ActivePresenter version 8.3.0 fails to record the video

ActivePresenter Support Questions

Hi there all,

Just letting you know there is something wrong with the latest version 8.3.0 because it fails to capture the video from the screen.

I’ve removed it, installed version 7.5.15, which is searchable from the download section of the website, and found that it works nicely and smoothly when it comes to recording videos.

So there must have been some wrong implementations in version 8.3.0.

Btw I run Windows 10 Home (64-bit) 1909 on my home notebook.

Thanks.

Hi,

Thanks for sharing the log.

It seems the problem is related to audio recording. Can you please try turning off audio (and camera) recording options to see if it occurs or not? Can you please confirm that it is possible to record audio with version 7.5.15?

I just downloaded the “free version” to try this app out. V 8.3.0 (64 bit version). I want to record video/audio from a youTube. I launched Safari and used the custom size to select the youTube window within Safari. The audio records perfectly but the video ONLY records the desktop. Help

Hi,

The issue may caused because ActivePresenter doesn’t have enough permission to record.
Please take a look at this guide to control access to screen recording on Mac to see if it helps:

Hello, I have Windows 10 and I have the same problem. When I record my screen, it records a black screen but I can see my pointer on it.

Hi Monica,

What is your target application? Does the issue happen when recording Windows File Explorer or the desktop screen?

Hello,

My target application was the internet browser (Opera).The issue happened even with Windows File Explorer or the Desktop. I restarted my computer and for some reason it worked again. Maybe the update worked properly only after restarting my laptop.

Thank you for your answer anyway.
