Thank you. Very clear instructions. I learnt about features of which I was not aware and which will prove very helpful.
So glad you liked it, Ian. It was a lot of fun to create.
Thank you for the excellent Screenium Screen Casts Online Allison. I've bought and tried the software but am at a loss re saving the composition in a format that Quicktime or other video player can read. Is there a way to save it as an MP4 for example or do I have to get a video converter to be able to watch videos (I don't want to use Screenium for that). If I need a video converter would you be able to recommend one for Big Sur please?
Clare - In the far upper right is an export button which has options for creating video formats that will work with QuickTime and others.
Thanks Allison, I had tried saving but only at the full resolution and 60 fps (which only saved in "composition" format). I hadn't realised you had to drop the frame rate and/or resolution in order to change the format. All good now, thank you.
I demonstrate exporting and opening in QuickTime at 26:42 into the video.
Clare - I think something else changed to fix this for you. I just exported the same French-language composition at full resolution and 60fps and it is also an M4V openable in QuickTime. I think you might be mixing up saving and exporting. Saving will save as a composition, Exporting will allow you to define the format.
Alison, can you advise if it is possible to connect a DSLR to take video in addition to or as an alternative to my iMac's built-in webcam? I can connect my Canon DSLR to video conferencing apps using the EOS Webcam app. This is shown as a pull-down camera option in Screenium, but I cannot get it to record DSLR video. iMac webcam records just fine.
I don’t actually know, Ian. My own camera doesn’t support video input to a computer so I can’t tested it. Maybe contact the Screenium folks?
