I've got a working demo of my game on my computer that I need to turn into a video. All the apps I've used either have low frame-rates, a time limit, or export to a useless format. Anybody have any paid ones (preferably $25 or less) that work well? I don't need any fancy features, just at least 10 minutes per recording, and a 24+ FPS frame rate.
Try the trail of Camtasia Studios. If you like it, you should buy it It's my favorite. It goes pretty fast too. EDIT: Not that cheap, but the free trial is free.
Well, not exactly cheap since my budget consists of around $100 (not including the dev registration), but the trial version should take care of some of my needs. Thx Still open to recommendations. Edit: It's... only Windows supported. Damn.
Try Screen Flow. We use it and it's *really* good. http://www.telestream.net/screen-flow/overview.htm works well with the iPhone simulator as you can replace the mouse pointer with any sprite you want (or just keep it invisible).
We've used iShowU, got the job done but sometimes we accidentally moved the simulator out of the capture rectangle, which was annoying. Link.
Screenflow, while pricey, looks pretty darn good, really likin' the features. Maybe I'll use the funds I've been saving for a rainy day. iShowU's GUI, on the other hand, kinda turned me off. Yeah, I think I'll go with SF. Thx, guys.
Use iShowU. It's easy to use, cheap and even compresses the video on the fly. I've used it to capture my entire desktop for an hr before. The vid file was only 80mb w/ audio. Of course you'll only need it to record the idevice simulator. Also think they offer a free trial version.
Jing Its free and easy to use but only records videos in swf. Pro version does mp4 http://www.jingproject.com/
I use iShowU as well, it is cheap and good. Just be aware for the sound to work you need to start iShowU, then start the iPhone simulator.
Jing. It is free, but not the best quality. You could probably find a torrent for screenflow, which is the best screen recorder hands down, but it is really expensive on its own.
Wow, really? I've been using demo version for a while, and I wasn't able to find "replace the mouse pointer" feature. Is it something only full version can do? It's a nice app, but I'm really missing the ability to replace cursor with my "finger" image.
ScreenFlow FTW. The app can get a bit unstable, but for the most part does what it does well. Check out the demo version and see for yourself. Yas 2n Productions
Another vote here for ScreenFlow. It's not cheap but you really do get what you pay for -- solid full-screen recording (no worries about falling out of the capture area), all sorts of pointer and "call out" effects, and a complete editing system. It's paid off, too, as we used it to produce the Hexterity tutorial, capture animation for the Soundroid Rampage ad -- and we also use it a lot behind the scenes because we work with people in different places and ScreenFlow is a quick way to (for example) show prototype FX to artists or demonstrate how a particular UI or gameplay mechanism should work.
