First you need to have a capture profile with the desktop/screen as the video source selected and active. Learn about 'Capture Profiles'.You can capture snapshots of any video enabled capture profile.

Capturing screenshots manually is much like pressing the button of a digital camera.

To capture a screenshot all you have to do is click the 'Grab Snapshot' button on the 'Main Toolbar' or use the keyboard 'Ctrl+H' combination. 1AVCenter will auto-hide every time you capture a screenshot.

You can capture images from the entire screen, from a region, or from a window. Learn how to capture screenshots from a window or region. Quick shortcut to select any part of the screen you want to capture: When the capture window is detached from the main window, and is showing the Desktop screen as the video source, when you double-click the mouse left button inside the capture window, 1AVCenter will automatically open the 'Window/Region/Frame-Rate' dialog for you to quickly select a window or region to capture from.

Screenshots are captured directly in compressed JPG format.

To set the image quality you want open the 'Profile Settings' and use the image quality slider to select a value between 1 and 100. Default value is 100.

After you grab a screenshot it will instantly appear on the 'Snapshot File List'.

Open the 'File Menu' or right-click on the just generated file to learn what you can do with the snapshot file.
