Screen Recording from Quicktime.

I cannot start screen recording from Quicktime. Every time I click on record or the triangle for options, the window underneath is selected. It's like my computer does not recognize tHas anyone else had this issue?
I am running the latest version of OSX 10.7.3 and have this issue on my iMac and Air.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. All I did was enter a fade in at the start and a fade out at the end. I didn't enter any transitions in the actual video. The screen recording coming from QuickTime is H.264/AAC. It just doesn't look right once it gets added into iMovie. It seems to have something to do with the cropping too maybe as I have to select Fit in Frame in my project so that it doesn't get cropped out. Even without exporting just playing my project in iMovie looks like poor quality without going to iTunes?
Is there no way to add fade in/out in QuickTime then I wouldn't even use iMovie? Thanks!

Full screen record in quicktime

How do I get Quicktime to record a full screen video that is already in the full screen mode. I "simply" want to know the sequence of how to engage Quicktime to record a full screen video if that's possible.
thanks

Hi APPLEAL,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like you want to record the screen using QuickTime. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
QuickTime Player 10.x: Record your computer’s screen
In QuickTime Player, choose File > New Screen Recording.
Choose options for the screen recording from the arrow pop-up menu.
If you want to record the entire screen, click anywhere on the screen to start the recording.
To stop the recording, click the Stop button, or press Command-Control-Escape.
Cheers,
Mario

No audio when uploading a screen recording via quicktime on mac to youtube.

I've used screen recorder via quicktime for upload to youtube it has both visual and audio when I've viewed it but after uploading to youtube the audio is missing. I'm new to mac so a complete novice. Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi
This is a bit unclear to me.
No audio when recording
No Video-editing program I know off play any feedback (at standard settings) while recording. FinalCut is even worse that it doesn't play the sound while importing from Camera either (one need to connect speakers to the Camera-audio-out to get this)
So first - I'm not sure if You can get audio out while recording in iMovie at all.
BUT
If there is no sound - When Your captured video is played back - then the problem is more severe and I would start with.
• Trashing iMovie pref and cache files
and see if that helps.
Please - be more descriptive - so that one can do the same actions to see if Your problem is Yours only or if it is the same on more Macs.

Can't stop "screen record" from menu bar. Bug?

When you begin a "screen record" in Quicktime X, there is supposed to be "stop recording" option next to the Help menu in the menu bar.. However, mine does not... The only way for me to stop recording is to use the key command...
Anyone else experience or resolve this bug?

I know it's supposed to be there, but what I'm saying is it is NOT there.. I've already seen the show me. That's why I'm asking if anyone else has seen this bug..

Where is a Screen Recording in QuickTime Pro?

Where is a Screen Recording in QuickTime Pro?

Your signature says Mac OS X 10.5.8. I am not sure that QuickTime Player screen recording is available in 10.5.8. It may have started in 10.6.
If it works on your system, in QuickTime Player you will find these commands under the File menu:
New Movie Recording
New Audio Recording
New Screen Recording
Edit: Oh, you're asking about QuickTime Pro. Not sure, sorry.

HELP

Hi,
Both my iChat 4 and my iChat 5 Save Video Snapshots to the Desktop.
There are no settings in iChat's Preferences to change this.
There are no Settings in the version of iPhoto I have that can "grab" the pic from iChat.
The Pic is Saved as a .jpeg
I do have some jpegs edited in Photoshop Elements 6 which do appear in iPhoto as and black items In Photos but display when double clicked. (Full Window)
This seems to be an issue with the way the pic is saved by one app and not displayed properly in the other.
I am curious how you are getting the pics direct to iPhoto ?

Importing screen capture from Quicktime X

I am in the process of making training videos for my job. For a couple videos I want to show how to access certain areas of a website. I have been doing screen captures of these using Quicktime X. They are recording at 1920x1200 with a frame rate around 9fps. My timeline in FCP will be 1920x1080 at 29.97, upper-field first. I will be working with pro res 422 from AVCHD camera files. For the life of me I can not get these screen captures into FCP. It says invalid format, and I'm guessing it has to do with the frame rate. I tried converting these screen captures to pro res 422 at 1920x1080 in Toast 10, and while they converted, the videos then played back super super fast in FCP, probably adjusting to the frame rate.
Can someone help me figure out a good way to do this?

There are a couple of things that will absolutely make you task rife with challenges; one is that 9fps will cause the screen capture to play back in a 29.97fps or even a 24fps video sequence way, way fast! Optimum solution is to capture at the same frame rate that you will be editing your training video in. Hopefully you can do that over and adjust the frames per second. The other issue is that your screen capture is not in a video resolution. Regardless, you should be able to set in the resulting video of the screen capture and keep the aspect ratio, and either size it to fill or fit within the 1920x1080 sequence frame. As for the frame rate difference, it's just extremely different, so you may need to conform it in Cinema Tools and then slow it down by using command- J (apple key + "J") and entering a percent under 100, somewhere around 30%.
So basically the best solution is to be able to do your screen capture at 29.97 fps but if you're past that opportunity, then conform the clips in Cinema Tools to 29.97 and slow the clips down.

When I screen record on quicktime with audio I keep getting echoes?

HI
I'm trying to make videos using QuickTime.So when I talk I get really high pitched echoes. Help?
PS. I also have a Skype so when my friend talks he also come up in the video.

