AutoCapture Dialog

Use this dialog to set options for automatic (timed) capture. It can be found in the Capture menu.

Note that the general Capture Options found in the Capture menu apply to AutoCapture as well!

The dialog is only used to set options. It does not start the capture process.

To actually start the process, use the AutoCapture Start command or the HotKey assigned to Start AutoCapture.

The selection method used by AutoCapture can also be selected in the Capture menu. Like Single Capture the choices are Window, Region, Fixed Region and Full Screen.

Timer Options

Capture Rate
You can specify the time that elapses between captures in seconds, minutes or milliseconds or you can specify the Capture Rate in Frames per second.

The capture capacity (how often you can capture) depends on your hardware.

If you specify "capture every 0 seconds" you will get captures at the highest speed that your system can provide.

Stop After
You can specify the maximum number of frames you want to capture or a fixed duration in seconds or minutes of the AutoCapture. You can also capture without a limit, but this is not recommended as AutoCapture consumes disk space fast.

You can always interrupt AutoCature by defining the 'Stop Capture' hot key. Defining and memorizing the 'Stop Capture' Hotkey is strongly recommended before starting AutoCaptures of non-trivial duration.

Other Options

Show this dialog before starting AutoCapture
This ensures that this dialog is shown, before AutoCapture starts (recommended). This will allow you to change options before the frames are captured.

Show AutoSave dialog before AutoCapture starts
This ensures that the AutoSave dialog is shown as soon as this dialog is closed and before AutoCapture starts (recommended). This will allow you to change save options before the frames are captured.
