Best way to capture iPad/iPhone video to make a trailer of your game

gamevicci

Hi guys,
what is in your opinion the best way to capture a movie from iPad/iPhone?

I have DisplayRecorder for iPad but the framerate is very bad (maybe with an iPad2 it would be better)

How about Apple Tv with AirPlay Mirroring?

I just use a screen record program with the gs creator, and have an option, that my mouse does not show up in the video,
(or you could turn your mouse into a finger!! )
I ment cursor,
Just my two cents,
Jack

How do I get 960x640 resolution in GS preview?

LeonardDeveloper

I don't understand what you're asking?
Gs pre view doesn't record anything?
As for if you're asking about size, you can change the pre view to 100%

If you are willing to jailbreak your Phone, you might try " display recorder " app on Cydia. I'm probably going to to that with my IPad 1 since I don't really need it to always have the latest iOS since I have an IPad 2.

Don't bother jail breaking there must be another way,
(publish to arcade and record)

Thanks guys, however Display Recorder is too slow (low framerate, even on iPad2) .
I'll try sound stage and let you know the results!

gamevicci

Sound Stage was a very bad idea

It records only from the simulator, please don't waste your money whit it!!

You can also try ScreenFlow.

If you record an iPhone game on the computer it will result in a 480x320 video. To record a bigger one and retain a good resolution you can use tendrmer camera trick. It works pretty good.

You could also do a screen record as it's running in the ipad simulator then it looks like it's on the ipad. Also you can screen record as you preview in GS on screen and then paste that video on top of a static image of an ipad. That's how I do mine but I use Apples Motion to assemble.

Check it out at.

I just use Quicktime on my Mac with the preview window in GS creator. But I can't seem to record sound. Quality's not awful, mind.

You could always use a PC with HDMI in and then something like BlackMagic Express? You'd need an iPhone 4S or iPad 2 for that, of course, but I tried it at work and it was really good!

You mean that with and iPad2 you can have directly an output video in HDMI?
Thanks!

Which screen capture prog allows you to not display the cursor?
This'll be very useful. Cheers

The problem with recording GS previewer is that they still have not fixed the camera stutter issue thus depending on your game preview is less than worthless. The simulator is no good for games using acceleramator. And using the hdmi out with black majic is great but again not if using acceleramator cause cords get in the way. Just really no good way to get video of actual non simulated gameplay at the moment if using acceleramator.

Can you tell me about tendrmer camera trick?

IsabelleK

If you have an AirPlay enabled device you can also use AirServer, it's great for gameplay videos.

I re-size my iPhone game to iPad using the re-size technique, and use Quicktime to record the video at 1024x768, which allows you to have an HD option on youtube. And I also use Audio Hijack Pro to capture the audio. And then put it all together in Final Cut Pro. Kinda round about way of doing it, but Quicktime is free, and Audio Hijack Pro is free, and it saves me from having to buy a program, and it keeps me in touch with video/audio editing, which is what I used to do for a living.

But that's just me.

Found an easy solution for my problem. When I preview game and GS, I just need to set custom resolution in preview options and pick it.
