Capture a video image

[Nancy]

Since posting my original message, I remembered Paint Shop Pro has a screen capture option. I don 't know how to delete this. My apologies.

You don't have to delete the post. :)

I have Paint Shop Pro and knew it had screen capture options but didn't know it could capture movie stills. Thanks for posting back. :wave:

It's also good to keep the thread because other users find this thread through search engine
searches and Cyber Tech Help searches when they are looking for a solution to the exact same problem.
Also many users do not have Paint Shop Pro as a solution.

Here is how to deal with black/blank screen captures on video/movie/clip screen captures/screen snap

Right-click My computer (System in Control Panel) and left-click Properties
Advanced(tab)
Performance - Settings(button)
Advanced(tab)
under Processor scheduling switch Background services to Programs

You will then be able to snap a frame from a video and capture it. Once your done with the
capturing though, switch back to Background services so the machine is faster in it's general
operations.

In Windows 2000 it's
Right-click My computer (System in Control Panel) and left-click Properties
Advanced(tab)
Performance Options...(button)
then you switch between Applications and Background services

If you're on XP Windows Movie Maker will let you grab stills too.
