Quicktime Screen Capture not working...
Hello to all out there. Really hoping someone can help me with this problem.
My video screen capture within Quicktime is not working, at all. Here is what happens.
I open Quicktime, go to FILE then New Screen Recording. The usual method. It tells me to click the screen to record and everything starts out as usual. I have tried this while recording my artwork process in both Manga Studio EX 5 and in Photoshop CC. While working in both programs the same thing happens. It appears to be working as normal, until I click the stop recording button. Then I get the color wheel of doom and Quicktime get's completely stuck... indefinitely. I"ve let it go for over 24 hours, just to see, and nothing, it simply becomes unresponsive and must be Force Quit. Then upon re-opening, I magically have a 2 minute video only of the work I did.
Now here is the catch, I have downloaded every single software for screen capture that is out there, loaded it up on my mac tower, and had similar results with everything. Every screen capture software crashes. So the problem must be with the OS right?
It's really important that I get this working for business reasons.
Another note, this did not happen until I installed Mavericks on my computer. That is when I first noticed this problem (it's possible it was there prior but I hadn't noticed) Now I am running Yosemite. I had hoped a fresh install of Yosemite would fix it. I was mistaken.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Gone way too long without being able to record. In the mean time I have a temp solution via Livestream, but it is not a viable longterm solution.
Sincerely,
JCH Studio
