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.

After you have the desktop as your capture source you need to select the window or region you want to capture screenshots from, to do that you can click the 'Window/Region/Frame-Rate' button on the 'Main Toolbar', and then use the 'Window/Region/Frame-Rate' dialog.

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.

Screenshots are captured directly in compressed JPG format.

To set the image quality you want open the 'Profile Settings' dialog 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.
