Hello there guys!

After disneyscreencaps.com had to take down all screencaps of 디즈니 영화 they had,
many people don´t know where they can get high quality screencaps for their editing, 아이콘 and crossover making needs.

Don´t worry, i´m here to help ;)


This tutorial will show 당신 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 당신 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 또는 keys 당신 want to take screencaps with.
I choosed "space", because it seemed the easiest key to press ;)

It is possible, that the key 또는 keys 당신 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 또는 keys :)




Step 4 (optional)

Go to "Video"
당신 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 당신 want to make your life easier, 당신 can, for example -

If 당신 want to take screencaps from Pocahontas,
write "Pocahontas" and choose the option "Sequential numbering". If 당신 do that all your screencaps will start with "Pocahontas" and will be followed 의해 a number (Pocahontas00001.png).
I normally only have the "Sequential numbering" option on, without a text. If 당신 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 당신 made will only be used the 다음 time 당신 open the player.

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


Step 6

Open the video 당신 want to take screencaps from!
Once 당신 see a screen 당신 want to take, press the key 또는 keys 당신 decided to use aaaaaandd....




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


The good thing about this way is, that it doesn´t matter if 당신 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 당신 understood everything i explained, if not -
write your 질문 down in the comments, so everyone can see them and so i can 편집 the 기사 faster (if i need to).


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