    Default Saving Quickshow as an AVI?

    Ok, so I am new to attempting to put together simple shows in QuickShow. Once I have completed a full timeline, how does one save the file so it could be uploaded to say Youtube? Is this even an option? Thanks

    Camstudio on the preview window.

    Of course, filming it with real lasers would be better

    Wow that does look like it might work. I'll dig into it this weekend, thanks.

    Change the codec from "Uncompressed AVI" to DivX or something similar. Video will go down to around <100MB.
    (You'll obviously need to install DivX codec ;-) )

    You should use a different codec for your video, i am guessing you saved it as uncompressed AVI, no need to do that, just save it as Quicktime H.264 settings...

    I find it best to video it using a video camera from the screen for the simple reason that with Camstudio I tend to find a time slip occurs and the video lags behind the music.
