Scrolling capture?
« on: September 30, 2014, 01:31 AM »
Can SC scroll a browser window and make a copy as it scrolls?  Like the commercial program screen capture program Hypersnap?

Also can SC glue multiple captures together to be saved as one file (again same as above program).

1. Yes

2. I think the new version has that.

Of course SC does all that; newer versions of SC also include an additional manual-method for scrolling captures that will work when all others fail.

Could you please point as to where this functionality is and how to invoke it?  I've missed it.

Right click on the SC tray icon and select the item "Grab Windows Object or scrolling window" or hit default hotkey of Ctrl+Shift+PrtScr and then select the area to capture and follow instructions.

OK, I will try that. 

How about gluing multiple clips together into one?

Thanks.

in the main SC window, drag an image from the side panel (thumbnails) onto the main image - again, you'll get a dialogue with options.

=> Note that you will need the most recent version (just released today).

The scrolling capture works but it is pretty complicated and not automated.  In the Hypersnap program it is a simple Ctrl+Shift+S command with the cursor positioned in the window.  It is limited to vertical scroll.  If you want to terminate the capture, just use the Esc key.

Pros and cons.


From what I've read, if you want to do captures in browser, you're better off using a browser add-on (than any screen capture app), or, in FF at least, there's an inbuilt way of doing it (there is a thread here somewhere ... see this dc post, and following posts).
