Recommendations for Videotaping Software

Recommended Posts

Greetings,

 

I've recently tried to record my 2.5 hour trading session using Camtasia Studio 7, the resul was horrible - I had to scale down the framerate to 5 per second and then produce it, the video was being produced for 2 hours, and a 1.5 GB file of 1 trading day was spit out.

 

I'm looking for the same thing - making a video of my trading screen for 2.5 hours - but with reasonable processing time and size (few 100 MBs max). Any other software recommended for this?

With Camtasia Studio, you can adjust the Clip Speed while building the video (from Project). You can almost reduce the 2.5 hour recording session to 15 minutes (90%).

I used to record entire day of trading and playback in 40+ minutes...

Search for 'Clip speed' in Camtasia Help.

I use CamStudio to record trading sessions, webinars and videos that block downloading. I've been quite satisfied with the quality of the results, however I can't say I really paid attention to the file size. It is free and open source.

 

I also use Camtasia 7 and It works well. It does take a long time to produce, that is due to the new MP4 format. This is great quality and smaller download. I don't trade all day, but very easy to record a 3 hour session.

 

You might also be able to use the older Camtasia 5 or 6, you can still download them. Howard how did you get it for free, they have a trial, but I did not know it was open source.

Thanks to all of you guys, for the inspirational insights.

 

I've spent the last 3 days rendering videos around the clock (except for trading), and I've come to a conclusion.

 

I've tried CamStudio, recorded a 4m 45s session, realized it takes 229 MB, which resulted into an estimated 2.5 hours session size of 7 GB - unacceptable. I then realized CamStudio uses the default codec Microsoft Video 1 to encode the result, a codec built in year 1992.

 

Then I've made extensive testing with all the available codecs using CamStudio, I've noted all the results down but none of them was what I was expecting - file size too large, the lowest one taking 1.8 GB.

 

I went on testing the FlashDemo software - the result was slightly more satisfactory on low quality setting (FlashDemo has two options: high quality and low quality...) but the final file is a .swf file, where the current position is marked with the current segment played, e.g. 357 / 892, not minutes. Plus Camtasia says the limit for swf files is 16 000 frames, which for a 2.5 hour would result into less than 1 frame per second...

 

I returned to Camtasia and played with it for two days. I'm gonna spare you all the million tests I did and just let you know the result:

 

- when producing the file in Camtasia Studio 7, use the custom format

- choose AVI

- choose TechSmith Sceen Capture Codec

- leave the key frame to be created every 80 frames

- use frame rate 10

- click on codec configuration and slide the slider to the leftmost side - all the way to 'Fast Compression'

- use High Color (16-bit)

 

My result of today's trading session:

length: 2h 31m

resolution: 1920 x 1200 (!)

quality: crystal clear

file size: 115 MB (!!)

rendering time: 1h 30m

 

...which is an absolutely stunning result. One of the lowest rendering times I had with the highest quality I had, combined with one of the lowest file sizes I had (and I've rendered A LOT of vids in the past two days). And here's why. Take these as hints when rendering your own tradin session vids:

 

- don't use 256 colors. Dithering, trying to 'get close' to another color pixelates the whole picture, which then actually takes more space than when you use 16-bit color

- don't use 24-bit color (True Color). 16-bit color (High Color) takes reasonably less space and there's absolutely no telling which one you are using by looking with your eyes

- I've tried lower resolutions, even 1600x1000 made the video a bit "fuzzy" (still usable though), while the file size dropped just a bit (I went down to as low as half of the original res). Keeping 1920x1200, the recorded resolution, makes the vid beautiful to the eye (looking exactly as it happened) while there's no big raise in the file size

- I wanted every single tick to be seen on the vid - I've observed the original action vs a 5 frames per second video very precisely for a long time next to each other, and I couldn't find the difference. Using 10 fps then is a safe bet to me, containing every tick change.

- beware of switching windows. When you are recording the price changes in your trading software, try switching to other software/desktop/internet explorer/instang messaging to minimum, or don't use those while you are trading, at all. They have a horrible effect on the file size. The 2.5 hours taking 115 MB in 1920x1200 quality (which is more than FULL HD today) does not contain a single screen switch. If I would switch to Internet Explorer 15-20 times during my trading session, the size would go up to 300 MB

 

That's all folks, thanks again and hope my findings will help somebody. Enjoy

CamStudio is less capable than CamTasia. That's why CamStudio is free.

