you should really search this topic. it has been discussed many times.

i use screenflow for mac only.

How are you capturing the audio using Screenflow? Are you routing physically a cable from your mixer output to the line input of your computer, or is there another way?

it haz?? oh, i need to look this up

using rca cable from aux mixer to 1/8" to laptop.

probably the most asked about topic here.

i set up a tv at the atm then steal it im world wide baby on all the news stations!!!

what ive been doing is hooking the video out of my mac (i have the old body mac style) to the RCA\SVideo converter, then to the Video input of my VHS VCR, then i run the audio out of my mixer into the VCR and record it to video tape....it gives my mixes the warm analog feel like back when videos were spun on real vinyl!!! :)

I modded my MBP so now it has a rec button. I push it and it records everything. Even when the lid is closed.

lol... I have actually been thinking about doing this until I get a better solution. But I think that either Screenflow or MixEmergency will do it on the software end, or you can buy a digital camcorder with stereo inputs and a video input and do it that way.

i was only half way joking LOL

off the top of your head do you know a good digital camcorder that has stereo inputs?? Ive been keeping my eye open but havent seen one, screenflow and ME dont record audio into the video do they?

D-Twizzle said he has a cheapo Aiptek that works fine for this purpose, that's what I have been looking into on ebay. The only problem I see is the limited capacity, so you couldn't do multi-hour mix demos. But who is going to watch a 3 hour demo anyway?

...but on that note - you have to make sure it's the right model. The ones that will work have a "Personal Recorder" feature, which means that it has inputs for audio and video.

theres something horrible sounding about the term multi hour demo

yeah i did that too but with my dvd recorder....

get screenflow works like a charms and is supper easy to use

ya but you dont get the warmth with a dvd recorder...the tape gives it that vinal crackle LOL

i am goin to check out screenflow though, i gotta decide between that and ME

hey I cant knock the dvd recorder
the mixes I recorded look damn fine on the 7inch screen in my car

i've recorded my live set at the club plenty of times. although i don't post the entire set, you still need to record the entire set so you can pick and choose the best parts. you need a long record time.

true, but i was thinking about how horrible it would be to be a manager\promoter\owner and ahve a dj hand you a DVD and say heres my demo, 6 hours of my set from last fri LOL

hard to beat the quality of ME, rendering straight from the original file!

We’ve been recording into a DVD recorder, then ripping the DVD into Sony Vegas, putting logos and markers in it and then making a DVD with DVD Architect.
This is a lot of work.

My son hasn’t recorded a mix DVD since the summer.

I would like to use a new method. I’m going to check Screenflow.
Does Screenflow record audio well?
Do you have to make a separate audio file (recording from the TTM57) and then sync it later?

It would be nice to make a recording in Screenflow, put the video into iMovie09, insert Markers and record the DVD in iDVD. You can’t get much easier than that. I Think

i think you have to record audio seperatley, not sure though but i would liek to know if im right

as good as the outputs on your mixer and the line in on your computer So not bad at all




Its about that easy!!!

That is exactly how I do it!

so screenflow DOES record audio?

i just recorded my entire set in HD on saturday night. A full 4 hour set, recording video out of the macbook and audio out of the 57.

I'm posting 10 minutes of the clip for your inspection.

yes, yes, yes

www.vjaswift.com

was there any issues with it I wanted to record some gigs but im scared something might crash...while out live

that's why i recorded with an external recorder. my laptop doesn't run anything different or do anything different than if i wasn't recording.

so you didnt use screen flow to record a 4 hour set or you did? Im getting confused lol

i do not use screenflow. i use a external recorder. that means there is a machine that is hooked up to my laptop that does the recording. external means outside of the laptop itself.

but what does "outside" mean?

yes sir, it does. i just embedded a promo mix i made using screenflow on my blog:
mixmasterb.blogspot.com
that you can check out.

screenflow works INSIDE your laptop. it's actually a software program running on your laptop.

OUTSIDE the laptop means the recording is not happening inside your laptop.

It means the DVI cable is run into a separate machine that does the recording.

This really isn't that hard of a concept to grasp. You cats really don't know what a video recording machine is? A damn VCR? It's not a difficult thing here people.

