HD Screen Capture workflow
I occasionally have to work with screen capture footage of websites. I was struck by two things from a recent Google+ video:
first, the high resolution and funny gridlines between pixels. can anyone provide insight on how they got the hi-res and explanation for the gridlines?
thanks.

Either they zoomed in with the browser before recording, then added the gridlines, or it’s not a real screen capture.
I’m a bit of a control enthusiast, so when I have to animate a web page, I generally rebuild it in AE from the ground up. It’s a lot more flexible and opens up more design and animation options than simply recording a screen cap.

I can’t see YouTube videos due to restrictions on the network where I work, but I have a pretty good idea of what you’re talking about.
That’s not a screen capture. That’s an animation based on the website design. Gridlines were created in Photoshop and layered onto the image.– The Great Szalam

very interesting. I am inclined to think you are right-there are some grid squares that seem to contain more than one pixel’s worth of info. if it is built in PS/AE, they went so far as to fake a green and magenta edge distortion. impressive.

If this were an actual screen capture, there would be no edge distortion. That’s another good clue that it’s faked.

this may be a silly question, but why not?
