How to record the iPhone Screen?

GuaveMedia

Hey,

I was looking through the internet but I couldn't find a program for the iPhone
to record what's going on the screen. For free!
Cause I wanna make a game trailer so I thought you guys now some cool
programs?

thx

Isn't there an application on the iPhone that will record everything you do on the screen?

Actually as a matter of fact I have an mod book as wells as an MBP and MacPro..... The mod book has an accelerometer!

Okey I found a way to do it! But how do I just record the game and not my whole screen?

And how to avoid that people see the mouse also?
I was looking for free capture programs but I couldn't find any...
Thx

@Alex, you can use Sound Stage available on the Mac app store for a few pounds. What it does is runs the Gamesalad viewer through the ios simulator on your mac, and you are able to select the built-in backdrop of an iphone, so looks and records as if it is playing on the iPhone. You also have the option of hiding the mouse on that if that is what you're after also.

But 4$ for a simple screen capture software is too much!!! Isn' there an alternative?

$4 for what Sound Stage does it to much? Check it out and see all that it does.

and google is your friend. Do a search youll find a ton

cheers

Okey I bought SoundSatge and I modified my game to control it with the keyboard because I had a tilt control..

But now with the iOS Simulator, the key's don't work and tilt function also not.. what now?

If you are on lion QuickTime lets you select the area to record. Record it I'n the viewer then you can scale it down in iMovie and put it over a static image in iPhone. I do that stuff in motion but I believe you could do it in iMovie. Maybe I'll do a video on it.

GuaveMedia

Where to set this? So that the iOS Simulator from Xcode works with the keyboard?

Yeah it's pretty easy. GS I'm no expert. Video and effects I am.

Okey I found out a way! So just open up the normal GameSalad Viewer and Sound Stage. Then in options, you have to manually set the screen window that has to be filmed.
And at the controller of sound stage also open up the right arrow and check iPhone Background.

And then I manually set the window to the GameSalad Viewer and tried it...what you get is an iPhone with the video inside playing )

Looks good what did you edit it in? And just asking is that copyrighted music?

GameFactoryStudios

I was working with iMovie and the music is a free one ;-) we just had to mention the person in the video, what we did at the end!
