Screen Recording FPS Problem

I did a screen recording (lasted over 30 minutes), and it plays back just fine. It is about 1.5 GB. However, when I import the movie into any Adobe program (Premiere CS6 or AE CS6), the fps suddenly drops to 4.00 fps. Interpreting the footage as 30fps results in a sped up clip. How can I fix this? I am currently attempting to convert the file with Compressor to a higher fps format. I think it might have something to do with bit rate?

I don't know if this will help you Kimberlee, but i tried a different process:
1. Screen recording in QuickTime > Export to iMovie.
(I wanted to zoom in during certain parts of the recording.)
2. From iMovie > Export to YouTube.
Problem fixed... no more sped up clip.

It's says format not recognized on Quick Time Player..
If I use another player. It says can not play Quick Time Player format
which it just said was not recognizes by Quick Time Player.
So round and round I go.

Screen recording flickering problem, plz help!

Ever since I've upgraded to Lion i can't record me playing games (for example GTA: San Andreas) without the movie suffering from a huge amount of flickering, why? Link to example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iXRRCaJhbc

Lot's of issues with Lion, it's a new OS and third party drivers and software need to be tweaked for it.
One must remmeber that all three, hardware, operating system and software must be compatible.
Change one and all heck breaks loose.

Epiphan screen record imported to PP CS5 problems

Hello,
I am using the Epiphan VGA2PCI-e internal screen recorder to record an external device. External device is running at 60Hz and the recorder is too. I am getting a very smooth .avi clip. I used the compressor that they recommended "Epiphan recommends using ffvfw MPEG-4 Codec for signal capture."
When imported into PP CS5 and increase the scale I get this:
Basically it is blurry unlike the .avi played in WM player.
I setup the sequence like this:
Editing Mode: Desktop
Timebase: 60 fps
square pixel
Progressive scan
checked Maximum render quality
Is this a terrible compressor / codec to use?
Why does the .avi look great but terrible when imported?
Thanks in advance

DUDE - you and I are having the EXACT same problem. See my post: Capturing webcam as DVAVI type-2
I'm using one of ephiphans VGA to USB devices too. YES - every codec I've tried is crap in Premiere and After effects, even though it plays fine in Windows Media. In After Effects, I got repeated, jerky frames etc. And rendering it didn't help. So, I re-encoded the whole thing in Media Encoder. It played fine in AFX then, the problem is that it encodes at about a rate of 10hours/per hour of video.
You don't have to use the Epiphan software to capture, as your computer sees the device as just an ordinary webcam. It seemed like an easy thing: just download the cedocida DV codec, load it in to any number of software titles and capture as DVAVI type 2. As a 2nd choice, I'd take H.264, as long as it plays back smoothly in Premiere or AFX. I've tried both (with DV codec just mentioned and the x264vfw codec). Terrible results either way. I've tried Virtual dub, Captureflux, Epiphan, Debut Video and GraphEditplus. Failure in every case.
I'm suspicious that our problem may stem from the inconstant frame rates that the epiphan device spits out. Debut video allows you to change the frame rate of the device. It thought this would fix it - setting it at 29.97 or 30. But it doesn't. The software crashes. I also had high hopes for GraphEditPlus, as the software allows so much flexibility. But so far, I have not figured out how to import the DVAVI type2 codec. And I don't know how to force the frame rate in graphedit either, but I haven't looked in to this much.
Oh, and here's the Cedocida codec: http://www.free-codecs.com/download/cedocida_dv_codec.htm
Epiphan can see it, but it can't encode to it because of the frame rate (gives an error message). I haven't tried the Panasonic codec, but I've heard it's outdated and really buggy anyway.
I still think our best bet is software that can force the frame rate somehow, whether with the DV codec or H.264
I am working pretty much full-time trying to find a solution to this problem, as I need something ready to go by next Monday. If you find a fix - PLEASE POST IT!!!

How do I set a fps rate in Quicktime's screen recording?

I've been trying to record my self playing League of Leagions on my mac with quicktime's screen recorder but my problem is that when I'm not screen recording I have 60 fps in the game, when I turn on the screen recorder and it drops to 15-20 fps. How can I fix this? I've already tried turning it down to medium instead of having it on high but that only brings me back to about 25 fps. It's also recording about 15-20 fps so even if I manage to play like this, the video still looks like crap.

I would swear that I used to be able to do this but in 10.3 I cannot. Of course I am trying to prepare for a big presentation right now so this means that either my memory created a fantasy or Apple downgraded QT!!

Problems converting screen recording for DVD

I have made a screen recording using Quicktime and also Camtasia for Mac. I am recording live currency charts and want to use this in a DVD but I can not find the proper combination of recording and exporting. I can export a good copy that when watched in Quicktime is excellent but when I try to render it for DVD quality it is blurry. I would appreciate any help here. This needs to be the highest quality possible.
Thanks

Look into Toast, Visual Hub & Video Monkey took the place of Visual Hub.