Sounds like a full headset might be the way to go.
You could get a Y-splitter so both you and your friend could listen at the same time, and share a microphone. Either a USB microphone would work, or a regular analog microphone with the iMic USB adapter.
Many ways to skin the cat, but the basic idea is to prevent the speaker output from feeding back into the mic somehow. That's how echos happen.
Hope that helps!

Loud Fans when using Screen Recorder in QuickTime

When recording my screen in quick time my fans always kick into the highest gear. This only happens when recording my screen. They are so loud that I cant hear anything in the recording but the fan noise. Is this normal? Will it be fixed by using another program to record my screen???
Thanks in advance!

Is this normal?
It could be. Fan speed increases to dissipate increased heat. Depending on the number and type of CPUs available, area of screen being recorded, compression format being used, and the ambient room temperature, your system may be overheating causing the fan(s) to run faster. On the other hand, your heat sensors may be malfunctioning causing the fan(s) to run faster than they should/need to. Try reducing the ambient temperature of the room and see if that makes a difference.
Will it be fixed by using another program to record my screen????
Probably not. This is mostly a hardware thing.

Quicktime Player screen recording: 720p video is appearing as 480p max in Youtube

So I did a screen recording in QuickTime Player, after trimming I saved it to 720p in QuickTime Player. When I uploaded it to Youtube though, the max resolution I can select in the resolution options is 480p, so it's not as clear as my original.
I check the original video file and the resolution is 1160x648. So the video screen I selected to record was a bit short of 1280x720. Is that why YouTube downgraded it to a 480p video? Selecting an exact 1280x720 rectangle with QuickTime Player isn't possible for me. I can overshoot I guess and let QT player shrink it to 720p? Or is this some issue with Youtube and the mov file format from QT player?
To save me sometime, does any know how I can upconvert my mov video to the necessary resolution and/or format Youtube needs to support 720p playback at least?
Setup:
OSX Yosemite 10.10.2
QuickTime Player 10.4

This feels like there is some sort of error during save but I was wondering if a) anyone had experienced this or b) knew of a fix.
1) Have used the screen capture option in the past to, more or less, test how it worked. Unfortunately, my Snow Leopard system is currently tied up batch processing files so I can't re-check things at the moment.
2) How long are captures and how much time are you allowing between terminating the recording and forcing the application to quit? If I remember correctly, this is a 2-step process. In the first phase the screen is simply captured to your hard drive. In the second phase, the data is converted to H.264 compressed video and written to the target file container. If you force the app to quit prematurely, the target file is never properly updated/closed leaving it empty and/or unable to be opened. As to the controls, they remain deactivated until all of the data has been converted/written to the target file or you force the app to quit. The amount of time required to create the target output file is, of course, directly related to the duration of the screen capture.
Suggest you try making a very short screen capture and see if the test file is successfully created. If it is, allow more time for the process to complete on its own with longer captures. If the process is not successful, try a similar test using a different user account to see if the problem is local to the user account or system wide.

Cuts from Screen Recording do not export properly

I did a simple screen recording using Quicktime X. I used Mpeg Streamclip to convert it to the codec of my timeline. I inserted a few short cuts from the screen recording. Everything looked great. However, when I export the timeline, the cuts from the screen recording do not export with the set in and out points they were cut to. The cuts, and only the cuts, from the screen recording seemed to shift in time. Its as if FCP did a random slip edit to the screen recording cuts. really weird.
I then exported each cut to an individual self-contained quicktime file, and I got the exact same results. And the shifts in time were also exactly the same. really weird. Did Apple put some kind of restriction on using the screen recordings in FCP??
any suggestions on a workaround?

I sorta found a workaround myself. Instead of converting the entire screen recording clip in Mpeg Streamclip, I simply set the specific in and out points I wanted in Mpeg Streamclip and exported the clips that way. Once in FCP, there was no extra footage for the random slip edits to occur and the final export looked as it was intended. I am still interested in any other possible solutions.

Quicktime for full screen recording

Is there anyway I can do full screen recording using Quicktime. I can't seem to get it working when in full screen mode. Is there any keystrokes that I can use while in full screen mode?

What I meant was if I am playing a youtube video in full screen mode how do I capture that?
Update : OK I think I have this licked. I just click on the record button, click on the existing screen and then swipe to another space where the full screen video is playing. Cool.

I have two bugs. Quicktime don't record screen recording and Safari don't open correctly Feed Rss

I can't record a screen recording using Quicktime and Safari can't open feed Rss.
See my video for more details

Safari no longer supports RSS. You'll need an RSS app like NetNewsWire

What is quicktime screen recording default save location?

I made a screen recording in Quicktime (OS X 10.8), and now I can't figure out where it saved the file. Yes I know (now) that I could have changed the save location/name in the options before recording, but I didn't. I just recorded. Now I'm unable to locate where the actual file is.
The File menu doesn't have any Save options, so I can't save it again. I have duplicated it, but now I just have a copy that I likewise do not know the location of.
Finder->All My Files doesn't show it.
Quicktime Help Center tells me how to record, and that I can change the save location in options, but it doesn't say where the default save location is.

Nice! I found my own answer. There's much I think and feel about this issue that I'm keeping to myself, but you can draw your own conclusions about usability.
Despite there being no Save, Save As..., etc. options in the File menu for Quicktime (with this recently recorded movie as the active window), the file was not yet saved.
To save the file, one must attempt to close the recorded movie window. Then a file save dialog appears. *boggle*
