Video Recording on my Mac

How can I video record a sequence of events that occur on my Mac? For example if I want to make a movie of my opening folders, launching apps etc... how can I do this?

I use it and have no troubles. It loads at start up and just "waits" to be invoked. It has more uses than just screen captures, too. You can record nearly anything that plays on your Mac. I use it to capture some Flash files that QT normally couldn't play. Here is an example:

  • Rotate HD video recording on my Mac

    Not strictly an iPhone question, but I can imagine I'm not the only iPhone user one with this problem:
    I started to record a video holding my iPhone vertically, and when I realised this, I turned it horizontally. So now I have a five minute video in iPhoto, in an upright orientation, and from the 27th second - when I turned my iPhone - everything is sideways.
    I guess I have to split it at the 27th second, cropping the first part (loosing the HD resolution by doing this, but that's okay), and rotating the second part.
    What can I use to achieve this? I can't find anything in Quicktime Player 10.0 to do this, and at first sight not in iMovie either...

    Did you find a solution for this problem? i was able to do it in iMovie, but i am not sure if there was a degradation in video quality or not

    Well,
    I tried the "Internet Recovery" option and finally saw Mac OS X Mountain Lion's install page but after waiting 7 hours when I just thought its going to start installing, I got another progress bar with 36 hours remining time to download "Additional Components" then after progressing 2-3 hours, it shows "Unable to write installation something..., Contact Apple Care"
    Then I accidently rebooted the machine and now it seems Internet Recovery don't work anymore, it shows "support.apple.com - 40 something!" error, and finally when I tried to reboot using Recovery HD, I found it's gone as-well!
    To be honest, I don't know what to do now, I am and dissapointed... also I do not have any Apple Store nearby, there is an authorized country reseller almost 650/km far away from my residents and they even charges too high (like $250) for doing such repairs (as per phone conversation)
    If anyone have any idea or anything to help me with, please do share- I'd be eternally grateful!

  • I am running my canon camera on the EOS utility program for mac, and i was wondering if there is a keyboard shortcut to start video recording, instead of using the mouse.

    I am using EOS utility for MAC to run my canon camera at work. I have a foot switch connected to my macbook that allows me to take snapshots with my foot while i work ( i am a dentist and i have my camera hooked to a microscope). the way i did that is by programming a keyboard shortcut that snaps photos on EOS utility, to the foot switch software.
    So my question is: On EOS there is a video recording function, so i was wondering if there is a keyboard shortcut or if i can create a keyboard shortcut for the start/stop record function for video recording..

  • What is the best way to record video games on my mac

    what is the best way to record video games on my mac?

    I'm unclear about what you're asking - could you be a little clearer? I know you say that you want to "record video games" but I'm not sure if you're asking if you could, for instance, create a movie of video games as they're being played or what.

    • Only if your video camera supports it.  Depending on how your camera works, you may need to add preview software to your Mac to use this feature.
    • Alternatively, your camera may also be able to record directly into your Mac while you are monitoring the Mac's display.
    • If you are using a consumer camcorder that supports HDMI monitoring, a small HDTV might be an simpler solution than your Mac.  For an example of how this is done, see http://youtu.be/GVpSkZD6qE4.
    • The retailer who sold you your video camera may have other suggestions.
    • If you need more professional results, an external preview monitor will offer more capability on compatible cameras.

  • Help me pick a new video recorder

    I need a new video recorder. Please give me some suggestions in the $400-800 range. I have used a Hi-8 Sony, but the sound went, got old, etc.
    My primary use will be videos taken for coaching and my family, which I will put into iMovie and eventually burn to DVD through iDVD. I have been using iMovie 4, but I will upgrade if that would be better. The coaching movies are about 25 minutes with many, many clips, as they are short highlights (2-10 seconds each).
    I currently (and most likely for at least one more year) use an eMac 1.25 GHz G4 with 768 MB RAM and a superdrive.
    So, give me some good options. I like having a decent screen (my current one is a whopping 3"), as I often show athletes their form during practice, although that is not my top priority.

    Hi! Purds,
    You didn't say where you were from. I had to purchase a new camera last semester and having no job, I had no money. I went to the WALMART Website and was able to find a good camera at the lowest price. (About $50 cheaper than I could find the camera anywhere else!) They shipped it right to my house within three day.
    And make sure it has FireWire! Sony has their own version of FireWire, i.Link, but you have to make sure that you can get the proper cable to use on the Mac.
    Always buy the best camera you can afford!