 

There are some professionals who choose Camstudio above Camtasia, and it may surprise that the reason has little to do with being paid or free.

 

I was certainly surprised by that:

 

Camtasia or Camstudio?

 

Look for posts by Josh Anderson - #24 onwards. That fellow is knowledgable and professional - this is his bread and butter, and he has a very strong business.

 

Personally I searched the Internet for screen recording software to record the Boot Camp Marathon trading Webinar a few months back (the Wayne McDonell NFP people).

 

I had used Camstudio previously, and was about to use it again, when I remembered how useless the support forum was when I really needed some serious answers to get Camstudio going. Remember, the CS software is free to use, and they say the Forum is conducted only as a service ... it is not meant to operate like "Customer Support".

 

So I kept looking and came across this from Blueberry software:

 

Free screen recorder - BB FlashBack Express

 

There are enough tips and support to get you started, and the screen-sizing is drag-n-drop to the section or area you want to film. Also there are options to record different file sizes. I think the free version only records in SWF(?) from memory, but files can be converted to AVI and Flash ... don't quote me - I may have this stuff mixed up. I do know that you can set the number of frames per second, and they make recommendations.

 

After doing a couple of test recordings, and checking the quality against the files sizes, I found that the most economical settings size-of-file-wise, gave perfect imaging on playback, and the sound was perfectly synchronised.

 

I created one file of 360MB, but most of the 56 recorded sessions were from 40MB upwards. I saved them onto a Seagate 1TB external HDD, and I have no problems playing them back for my own use. (I paid to attend the Webinar - so I felt I didn't want to lose the intellectual teaching I had received). All up I think I was able to record over 160 hours flawlessly.

 

I had to set the alarm clock to get the change of sessions, because the Webinar stopped when presenters changed chairs, and was a bit frazzled by the end of the week. I do have a valuable resource now, and no longer have to pay to attend a Boot Camp screening. The playback is like I am looking at the original presentation, for quality.

 

I would recommend BB over Camstudio.

 

Downside: BB free version expires after a month, but the paid version is much less expensive than Camtasia, and beautiful quality.

 

Pricing:

1) Free version

2) Standard Edition $89

3) Professional Edition $199

4) Other offers

 

I have no interest in this company - I make the recommendation as a previous happy user. But I think every trader should be using some kind of screen capture software to record what they did during a trade, for later feedback.

 

The mind lets us believe what we would like to believe, but you can't fool the camera!!

Let's suppose you want to record your online event or trading session without attending or supervising the screen. How would you organize this job if you need to schedule a recording from (e.g.) 10:00 EST to 11:00 EST, save the AVI file and exit the software?

I would simply ask my wife to do it - she's a multi-tasking whiz! :cool:

 

In all seriousness, I can't answer that.

 

Does Camtasia offer this?

 

I do know that if I left the BB Flashback recording run, it would continue until the Webinar ceased, and then leave a box asking for me to save. When I returned I could do the saving and exiting. Problem is, I would need to be present to set it up exactly to frame the Webinar screen initially. These things have a habit of popping up in different sections of the screen, and the 'camera' may not be positioned to capture the screen correctly.

 

Another option is the Remote Desktop Control software:

 

Remote Desktop Control software to access remote PC via computer network or Internet

 

But circumstance might dictate the feasibility of this.

 

Do you have another suggestion?

Camtasia can't do that but there are these commands:

Camtasia Recorder command line switches and options for automation

 

"I do know that if I left the BB Flashback recording run, it would continue until the Webinar ceased, and then leave a box asking for me to save"

 

- Do you mean that BB Flashback is able to recognize the sound meter and stop the recording if no sound is played?

Sorry Roberto, I have given the wrong impression. :doh:

 

No, as far as I know there is no way BB can achieve anything like that. It is strictly hands-on only. But I think it may be possible to set it to record for a set time period and then stop.

 

I didn't get to far into the capabilities of the free version - I just wanted to record what I was watching, and then stopped it.

 

I did get up at 1am and again at 4am to stop and restart the recordings, to coincide with the advertised times of the presenters. Had I not intervened, the recording would have probably run until the memory was full (whatever level that is).

