Increase the framerate on the F16 screencast recorder

December 9th, 2011 No comments

Fedora 16 comes with a built-in screencast recorder. By default the screencast recorder records the entire screen with a framerate of 15/sec. If you need a higher framerate then here’s what you do:

Open dconf-editor and go to org -> gnome -> shell -> recorder. Here you should see a number of options (file-extension, framerate and pipeline). Double click on the value of framerate and change it to your liking then press enter.

Next time you start (and stop) a screencast recording by pressing Control+Shift+Alt+R it will record with the new framerate you just entered. You can find your recording in your home directory. The name of the recording starts with shell-.
