Black Screen Recordings

[mudgey]

Hello,

 

I am running Debut on a retina Macbook Pro with Maverick OS, I can not get Debut to access the screen for screen capture. All I get is a black screen, can anybody help please? Apart from Firefox and Debut, there are no other applications running.

 

Thanks in advance

I am suddenly having the same issue on a paid professional version - was fine a few days ago.

I'm having the same issue. Running the paid version on a MacBook Pro and OSX. The program worked fine for the first few videos, now I just get a black screen. Can't snapshot or record desktop.

Sorry to go back to an old topic, but I also have the registered version and it records just a black screen (a minute's worth of recording comes to about 900 kb but I get sound no problem and there is no preview in the box, so all is done from hot keys. It has worked fine previously so any thoughts would be appreciated.

In the last day or so, I've noticed that I get a black screen instead of the screen cap when I record from Explorer, Chrome and Firefox. I did get a successful recording of my desktop. I'm on Win 7. I note that the Help talks about disabling "video acceleration" or "overlay video" but it doesn't provide any further advice. I downloaded the latest Debut version today but it didn't help. In fact I just tried recording this screen (Firefox) and it came out black.

 

Is this a new thing, what am I doing wrong?

Hi all. I want to buy this screen capture software but I'm getting exactly the same problem as John K. Interestingly, I installed the Microsoft Expression sceen capture software and the same thing happens.

Good to know I'm not alone Bruce.
