Camtasia Studio 6 vs. 3ds Max 2010 > sucks?

Ott

Anyone have any luck with this combo on a Vista / 64 bit machine? There appears to be some sort of nasty chugging and right-click menu issues with trying to record video. Even at super small size and any other number of things I've tried, it just seems that Camtasia hates 3ds Max 2010.

The only thread I have seen on the matter is this one:

which naturally doesn't fix my issues. I also can't seem to get Fraps to work with 3ds Max 2010 either.

Camtasia worked perfectly with 2008. Am I out of luck with 2010?

perhaps time to try the free non-bloated alternative:

never had problems with that one

Tried that one as well last night. Same issue Downloaded the latest drivers for my vcard and pretty much the same problems. Right-click menus don't want to work.

renderhjs

tried changing to a classic Theme and not Aero stuff?

gamedev

Does camtasia still have an option to disable hardware acceleration? Try doing that if you havent.

Ott

I'll try both of those tonight.

try out fraps worked best for most of my needs so far, way better then camstudio

Ott

I went back to Classic theme and it looks like that is working correctly now.

As far as Hardware Acceleration, I don't see that anywhere in the options or menus anywhere.

And for Fraps, have you actually used it with 3ds Max 2010 Vista 64bit? I've used it for games, but it doesn't launch correctly or seem to detect it (that I have seen) with 2010. Tried using Fraps first, but no dice there. The yellow Framerate text doesn't pop up and the hotkey commands to start recording don't do anything.
