Dear Friends, I tested ffmpeg screen grab with alsa support (thanks JB) and tried to make clean 1280x720 screen grabs (thanks Dan).
Sorry if I keep posting about screen grab, but I would like a suitable solution for scren grab, which is one of keys for success. Yesterday, I watched very nice tutorials on Vimeo about Final Cut Pro (FCP) and other softwares. It is a very neat feature to be able to follow the mouse. Examples: http://www.vimeo.com/1111872 Problem: ffmpeg does not support following mouse. Solution: use an external program like recordmydesktop. recordmydesktop is part of all GNU/Linux distributions. In short it supports: * yuv420p non-compressed video capture * Alsa, OSS and .. jack * Follow mouse Example of screen grab: recordmydesktop -width 1280 -height 720 -fps 15 --full-shots --follow-mouse -device hw:0,0 -freq 48000 -o capture.ogv recordmydesktop produces only ogg files, but this is not a drawback as screengrabs are intended to be edited in Kdenlive. I am going to use recordmydesktop to create short tutorials. Shall we use screengrab inside kdenlive? Kind regards, Jean-Michel
