How to screen capture windows 7 via parallels using 27" iMac

Just like you would with a Mac. Command shift 3 captures the whole screen to yourMac desktop and command shift 4 will capture a selection to the Mac desktop.

How to screen capture in Mac OS

Can anyone advised me how to do screen capture please? Thanks.

Hi joengz!
Command-Shift-3: Take a picture of the screen
Command-Shift-4: Take a picture of the selection
Command-Shift-4, then press Control while selecting: Take a picture of the screen, place in Clipboard
Command-Shift-4, then Spacebar: Take a picture of the selected window
Additional instructions, that can be found in Mac Help.
"To take a picture of the whole screen, press Command-Shift-3.
To take a picture of part of the screen, press Command-Shift-4, then drag to select the area you want
in the picture.
To take a picture of a window, the menu bar, the Dock, or other area, press Command-Shift-4, then
press the Space bar. Move the pointer over the area you want so that it's highlighted, then click. (If you
decide you want to drag to select the area, press the Space bar again.)
If you press Command-Shift-4 and decide you don't want to take the screen shot, press the Escape
key.
Screen shots are saved as PDF files on the desktop. If you want to put the screen shot in the Clipboard,
rather than create a file, hold down the Control key when you press the other keys. You can then paste
the picture into a document."
"You can also take pictures of the screen using the Grab application (in the Utilities folder)."

How to screen capture a computer video game being played??

Need a small clip of a kid playing a rather fast moving video game. Is there a way to capture that and then use it in FCP??
Thanks
John

The kid capture is no problem. I have plenty of cameras and will be able to map the screen capture onto a 3d computer monitor. Only thing I did not know how to do was how to capture the video and get it into a quicktime or .avi format.
Thanks

How to screen capture on asha 311

I've seen forumers with screen captures of some windows on asha 311.
how did they do it ?
or is it possible to screen capture on asha 311?
Nokia Lover since childhood.
my phones are 3120c, 303, and 311.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

One "workaround" way would be to e.g. to go to RDA and use one of those devices to grab the screenshots. Depends on what do you need the screenshots for.

How to screen capture paper Layout model in oracle reports

Hi,
I have several reports and i need to be able to capture paper layout (model) view in pdfs or jpgs for presentation etc. Short of going and doing screen prints, is there an automated/batch way to do that since i have several reports. One path that comes to my mind is the XML route with appropriate style sheet that preserves the pdf look and feel)
Note that i am not asking to run a report with data which i can do manually, but instead need the layout model in the jpg/gif/pdf formats.
Thanks,

Hi
How do you know that your report server is up and running?

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 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.

How do I perform a screen capture to print or save?

How do I perform a screen capture to print or save?

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 do I get a screen capture in Windows on MacBook?

I'm a new guy to Mac/Mountain Lion, but not to computers, so this question may be a bit dicey.
I have used Gadwin PrintScreen for years on Microsoft Machines. During Setup, I am allowed to use Ctrl+Printscreen but now I am using, only occasionally, Windows 7 x64 on a partition on my MacBook Pro/Retina. Considering that there is no Printscreen key on the keyboard, I can no longer use the configuration I am accustomed to in the Windows environment on my lovely, shiny Mac. Only combinations ofCtrl/Alt and F keys are allowed. I get "Can't use that key. Already assigned to, etc."
So then, my query is this, on the Windows side, what keyboard combo will allow me to get a full screen capture? I've tried everything and combed the Apple community to no avail. If there is no keyboard combination, what app can I use that will allow me to do so in a Windows environment on a MacBook Pro/Retina. Just a month old.
I know how to execute this on the Mountain Lion side, but that key combination doesn't cut it on the Windows side.
In closing, I hope the solution is an app download to allow me to choose a configuration.
Thanks for reading,
Kelly J.

Sorry I don't know of any key combinations that will do the same thing.

How do I change the default iPhone screen capture format to .jpg? I have an iPhone 5.

