Performance Issues In The Corona Simulator When Recording A 'gameplay' Video. Osx

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

I don’t know if anyone has come across this before… I’m trying to record some in-game footage for promotional reasons, I’m experimenting with Screenflow and Camtasia.

 

The problem I have is, when the software starts to record, it affects the performance of Corona simulator in a horrible way (jerky movement mainly)… My Mac is no slouch and I’ve turned off all other processes. There’s a tonne of good videos out there, featuring more processor-intensive games than mine. Any ideas?

 

Thanks

Hi @markr1,

 

I haven’t tried either of the ones you’re using, but this seems like more an issue with that software than anything else. Have you tried other options like some listed in this Wiki site? I’m sure most of them have free trials, if you don’t mind installing one and then deleting it after you’re finished with it.

Thanks Brent, I’ll have a look now… Surprised that Camtasia would cause an issue though, it’s regarded by many as the ‘Industry’ standard.

Have you tried recording on device with Reflector (assuming its IOS) I’ve made several youtube gameplay videos. http://www.reflectorapp.com/

Sometimes, people give great advice that makes me feel like a total Noob… reflectorapp is just awesome. I can’t see me being able to live without this, I’m even gonna tweet!

Glad I could help.  :slight_smile:
