in Working with GS (Mac)
Hey I was wondering how to record my iPhone screen so I can start creating game play footage of my game :)
But I can't, well I can if I Jailbreak my iphone and I don't want to do that :(

Please help can someone tell me how?
I have an iPhone 4 (Not "S" and not "5").....

Ps.I'll be upgrading after I release my app.

    I don't think you can on a iPhone 4, that's what I have to and I couldn't find anything. Bu if someone has a suggestion I'm interested also.

    Are you using windows Creator or the Mac Creator?

    The reason I ask is if you are using the Mac version you could just output the game into the IOS Simulator to play the game and record it with QuickTime... That is how I did the video for my "Wboko Splat" game.




    If that don't work let me know....

    Thanks this will help in a worse case scenario, I just really need to display it from the phone :(
    I might just have to Jailbreak (I so badly don't want to).

    But! if I have to do it your way, is there a way I could hide the mouse arrow?

    Thanks for the help though.

    Okay, If you go and get a tool from the Mac App Store called "Screen Record Tool Lite" (FREE) you can hide the mouse.

    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/screen-record-tool-lite/id554015185?mt=12

    I constrained the plane to the mouse in the game. But when I recorded the video with "Screen Record Tool Lite" I unchecked the show mouse option so in the video you see the plane fling around but not the mouse. You could create an actor that looks like a finger or whatever and constrain it to the mouse. When you record the video it will only show your actor moving. If that doesn't work for you I guess you are Jail breaking... X_X



    And if anyone is wondering about the game in the video... It is called "Wboko Air War". In the game you will fly planes from the Wright Brothers plane to today F22's. That is the plan anyway... still work to do....lol

    Thanks,
    Wboko

    I use a combination of 2 things to record the screen

    1. A program called Reflector, which airplay mirrors your ios device to the mac screen.

    2. Screenflow, to record the mac screen.

    I tired reflector and couldn't get it to work. Didn't think it was usable with iPhone 4

    Reflector is not compatible with iPhone 4
    only 4s and better

    If you have mountain lion you can use screen share from you device using a Mac program called reflector it give you a device on the screen and mirrors you iPad or iPhone on your Mac. The you can play right off your device no mouse and it's actual gameplay. It also records the action as well.

    Don't jailbreak you'r iPhone. You will get horrible fps on iPhone 4 with the screen recording software. Personally I'm using mac screen recording software ScreenFlow to capture video from GS Preview. Then I'm cropping and editing it in Sony Vegas (any video editing software will do).

    p.s. GS Preview give's me better fps than IOS Simulator.

    You could also publish a mac version of your game. Then hide the cursor with your screen recording software and constrain an image of a hand to the mouse position within your game logic.

    Or you could use this http://phonefinger.soft32.com/ as a mouse cursor finger.
    and then crop the screenrecording while in the Gs viewer - there are many ways to do it - any of the above is legit :)

    I've tried that. Fps was same as in GS Preview or ever worse.

    WOW, I was running the game in the IOS simulator while recording with both Camtisia and Screen Capture tool at the same time for the video at the top, All on my Mac Air and the FPS was pretty small....

    I downloaded Screen Record Pro from the Mac app store and that works great for me :)
