How to Take Screenshot in Windows 7 - Snippet Tool

Posted by Unknown at 5:59 AM

Introduction:

Snipping Tool captures a screen shot of anything on your desktop, like a picture or a section of webpage. Snip a whole window, a rectangular section of the screen, or draw a freehand outline with your mouse or tablet pen (or your finger, if you're using a PC with a touchscreen). Then you can annotate, save, or e-mail the image using buttons right in the Snipping Tool window. Snipping Tool is available only in the Home Premium, Professional, Ultimate, and Enterprise editions of Windows 7.

Best CamStudio Settings to Record an HD Video

Video Options

CamStudio Lossless Codec v1.4 (but maybe there is a better codec that gives similar quality for a smaller file size?)

1. Up Check Auto Adjust 
2. Quality: 1 (I think this is ignored by this particular codec)
3. Set Key frames every 200 frames (This is the max. value allowed. Gives smallest file size with no perceivable performance difference)
4. Capture frames every 250 ms (i.e., 4 frames a second. Gives relatively small file size and fairly smooth video - enough for my needs anyway)
5. Playback rate: 4 frames/second (NB - This value multiplied by the previous value (i.e., 250) must equal 1000 exactly (e.g., 333 and 3 no good and may give audio problems!)
6. Time Lapse: ignored (as we already un ticked the check box).

Region

1. Make it as small as possible, to result in a smaller file size.
2. Tick 'Fixed Top-Left Corner'
3. Click 'Select'
4. Click on the screen and drag to create the capture area
5. Click OK
