Screen Recording Video in QTX Not Smooth/Jerky

Hi. I have been experimenting with the Screen Record function in the Snow Leopard QT version and after I stop the video, the playback is a bit jerky, not smooth frame rate and sometimes the screen flashes on and off to black for about a second. The video records smooth until I check the playback.
What I have tried doing is; play a song in iTunes ver 9.0.2, turn on the Visualizer function, hit the Screen record button and record 2-3 minutes of video.
Any idea on what I might try to correct the glitch? There doesn't seem to be a Preferences that I can find like in QT 7. Not sure how to change settings in QTX.
Thanks for any help. I have a white MacBook, 2.2 GHz, 4GB RAM, 160 GB HD OSX 10.6.1.

If  you require interaction you would have to use a full remote desktop solution as Skype doesn't have the functionality.  Teamviewer offers this as well as a built-in proprietary recording option but natively converting those files to standard formats usually resorts to using tons of hard drive space requiring additional compression and conversion time to get the size down.
If you want to use Skype and record the desktop session including audio, the best way would be to use 3rd party screen capturing software.  This can you can record the whole screen or just parts of it.  There are also 3rd party add-ons that will capture the individual Skype streams but I find screen capturing software to be more universal and customizable.

  • I have a new unlocked iphone3gs. I cannot get the video to work. When I try to record video I am not offered any options. It films until I tap the red button, but then everything just freezes. I

    I have a new (from Apple) unlocked iPhone3gs. I cannot get the video recorder to work. When I take video I am not offered any options at the start or the end of filming. The screen freezes when I hit the red stop button. But that's it. I have to hit the home button to get out of that. And none of the v-recordings can be found on my phone anywhere.
    Also I'm having trouble with Bluetooth. My Mac says it's paired with the phone, but the phone says not; even though It accepts the pairing code from the Mac. I'm getting very frustrated with these problems. I came on here to find the user manuel, but can only find the fingertip manuel and the product license manuel. Both of which I have in hard copy.
    And the most annoying thing is the sound on the calls. I can hardly hear the caller.
    Anyone got any helpful advice?
    Thanks, Elizabeth

    Robert or Elizabeth...
    Sync media using iTunes, not Bluetooth.
    When the screen freezes on the iPhone, try "resetting".
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    And this link is for the iPhone 3GS user guide >  http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPhone_iOS3.1_User_Guide.pdf

    Serously doubt this is a "new" iPhone 3GS. More likely refurbished.

  • Screen Recording Video - Which Preset do I use?

    Hi. I am using a free screen recording software...I've tried both CamStudio and Debut...and I was wondering which Preset I should use when I create a new project? I'm thinking Hard Disk, Flash Memory Camcorder but I don't know for sure...
    I am having trouble getting the video to export sharp and clear. The videos are good quality when I record but something seems to be happening to the files when I import them into Premiere and add my animations. When I export back out as .flv (to add to website) they are extremely low quality.
    I'm wondering if this has to do with the preset from the very beginning. I've worked on videos within Premiere before but they were using actual footage from the video camera...not using Screen Recording devices.
    I've tried exporting the files as .AVI, .MOV, .MPG, etc. and still get the same low-quality export.
    Thank you.
    Leslie

    Leslie,
    I cannot tell you the Preset directly, but think that you might find some useful information in the links in this ARTICLE.
    Good luck,

  • Screen recording-video pauses while audio continues

    When I make a screen recording, the audio and video are playing perfectly (I use soundflower for the audio). However, when I go to watch my screen recording, it starts off like normal but about 30 seconds into the video, the video pauses while the audio continues playing like normal. Any reason as to why this is happening? I'm not just recording my screen but also a video from a website, don't know if that makes a difference.
    Thanks

    I am having the same issue I posted this elsewhere
    I have a Mid 2010 Mac Mini Server (full specs below) and very recently it has developed a strange problem.  I'll be watching something on iTunes and the video will stop but the audio continues.  If I move the mouse and click on the screen the video suddenly plays very fast untill it catches up with the audio and then for a while it will play normally.  I can go through this process 3-4 times an hour before I give up and stream to my iPad instead.
    in the beginning it only happened when I was using the HDMI cable but recently it happens when the mini VGA adaptor is plugged in too.
    its beginning to be very frustrating so any help would be truly appreciated.
    thanks

  • Advice for Making Screen Recorded Videos for Premiere

    I want to use some screen recording software to record some tutorials on using various features of a website. The video will later be imported into CS5.5 where I will edit it, add transitions, titles and voice overs. The final videos will be uploaded to YouTube.
    1. Can anyone recommend a size that I should use when recording my screen? Should I start as high as possible and later downconvert?
    2. What is a good size to upload to YouTube these days for something like this where I want to make sure the user will be able to see the details of a link, button, etc.?
    3. Does Premiere hae any built in way for me to create arrows and use them to point to different parts of my video or will I need to make these in Photoshop and import them into Premiere?
    Thanks!!!