  • Error when starting new video recording

    When I try to start a new video recording I receive the following error:
    The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -536870206.)
    I am using Quicktime Pro on an iMac running Mac OS X 10.6.5. Quicktime will work with iSight but not with my PS3 eye (usb webcam). I am able to choose the PS3 eye from Quicktime preferences and the video screen will show up with video from the PS3 eye (so I know that Quicktime recognizes the cam). But the error dialogue box appears immediately.
    Other information - I am using macam.component for Quicktime and the PS3 eye works perfectly with Macam.
    Has anyone received this error before?

    I have not, but I do not use PS3 eye. If it is a "UVC" (usb video class) device, it should work with any Mac running Mac OS X 10.4.9 or later _without additional software drivers_. Some unnecessary drivers can conflict with your Mac's software.
    If desired, you can remove the file macam.component from /Library/QuickTime and restart Mac to see if the PS3 eye can work with QuickTime without the additional driver.

  • Digital Video Recorder with Firewire 400 and new iMac

    I just got a new iMac which has only 1 firewire800 and no firewire 400 ports. My digital video camcorder has a firewire 400 cable to transfer taped recordings to the computer (I want to import using iMovie 09). So, do I simply need to buy a new firewire 800 cable that will plug into my digital camcorder? The reason I'm hesitant is that I've tried using a USB connection, and iMovie 09 didn't open and doesn't recognize that the digital camcorder is connected when I use USB. Does iMovie 09 just no longer recognize my several year old Samsung digital camcorder, or does it just not recognize it with a USB connection, and it will be fine if I get a firewire 800 connection that fits the new iMac? Is there another type of converter--e.g., a cable that allows a firewire 400 to plug in on one end and has the firewire 800 connection on the other end?
    Thanks

    Thanks for the reply. I went ahead and got a new cable and now I can plug for digital video camcorder into my new Mac. Unfortunately, as I feared, the Mac still doesn't recognize the camcorder. I checked the system profiler with the camcorder plugged in, and under Firewire Bus it reads Unknown Device:
    FireWire Bus:
    Maximum Speed: Up to 800 Mb/sec
    Unknown Device:
    Manufacturer: 0xF0
    Model: Unknown
    GUID: 0xF000FFFFFFFF
    Maximum Speed: Up to 400 Mb/sec

    Sub-units:
    Unknown Unit:
    Unit Software Version: 0x10001
    Unit Spec ID: 0xA02D
    Am I just out of luck--the new mac just doesn't recognize my slightly out of date digital video recorder? Or should I be able to get a driver to make it work?

  • How do I capture video recording made by DVD Handycam?

    Hi,
    I have used a Sony DVD Handycam as a second camera during a gig. I can't capture this to Final Cut Express 4, Not I to iMovie, either! I can watch the recording on my Mac via a USB cable in DVD player (maybe this isn't relevant). The camera has no firewire connection. Is it possible to export the files on my MacBook Pro to a format recognised by FCE. What format do I need for that? MPEG4? How do I do it?
    PS People on this forum have been very helpful before. Thanks again.
    Karl

    Software Method:
    Step 1: Make sure the disc is finalized in the camera.
    Step 2: Load the disc into a tray-loading DVD drive. NEVER, EVER put a miniDVD disc into a slot loading drive.
    Step 3: Use a program like MPEG Streamclip or DVDxDV to convert the DVD's VOB files into an editable format that works natively with your NLE. Typically that would be QuickTime DV/DVCPro.
    Hardware Method:
    Step 1: Make sure the disc has been finalized in the camera.
    Step 2: Connect a DVD player's analog outputs to a qualified DV device (DV camcorder, VTR or converter).
    Step 3: Connect the DV device's Firewire port to your Mac.
    Step 4: Capture in FCE as you would any other non-controllable video source.
    Tips for the future: don't use DVD camcorders to acquire footage that will be edited.

  • Best Screen Recording Software for Mac?

    Looking for recommendations on a good computer screen recording program, as I'm trying to make a tutorial video, and need to be able to record what I am doing on my computer screen.
    Would prefer free, but don't mind paying a bit - quality is most important. Any advice would be appreciated - thanks!

    without doubt - Screenflow
    why ?
    because, it is not only a 'grabber', but it includes an 'editor', drop-dead-simple as iMovie, which includes many features ESPECIALLY made for tutorials - e.g. you can zoom-in after recording without quality-loss, you can change cursor-size, highlite, 'print' pressed keys on screen, add a pic-in-pic (if you like your face in your tuts ) ..
    side-note: screen-grabs are off the standards, iM or FinalCut/express support! so, a built-in editor is a ++ ! (the exports/uploads from a SF-project are superb!)
    not cheap, but worth every cent!
