Capping - Questions, Advice Etc.

Thank you for your advice/tips but i'd rather not download anything i have created a new user on my laptop & that seems to be working ok

*Touches Wood*

no idea where to ask this, but what do people use to capture the screenshots, they seem rather higher quality than that of the prt scn button on the keyboard?!

^^^ have a read of this thread.

I use a free programme called 'Screenhunter Version 6.0'.

I then crop & colour balance using Microsoft Office Picture Manager

Probably a silly question,but how do load screencaps onto threads?

Not Sure where to post this but as it's about capping i'll give this thread a shot

Does anybody know any decent capping software please, i use to use one where you could set it to cap for example 5 pics per every second the video was playing, for the life of me i can't remember what it was called, any suggestions

Cheers

James you don't need any fancy programmes to cap, all you need is paint which is already installed on all computers and laptops. That's all I ever use.

Vlc player has a snapshot tool built in so when viewing a video just hit take a snapshot and pics get saved into My pictures or documents etc.

I also use as preference for screen shots a shampoo snap5 or 6

Not true, it may be installed on all windows pc's and laptops, but people also use linux and mac

I'd certainly agree that it's best to use an interactive capper though, and watch the video and pick the best moments to cap rather than simply auto-capping whatever happens along.

VLC is a cross-platform video playing software and supports taking screencaps and does a pretty good job of it.
If you insist on auto-capping, it can also be used to do that. Check the instructions here :

Those instructions are for mac, and for an older version of VLC. For the most recent version (linux version) I had to adjust those instructions slightly.
Go to : Tools-Preferences-Video-Filters

Click the checkbox to open the list of filters, and choose the Scene filter to set your options.
Now go back to the main filters tab and activate the filter by clicking the checkbox next to it in the list.

Now play your video, and the screenshots will appear in your chosen folder.