  • Videos In Youtube Not Smooth

    I recently upgraded my computer to i7 4770k, 16gb ram and 780ti, windows 7 pro 64bit etc, its pretty much almost top of line pc right now but since i moved from xp to 7, youtube in Firefox is choppy and not smooth like before, its amazing on internet explorer but not firefox. I tried to disable hardware accel in both flash and in options menu. I have latest drivers and tried to reinstall flash and firefox, no luck. I also disable all my add ons and still same.

    Yes, I have tired to disable both in flash and option menu, I also started it in safe mode and normal with all apps disabled. Still no luck, I will wait for the update and see what happens.

  • Screen recording in gnome is not working

    I'm having trouble running the screen recording feature in gnome. When I press ctrl + alt + shift + r the desktop is not recorded and no file is created. I have installed the following gstreamer packages https://gist.github.com/anonymous/62aa75202f798821ab38. I'm running GNOME Shell 3.14.2 in a fully updated archlinux.
    Related topic (the solution didn't work for me): https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=120134
    Any ideas on how to fix the issue?

    Actually, "Send Clipboard" does function. However, I was trying to paste into a Mathematica notebook. Apparently, Mathematica maintains its own clipboard, and does not get the message when you Send Clipboard. The workaround is to first paste into another application (TextEdit is handy), which correctly recognizes the clipboard you send. If you then copy from TextEdit and paste into Mathematica, it works. I'm sure that if I chased it down, Apple and Wolfram would blame each other, so I won't waste my time ;o)

  • How do I change the settings in quick time player to screen record video using less hard drive space?

    how do I change the settings in quick time player to use less hard drive space when performing a screen record? When I screen record a video lets say from vimeo, QTP seems to use a lot of hard drive space.  Please help.  Are there settings some where to adjust to slim down the video size? Thanks for your input.

    I just did a short SR test, first I exported to 480p, then I saved the file. Now I have 2 files one 11.9mb (export) and the other 42.8mb (save). I then took the save file and performed an export on it to 480p.  Guess what, it saved at 11.9mb.  So it seemed to save me 3/4 of the space.  Lets see what happens with a 17 minute SR.  Thanks!
    Any suggestions on getting the sound louder with the SR?
    For anyone else ever seeing this post, for me the best was using an external speaker whether wired or bluetooth, facing the left side of the computer where the internal mic hole is.   Good Luck!

  • Photo Booth froze while recording video and did not save

    Hi-
    I was in the middle of recording a video on Photo Booth for a school project. Before you go any further- I now know that I should have used iMovie or Quick Time to record, but I was having the same problem with freezing/lagging video. So I decided on using Photo Booth because it is what I am most familiar with.
    It was about a 20 minute video and I noticed that the picture would freeze every so often, even right after I began recording, so I know it is not a size issue. I also do not have anything in my Photo Booth tray or library, so I know I have enough space.
    Here's my issue: I pressed stop when I was done recording. But I got the infamous "spinning wheel of death." It didn't go away, even after 10 minutes so I force quit. I have located the recording in Finder. It says the name of the video, and the size, but the thumbnail is just the default QuickTime icon, not an icon.
    How do I recover this? It's extremely important that I do. Hoping EZ Jim will respond!  Thank you so much in advance.
    I am using a MacBook Pro 13" from 2011.

    l_kleiman wrote: ... I should have used iMovie or Quick Time to record...
    Yes, you should have.  Do so in future recordings that are important or longer than a couple of minutes.
    l_kleiman wrote:... the picture would freeze every so often,...
    Because your problem is the same with all three video recording applications, we can rule out application software as the cause of your trouble.  Here are some possible causes and what you can do to try to solve them:
    (1) Video recording is processor intensive.  If you are also running many more apps than only the video app while you are recording, your Mac's processor may be working near its limit.
    Restarting your Mac before recording video ensures you will not have interference from multiple user accounts or widgets (unless they are included as  > System Preferences... > Account > Login iTems.
    Remember that things like widgets and automatic checks for Mail, TimeMachine backups, iCal alarms, etc., and other background activities also add to your Mac's workload. The actions for the apps mentioned (and for most other such apps) can be disabled in "Preferences" for the apps that control them.
    Disconnect all peripherals while you are recording video, and make your record monitoring window as small as possible. These suggestions help reduce processor power requirements while recording.
    (2) Installing the maximum amount of RAM your MBP can use may help you. Your retailer can help you check what you have and install more if necessary.
    (3) Alternatively, the cause of your symptoms May lie in your system software.
    Consider the information in OS X Mountain Lion: If your Mac runs slowly.  It applies equally to your OS X Lion system.
    If you are not already running the latest Lion version, apply the OS X Lion Update 10.7.5 (Client Combo) update.)
    l_kleiman wrote:... the picture would freeze ... even right after I began recording, so I know it is not a size issue. I also do not have anything in my Photo Booth tray or library, so I know I have enough space...
    Neither freeze timing nor Photo Booth tray or library space tells you whether your startup disk has enough free ("Available") space for best operation.
    Use your Mac's Finder > File > Get Info menu command to check available free space.  Be sure you have LOTS of room (I keep 75% of my disk space free when recording video) on your MBP's disk.
    Capture your movie clips on your MBP's startup disk rather than on an external drive which is almost certainly slower.
    l_kleiman wrote:... when I was done recording... I force quit... but the thumbnail is ...not an icon.  How do I recover this?...
    If something here doesn't work, http://bit.ly/1An6zjD, your only remedy it to record the video again.
    l_kleiman wrote:... Thank you so much in advance...
    You're welcome.  If you need to post back for other suggestions, please tell us the following:
    0. What Lion version number you are using? You can find the version with the  > About This Mac menu command.
    1. Are you recording your video subjects in bright lighting?
    2. Did your Mac ever record video properly? If so, what happened immediately before the problem first appeared? (new software, hardware, etc?)
    3. How much free space is "Available" on your startup disk?
    4. How much RAM is installed in your Mac?
    5. If you added RAM, what brand (Apple, Crucial, Other World, etc.) did you install?
    6. Have you used Apple Hardware Test to verify your RAM is all working?  (If you don't know how to use AHT, see your MBP's User Guide.)
    We will offer more specific suggestions based on the details in your response.