 

I mentioned that at the end of the 160 hr marathon trading gig, I was frazzled!

 

I was seriously sleep-deprived, but I did get a valuable record of how these traders think, and what the setups are that they look for.

 

FOOTNOTE: After all the trouble and personal fatigue I endured, I do not use the FxBoot Camp methods ... I found that I made much more headway using Daily Pivot Points and a couple of strategic Moving Averages, and a decent customised MACD setting. So the effort to record 160 hours of someone else's trading did not particularly create an enduring method of trading for me, and I don't really recommend Boot Camp personally. It is a very expensive way to fail!

 

But I did gain insight into the benefits of using a recording device to monitor trading activity.

:missy:

Ok, thanks for the suggestion but... does it satisfy the requirements I've posted above?

 

You can reduce the quality of the video to make it take up less space.

I posted a reply several weeks ago but it apparently did not make the cut. Let me strongly suggest you use Replay Video Capture from Applian software. I use this to record all streaming video, especially the webinars and classes I take. It's about $79 for the entire suite and the video is available immediately, it does NOT require rendering. Camtasia is fine for those who want to go through the learning curve and lengthy rendering process but the Applican product is the best I've found. It's cheap and it works great with NO rendering.

You can use a desktop macro recorder to create a mouse click/key stroke marco that starts the session and screen capture recorder. I used one a few years ago that allowed you to schedule the macro's to run. I don't recall the name but google will get you going.

Got a list of about 50+ screen recording software and tested out probably a good 5-10 of them.

 

Best one I found for my needs is BSR Screen Recorder. Supports multiple monitors, decent compression and file sizes, watermarking (e.g. dates, notes), fast and lightweight.

+1 I can personally vouch for this software. Camtasia is excellent also, but BSR produces instant videos, of exactly what was in the recorded area and is very straight-forward. Much cheaper also. And you can custom name the files (default is preset name and date/time stamp) and split the videos by MB size. No need to create 1 large file if you are recording for several hours. And this also reduces the need to split the avi file later. Easier to remove parts you don't need if you use smaller file sizes.

 

Now snag-it 11 (techsmith; makers of Camtasia) includes video recording, so not sure if you would want to give this a shot. Snag-it was/is the best screen shot application available IMO.

 

Speaking of recording, if you have access to a VPS, you can record "in the cloud" on a remote desktop unattended. You can do this from regular desktop also, but usually automated trading is done in the cloud for redundancy. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoybUfW0VdY]This video shows how to set it up. It's a bit fast, but it explains how to use two users to keep RDC open in the cloud.[/ame]

Interesting thread. I've been getting into tape reading the time and sales window and the DOM and was looking for a screen recorder that could capture a full session (7 hours) with the capability of slow motion replay. Most important is the slow motion replay. Do any of the products mentioned do slow motion? It's not always apparent from the product descriptions.

you are referring to the PLAYBACK of the recording. Not the recording itself, which will be 12-29 fps. Depending on the codec you use (BSR uses Xvid by default which is universal), you use vlc player which you can adjust the playback speed of the video clip.

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=33588&stc=1&d=1356239905

 

Also, if you want to actually produce your own videos, you import the video into the production suite (Movie Lab, Camtasia Studio, etc) and you can speed up or slow down the video that way. This is more advanced and not necessary unless you are doing tutorials or how-to videos.

You are correct, I am referring to playback slow motion.

 

Will the recording speed of 12-29fps capture all of the time and sales data crossing the screen and changes on the DOM that you would see in real time? If not it wouldn't be worth doing.

 

Thanks for your feedback.

The short answer is absolutely yes.

The default is 25-29fps (29 for NTSC and 25 for PAL). This is the same frame rate that your consumer camcorder (regular or HD) uses to record live video footage. I suppose you could increase the FPS if you really needed to....not sure what the maximum is. I think the default of 25-29 fps is PLENTY for any recording enthusiasts, unless you are doing some very specialized hollywood film or are trying to film lightning (1000fps to see the flash only (in slow motion), about 7000fps to see the lightning flash path from the sky to the ground, 100k+ fps for a meteorologist or ecologist to map an exact path at every turn.

 

Animation is usually done in 12 fps.

Do you see in your chart, 12 tick changes in one second?

