iPad screenrecording: how?

[Todd Geist]

Hello,

I spent a tremendous amount of time researching this. It turns out there is
NOT an app for that :-)

I did finally come up with a setup that works but it is not cheap, not is
it perfect. I can capture the iPad screen but it doesn't show finger
touches like you see with the simulator.

First you need some hardware that can capture HDMI. I chose this.

Then you need Some Software to capture the incoming HDMI. Apple has an
Xcode sample project called WhackedTV, that can do it.  But I use
ScreenFlow 3.  ScreenFlow is what I normally capture screen casts with. The
iPad shows up as one of the video sources you can capture when you
configure the recording.

Then in post processing I add the iPad Frame around the video.

If you want to see the results you can check out the video

Its a lot of work. But as far as I know its the only way to capture and
record the iPad screen.