  • QuickTime's Screen Recording; Video AND audio?

    Hi, I just now figured out how to use QuickTime player to record footage of my computer screen.
    It works well, but the only problem is, that it doesn't record the sound from the speakers!
    Does anyone know how to fix that?

    stuff man guy wrote:
    no, i know that, but the thing is, there is no setting to just simply record the audio without the use of line-in to the headphone port.
    If you want to record your computer's screen and internal audio, you'll need to use a third-party capture utility such as Ambrosia Software's Snapz Pro. QuickTime X Player, unless there's a workaround I've not come across, does not capture internal audio.

  • Not Smooth, Jerky & Slow.

    Is anyone having this problem? Got leopard, set up my dock to magnify and automatically hide and show dock. As i tested, it lagged. Literally only had finder running. Turned off magnification and doesn't lag UNTIL you open 4 or 5 or more apps.. At the same time expose lags as-well as spaces. Really ruins the experience. Never had this problem with Tiger

    Greetings,
    In my particular case, I have had a smooth ride so far. I did an upgrade on this Macbook, and each of the installation methods on five of my other machines.
    I have Pages, MSN IM, Numbers, iTunes, and iPhoto all open, right now, and the magnification, and the Genie effect are smooth as they can be. I have 2 Gig of Ram in this 2.16 Gig MacBook. Of course the more you load up, the slower the reaction time will be, it all depends on available memory, but as far as jerkiness, or being quirky goes, I have not seen that on any of my machines, so far.
    I did notice with one of my machines that after I did an upgrade, I was sure that it should be quicker, so I backed up everything, and did a fresh load, by repartitioning and the disk, same sizes, just a different name. I reinstalled all the software that it had before, but it is noticeably faster and the space required was a bit less.
    I won't use the upgrade method any longer, I like the speed difference and it's nice to have a clean drive/load. I'm sure not everyone is likely to see it this way, but to each his own.
    I hope this helps in some small way. Have a Grand Day.
    Cheers,
    M.

  • Sound for recording video and audio not working

    I have tried everything to get the sound to work.  I have reinstalled the audio driver.  When I go to soundrecording.exe to see if I can record sound it gives me a message "An audio recording device cannot be found."  Please help this is driving me crazy.

    well, since people can hear you on a call, it's not a hardware problem with the microphone.
    It appears to be something wrong with your recording apps -- the camera (in the case of video) and whatsapp.
    First attempt would be to:
    a) install another camera app with video capability and see if IT will record audio. and
    b) uninstall and reinstall whatsapp to see if that fixes the problem.
    If that doesn't work, to a backup, then try a hard reset and re-install the apps one by one, confirming that recording works after each install.

    Hi Sansony,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand you would like to record audio from the headphones you connected to your computer. When recording audio with QuickTime Player, you can choose to use the built-in microphone, an external microphone you’ve connected, or a microphone from a connected Apple display. Please use the following article as a reference.
    Mac Basics: QuickTime Player creates, plays, edits, and shares video and audio files
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4024
    Clicking the triangle icon gives you additional options, such as letting you choose whether to use the built-in microphone on your Mac, an external microphone you've connected to your Mac, a microphone from a connected Apple display, or the option to simply use no microphone at all. The triangle also allows you to adjust the finished quality of your screen recording, select whether or not your mouse clicks are shown during the recording (the pointer is highlighted when you click), and to select what location (on your Mac) to save your screen recording when finished.
    Have a great day,
    Joe
