Has SCR prog settings any way to pause and resume during a recording?

I'll add pause/resume to my feature requests list. Unfortunately it's not an easy feature to implement as video encoding subsystem which I'm using doesn't support pausing. Note that you can't pause video recording on the Android camera as well.

For now you can stop/start instead of pausing and later combine recorded videos into one using Movie Studio or similar.

It seems when I have show touches turned before recording and after finishing the recording it auto turns off the touches, by chance can you make it so it leaves the touch indicators turned on after a recording is done?

This was the initial behavior of SCR but many users got frustrated with not knowing how to turn off touch indicators after uninstalling the app so I changed it.

If you want touch indicators to be always one uncheck the "Show touches" option in SCR (which means "Don't modify show touches settings") and enable touch indicators via Android "Settings" -> "Developer options" -> "Show touches". If you don't have a "Developer options" enabled you can use this simple app to control touch indicators.

I'm always getting the "Can't create video file" error on my N4, running AOKP on 4.3 on franco's latest nightly.
The app has root rights and I have about 1,5gb of free storage.
I tried rebooting and re-installing the app. It has worked once after I've installed it, now it gives me the described error.
Tried changing the location to multiple folders (/0/downloads, /0/, and the standard one)

Any advice?

Edit: Fixed it myself. Had to change the saving location from /storage/emulated/0/ to /storage/sdcard0/ now it works

It seems on some of my videos I am getting some audio/video sync lag, I rarely watch the videos after I make them but looking at my newest videos I saw/heard it. I assume it happens from how much the program has to process?

Edit: it seems to happen after I unplug the HDMI cord from the device to change the audio and then plug it back in.
If you wanna look for yourself its at the 13~ minute mark

With 4.3 on the nvidia shield I had to test GPU+...I can only get 9~ minutes max with all settings at max. Holy **** lol. That's awesome.

1080p video with console mode ( at 30 fps) is perfect.

It would seem with android 4.4 screen recording is built into the OS. Would this mean the 2 GB file size is gone, and what do you plan on doing when 4.4 is widespread, to keep making people want scr?

Wow, it's incredible Google finally noticed a need for such app! It's so much easier to add it as a system feature rather than hacking around hidden APIs. I wouldn't be so sure about a 2GB file size limit. It's highly device dependent, many devices use FAT file system on SD cards which imposes a 4GB file size limit.

To say how I'm going to keep SCR alive when Android 4.4 is widespread I need to play a bit with 4.4 to find what can be improved in their tool. I'm sure there is always some space for improvements and competition is always good a good thing for end users.

Not really sure how this would be added in, but here's an idea.

Could a computer program be paired with scr in such a way that you can click the record button and on the computer (with audio cords plugged into the device to the computer) it will start recording the audio as long as the recording is going?

I was thinking of how to make a youtube video better and was thinking about videos that have duel audio, the audio recorded to the computer could be track 1 and a commentary audio could be track 2, or the other way around. Of course this would be for advance users that know how to mix in the audio tracks into the video with the proper software.

But, basic idea, program on a computer linked to scr and records audio without getting up and pressing record and when scr stops recording the program also stops at the same time.


I donno how this wouod happen though.

Edit: seems someone else has figured out how to record with tegra chipsets :D http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2476818 needs a little work, I bet you two would be able to make each other work and learn even more :p.

And so I did :D

The only difference between 0.11.1-beta and 0.11.2-beta is basic KitKat support. There is slight performance improvement on my Nexus 7 due to changes in KitKat but it should be possible to improve it even further in next updates.

Nexus 7 settings

I was just wondering what the best settings to use on the Nexus 7 FHD are. I have tried many different combinations of resolution, bitrate, and FPS settings in SCR, and none of them seem to go smoothly when recording in 1080p. I know it may not be possible to record super smooth in full HD, but I was wondering what the best settings are to get as close to smooth recording as possible.

Thanks
Chad

    Official SCR Screen Recorder thread
    Check out SCR Screen Recorder, the Android most comprehensive screencast recording app.
    SCR Screen Recorder supports all Android versions since 4.0 and utilizes the best encoding method available on each platform. Since the first release in early 2013 SCR Screen Recorder is frequently updated and new features are added regularly.

    Unique features:
    • SYSTEM AUDIO (requires root) - On most devices you can directly record in-game audio without quality loss caused by microphone recording speakers output. The "Internal + Mic" option allows to add a microphone commentary to the system audio recording. At the moment this feature is not available on Android 4.2 but it'll be added soon.

    • FACE CAM - Share your emotions by adding a front-facing camera to your video. You can move the camera overlay around so that it doesn't obstruct important controls.

    • NO ADS - Unlike other "free" screen recorders SCR never display any ads. Development of all my apps is supported only by donations.

    • SETTINGS - No mater if you prefer to select simple presets or manually tweak every setting we've got you covered. SCR supports many customizations and provides performance and stability stats.

