I have been searching the API and forums and not found an answer to this question.

Is it possible to capture gameplay and audio to a movie file from an app?

I am not trying to make a youtube demo video, One function of the app is to export a movie that’s a recording of what you just did along with sound.

So far the only option I have seen is to save the audio to one file and record game controls to an internal database. I could then playback the game with the recorded controls and export an screen capture image per frame. From this pile of frames and audio file I would have to send them to an external web server system to merge them into one. Or have an external web server accept the audio file and game recording db and recreate it server side.

Is there a better way to do this in Corona? [import]uid: 110373 topic_id: 19255 reply_id: 319255[/import]

I think your approach is very smart - which is good because unfortunately right now you cannot record the screen, no.

I’d encourage you to make a post in Feature Requests.
