Capture a video playing on mac desktop?

[thomasr99442042]

I have several animated plays I use for coaching and I wanted to save them since the company is going off line and shutting down.  I painstakingly made some 60+ plays to help my players understand the plays we were trying to do.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!  Tom

It's difficult to know for sure without knowing more about these animated plays and how they exist. There are some Chrome extensions that will allow you to download videos that are embedded in a web page. Alternatively you might try creating an Adobe Captivate Video Demo, which in theory could capture the "plays" and turn them into a Captivate video which you could publish to MP4 or some other format as well.

Thank you for the response.  I found a software called, "Apowersoft Mac Screen Recorder" and it worked perfect and was very easy to use.

You could have used the Video Demo application included with Captivate to create a video (MP3) or the Video XPress, which is included with Adobe Presenter.

Apowersoft has a intro video on there site that links to YouTube, at 1:21 the dropdown selection of file types indicate that you had many options.

Depending on the format you chose, you can post these files to a YouTube channel as private, and then create a Captivate file by inserting the webobject and generating a URL to play them within a published Cp file.
