ScreenShooter feature list
- Creates animated screenshots of areas of the desktop.
- Offers both medium and large memory versions of the application, for grabbing very large animated screenshot sequences.
- Each frame captures the screenshot, mouse pointer location and the exact time.
- Uses the simple
.istformat for output, to allow easy use of the resulting animated sequences.
Running ScreenShooter
ScreenShooter can be used with either of two sizes of memory reserved.
The above button launches ScreenShooter in 512 Meg of memory. That may not be enough for creating very large animations, so we also offer a version that reserves 1024 Meg of memory, which should allow the creation of huge animated screenshot sequences. *
* Note that these references to sizes in Meg - 'megabytes' apply only to the RAM used at run-time, the download size of ScreenShooter itself is tiny. See the latest version for the current size in bytes, but note that ScreenShooter will never be expected to exceed 100Kb in download size. 100Kb is just 0.1 Meg.
System Requirements
| Requirement | Java Plug-In | Memory |
|---|---|---|
| ScreenShooter 512 | 1.5+ | 512 Meg |
| ScreenShooter 1024 | 1.5+ | 1024 Meg |
Note that all versions of ScreenShooter require full trust - it is necessary to accept the code digitally signed by the author. ScreenShooter requires full trust, so that it will be able to grab screenshots of your desk top. Applications and applets that are sandboxed could never 'see' what is happening on the remainder of your PC's screen!