How do I change the default iPhone screen capture format to .jpg?
I have an iPhone 5 (but I'm sure users with other models would like to do this as well).
My online searches have not found an answer -- I did find a discussion thread that was essentially, "Why would you want to do that?" Those posts are not welcome! Not looking for a work-around, an intermediate step, or the need to change the file format on a computer, etc. Just want to hit the two buttons and have the resulting capture be a JPEG file.
Not interested in jailbreaking or using apps that require jailbreak -- Want to do this with a new phone.
Thank you in advance for any help!!

How to Get Proper Video Screen Captures (Screencasts) of Photoshop and Lightroom in Win?

Hello. I would like to get proper screen captures of Lightroom and Photoshop on Win 7/64, showing all screen elements as you see them. I tried FastStone Capture 8 and SnagIt 11.1, but they have various differing issues. Do you have a good hint?
What's more: In my screen capture, i also want a mouse-click-sound each and every time the mouse is clicked. This is not "system audio", because the computer doesn't play a sound for every ordinary click. The capture software must add that sound. (I'm aware i can add the sound manually in post production, but want it recorded together with video.)
Experience with Faststone Capture 8's video captures:
I get well usable footage
Does optionally record mouse-click-sound for each click, with adjustable volume
Does not properly record some elements of Photoshop or Lightroom screens:
- cursors sometimes look rough or double-sized
- Lightrooms "TAT (Target Correction Tool)" disappears while being dragged on the image
- the color selector box of Lightroom's Adjustment Brush is not shown, while the cursor working within that color selector box is shown
- Lightroom's three-second-splash-message after Undo etc. is not shown
(All these missing elements do show up in *still* captures with Faststone Capture. They also *do* show up in video captures done with SnagIt, see below)
Experience with Snagit 11.1's video captures:
Does properly capture all those elements that FastStone does *not* capture (listed above)
Does *not* optionally include a mouse-click-sound for each and every mouse click (they record "system audio", but a sound on every click is not "system audio", so a regular click on a menu item has no sound)
Videos are less smooth, cursor sometimes "jumping"
Now, do you know a screen capture software for Win 7 that can
properly record *anything* that's seen within Lightroom and Photoshop
and automatically add a mouse-click-sound for each and every click i do
and produce smooth footage without "jumping cursors"?
Thanks for your real-life experiences!

Myles, thanks again, here are my findings with Camtasia:
Camtasia:
DOES record overlays like adjustment brush's colour selector
.camrec format isn't offered for recording, only .trec and .avi (on Win 7), but trec is usable just as .camrec i guess
Exported MP4 looks blurry and has colour blotches, that are not visible in the initial recording, only after exporting; this doesn't change at all after setting very high quality MP4 options; i guess i didn't look properly
i see how to add mouse-click sounds; i don't like the sound they provide so much; maybe it can be exchanged.
Other tests:
Camstudio:
mouse click sounds very weird (my mistake?)
does NOT record LR overlays like adjustment brush's colour selector
Screen-cast-o-matic, optionally online, free version:
DOES record overlays like adjustment brush's colour selector. Mouse-click-sound not in free version. "System audio" is promised in paid version, but that does not necessarily mean a sound for each mouse-click. Contacted support for more
Straightforward using, lots of short video tutorials (useful for absolute beginners).
Free downloaded program 1.4 only works on primary monitor, the online launched app also records on secondary monitor
Don't see option to record a "window", only set resolutions
More "jumpy" than Faststone
More interesting pro-version seems to be rent-only-licenced, at 15 USD per year, not a one-time-buy

How can I keep my screen captures sharp when exporting to PDF?

I've tried using a screen capture tool that allows me to snag in the exact size, plus I changed downsampling to none in the export settings, but the screen captures still look blurry in the PDF. What else can I do to keep them looking sharp?
My client insists on using InDesign to lay out this presentation and wants a sharp looking PDF to send to clients.

Ok, there's the problem. You turned off effective compression of the photos.
I don't know how, or whether, you can have different compression for different image classes in InDesign. That's really a question for an InDesign forum.
Good luck!

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?
