Post by: Upon Infinity on June 24, 2014, 03:18:13 PM
Anyone?  Or cheap, if not free (sub $15-20).

Thanks, Mike. Tried it, seems a little complicated for my needs.  Couldn't really get it to work the way I wanted. Maybe I was doing something wrong.  I did find a much simpler one; BB Flashback Express, which is fairly simple, however.  I just want to try to throw a timelapse of my 3d working together.

I tried some other-better ones but had problems.
I did not want to deal with the probably solvable difficulties and used Webinaria instead.
Basic but it was enough for what i wanted to do.
The link to the Webinaria site is on the right side.
There are other programs there too to choose from.

Thanks for the suggestion, Kadri.  After trying it, looks like it only supports 1280 x 720 resolution.  BB Flashback looks like the way to go.  I had actually tried Debut, which was excellent.  But they make you buy it now after using it just once.  I still have it on my desktop as a free working version, but they changed it recently and when I brought it onto the tablet and it was no deal.

I made a basic test with Webinaria ones more and it recorded in 1920 x 1080 .

I once used something called Fraps but I'm not sure if that's what you look for.

I used the  " Options + Capture area + Entire screen " options.
Haven't tried the custom option.
Just tried the custom option and  it captured at 1920x1080 too.

Hmmm... Methinks it's a potential driver issue.

Could be of course.
Have you tried to use the custom option and choose the full screen of your desktop and record.
Then closing and opening the program ones again.
Not sure but i had some kind of that problem at first too if i remember right.

What OS are you on? if you are on OSX just use quick time. Or for stills command+shift+4, then space bar, then click.
