Video Screen Capture Software and FCP

I am shooting a video and need to incorporate some video screen capture software. There will be an audio overlay, so I do not need to record audio simultaneously while recording. I will be encoding with H.264.
What should I use?
Thank You!

iShowU and ScreenFlow are too very popular capture utilities.
I prefer the latter.

  • Video screen Capturing compatible with FCP!!!

    Hello,
    I recently captured a lot of footage using Snapz Pro X to create a tutorial for a website. After importing it into FCP, it wants to render everything, all the time, for every small change. These render take hours and hours for the smallest change. What should I do? The Snapz Pro X quicktime files are not FCP compatible. Is there a new program to get high quality video screen captures or a way to convert the files I have now? Any help would be extremely great.
    Thanks
    Erik

    In iShowU I am recording at 1440x1080 30p, and capture area is same as video. Then I am importing the quicktime files into FCP. The sequence settings are Apple ProRes 422 1440x1080 60i. Capture Preset is HDV -Apple ProRes 422. The sequence settings are Frame Size 1440x1080 as well as aspect ratio. Something somewhere is off and its driving me mad. haha
    Thanks

  • Video Screen Capture Software

    Does anyone have any advice on their favorite screen capture software? I've done some searches and seen reference to a few types (iShowU, CaptureIt!, ScreenFlow, etc.). There are a bunch of options and I'm not stoked with SnapZ Pro, which I had been using before.
    Is there a consensus on the best program or is it more of a favorite flavor thing?
    Thanks,
    Stef

    iShowU can do pretty well everything and anything.

  • How to Get Proper Video Screen Captures (Screencasts) of Photoshop and Lightroom in Win?

    Hello. I would like to get proper screen captures of Lightroom and Photoshop on Win 7/64, showing all screen elements as you see them. I tried FastStone Capture 8 and SnagIt 11.1, but they have various differing issues. Do you have a good hint?
    What's more: In my screen capture, i also want a mouse-click-sound each and every time the mouse is clicked. This is not "system audio", because the computer doesn't play a sound for every ordinary click. The capture software must add that sound. (I'm aware i can add the sound manually in post production, but want it recorded together with video.)
    Experience with Faststone Capture 8's video captures:
    I get well usable footage
    Does optionally record mouse-click-sound for each click, with adjustable volume
    Does not properly record some elements of Photoshop or Lightroom screens:
      - cursors sometimes look rough or double-sized 
    - Lightrooms "TAT (Target Correction Tool)" disappears while being dragged on the image
    - the color selector box of Lightroom's Adjustment Brush is not shown, while the cursor working within that color selector box is shown
    - Lightroom's three-second-splash-message after Undo etc. is not shown
    (All these missing elements do show up in *still* captures with Faststone Capture. They also *do* show up in video captures done with SnagIt, see below)
    Experience with Snagit 11.1's video captures:
    Does properly capture all those elements that FastStone does *not* capture (listed above)
    Does *not* optionally include a mouse-click-sound for each and every mouse click (they record "system audio", but a sound on every click is not "system audio", so a regular click on a menu item has no sound)
    Videos are less smooth, cursor sometimes "jumping"
    Now, do you know a screen capture software for Win 7 that can
    properly record *anything* that's seen within Lightroom and Photoshop
    and automatically add a mouse-click-sound for each and every click i do
    and produce smooth footage without "jumping cursors"?
    Thanks for your real-life experiences!

    Myles, thanks again, here are my findings with Camtasia:
    Camtasia:
    DOES record overlays like adjustment brush's colour selector
    .camrec format isn't offered for recording, only .trec and .avi (on Win 7), but trec is usable just as .camrec i guess
    Exported MP4 looks blurry and has colour blotches, that are not visible in the initial recording, only after exporting; this doesn't change at all after setting very high quality MP4 options; i guess i didn't look properly
    i see how to add mouse-click sounds; i don't like the sound they provide so much; maybe it can be exchanged.
    Other tests:
    Camstudio:
    mouse click sounds very weird (my mistake?)
    does NOT record LR overlays like adjustment brush's colour selector
    Screen-cast-o-matic, optionally online, free version:
    DOES record overlays like adjustment brush's colour selector. Mouse-click-sound not in free version. "System audio" is promised in paid version, but that does not necessarily mean a sound for each mouse-click. Contacted support for more
    Straightforward using, lots of short video tutorials (useful for absolute beginners).
    Free downloaded program 1.4 only works on primary monitor, the online launched app also records on secondary monitor
    Don't see option to record a "window", only set resolutions
    More "jumpy" than Faststone
    More interesting pro-version seems to be rent-only-licenced, at 15 USD per year, not a one-time-buy

  • PC VIdeo Screen Capture for Editing in FCP?

    Hello,
    I was asked to video screen capture a program on a pc laptop for a tutorial, and to mix it in with my footage that was shot 1440-1080, 30f with my Canon XHA1. Does anyone know the best program I can use to video screen capture the pc, that is professional, and not expensive? Or any methods of preparing it for FCP?
    Any help would be great!
    Thanks

  • Does creative cloud include any software for HD video screen capture?