Screen record more fps QuickTime X?

Hi,
With QuickTime X, you can do a screen recording. It works fine, except for that it seems to have a really low frame rate. Moving things look all jerky. Is there a way to turn up the frame rate? On the window to make a new screen recording there is a little arrow pointing down and it gives different options. Under "Quality", I have "High" selected. Do you just have to buy QuickTime Pro or Screenflow or something to get a higher frame rate, or can I turn this up?

Although you can't directly choose the frame rate, QTX does allow for one adjustment that may help. "High" refers to the image quality, not the video frame rate. If you choose "Medium" instead, the image quality will decrease (perhaps imperceptibly) but the frame rate will rise.

Problem importing quicktime "screen recording"... Please Help.

I've made a screen recording using the "screen recording" feature on the new quicktime 10.0. I would like to edit this video file in FCP but I cannot get it imported into my project. I've tried to convert this file using Quicktime pro 7.6.3 export but I can't seem to get it right.... Any help here is appreciated.

I believe that QT feature records in h.264.
You will need to convert it to an appropriate editing format
Try using MPEG Streamclip

Quicktime player screen recording prefs

Hi,
Since the upgrade to Mavericks I noticed the screen recording file size has increased by a factor of at least 5.
In the Lion, I had the option to set the Quality from High to Medium, that option is missing now from the Screen Recording drop down options.
Looking at previous screen captures, I saw it used about 2.5 FPS, whereas now it uses about 60 FPS. That is most probably what's making the file size so big.
Is there any way to tweak those options, especially FPS but also the Sound (I need Mono and the default is Stereo).
Thanks,
Adrian

I can't help but wonder why they even botherd making the video recording software if they diidn't include audio .
I tend to consider such features add-ons because to appeal to novice users because the features are incomplete as far as functonality is concerned or too dependent on the CPU power of the platform on which it is used. This is why I tend to use dedicated import and/or screen capture applications. Normally, I would recommend using an app like Snapz Pro X from Ambrosia ($69) but they too are having problems updating or replacing their audio "kernel extension" following system audio changes made in the Lion OS release. ScreenFlow ($99) is another good screen capture app but it includes a number of editing features that many users do not want or for which they are not willing to pay such a high price. I personally amd looking at what, for me, is a new app listed in an article URL posted by QTKirk. The app is called Screenflick and lists for $29. I am interested in it because they claim you can tap into user events like key presses (e.g., use of keyboart shortcuts) and highlight/include them in your captures. (I.e., this would be very handy for the makie of "quickie" tutorials.) In any event, I have not tried this app so I can't yet recommend it based on personal use... but it might be worthing looking at if you plan to purchase such a utility. (And yes, it does claim to support the audio capture of both system audio and/or a user selectable mic source.)

Higher Quality screen recording

Hey, I need to make a screen recording. I already have the soundflower trick for computer audio and that helped a bunch, but what I really want to know, is how can I record with QT and get up to 720p quality?
things I have already tried:
-Basically everything on the app store. there are quite a few applications that CLAIM to be able to do what i want, but none have yet succeded.
-Quicktime pro 7. It's not free and has the same quality issues as QT.
-snapz pro x. now this is an amazing option, the only problem is that the visual effects I plan to record with this are quite taxing when it comes to computer performance, so i need the recording software to display the lag in real time when im recording so i can adjust the settings acordingly. So for example:
my computer (while not recording) can display these affects smoothly. however, when I am recording the FPS drops significantly. quicktime displays this dip in frames to me by slowing down what i see on my display (what will be in the video) Snapz however will continue displaying high FPS while the video i just recorded might have dropped significantly. I know it's a bit of a specific problem, but there you go.
-bootcamping and trying to run fraps. simply doesnt work. the program the effects are on doesnt work on bootcamp. there are other reasons that were explained to me but i cant be bothered to write them here because they are very technical and long winded.
I know this is all very specific but i have one more requirement... I would like to spend $20 or less. I know its a lot, but im depending on the fantastic apple community to come through.
thanks,
hemmy1416

I have the same question, and have looked at the answers here. I am not trying to answer your question, just add to it.
I have used snapz pro x and find that I like that way quicktime displays whats on your screen with the same amount of lag that will be in the finished video, while snapz does not. surely there is a way, deep in preferences or maybe even in terminal, that will enable me to take higher quality images in my screen recordings. I find the audio is fine but the image is what I have a problem with. I dont have the 100+ dollars to spend on other screen recording software, and would really appreciate some help.
thanks,

Why is quicktime screen recording playback choppy?

I'm trying to record gameplay on my computer screen with quicktime's screen record feature, but when I go back and watch it, it is really choppy and skips some parts.
I have a 27 inch iMac (Late 2009)
3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB Memory
Snow Leopard OS
I'm not sure if my computer is not powerful enough for such a task, or if quicktime 10.0 isn't capable of smoothly recording gameplay.
I've tried lowering graphic settings in the game and switching the recorder to medium quality, but no matter what the video is still choppy, distorted, and skips.
Please help!