I think you missed his sarcasm font.... I understand - no tutorial needed lol

oh, so the joke's on me. i get it now. haha. no wait. i'm not laughing.

omg! ha, sorry a-swift.
that's funny tho. i'd be pissed if i had just explained what "outside" meant. i feel a lil bad...but not surprised cuz we have had some real noob people here.


but seriously, could you explain what you meant when you said "the" in that quote?

that was classic

Hey A-Swift,

Do you have 2 dvi outputs on your computer ? or just 1 ?

Do you send the output from your macbook to the vcr - then from the vcr to an lcd projector- or how do you set-up the video on a screen at the club you play at ? (to the lcd projector and then using monitor on the projector you send it to the VCR ? )

I havn't even started to record the video sets yet - but I would love to so friends from all over North AMerica can watch the video sets !

sorry for asking these simple questions but I thought I would ask you as you have many more years on me with the video djing / editing / and recording !

Peace

Bryn

dj tanner,

Most dj's have distributions amps or splitters weather it be vga, dvi, component, ect. Computer, to distribution amp, to multiple projectors, tv's, or recording devices.

Yeah most - lol

I bring all my equipment to the bar - speakers, amp (doesn't have "distribution capabilities" as far as recording the video sets ?

I understand what you mean - I was trying to come up with an easy way to record video -

might checkout screenplay then ?

thanks for help dj vmb

yep screen flow would be your option then, nothing extra to carry around. It records everything either on your screen or your secondary monitor or projector.

oh perfect - You answered my question that I was wondering - as I noticed from reading this thread that screenflow captures the screen - but I was wondering if it will capture the secondary screen - where the Serato video flows out of !

Thanks again for the info ! Greatly Appreciated !

Peace

Hope all is well !

DJ Tanner

yes and many diffrent other streams(i.e webcam primary display) that you can edit in or out later

Yeah Tanner, I have one DVI out of my MacBook Pro. I have a little box that has 1 input and gives 3 output. I send one output to the bar video system. I record one output and the other is connected to nothing.

Do you know the name of the "little box " so I can search for one - seems like a great idea - and then next step at the small bar I dj at is to get the TV's hooked up to the video mixing too- instead of having sports / poker on :)

This would greatly help if you have time to let me know the name of the adapter / little box -
thanks again - a-swift !

Peace

The distribution amp I use is a Geffen 1x3 component video distribution amp. I think I got it from markertek.com. Distribution amps come in all shapes, sizes, flavors and any number of outputs. Just get one that matches what you're trying to do. It's out there.

Ahh found it online around 159.00 not too shabby - Thanks again for everyone putting up with my simple questions - thanks for the time !

Hope all is well !

Piece !

i used the screen flow it is cool ! but how can i edit my videos? not to record it in one shot? like if i wanna put a beat and just scratch my videos on it and edit them?

imovie

can i sync the screen flow to the i movie? how do i do that? thanx

not sync it...just edit and seperate one long movie to seperate video clips

after you export the movie in screen flow
import to imovie and then you can edit it then to burn it export to idvd

Does a Screenflow licence allow you to use it on two computers?

I don't think so

?? I have it on both my mbps

i think he question was directed more toward what's "allowed" by the license.

just because you have it on two laptops doesn't mean it's allowed. matter of fact, i would bet it's not.

Many software companies allow software on two computers (Laptop and Desktop).
Ableton, Sony are some of those companies.

I have FCS on two computers but I can't access it on both computers at the same time.
Somehow Apple knows.

that's apple's lame attempt at telling you, "you can't run this software on two computers at the same time". that's why the enforcement sniffs it out on the network. but if you turn off wireless or unplug the network cable, then you can use it on two computers, effectively violating your end user license agreement.

I'm trying to use Screenflow for the first time.
I have the computer connected to a second display (an LCD TV).

How can I record the second display in Screenflow?
When you select "Record Video From" on screenflow. My only option is "Built-in iSight".
Is something wrong here?

it's not recognizing the second screen. what connection are you using?

I'm using an RCA (Composite).
Imez, I'm going to send you a PM

did you figure it out?

no. I sent you a pm hoping we can figure out over the phone.

I got it to work.
It was in the first selection "record desktop from:"

Thanks,
