    If you do Cmd+Shift+3 you'll get a full screen image saved to your desktop as a jpg file.
    Also, you can use Cmd+Shift+4 and you'll get a cursor which you click+drag to draw a box. When you release the drag the boxed in area will be saved to the Desktop as a jpg file.

  • How can  I capture a specific number of screen caps

    Using final cut or any other application, how can I capture a specific number of screen caps? Each video will have a different length.

    Bob,
    Please clarify your question. Are you asking about screen captures? If so, what software are you using and what does this have to do with FCP?

  • How do I capture still images with iSight?

    Is that possible. Do I need software to do this?
    Please help

    Hello, Judith,
    iSight needs software to do ANYTHING.
    Several apps that you can use to capture still images are listed in the Some Applications you can use with iSight FAQ, starting with iChat AV.
    The iChat AV menu command for a video snapshot is shown right at the top. You just need to have the Video Preview (My iSight) window active to do it.

  • How do I connect two video cameras to my computer have them both show up on the desktop at the same time so I can see and capture both images using a screen capture program?

    Hello, 
    I am a teacher and want to make some videos to post online for my class.  I would like to have it set up so that I have a powerpoint presentation going, a video camera pointing at a piece of paper I can write on and another video camera pointing at me.  How do I do this?  I have seen several solutions but they seem to be for switching between videos whereas I want both video images to be on at the same time.
    Also, is there a screen capture program you would recommend?

    Go to System Preferences - Sharing and change the computer name there. You can also, optionally, change the name of your hard drive to further clarify the origin of your backups. Click once on the "Macintosh HD" on your desktop, then click its name to allow you to edit it.

  • How do I capture an image in iMovie (Maverick update)?

    I used to export a selection to Quicktime as an image sequence and then move the images to iPhoto and select and edit the best frame. Now with the update I cannot figure out how to do this...and many other things.  Project was almost done...and then the update happened.  Stress level just went waaaayyy up.  Blah!

    I used a D-Link wireless camera with built in webserver.  Here is the code i used and it worked for me.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to automatically capture thumbnail image of flash video

    I'm creating a sample website where users can upload videos
    in various formats, including flash. Most flash oriented sites that
    allow automated content also display videos in image form, so you
    can get a general sense of what you're about to watch. I'm
    wondering how this is possible. I have seen several references to
    programs and what not that allow you to manually do this, but none
    that allow this to be performed automatically. It sure would be
    annoying if users had to upload their own image file...

    *sigh* I'm guessing this means it's impossible, or that no
    one knows?

  • How does one capture an image of a selected area of a window ?

    I tried the "System Preferences" "Keyboard Mouse" "Keyboard Shortcut" and the combination of keys decribed there- but they do not work.
    Better to say, they work sometimes and don't on others. What can be the clue?
    Can somebody advice me?
    Additionally: an option is given to save the picture as a file. This has never worked. Or if it works, I don't know where the saved files are stored.

    try using the (shift key) the (apple key) and
    the(4
    key) at the same time. Then, you will get a "Cross
    Hairs" just move it a round
    ... and when the crosshair appears, hit the spacebar
    and see what happens

  • How to display 2 PNP image in one screen

    Hi,
    I want to divide the screen of 7970 to 2 parts, one to display PNP picture1, and another to display PNP picture2.
    How can I do? or IP Phone can not support this kind of operation.
    Thanks.
    Yours.
    Hankers

    The phone can only display one image in it's display area at a time. However, you can programmatically combine two images into one and send the one to the phone. In Java this is a relatively simple thing to do. In fact, I did it with my screen saver (idle timeout) app that displays weather info as a single image. It gets an icon and other text info and creates a single image, assembled from the icon and the text, and sends it to the phone. Are you a Java coder?

  • Trying to find how I can edit an image to remove sections so that can print on coloured paper

    Hi - trying to find a way to edit an image to leave blank areas that will appear the colour of the printer paper ?
    Not sure if this makes sense - sorry but thanks.

    Since most printers work by adding color (or not) to white paper, anything left white in the image will be the unmodified color of the paper. That's the easy part. The tricky part is making the other colors look right. (Blue ink on yellow paper will likely look green, for example.) White is hardest, unless you have a printer with white ink.
