michael john williams Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Thinking of doing a movie / screen shot of a problem we are having with VW. Someone recently suggested and gave a link to some software that did this but I can not find it. Any suggestion? Quote Link to comment
Ray Libby Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 For a screenshot press the Print Scrn key on your keyboard (which copies the image to the clipboard), open and image editor and paste into a new file. To create a movie, Camtasia, 30 day trial. http://www.techsmith.com/camtasia.asp Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 And if anyone is looking to do movies on a Mac, check out SnapZ Pro. http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/snapzprox/ Pat Quote Link to comment

Gerrit Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 (edited) Another tip for Mac users : I recently tested both Screencast and iShowU and decided on the latter. Edited January 19, 2008 by Gerrit Quote Link to comment
mike m oz Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I can second Gerrit's recommendation for iShowU. I've been using it for almost a year now without any issues. Has a good range of recording options and the QuickTime movies it produces work every time. Quote Link to comment
michael john williams Posted January 21, 2008 Author Share Posted January 21, 2008 Presume sreencast and ishowu are just mac? Seems that way from the links. Thinking of using pc based one: http://camstudio.org/ Quote Link to comment
Guest Wes Gardner Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 On a Mac - Apple/Shift 4 creates a marquee controlled picture on your desktop, Apple/Shift/Control 4 copies a marquee controlled picture to your clipboard Quote Link to comment
Gerrit Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 This works in Leopard, not Tiger : press Apple/Shift/4 and hover your cursor over a window (document or Finder) or even a tool palette. Now instead of drawing a marquee, simply hit the spacebar, which will turn the cursor into a camera icon. A click makes a picture from that window, including it's OSX dropshadow.
