We just finished filming some sample video for an update of our app. Posted here with some additional info about how we did it. Hopefully it helps! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wgL4zX18SI
Hi Matthew, you might find this useful: http://forums.toucharcade.com/misc.php?do=bbcode (scroll down for topics regarding Youtube videos)
SimCap We use simcap for our videos: http://www.jaml.co.uk/simcap.html I highly recommend it for the simplest way to get high quality video of your app in the simulator. Here's our trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4erPRpJC0RY -m
Simulator and iShowYouHD We use the simulator to run the app, then screen capture using iShowUHD. Works pretty good. We then take the video into Flash or After Effects and add the fingers and thumbs manually to make it look realistic. Check out some of our promo videos at www.appinthebox.com.au to see how they come out, the Drop the Chicken promo is probably the best example. The recent update to iShowU added a ripple effect when you mouse click which we can't get rid of so if you don't want this don't update to the recent version. I had a really good look around when we started making games and this was the best solution that gives you the best frame rate. The simulator isn't ideal though, someone really needs to build an app for this. There is an app you can use if you jailbreak your phone but the frame rate captured is terrible, don't waist your time with it.
I used iShowU and iSimulate. I had to speed the videos up a little bit, because I had a small amount of lag with iSimulate.
Can anybody confirm that the Blackmagic Intensity Extreme works to capture iPhone 4S HDMI output? That would certainly be my preferred solution, but I really wouldn't want to shell out 300$ and then not be able to use HDMI because of HDCP.
While I know this is an old thread, let me recommend the Elgato unit - http://toucharcade.com/2012/06/19/wwdc-elgatos-game-capture-hd-is-blowing-my-mind-right-now/ It's working with me just great with all my numerous iDevices and only refuses recording iTunes Store movies / videos, nothing else.
