Hello All. My dilemma is that I've shot a rather lengthy presentation that utilized several interactive websites. I did not have access to a feed from the projector in the studio and therefore must somehow integrate the websites accessed during the presentation into my finished piece in post-production.
Any advice on how to "record" surfing the web and import into FinalCut 5 so I can cut to the websites during the presentation? I'm trying to stay away from hooking my laptop to a DV Deck and external television and then simply recording the feed from the TV (that always looks "muddy" to me) and it also seems to me there must be a better way than simply shooting my cinema display. Any thoughts, advice, or solutions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.
By the way, the work submitted on this site looks great.

There is software out there that will let you record the screen to a movie file. The Mac application name escapes me at the moment but I've seen it used and it looks very good.

Try a Google search. Sorry I couldn't be more help but I wanted you to know that there is in fact a solution to your problem.

Snapz Pro is what you are looking for, it has a trial version available so if you record what you need fast it won't cost you anything.
