![]() ![]() While capturing movies keep hammering the manual screen capture key (I think it is the typical PrintScreen, but you can change that). ![]() And given that Microsoft still uses the same file system as it did 20 years ago I don't expect any innovation of any kind to ever come out of Redmond.unless they happen to buy a company. I wish for MadCap to be the first ones who get a handle on that, but I guess they need to kick quite a few knee caps at Microsoft before getting to that stage. But then again it may that this business causes the capture to come in too late. You get lucky sometimes and the app is busy doing something else before it gets to capture the screen content. That really sucks big time and so far no demo program I know of reliably handles that. The problem is that the events typically fire before the screen refresh occurred and that there seems to be no trigger for the "screen was refreshed" state. What Mimic, Craptivate ex-RoboDemo, and all the others do is hook into system triggers, that are also used by any other application to detect mouse movement, mouse clicks, and so on. That makes for nice movies, the problem is they are difficult to edit and HUGE. I've used my fair share of screen recording applications over the years and the ones that work well are those who create avi files as they capture the entire screen between 15 and 30 times per second. You ran into the "nobody can get this to work" trap.

It's not specific to a particular application, I've tested this in notepad, Outlook, and windows menus/dialogs, but it is equally as bad at recording everything. I'm not sure what Mimic is primarily designed to do, but I'd expect it to be able to record a sequence of fairly basic actions without messing up every single event. ![]() The properties window is not recorded at all (so the click on its Cancel button appears to be in 'mid-air'). Instead of a click on the Properties menu item, the mouse click is a long way off to the right (about 250px) and slightly too high.ģ. Instead of a click on the File menu item, the mouse click is slightly below and to the right (so it appears to click the new project toolbar icon).Ģ. When I come to play back the movie, what I see is:ġ. The properties window appeared, then I clicked Cancel to close it. I selected the File menu, and clicked Properties.Ģ. This might seem like a stupid question, but for the life of me I cannot get Mimic to record a really simple movie.įor example, I've just tried to record a simple sequence in Flare 4.2.ġ. ![]()
