Hello there guys!

After disneyscreencaps.com had to take down all screencaps of ディズニー 映画 they had,
many people don´t know where they can get high quality screencaps for their editing, アイコン and crossover making needs.

Don´t worry, i´m here to help ;)


This tutorial will 表示する あなた a very easy way on how to take your own screencaps with the "VLC Media Player".

Let´s start!



Step 1

Get the VLC Media Player, if あなた don´t have it already.




Step 2

Open it, click on "Tools" and go to the "Preferences".




Step 3

A new window with the preferences will open.
Click on "Hotkeys" and find the command "Take video snapshot".
Double click on "Take video snapshot" and another small window will open.
Like it will say, press any key または keys あなた want to take screencaps with.
I choosed "space", because it seemed the easiest key to press ;)

It is possible, that the key または keys あなた want are taken for another command!
Find the command which uses it/them and change it to something else, then go back to the "Take video snapshot" command and change it to your prefered key または keys :)




Step 4 (optional)

Go to "Video"
あなた can decide where your screencaps will be saved, which format they will be in and how they will be called.
For the format - png is always a good way to go.
For the prefix - if あなた want to make your life easier, あなた can, for example -

If あなた want to take screencaps from Pocahontas,
write "Pocahontas" and choose the option "Sequential numbering". If あなた do that all your screencaps will start with "Pocahontas" and will be followed によって a number (Pocahontas00001.png).
I normally only have the "Sequential numbering" option on, without a text. If あなた do that, your screencaps will be named "vlcsnap-00004.png" (for example).
(Don´t write the " ", those are only to make it stand out more)




Step 5

Save! The button is in the bottom right corner.
Then, close the VLC Media Player!
Seems stupid, but all the changes あなた made will only be used the 次 time あなた open the player.

Important!
If あなた write something down for your screencaps names, it will stay the same until あなた change it!
So if あなた don´t want your "Little Mermaid" screencaps to be named after Pocahontas, あなた will have to change it again and close the player before taking them.


Step 6

Open the video あなた want to take screencaps from!
Once あなた see a screen あなた want to take, press the key または keys あなた decided to use aaaaaandd....




There あなた go! あなた just took your first screencap :)
Find the folder あなた choosed to save your screencaps into and have fun with them!


The good thing about this way is, that it doesn´t matter if あなた make the VLC window/the video smaller while taking the screencaps.
They will always be in the size and quality, the video normally has :)


I hope あなた understood everything i explained, if not -
write your 質問 down in the comments, so everyone can see them and so i can 編集 the 記事 faster (if i need to).


That´s it for now, bye guys and have fun!
