I wanted to do a screen capture and after watching a tutorial here I discovered that when I followed the instructions there was no option to record the screen when I hit the record button. What gives?
Did you get to this sort of screen showing the third red button which actually starts the recording? The first one is under the preview monitor to choose any type of recording. The second is on the 'Screen capture' dialog where you can pick recording quality and save file location etc. It is confusingly labeled 'Recording:', which mistakenly suggests that clicking 'OK' will finish the process.
To johnebaker: I have Movie Edit Pro 2013 version 12.0.3.4 (UDC2)
I was unaware of the Basic, Plus and Premium versions or options.
To cpc000cpc: When I hit the red button at the bottom of the preview screen a dialogue screen opens called the Recording Source Selection. It is from there that I noticed that I didn't have the option to do a screen recording. I may be that this version doesn't allow for such but when I purchased the software the next higer version was a $500 dollar version that was way beyond my needs. I was wondering if this was an addon that possibly needed to be downloaded and installed after purchase.
I'm attempting to add a couple of screen captures that should explain at least which version it is and what I see when I click the record button.
MEP 2013 comes in three 'versions'-- basic, 'Plus' and 'Premium'. The differences are on the Magix site http://www.magix.com/au/movie-edit-pro/ under 'More information' >> 'Product comparison'.
Plus is on sale now for only $10 more than the basic one -- I'd go for it! CHeck out the full list of what you get; the shot above is just a small section. The jump to $500 you mention is for a different (albeit with many identical features) professional program, Video Pro X.
