capturing the computer screen and using that in premiere
Hello,
I’d like to capture the screen (mouse movements …) off my monitor in a high rez fashion so I could use that in my short film.
I recall ‘Closer’ had a scene where they did something like that. They had ‘Jude Law’ chatting online with ‘Clive Owens’ (i believe that’s his name). Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks alot!

Hi-lite the window on your Desktop that you want to capture and do Alt-PrintScreen, (the first key to the right of F12 key). Open the Paint program included in Windows and click on Edit > Paste: the captured window will show. Save it in the format of your choice: BMP and TIFF will do well. Import the resulting still in Premiere.

It is one heck of a lot easier to just shoot it if it is on an LCD scree, or even on a CRT if your camera has a clear-scan setting.
But if you need movement, one easy way is to use Camtasia.

I believe that there is a free trial.

I just realized that you probably need to capture a movie, not stills.
There is no doubt that Camtasia is the tool to use to capture a video from the screen. If you want to save $$$, download Microsoft Media Encoder for free and try it. It will capture A/V from your desktop and produce good quality WMV clips.

I have done this before by using print screen, bringing this into premiere and then move a mouse pointer(graphic) around the screen.

Have you tried using Cam Studio? It’s a screen capture program.
