Capturing sample videos

For a video camera you have to be able to lock focus and light levels, that way when your hand comes in it doesn't freak out. Otherwise, just use some screen capture software. Up to you.

 

If you jailbreak your iphone or ipad you can use an app called Display Recorder which works extremely well.You can control the frame rate, quality, video format and orientation.

 

I'm also looking for something like this. One you jailbreak the developer iPad, can you resotre the non-jailbreaked status? Or xcode works well with a jailbreaked device?

 

It does not matter if you have a jailbreaked iPhone, xcode works the same!
I suggest you use iSimulate, you control your iPhone simulator with your real device!And you capture your screen using any software of your choosing.I installed it yesterday and it works awesome!

My problem is that the iPad simulator runs at 20 fps without screen recording, and at 15 fps, if I record the screen...

 

You can try capturing video from the HDMI-output of the iPad digital output adapter. (We couldn't get it working with our Blackmagic Intensity Pro, though!)

So instead these days we're simply capturing footage from a desktop build that we run at the desired device resolution. Note that this means a native PC or Mac build, not the simulator build.

 

Someone tested BlackMagic HyperDeck Shuttle with iPad 2 HDMI mirroring output?

 

Nice find!

 

i used ScreenFlow Recorder for mac. Fire up the emulator and try programming a sequence of touch events (macro style).

 

iSimulate does't work on iOs5,they must update their libraries!

 

I posted this in a new thread before I scrolled down and saw this one, so I'll paste it over here as well:

After trying Simulator and suffering from low FPS, and DisplayOut on a jailbroken device and getting artifact-y footage, I finally hit upon using the official Apple HDMI adaptor outputting from an iPad 2 (or presumably an iPhone4S) into an Aver Media HD capture card.

I actually couldn't capture directly due to HDCP restriction on the signal, but I was able to FRAPS off the preview window for a good quality video source with audio and full multitouch and accelerometer support.

Hope someone else finds this useful!

 

I would love to know this as well!

If it can, I will buy one.
But I am afraid that HDCP or DRM may interfere, and the recorder may refuse to record the iPad2 HDMI mirror?

Has anyone successfully done this?

thx!

Absolutely, it would be the perfect solution: an independent, portable box that can records in HD! I was very near to buy it some months ago, I asked BlackMagic to confirm its compatibility with iPad 2 HDMI output but they never replied.

It should not be a problem, as "Intensity Shuttle" is know to work. What could be a problem is that the "HyperDeck Shuttle" could not be able to decode the "HDMI RGB format", that should be the output format of the iPad2.

 

Not sure why it won't embed the video, doesn't seem to work for me either on that vid.

Interesting concept though, will you be targeting just iPad or both iPhone and iPad?
