Hi- I was wondering if anyone had any tips/techniques for capturing (I guess you would call it "live stream") a video image of a scrolling playback of a Finale file.
Just pointing my camera at the computer screen results in "wavy distortion" (which is maybe termed polarization because of the conflicting image creation & image capture- sorry for my lack of techy knowledge).
It just seems like there could/should be a more direct way to accomplish this.

Thanks for any advice here!

(FYI, my intention is to "voice over" it with a vocal accompaniment.)

Hi Karen

You can use a screen video capture program.
There are several freeware apps available.
A quick google search came up with camstudio.org/. I've used this one and it's reasonable. You might need to play with the codecs to get good results.
There are also some payware apps available. (I believe Adobe does one)
There are also some 'freemium' apps out there. /tinytake.com/ is an example.

There are a couple of review sites that talk about screen capture apps. here is one.

Cheers...


Daz. :o)

I tried the free version of NCH's "Debut Video Capture" and got decent results. However, you are limited to about 10 videos before it shuts down and wants a fee of approximately US$30. I've used other NCH products in the past and they seem very reliable.