I'm not sure if my computer is not powerful enough for such a task, or if quicktime 10.0 isn't capable of smoothly recording gameplay.
I've tried lowering graphic settings in the game and switching the recorder to medium quality, but no matter what the video is still choppy, distorted, and skips.
The main problem is that the CPU power is divided between both the rendering of what is displayed on the screen and simultaneously recording that screen redering. Further, the app is programmed with a more or less fixed recoding data rate dependent on the recording quality setting and screen area to be recorded. Basically, the "scratch" file captue data rate on my systems may vary from a low of about 20 Mbps to a high on the order of nearly 80 Mbps. Since the recoding data rate is more or less fixed for each recording session, the QT X screen capture routine varies the frame rate in response to the amount of CPU power that is available for recording. Thus, if you check the playback frame rates for your files, you will probably see relatively low fps which produce the "chopply" playback. You will probably also note that the lower quality recording setting produces a somewhat higher frame rate with slightly smoother playback than the HQ mode. That is because the Photo JPEG medium efficiency codec is less CPU intensive than the MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) high efficiency video codec which produces better video quality in a smaller file package.
The normal method for improving the smoothness of final playback is to decrease the area of your scratch recording which, in turn, tends to increase the frame rate of your scratch file providing a smoother playback potential. Some apps allow you to select and record a given area of the screen at its current resolution and/or record the display at a "scaled resolution" to reduce the surface area actually being recoded. Other apps only record the screen at its "native" resolution with or without the ability select a specific area of the screen for recording. Still others may allow you to record "objects" such as a gaming window which may or may not already be scaled by the user to selected fraction of the entire display area. In short, what you can do to increase the frame rate and smooth playback may vary drastically depending on the specific screen capture app use. QT X v10.2 allows recording of both a user selected area or a "scaled" display rendering to improve the frame rate but I rarely use it. I would normally use the moderately priced ScreenFlick app instead for simple projects or an app like Snaps Pro X or ScreenFlow for more complex screen capture projects.

After exporting screen recording, just shows a black video.

I've recorded an hour and a half of screen recorded footage. it plays back just fine. It exports fine too! the problem is, once I try to open it after exporting it to desktop,iTunes etc., it doesn't have audio or video. Just a black screen for the whole duration. it'll still play, but it plays all black, no audio... Ultimately, I just want it on my third generation iPad. It wont play back with iTunes, on my iPad or even with Preview. I've tried exporting it in iPad format and in normal 720P mode. so .m4v and .mov .My iMac is 1080P so I should be able to export a 720P screen recording. I was thinking that was the problem. it wont show video to a 480P video when I exported it 720P.. i didn't wanna export 1080P cause it was like 9 GB! any help please? i've messed around with this for days.

Hi ChuckSott
Some questions to help us help you!
# Which websites are causing this problem? A few examples would be grand!
# Does this problem occur in FF35 for Android?
# If you could post a screenshot of the tab's full display being blacked out that would be super helpful
# Have you tried temporarily uninstalling all the add-ons in Tools -> Add-ons? Sometimes add-ons break Firefox!
# Finally what version of Android OS are you using? (ice cream sandwich 4.0, jellybean 4.1-4.3, kitkat 4.4? etc)

Quicktime Player unresponsive while screen recording. Help!

Hello. I often upload youtube videos with QuickTime Player and Final Cut Pro X. 2 days ago, I noticed a problem with quicktime player. Whenever I try to screen record, about 2 mins and 30 secs of recording, QuickTime Player becomes unresponsive. I am running on the new version of OSX Mavericks on a MacBook Pro. Thanks for concerning your time to help me fix this problem.

Thanks for the tip on the stop record function icon on the top menu bar. Its disappointing that the new program with Mavericks doesn't keep the the player control box open when you are recording. This may have been in response to some people complaining that the box can get in the way of the recording, although elsewhere it is said that even though it looks like it gets in the way it actually won't show up in the recording.
Regardless of your preference, I think some of us would ideally like to be able to see the window at times so that we can verify that the sound levels are coming through (its a royal pain to record an hour and find out later that no sound was recorded) and to potentially pause recording to remove sections where material is occuring that is of no interest (ie they took a break or need to look for something). The stop button literally stops the recording and no longer gives you the option to RESUME.
The only thing that I found that does work although it is VERY CLUMSY is that if you attempt to quit Quicktime the window with all the controls will show up. If you hit cancel that window will stay there and allow you to do what you want. Now I suspect all the messages that say DO YOU WANT TO END RECORDING are likely to show up in your recording, but I guess you can trim that out. What would make a lot of sense is for them to have the option to view the control box in the View pull down menu.
Oh well. Any one else found any other ways to manage the quicktime screen recordings without being able to access the control window?
