  • How do I take a Screen Capture using DVD Player?

    I shot a video of MY own family using MY own video camera, then made a movie using MY own Mac and burned it to MY own DVD-R disk. However, when I try to capture a frame of MY own movie using MY own Mac's DVD Player, it will not let me because the MPAA dictates to Apple.
    How can I get a screen capture from MY DVD, please?
    Thank you!

    In Terminal run:
    screencapture -ics
    usage: screencapture [-icmwsWx] [files]
    -i capture screen interactively, by selection or window
    control key - causes screen shot to go to clipboard
    space key - toggle between mouse selection and
    window selection modes
    escape key - cancels interactive screen shot
    -c force screen capture to go to the clipboard
    -m only capture the main monitor, undefined if -i is set
    -w only allow window selection mode
    -s only allow mouse selection mode
    -W start interaction in window selection mode
    -x do not play sounds
    -S in window capture mode, capture the screen not the window
    -C capture the cursor as well as the screen. only in non-interactive modes
    -t<format> image format to create, default is png
    files where to save the screen capture, 1 file per screen

  • How do I take a screen capture of a video in imovie

    I have an imovie project and I want to take a "screen shot" so I have a still picture. Any advice on how to get a reasonably clear, crisp jpg image from the movie?  thanks

    Thanks for the fast answer! Your tutorial was also excellent - I am also a Saturn V fan. I am a bit leery about installing the app; the general release version notes some quirks with Lion, and I may wait until the beta is GR. In the meantime, I used precision editor in iMovie, and "Grab" to do tiff screen shots, but your solution looks much better, I will check back with the streamclip site to see when the software is no longer beta.
    Thanks much!

  • How do I take a screen shot on my macbook pro?

    How do I take a screen shot on my macbook pro?

    Press the Shift, Command, and 3 keys to capture the whole screen.
    Press the Shift, Command, and 4 keys to capture a draggable part of the screen, or follow it with the spacebar to capture a window.
    Open the PNG on the desktop. Alternatively, combine either of the above with the Control key to put the screenshot onto the clipboard instead of the desktop.

    how did you take the screenshot?
    if you used a key combo like command+shift+ a number it will be saved as a file on your desktop
    you need to add control* to whatever key combination you pressed to put it on your clipboard
    *sorry for saying shift before i meant control

  • How to mute sound of screen capture

    I use screen capture on my Nokia X by press Power + Volume down button , I need to disable sound of screen capture 
    Please advise How to mute sound of screen capture.

    No, there is no existing way in your phone to disable sound of screen capture. Even turning on silent mode, does not make sound off.

  • How can I easily video screen capture my interactions on an ipad2 so I can play back to demo content I have created?

    how can I easily video screen capture my interactions on an ipad2 so I can play back to demo content I have created?

    Hi,
    Thanks for the response but I know how to do a screen capture but wanted to be able to capture myself interacting with the ipad ansd turn into a movie i.e. showing all the movement / animation etc as I interact.
    I have now figured out a good solution. Using AirServer you can wirelessly connect you ipad to your mac/pc then using a video capture solution like Snapz Pro you can capture what you are doing to create the video.

  • How do I take a screen grab?

    How do I take a screen grab so that I can email it as a whole image?

    I'm sure there is software out there to do this for people but you can do it simply by doing the following;
    Tap the "Print Srcrn" key on your keyboard!
    Then launch your fave foto editor app.
    Then "Paste" and you'll have the whole screen image.
    Save it to your hard drive for future use and cropping etc!
    There are also some other options;
    "Alt" and "Print Scrn" will give you just the active window on your screen.
    This is a nice option for creating visual instructions with images!
    And lastly;
    If all you need is a photo from a web page you can Copy & Paste it directly into an email! Not all but most images on websites work!

  • How to get a custom screen capture size smaller than my slide size

    Hi,
    I'm trying to capture a fixed sized screen on my computer (a softphone) for use in a youtube hd size format training video. I can't seem to figure out how to customize the size of my screen capture so it fits only around the phone and leaves me blank space on my slides. Any ideas?
    Thanks!
    Nikkie

    Hi there
    This should be simple. From Captivate, when you set it up to record you simply define an area there.
    Or are you possibly saying you cannot consistently get a size set so that you can record many different projects perhaps over several days? If that's the case, perhaps you need to investigate using something like the freeware Sizer utility to configure things a bit.
