Set Up Your Capture > Capture Input > Input Properties

Input Properties

The Input Properties options give you even more control over defining your capture. Once you select your mode of capture and the desired capture Input, you are ready to set Input Properties that are needed.

To access the input properties, on the Input dropdown menu, select Properties. The Input Properties tabbed dialog box displays.

Note: The exact property tabs found in the Input Properties dialog box differ according to which capture mode is selected.

The following table gives a general description of each of the tabs found in the Input Properties dialog box along with the capture mode(s) where each tab is available for use. Additionally, you will find a link to more specific information on the options found in that tab.

Input Tab	Available in Capture Mode	Description and Use
General	Image	Use the General tab to change the background color to be used outside the capture area. This is useful when capturing irregular shapes using an Input > Shapes selection. See also General Properties.
Fixed Region	Image Text Video	The Fixed Region is the rectangle that appears that allows you to capture a particular space on the screen. The fixed region size can be changed within this tab. To change the default value, select the Select button and draw a rectangle on the screen the size that you would like to use. Select Apply. See also Fixed Region Properties.
Menu	Image	The Menu tab contains the option to include the menu bar during a menu capture. You can also select to capture cascaded menus. See also Menu Properties.
Scrolling	Image Text	Allows you to set up options for Auto Scrolling. The Foreground the Scrolling Window box is enabled by default. This option forces a scrolling window that is selected for capture to be brought to the foreground to be seen while scrolling. Note: The Foreground option applies to all Input options that permit the use of Auto Scroll (Window, Active Window, Region and Fixed Region for use with Image or Text captures). Disabling this option can be a solution to problems that can occur when putting a scrolling window in the foreground (e.g., putting the window to the foreground causes 3D animation to become active). Try specifying a Scroll Delay if scrolling capture fails. Experiment with increasing the Scroll Delay, starting with 300 milliseconds, for example. In the Window Auto Scroll options box, set the Scroll Direction to Vertical, Horizontal, or Both. If you select Vertical, also select Scroll from Top of Document. If you select Horizontal, also select Scroll from Left of Document. If you select Both, scroll is from the top and left. See also Scrolling Properties and Working with the Scroll Features.
Scanners & Cameras	Image	Use the Scanners & Cameras tab to select the scanner or camera source device; otherwise the system default device is used. Select the Select button to select the desired device from the available list. Note: TWAIN is a standard software interface that allows applications to communicate with a digital imaging device. SnagIt allows selection of a TWAIN device such as a scanner or camera as the capture source for images. This Input option allows users to automatically specify the size, shape, direction, shade, and other processing options of images as they are transferred from the devices to the PC. See also Scanners & Cameras Properties.
Extended Window (only available on Windows XP)	Image	Note: This feature is only available in SnagIt installed on Windows XP. Extended Window Capture allows you to capture windows that are potentially much bigger than the screen. Like Auto Scroll, Extended Window Capture permits capturing more than is visible on your screen. For example, an Internet Web site that is quite long and scrolls off screen would be much easier to capture in one step using extended window capture. This feature is quicker and easier than Auto Scroll and also captures the window frame, which Auto Scroll does not do. See also Extended Window Properties.
Links / Hotspots	Image	Use this tab to select what kinds of links and hotspots are kept. See also Links / Hotspots Properties.
Object	Text	Use the Object tab to select what data to capture for Object input while using the Text Capture button. Put a check mark adjacent to those items to include in the capture. See also Object Properties.
Video Capture Preferences	Video	Allows you to control SnagIt preferences related to video capture. See also Video Capture Preferences Properties.
Fixed Address	Web	Use the Fixed Address tab to enter a default URL that will be used during a Web Capture. See also Fixed Address Properties.
Web Capture Preferences	Web	Allows you to control SnagIt preferences related to Web capture. See also Web Capture Preferences Properties and Proxy Settings Dialog Box.
Printer Capture Preferences Options	Printer	Allows you to set the directory where temporary printer capture files are stored. You can also set SnagIt to close after the Printer Capture if you do not want it to continue running. See also Printer Capture Preferences Tab.
