If SHIFT+CMD+3 grabs a screen, what grabs a video shot?

[Sir Loin Steak]

I'm sure I've managed this before, but can't remember how.

You're playing a video and you want a snapshot of that babe singing to print and put in your wallet... what's the key sequence?

Nothing, yet. Snow Leopard will let you.

Correct.

You'll still need third party for now. Snapz Pro X is a good choice. Amrbosia software makes it.

 

[Sir Loin Steak]

I must have used another program I have recently downloaded, then.

I'll try to see if I can find what it is.

 

[Sir Loin Steak]

Thought so, it's in vlc.

Attached grab.

Err... you just want a screen shot when a video is playing, or do you want to capture a video of what is actually being displayed on your screen for X amount of time? Why doesn't Command Shift 3 work for you?

 

[Sir Loin Steak]

Good question, and I hadn't realised until now that cntrl/cmd/3 could grab a 'still' from iTunes.

My attachment shows the two grabs.

I suppose the iTunes grab could be cropped. I like the unobtrusive vlc one, however.

For just a region of the screen use Cmd + Shift + 4 and drag a selection box over the area you want

 

[Sir Loin Steak]

Many thanks for the replies. Good info there.

If you press Cmd + Shift + 4 and then hit Space, you can take a screen shot of only the window that you click on.
