Can someone suggest the best way of recording video for a game trailer for a mobile game done in corona?
What tools and techniques would you recommend? Should this be done straight on a device or from the simulator? etc.
If you are looking for free apps:
Google play games has built in recording ability. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.play.games
vysor is free with adds: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.vysor
If you are looking for paid apps:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hecorat.screenrecorder.free
Others:
You can record with adb -> http://www.androidauthority.com/android-customization-screen-recording-adb-599331/
If you have a capture card, hook your phone up to your computer and you can use that
What marketplace(s) is this trailer for?
Iphone and android
Sorry, I assumed android in my answer, I dont know why, but either way I am only familiar with android.
I think there is a screen recording plugin in the Marketplace

Easiest method is
adb shell screenrecord /sdcard/demo.mp4
and then copy to your PC with
adb pull /sdcard/demo.mp4Thanks everyone.
How is the quality with adb? The game runs at 30fps, will it pick up all frames or will there be some that are skipped?
Does it do sound as well or just video?
On iOS it is very easy.
Just plug your device to your mac and record directly from it with quicktime.
I use those recordings for the Android trailer too.
I happened to write a blog post about this just a couple of weeks ago, maybe it can be of help to you. Read it here: http://bitstopixels.blogspot.com/2017/06/making-ios-gameplay-preview-video.html
The resulting gameplay video is found in the blog post, but you can also see an extended version (without sound) on Ice Trap’s landing page embedded in an iPhone frame.
Good luck!
You do not need to download any third-party app for ios device screen record, because iOS 11 built-in Screen Recorder with voice sound is a big advantage of iOS 11. How to use Screen Recording in iOS 11 on idevice read this thread
