can you record a "video" of your patch
Hello,
I am composing using a mixer I build in Max. Would be nice, since it's live composing, to make a visual recording of what I am doing so I can later reproduce and make changes if I need it.
Anyone knows a good way to do this?
Thanks a lot
Have a look at [jit.desktop]
If you really want video, you can use one of those screen capture programs, like Snapz Pro X (mac) or Camtasia (win).
But maybe you could instead just write the parameters of your patch to a file with a small time interval (maybe 20-100 ms or so), like you would record automation in a DAW. That way you can actually have the patch 'reproduce' the composition, if you manage to add all the relevant parameters.
Check out [text] or [coll] for writing data to a file. You can think about adding a timestamp to every line of data you add, so there is some info about the speed of playback in the data itself.
I had my class build a rudimentary screen capture software as their first "follow along" exercise.
Feel free to use it. It's a little pokey (slow framerate) but it does the job.
as for me, i usually use this tool http://www.geovid.com/Screen_VidShot/
QuickTime X, File > New Screen Recording.
To capture audio, you have to physically loop the output back into a line in, or even pick up the speakers via a mic, but it's free and very straightforward to use,

On PC I use Camstudio... free with decent results. I dislike recording full screen so it can do a fixed region or one that will follow your mouse.
If you're thinking more about sequencing, you should also have a look at the mtr object.

What is the easiest way to capture audio and video... I'm using max for live...
BTW, Camtasia is available for Mac as well. I've been using it for more than a year now.
to record screen activity i use this tool http://www.geovid.com/Screen_VidShot/
