Which software for creating screencaps

[beta-tester]

Hey you Movie Galleries gurus,
this question is for you. I'm thinking about starting with movie galleries, but now I have a little problem
Which software(program) could you recommend me for creating quality screencaps ? I need something very cool and useful. I am tired of all those blury and crappy "thumbs".

And another question. What is the average size of movie clip on movie gallery ?


Thanks a LOOOT

Photoshop will do it, just hit "Print Screen" on your keyboard, open a new file in Photoshop and paste, you can edit your screen caps from there however you like (resize, add/remove, alter, etc...)

yeah, I was thinking about that too.
But I've heard that there are many great programs which do auto "screencaping", and resulting thumbs look great.

I use the print screen button, and PS.

So, anyone who DOESN'T use Print Screen and PhotoShop, but some other tool made for this operation ?

I put it in Pinnacle and cap it there at a size I want. I cap it larger than I need, shrink it down in PS and do them in bulk with actions.

Thanks for the answer DWB. Unfortunatelly I don't have Pinnacle, but I think Premier can do almost the same, right ?
Anyway, I can't beleive that nobody knows any program for auto making all those screen caps...

i use Capture from www.analogx.com

I blow the movie up full screen, capture the bmp, then take it into photoshop and crop it to what I need

I use this cool little app called Snatch-It. It's shareware and works great.

Ditto. The skip and such is also real handy. Easily find the perfect bit and grab and it can also watermark for you. I think it has a batch feature but I never use that portion.
