Which software for creating screencaps
 

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 :pimp

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

http://www.frame-shots.com/ try this dude. super easy and cheap.

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

download.com has some good free shit that will do it for you.

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.
