I have in the past used Fraps with success, but whenever I try and capture video with the Corona Sim I do not meet with great success. If the SDK allowed for capturing of video - OR - if there is something else people recommend, please let me know.

Not only is video capture a great way to help debug real-world issues, but it's good for marketing purposes as well.

Thanks.

Jerome,
I have always used ScreenFlow for my screen capture. It works great with the Corona Simulator and even lets you edit the video inside the program.

ScreenFlow - that's an awesome recommendation; thank you. I wish I didn't spend my money on Fraps now.

Dacriburdan: do you know how I might specify just the SIM skin as being what I want to record? I don't need the entire desktop - can you define a screen region to record? Or post production manipulate the capture perhaps?

ScreenFlow records the entire screen -- coming from Camtasia Studio I found that so incredibly stupid.

Until I started using it and realized it's the *only* way that makes sense for a screen recorder. That way you don't have to worry about making sure your window stays in the right spot, dialogs that pop up are cut half off, etc.

Record the entire screen and then either zoom in to what you want in the ScreenFlow editor, or set the margins to only show what you want. That's what I did for my latest video last night.

Here's what was captured:

And then you can see the result on YouTube:

It might seem odd to capture the entire screen when all you need is a tiny piece, but in practice it just makes sense.

Jay, I'm down with recording the entire screen for the various reasons you mentioned... I just haven't figured out how to "zoom" with the Free Trial version...? But you can on the full version? That's great.

Use the scroll on your mouse to zoom in and out -- there's probably a keyboard/menu way to do that but I always just use the mouse.

Mouse wheel indeed; that'll work!! Sweet goodness. Now, to just get rid of the watermark. ;-)
