Hi, I am making a video and my intro is part of a movie quote and the screen is blank. I would like to put a waveform in the screen that is to the audio. Any way you can do that?

You'll need a screen-capture program to grab the "wave-form", then you can bring the video clip into your project. HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)
Nvidia GTX 960(4GB)/16GB DDR3/
Canon Vixia HV30/HF-M40/HF-M41/HF-G20/Olympus E-PL5.
Tape capture using 6 VCR, TBC-1000, Elite BVP4+, Sony D8 camcorder with TBC.

What kind of screen-capture program do you recommend?

Hi Bobby -

Windows Media Player, VLC Player & Winamp all have visualisation modules. The one Barry suggested - "Scope" under Bars & Waves in WMP - is the closest you'll get to a waveform. Others are more like equaliser/audio meters.



There's a mountain of screen capture software. You'd probably want one that records system audio too (to save a separate syncing step). I use Camtasia Studio as a rule, but you may not want to spend $$$.

There are plenty off freeware screen capture programs. Just google. Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 is one that I'd recommend, though screen capture sessions are time limited. It does a good job. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=24601


Cheers - Tony
