Hi,
Probably other forums for this - but this Vegas Video is my "home" forum so I thought I'd try here first.
I need to video a Smartphone screen and various apps running on it
I have a Canon HF10 HD camera. and do not have any special lights etc.
(there is no "video out" on the phone to save screen directly.
My attempts so far I have been trying to avoid reflections and Glare. but also the actual text is hard to see, there is also banding and weird effects and sometimes I get a great reflection of the ceiling ... I have played with angles and diff lights in rooms (office environment - so either Natural light and florescents)
I have a tri-pod and 2 lenses - zoom and wide
What distance should I use. I treid shooting down - then I stuck the phone on a wall ...
Time of Day? yes sun no sun?
Also anything I can do to the video after I import it to Vegas to make it better.
Any suggestions (including cheap easy lighting devices) would be appreciated.
[and since no post can be made this week without a comment on Vegas 12 - this is actually the first time that a new version has come out and I have not already switched to the previous - I paid for 11 - but never switched to it - wold have loved a special upgrade for those of us who paid for but never felt 11 was stable enough :) ]
Thanks
Allen
