Set Up Your Capture > Capture Options > Timer Setup

Timer Setup

Select the Timer Setup option to set up the capture timer. The timer can be set up to perform unattended captures at defined intervals, a timed delay, or at a specific date and time.

Some examples of its use include following stock market tickers, monitoring factory floor equipment, and monitoring remote computer operations. The timer-activated capture feature can be used in conjunction with SnagIt's Web output (FTP) to automatically update a Web site with screen captures, or even to automatically send e-mail with the screen capture as an attachment.

Note: When using timer-activated capture, disable all popup messages and select the Log Events to a File option. This allows SnagIt to operate unattended, since communications errors can occur for a number of reasons. SnagIt logs the errors, and then continues running.

The SnagIt Capture Timer enables SnagIt to perform unattended captures at intervals that you define. Some examples of its use include following stock market tickers, monitoring factory floor equipment, and monitoring remote computer operations. The timer-activated capture feature can be used in conjunction with SnagIt's Web output (FTP) to automatically update a Web site with screen captures, or even to automatically send e-mail with the screen capture as an attachment.

But that is not all. SnagIt offers another handy option for timed captures. Delayed/Scheduled Capture allows you to take screenshots at either a timed delay or at a specific date and time. While you concentrate on the hard-to-handle application that you are trying to capture, SnagIt will take the screenshot without you having to press the hotkey or move the mouse. The Capture Preview window, if turned on, offers you all usual editing options.

Both options can be used in conjunction so that SnagIt can be configured to begin interval capture at some user-defined future date/time. But keep in mind that SnagIt is not accessible in the meantime and can not be used for any additional screen shots when a delayed/scheduled capture is set.

To access the Timer Setup Options, within the main SnagIt interface, select the Timer Setup button , or in the Classic and Compact Views go to View > Timer Setup from the menu bar.

Note: SnagIt's interface changes when timed capture is activated: you will get a Stop Timer Capture button both in the SnagIt toolbar and the Capture Preview window. This button will suspend the timed capture sequence you have started.