 

I've never paid attention too much except when I am looking live during a news annoucement or volatile period. I've seen several changes per second at times, but never counted. 10 frames per second would give you 1 snapshot every 100ms. 20 would be 1 snapshot every 50ms. 30 would be 1 every 33.3 ms, etc. You may get 12 ticks of the same price in 1 second, but the chart wouldn't move. It is only when a change in price occurs there is movement. But how often does current bid/ask price change in one second? Even for the eMinis.

 

If you are using a broker or private datafeed subscription (e.g. eSignal) that is giving you true tick-by-tick datafeed, and you want to guarantee that you can see each individual tick price information, The best thing might be if you want to track historical changes is to open a separate 1 tick chart, time/sales, tape window, and/or DoM for each symbol that you want to record and compare it to your other compression charts you normally use for the SAME symbol and verify during heavy trading that the recording is picking up all of the movements.

 

To put it in perspective, Interactive Brokers sends "compressed" or summary ticks every 200-400ms or so, not true tick-by-tick data. It's free, much less likely to crash their data servers, and takes much less hard drive space to store, similar 60000ms (1 min) bars;)

 

I mostly use it on forex, and the majority of retail brokers tend to throttle their tick data to bypass metatrader and client internet limitations, but it is unnoticeable to most traders.

 

I think some people got thrown off with the fps thing. It's just like recording your monitor with a camcorder, but without having to buy camcorder.

I'm not really consciously tracking every tick change, just trying get a feel for which side is more eager. Large trades can pass through the time and sales window in a fraction of a second during active periods. I believe the subconscious can pick this up. In any case, I think the speed of recording you are talking about is fine for what I want.

 

Great information, thank you so much. Really helps!

    • Date: 11th July 2025.   Demand For Gold Rises As Trump Announces Tariffs!   Gold prices rose significantly throughout the week as investors took advantage of the 2.50% lower entry level. Investors also return to the safe-haven asset as the US trade policy continues to escalate. As a result, investors are taking a more dovish tone. The ‘risk-off’ appetite is also something which can be seen within the stock market. The NASDAQ on Thursday took a 0.90% dive within only 30 minutes.   Trade Tensions Escalate President Trump has been teasing with new tariffs throughout the week. However, the tariffs were confirmed on Thursday. A 35% tariff on Canadian imports starting August 1st, along with 50% tariffs on copper and goods from Brazil. Some experts are advising that Brazil has been specifically targeted due to its association with the BRICS.   However, the President has not directly associated the tariffs with BRICS yet. According to President Trump, Brazil is targeting US technology companies and carrying out a ‘witch hunt’against former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, a close ally who is currently facing prosecution for allegedly attempting to overturn the 2022 Brazilian election.   Although Brazil is one of the largest and fastest-growing economies in the Americas, it is not the main concern for investors. Investors are more concerned about Tariffs on Canada. The White House said it will impose a 35% tariff on Canadian imports, effective August 1st, raised from the earlier 25% rate. This covers most goods, with exceptions under USMCA and exemptions for Canadian companies producing within the US.   It is also vital for investors to note that Canada is among the US;’s top 3 trading partners. The increase was justified by Trump citing issues like the trade deficit, Canada’s handling of fentanyl trafficking, and perceived unfair trade practices.   The President is also threatening new measures against the EU. These moves caused US and European stock futures to fall nearly 1%, while the Dollar rose and commodity prices saw small gains. However, the main benefactor was Silver and Gold, which are the two best-performing metals of the day.   How Will The Fed Impact Gold? The FOMC indicated that the number of members warming up to the idea of interest rate cuts is increasing. If the Fed takes a dovish tone, the price of Gold may further rise. In the meantime, the President pushing for a 3% rate cut sparked talk of a more dovish Fed nominee next year and raised worries about future inflation.   Meanwhile, jobless claims dropped for the fourth straight week, coming in better than expected and supporting the view that the labour market remains strong after last week’s solid payroll report. Markets still expect two rate cuts this year, but rate futures show most investors see no change at the next Fed meeting. Gold is expected to finish the week mostly flat.       Gold 15-Minute Chart     If the price of Gold increases above $3,337.50, buy signals are likely to materialise again. However, the price is currently retracing, meaning traders are likely to wait for regained momentum before entering further buy trades. According to HSBC, they expect an average price of $3,215 in 2025 (up from $3,015) and $3,125 in 2026, with projections showing a volatile range between $3,100 and $3,600   Key Takeaway Points: Gold Rises on Safe-Haven Demand. Gold gained as investors reacted to rising trade tensions and market volatility. Canada Tariffs Spark Concern. A 35% tariff on Canadian imports drew attention due to Canada’s key trade role. Fed Dovish Shift Supports Gold. Growing expectations of rate cuts and Trump’s push for a 3% cut boosted the gold outlook. Gold Eyes Breakout Above $3,337.5. Price is consolidating; a move above $3,337.50 could trigger new buy signals. Always trade with strict risk management.

