive them and provide media recording solutions for faculty and staff. In the past, we have used the Flash Media Live Encoder to record A/V streams, and later host them on our Flash Media Server for later viewing.
Increasingly though, our professors have been requesting a way to capture their Powerpoints/Documents/Etc. off of the computer in full resolution while they are teaching the class, and having the standard video image of their lecture attached to it in some way. We have tried using Sonic Foundry's MediaSite device, and while it gets the job done (simultaneously records audio, video, and computer screen), it is tedious to work with, as it uses it's own proprietary player. What we really need is something that records one large FLV file, with the video image overlayed on top of the computer image at high resoution.
Now, does Adobe have any software/hardware that can capture all three, whether it integrates with Captivate or is stand-alone? If not, then is there a way to get the Flash Media Live Encoder to record at HD resolutions? (if there is, we have PiP equipment that can feed two video sources simultaneously) Right now, the max resolution our Encoder will record at is 720x576.

You can try with free screen capture softwares like :
UScreen Capture
VHScreen Capture
Camtasia
Also there are many device which can do this like Vision RGB, Epiphan etc.
These devices gets listed in FMLE as anyother normal video device. For audio you van attach any mike on your computers and can use the sound card of your system in audio device list.
These devices lets you capture HD video at maximum 10 FPS depending upon your machine hardware capabilities but i think this FPS is more tha sufficient for power point slides and presentations.
Also please keep bitrates little bit high because of high size video.
Please let me know if this works for you.

How to record video or use screen capture WHILE capturing audio from Logic??

Hi,
I want to record my self playing guitar and singing using my mac book pro built in camera. I want the audio to come from Logic so I can add whatever effects I want to the vocals. When I say audio from Logic I don't mean recording in Logic and adding it in post. I want it to be on the fly.
What I used to do was use the screen capturing program Snapz Pro. I would screen capture a box around photobooth for the video, and then record while having Logic's audio in the background. It screen captures my entire computers audio. So for example if I get an aim message the bleep would show up in the recording. Or if I raise the volume or lower it the little click sound fx would be in it as well.
Capturing the audio this way let me get Logic's audio effects in my video on the fly. It worked out great....until now! :/
I just got the audio interface "Duet 2". And am using a microphone instead of my mbp's built in one. When ever I tried to record and capture my systems audio - my entire computer would crash. Snapz Pro won't work with the system audio with the interface. It works fine without it though.
I then tried to use Quicktime's new movie recording feature. I see it only gives an option for microphone and now system audio. So I got soundflower to re route the audio but that doesn't help either. This is because when you capture this way you can't hear anything while your capturing. So if I were to record a video and wanted Logics audio in it, I would have to set the output to Soundflower first. So when I record I cant hear myself which defeats the purpose.
So my final question is, how can I record video while having Logic's audio? I don't need to record with the mic, because in Logic the mic audio is going thru the system audio with everything else.
I would like to use a process more similiar to Quicktimes straight movie recording instead of doing an odd way like I used to screen capturing a box around the photobooth screen.
Thanks

Hi Paul, QuickTime X can record video and here is the tutorial for you: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH5882?viewlocale=en_US. I'm wondering why you don't just download it using some free YouTube downloader, easy and fast.

Problem Recording - screen capture isn't capturing correct window

Hi,
I'm working in Captivatre 7 on a Mac, and I'm trying to add a recording slide to do a tutorial in Photoshop. When I do the screen capture, and then finish, it takes me back to Captivate, and all the slides have the background of my captivate template instead of the Photoshop window. This hasn't happened to me before, and all the settings look the same - I've used screen capture in Captivate 5 & 6, but not 7 yet. When I went to try the screen capture in Captivate 6 also, it's doing the same thing. Some of the motions (but not all) are being captured correctly - the text captions are referencing the motions related to Photoshop. Here are some photos below - the orange background is my Captivate background template, and I've added some photos of my settings. Any help is appreciated!

Be sure you have a blank (child) master slide and assign that one to the slides. If the objects you are seeing now sit on the main master slide, you can still create a blank child master slide for which you uncheck the options 'Show Main Master Slide Objects' adn 'Use Master Slide Background' in the Properties panel of that child master slide.
If you want to have the captured slides fitting in the central rectangular space, you'll need another approach: knockout master slide:

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:

Issues recording audio during a screen capture demo

I'm working on a computer with a Windows 7 OS and Captivate 5. I have "stereo mix" enabled as default recording device.(Realtek high definition audio).My task at hand involves demonstrating a video captioning tool, so I need to be recording the video's audio as I step through the process of creating the captions in a web based environment. I must admit that what I am trying to accomplish works easily with other screen capture tools (even free tools) but I would really like to be able use Captivate 5 for this project and others upcoming that require the same functionality. As a last resort, I've also tried adjusting the audio settings within the project (selecting the "narration" option as shown) but I'm not having any luck getting the results I need. I'm really hoping that it's something simple I'm just missing, and that forum experts can nudge me in the right direction... Thanks very much for your input.

OK, I understand now.
But with Captivate, the bad news is that just playing a video file on the screen, and capturing what you see with Captivate will not result in the audio from the video file being captured at the same time.
Captivate records audio via the microphone channel in your computer. What you can do as a possible workaround is turn on your PC audio and place a USB microphone near your speaker to pick up the audio from the video.
Another trick I have sometimes used is to purchase a cable with two male 1/4 inch jacks on each end, then plug one end into the microphone port and the other end into the headphones port on your computer. Be careful to turn the sound down low on your volume control and do some tests to find the appropriate setting where it will record the sound at a good audible volume.
Hope this helps.

I've tried 2 different screen capture devices, and in both cases, audio stops recording after 20 or 30 seconds, but video is fine. The audio disappears

I've tried 2 different screen capture devices, and in both cases, audio stops recording after 20 or 30 seconds, but video is fine. The audio disappears with both programs. Does anyone know what is happening with my audio capture?

Update, I took the webcam home over the weekend and tried on my home network and the outcome was the same video fine - audio delayed, is this a Skype for desktop issue?

I am currently using an ipod touch 3. When i record in voice memos with the apple earphones(with an inbuilt mic) i can see on the screen that its recording; but when i hear it, its just a long beep. Need some help!

Does the mic work for other apps like Voice Control?
Does the mic work OK in other devices?
Have you tried it with another mic?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Problem recording sound during screen capture

Hi
I'm having a problem when recording screen captures in Windows XP SP3 in Boot Camp.
There is almost no sound. There is a very low sound level being picked up from the microphone.
The screen capture software I'm using is Capture Solution by SProsoft. I get the same result when using Windows Media Encoder, so I don't think it is a problem with the capturing program.
There is no problem with Windows XP making the sounds as I use it. It is just that I cannot record those sounds.
Thank you for any assistance you can give.

Hi ya I solved it..... I brought it back to the shop I got my phone in and they gave me a brand new one.
I had it for 11 months when I returned it and it was still covered by warranty hope this helps :)
