  • MAC OS Screen Capture software?

    Posted by Brian Pitt on August 19, 2009 at 10:13 pm

    I have been put in charge of creating a series of training videos for a software program that is in beta testing right now. The videos will consist of a camera shot of the person putting on the training, and the actual content of the screen itself.

    Does anyone have recommendations for any screen capturing software that records to multiple video formats? I will be shooting with an HDV camera importing as ProRes. Any ideas?

    Another vote for Screen Flow.

    It does everything you want. Record from a video source and the screen at the same time. You can zoom, pan, etc. all within the App. You might think $100 to spend is a lot for screen capture software, but you should be charging at least that much an hour and it will save you many, many more hours on your project.

    Screen Flow does cost 5X what iShowU costs.

    [Brian Walker] “worth every extra penny! “

    I agree, with the editing capabilities, titling, key presses, mouse pointer and other features, it’s pretty sweet. Also, you aren’t locked to a specific screen size, it just records it all and you can resize later.

    It’s a really nice piece of software.

    Another vote for iShowUHD, and the regular one works fine too. When you record in Animation or Pro-Res codec, I’ve blown up screen shots to 500% without a huge loss in quality. Rhed Pixel does all of our instructional DVD and podcast titles using iShowU and have for years. It rocks.

    I know this topic is old…but I did a search on iShowU and this thread came up.

    For all of you touting iShowU as the best option…how do you deal with the issue of the frame rate? I’m trying to capture 1920×1080 for editing screen capture into a video…but it defaults to 30, not 29.97. If I change it in the settings pane, it defaults to NTSC D1 settings for capture. Do you guys just convert it afterwards to 29.97?

    What are you guys doing with it?

    Jason,

    What is the purpose of your screen capture? Are you cutting into other material that 29.97?

    Also, have you tried capturing at 30 with iShowU and just dropping in the 29.97 timeline?
