Screen capture video program

[peter5992]

Good evening!

This is my first post here. I am a long time Reaper user (since 2008), commercial license.

I am looking for screen capturing video software, so I can record a Reaper project, video and audio simultaneously.

Is licecap good for that? Just looking for a simple program that can make an accurate recording of what I see on my computer monitors, so I can send it to my film making collaborators.

Thanks!

Well ... I downloaded and installed Licecap, and I recorded my project.

Disillusion ... none of the audio was captured.

I uninstalled licecap from my computer.

Any recommendations as to software that can get a good screen grab, both audio and video, high definition?

You might have to route the audio from a hardware out back into your motherboard line in.

I watched the website of Camstudio and it looks guite interesting also because it is free software!
But when I wanted to download the program, my Eset antivirus suite blocked the download website as being malicious. I scanned the setup-program at virustotal.com and there were a lot of well known anti-virus software manufactures warning for potential risc: https://www.virustotal.com/nl/file/a...is/1445423269/
I know sometimes a scanner returns a generic code because the program is rather unknown to the scanner or the program makes changes in the registry. In this case no results are generic codes.
Maybe some more experienced users can chime in on this?

I grabbed bandicam a few years ago, been great ever since. I use lice cap for short animated GIF videos, when I want audio or more fancy features I use bandicam.

Thanks for the feedback guys!

Hi Peter, I would recommend you to use Open Broadcaster Software.
It can be used to stream the video live or just save it as a file in your hard drive instead. You can define to capture all monitors or just one region, or program window, and your webcam at the same time if needed etc...
It's free open source and great

I tried CamStudio (from SourceForge) a few days ago. Yep, Yahoo took over my browsers homepage and search. Even when I uninstalled camstudio and changed settings, I had problems. It installed a exe which kept changing the settings of my browsers. I found the exe by searching for the recently modified *.exe on my system and terminated & deleted it. (it wasn't part of CamStudio)

Unsure what else that it installed, but, I wouldn't go near it again.

I'm currently using Rylstim Screen Recorder. but I dont think it records sound.

Cool. Thanks for the tip BBFlashBack works for me.

My bad on suggesting CamStudio. I used to use it a lot years ago. I forgot that it was on Sourceforge and Sourceforge is basically all malware now.

Another vote for OBS. A little "difficult" to set up but once done it records audio and video in sync and doesn't kill the frame rate.

[peter5992]

Hmm.... no love from OBS.

What am I doing wrong?

[LB75]

I'm also trying to use OBS. Anyone have specifics on the 'difficult' setup part?

[Indemuse]

Same here on OBS. I think it's a no-go. I tried it with voicemeeter as well and it simply doesn't work. Maybe Reaper will add a screen capture option one day...

[pipelineaudio]

Heda, how can you get OBS to capture a VST window?

I think you would have to not move the VST window, and then crop a display capture or window capture to just capture this part of the screen. You can crop by SHIFT+ALT+drag the red circles handles when you select a source.

Hi,

On windows 10 I can use the xbox app and use WINkey +G fto open the game bar. Here I can chose to record the app; if it's not a known game, xbox app requires you to check the mark 'yes this is a game'....

Maybe that can work for reaper too?

You can record a Reaper project, video and audio simultaneously by using https://screen.center . No watermarks even in a free version which I consider great indeed. It's a simple tool that records accurately.

I just did a quick test using OBS to record a REAPER editing session where I called up REAFir and it seemed to work fine.

I needed this to send videos to a developer today.
Worked perfectly.

If you want a screen capturing video software to record a reaper project, you can try FoneLab screen recorder.
It enables you to record audio, video, and webcam contents without lag.
So you can record sound, game screen, online meetings and more as you want.

Hi Fran,
What did you select as your audio "source" in OBS?

Sorry to say that project was on a previous computer and I don't have OBS installed on this one. I'll see if I can come up with some info for you but it may take a while.

I tried several tools to create easy screencaps of all kinds and oCam was just the best. You draw a green frame around the object you want to record. Hit your hotkeys and that's it. You can directly render to gif or any video format. You can make still images. Absolutely no problems.
Start the application! Adjust the frame. Hit F2 once to record. Hit F2 a second time to stop. Hit shift+F2 to pause etc.

There is no better way.

Check it out!