    • ALPHA FEATURES - Let us know what's important to you in this thread or by joining SCR Alpha Testing Google+ community at http://goo.gl/PGYZ8r

    SCR Screen Recorder uses various hacks and unofficial APIs which may not work on some devices and ROMs. If you encounter any issues try experimenting with different settings. In case that doesn't help select "Send bug report" from SCR Settings menu or ask for help in this thread. Note that some devices simply don't support certain encoding options so it doesn't make sense to complain that GPU+ image transformation doesn't work if GPU transformation works fine.

    Google Play ban and "Dangerous app" warning
    SCR Pro got recently banned on Google Play and my developer account got terminated.
    This is probably caused by the recent Google Play raid on apps switching SELinux to permissive mode. Unfortunately they haven't sent me the warning so I haven't got a chance to remove this feature. See SELinux section below for more details.

    Free SCR Pro for everyone!
    I don't want to charge anyone twice for the same app and no publishing method allows for migration of thousands users who already paid for the app, so I decided to release SCR Pro for free!
    You can grab the APK below and enjoy all the features of the latest release of SCR Pro on Google Play. No time limits, watermarks etc. Simply full-featured best Android screen recorder for free!
    Please consider donating to me, especially if you haven't purchased SCR Pro before, so that I continue development of this app.
    SCR Screen Recorder Pro v1.0.5
    SCR 5+ Pro v0.1.3 (no root, NO INTERNAL AUDIO, requires Lollipop)


    In case you don't know how much to donate, the previous price of this app was $5 :)

    SELinux details
    SCR Root switches SELinux to Permissive mode when it's running and restores it to the initial value after it's turned off. On most KK+ devices some SCR features won't work without disabling SELinux. Mainly the internal audio recording. If you'd prefer to try using SCR in SELinux enforcing mode let me know (state your Android version and why you need SELinux enabled during recording) and I may make this and option in SCR Settings.

    FAQ
    I’m getting error message when I start recording, what should I do?
    Try changing the resolution or switching between CPU/GPU image transformation mode. Some devices don’t support all settings combinations. If you can’t get any settings to work please tap “Report” button on error dialog and send a full report email including system log.

    The recording works fine except the strange colours
    Select “Inverted color fix” in SCR Settings.
    attachment.php


    Video contains some random colors instead of my screen
    This is caused by device video encoder crash. It usually can be fixed by changing Resolution.
    attachment.php


    The video is sideways, how do I rotate it?
    Just like default Android Camera app SCR checks the screen orientation when the recording is started and adds orientation metadata to the video file. Some video players (e.g. VLC) ignore orientation metadata and always display video horizontally. YouTube and default android video player can detect orientation metadata correctly and play vertical videos. If you want a video to use vertical frames instead of rotation metadata select "Show advanced" in SCR Settings menu and then select "Vertical frames". Note that hardware video encoders and video players on many devices don't support vertical frames especially on high resolutions.

    My phone gets really laggy when I start recording
    Phones hardware is not designed to record HD video and play 3D games at the same time so I have to push the limits. There is always going to be some slowdown. You can reduce a lag by reducing resolution and frame rate. Lower frame rate and lower resolution means that your phone needs less power for video encoding and has more spare resources to run other apps and games. If you’r running Android 4.3 try GPU+ image transformation mode which is much faster on some devices.

    Marshmallow support added

    I just released a small update adding Android 6.0 support.
    Sorry for the delay, I have very little time to work on this project lately.
    As I smashed my Nexus 6 I couldn't test it on any official Marshmallow ROM.
    I tested it on Nexus 4 Frank ROM and everything worked OK including internal audio.

    So what are the benefits of this over screencast?
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse
    There are quire a few benefits of SCR over Screencast:
    1. SCR supports Tegra devices
    2. it works on Jelly Bean
    3. on many devices it's much faster (e.g. on Nexus 4 you can record 720p@40fps with minimal CPU ussage)
    4. SCR UI uses an floating window displayed ontop other apps so that you can start recording without capturing recorder UI
    5. it's in active development i.e. I keep adding new features and fixing bugs

    SCR Pro is now FREE for everyone!

    After considering different ways to republish my app (Amazon App Store/new Google Play account/FDroid etc.) I decided to publish this app for free and hope that at least some of you will support my effort by donations :)
    I don't want to charge anyone twice for the same app and no publishing method allows for migration of thousands users who already purchased the app.
    You can grab the APK from this thread and enjoy all the features of the latest release of SCR Pro on Google Play. No time limits, watermarks etc. Simply full-featured best Android screen recorder for free!
    Unfortunately automatic updates won't work with sideloaded APKs but I'm going add update notifications directly to SCR in the future.

    Please consider donating to me, especially if you haven't purchased SCR Pro before!

    I see. Is the app open source at least?
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse
    I'm thinking of opensourcing it but I doubt if anyone will continue work on this project.
    Building SCR requires 1TB of free disk space and around 4 days of compiling.

    It would make more sense to opensource the audio driver only but it would require quite a bit of additional work to write a stand-alone installer. I'll look into it when I have some free time.