    Does creative cloud include any software for HD video screen capture? I know that Captivate is not offered but are there other software applications available that do the same job? I am not wanting to make tutorials but I am a filmmaker wanting to integrate sequences with screen capture (which I will edit on Premiere)

    Thanks Brian,
    Spent some time yesterday doing research on this. There are good reviews and bad reviews for just about every screen capture application out there it seems.
    The top-ten reviews gave their gold medal to CamVerce, which I'll probably buy today.
    http://video-capture-software-review.toptenreviews.com/
    Yesterday I bought the Sonne Screen video which is rated 5th on the top-ten site. (I figured as I'm going to be editing on premiere I shoudn't need to pay for extra editing packages and as I'm not using it to create tutorials I really just want a good quality screen capture for Windows 8). However, I'm not really happy with the image quality on playback and I'm finding the technical assistance really poor from Sonne. I still haven't received an email confirmation from them.
    The others that I thought sounded right for me were WM Capture (though the top-ten review had a few negative things to say about it).
    Tried a couple of the free ones also. EZvid is very popular.
    Will see how I go and let you know. I'm sure this is very subjective and I'm probably not being as clear as I need to be about purpose of use.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • AVI Screen capture software

    A while back someone was looking for screen capture software. I found this free software which works rather well.
    http://www.bobyte.com/

    I use both CamStudio and Microsoft's Community Clips.  Both are freeware, and I've had no problem with the quality of the video.
    File size is more of an issue -- both applications default to autoadjusting settings during recording to try to maintain the best quality, and I've seen a lot of variance with the file size in the end.  Community Clips isn't very configurable (what you can configure has to be done by editing a profile for Windows Media Encoder) and I haven't been tremendously successful with changing options in CamStudio to limit file size while still maintaining quality.
    I've been more successful by paying attention to factors outside of the actual capture software:
    1. Use a lower resolution on my monitor while capturing.  (When I'm working, I like it up at 1920x1200, but turn it much lower for capturing.)
    2. Turn the color scheme down to 16-bit.  (Not a big deal when I'm recording podcasts of programming examples, etc.)
    3. Capture in region mode or application mode, rather than full desktop.
    4. I tend to capture short segments, then put them together in PE.  That way, I can easily re-record a segment and try adjusting it with some small tweaks.
    I've only been doing this for a month or so, but these applications have worked pretty well for me for producing content at work.

  • Screen Cast or Video Screen Capture

    Hello everyone,
    I am seeing a solution to an issue invilving screen casting. I am playing World of Warcraft and am trying to capture certain events as video's. I have attempted using programs such as iShowU and Snapz but the results are far from acceptable. They simply make the game look as if I were to take screen captures over and over with a one or two second delay inbetween them. Not to mention these programs take a battle axe to my graphic cards performance. The card isn't a bad card either, a Radeon x800. I was wondering what is the best way to go about capturing video of my game. I had a little idea of doing some sort of pass-through through my mini-dv camera to capture raw video from my graphic cards output... but doing this is easier said than done... actually I don't even know how to go about doing this. Can someone lend me a hand? I want some kind of video captures with a bit of ability to edit it and capturing around 20fps... even if the game is running under that at times. My machine make is as follows:
    G5 2.5 PPC DP
    4 GB of RAM
    250 GB x 2 HD
    Radeon x800
    Thank you for your time everyone. Hope to hear some kind of good news soon . Thanks.
    -Andrew

    Since the game is using all the CPU and graphics board power it can get, any software recording will slow the game. The only way to get full speed recording is with an external VCR or DVD recorder. To get suitable video you can use a DVI to video adapter
    <http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/6884001/wo/LP5a dys1a8md2bwmixK21w5cbZA/1.0.21.1.0.8.25.7.11.2.3>
    with one of the DVI ports on the X800 board. Look in the manual to see which port supports it, or just try both.
    Get the ATI Displays software from
    <http://www.ati.com> to get more control over the video output. It should let you mirror the display to the video with them having different resolutions.
    You could also use a VGA to video converter, such as:

  • VIDEO Screen CAPTURE + Snapzpro

    I use snapzpro to video screen capture for demos that I produce. Recently a colleague sent me one captures with Camtasia software and the quality was fantastic compared with snapzpro. I've set the snapzpro options to the highest quality but it just does not match what he sent me.
    Is there something I'm not doing right
    ANy help appreciated
    Thanks
    Alan

    No. FCE is a fixed resolution editing application. It only works with DV and HDV formats at specific sizes, frame rates and codecs. You either need to convert your material to one of these formats, or use a resolution independent application like Final Cut Pro.

  • What screen capture software is available to Mac users?

    I'm considering buying a Mac to produce online presentations.
    I've seen screen capture software from Camtassia and Screenflow.
    Camtassia seems most popular with PC community but what do they (we currently) know?
    I've heard that there's a screen capture tool within Mountain Lion is that true?

    Thanks Grant. It sounds as though I can safely buy a Mac without worrying about software