    • Back in the early 2000s, Netflix mailed DVDs to subscribers.   It wasn’t sexy—but it was smart. No late fees. No driving to Blockbuster.   People subscribed because they were lazy. Investors bought the stock because they realized everyone else is lazy too.   Those who saw the future in that red envelope? They could’ve caught a 10,000%+ move.   Another story…   Back in the mid-2000s, Amazon launched Prime.   It wasn’t flashy—but it was fast.   Free two-day shipping. No minimums. No hassle.   People subscribed because they were impatient. Investors bought the stock because they realized everyone hates waiting.   Those who saw the future in that speedy little yellow button? They could’ve caught another 10,000%+ move.   Finally…   Back in 2011, Bitcoin was trading under $10.   It wasn’t regulated—but it worked.   No bank. No middleman. Just wallet to wallet.   People used it to send money. Investors bought it because they saw the potential.   Those who saw something glimmering in that strange orange coin? They could’ve caught a 100,000%+ move.   The people who made those calls weren’t fortune tellers. They just noticed something simple before others did.   A better way. A quiet shift. A small edge. An asymmetric bet.   The red envelope fixed late fees. The yellow button fixed waiting. The orange coin gave billions a choice.   Of course, these types of gains are rare. And they happen only once in a blue moon. That’s exactly why it’s important to notice when the conditions start to look familiar.   Not after the move. Not once it's on CNBC. But in the quiet build-up— before the surface breaks.   Enter the Blue Button Please read more here: https://altucherconfidential.com/posts/netflix-amazon-bitcoin-blue  Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/ 
    • What These Attacks Look Like There are several ways you could get hacked. And the threats compound by the day.   Here’s a quick rundown:   Phishing: Fake emails from your “bank.” Click the link, give your password—game over.   Ransomware: Malware that locks your files and demands crypto. Pay up, or it’s gone.   DDoS: Overwhelm a website with traffic until it crashes. Like 10,000 bots blocking the door. Often used by nations.   Man-in-the-Middle: Hackers intercept your messages on public WiFi and read or change them.   Social Engineering: Hackers pose as IT or drop infected USB drives labeled “Payroll.”   You don’t need to be “important” to be a target.   You just need to be online.   What You Can Do (Without Buying a Bunker) You don’t have to be tech-savvy.   You just need to stop being low-hanging fruit.   Here’s how:   Use a YubiKey (physical passkey device) or Authenticator app – Ditch text message 2FA. SIM swaps are real. Hackers often have people on the inside at telecom companies.   Use a password manager (with Yubikey) – One unique password per account. Stop using your dog’s name.   Update your devices – Those annoying updates patch real security holes. Use them.   Back up your files – If ransomware hits, you don’t want your important documents held hostage.   Avoid public WiFi for sensitive stuff – Or use a VPN.   Think before you click – Emails that feel “urgent” are often fake. Go to the websites manually for confirmation.   Consider Starlink in case the internet goes down – I think it’s time for me to make the leap. Don’t Panic. Prepare. (Then Invest.)   I spent an hour in that basement bar reading about cyberattacks—and watching real-world systems fall apart like dominos.   The internet going down used to be an inconvenience. Now, it’s a warning.   Cyberwar isn’t coming. It’s here.   And the next time your internet goes out, it might not just be your router.   Don’t panic. Prepare.   And maybe keep a backup plan in your back pocket. Like a local basement bar with good bourbon—and working WiFi.   As usual, we’re on the lookout for more opportunities in cybersecurity. Stay tuned.   Author: Chris Campbell (AltucherConfidential) Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
