Select Window or Region as Capture Source and set Frame-Rate

You can capture the Desktop but you can also capture part of it by selecting a specific window or region.

To select a capture profile that has the Desktop as 'Video Device', you can use the 'Profile Selector', or the 'Profile Wizard', or the 'Profile Settings'.

If you're already using the Desktop as 'Video Source' all you have to do is click the Window/Region/Frame-Rate button on the 'Main Toolbar', or the 'Window/Region/Frame-Rate' option on the 'View Menu', or double-click the mouse inside the capture window, to select a Window or Region for capture, and set the frame-rate to capture video.

The 'Window/Region/Frame-Rate' dialog looks like this:

To select a window check the 'Window' checkbox and then drag the finder icon and release it over the targeted window such as the window of a YouTube video for example.

To select a region check the 'Region' checkbox and then click on 'Select' and use the mouse left button to start and end selecting the targeted region.

This feature is fundamental when you want to capture video from YouTube, Google Video or Media Player. Note that if when you record video it comes out black you need to go to 'Record Settings' or 'Global Options' and check the option 'Disable hardware acceleration'.

Also, for on-line videos or media player videos you should set the frame rate to 20-24. Learn more about the correct frame-rate to set for video capture.
