[Bug 433939] Re: features requests : for screencasting

 

** Description changed:

- Hi all,
+ Initiating a screencast and automatically importing the recorded vido
+ should be easy.
  
- First, I have just discovered today OpenShot (0.9.34 on ubuntu jaunty) ,
- and i love it :) Thanks all for your hard work.
+ Many apps provide recording functionality of the whole screen, one
+ application, or a selected area. It would make sense to integrate with
+ one of those:
  
- Here some ideas for openshot, to use it easily for screencasting.
- 
- - as Kdenlive, maybe integrate recordmydesktop in Openshot ?
- 
- - as Lives, it can be a good idea when you click on a window that you
- want to screencast, the window appear in Lives itself. However Lives
- can't record the mouse pictures.
- 
- - With Kdenlive you can record the whole screen, or a part of the
- screen. If you want to record a part of the screen you have to put
- manually the window's data (position, width...). It can be a good idea
- to include also the possibility to click on the window that you want to
- record (something as that : recordmydesktop -windowid $( xwininfo -frame
- | awk '/window id:/ {print $4}' )   , but i don't know why, this command
- don't function actually on my pc).
- 
- - more great, you offer to the user the possibility to define the size
- that he will want record (for example 640x480), and after he click on
- the window that he want to record, and OpenShot resize this window, and
- record it with recordmydesktop. Maybe the use of xwit can be useful for
- that ? For example : xwit -resize 630 451 -move 10 30 -select      will
- resize the window in 640x480. I don't know why it seems that there is a
- difference between "-resize value" and the real value resized.
- 
- - For the project type, it will be great that we can personalize the
- values (for exemple now it seems that I can't use OpenShot because i
- don't know how can I have a 15fps for doing screencast).
- 
- - It maybe useful to add this project type :
- 
- Screencast 4/3 Normal (or 640x480)
- Frame width: 640
- Frame height: 480
- Aspect ratio : 4:3
- fps : 15
- Progressive : Yes
- 
- 
- Screencast 16/9 HD (or 1280x720)
- Frame width: 1280
- Frame height: 720
- Aspect ratio : 16/9
- fps : 15
- Progressive : Yes
- 
- What do you think about this feature requests ?
- I hope may be 1 or 2 of this ideas will be helpful, and my english will be understandable  :)
- 
- Best regards,
- 
- pepe
