Capturing Snapshots from Videos in FlipShare

Capturing Snapshots from Videos in FlipShare

The Snapshot feature in FlipShare allows you to capture multiple video frames simultaneously and save them as images. Please refer to the steps below for instructions on how to capture snapshots from your videos.

NOTE: Snapshots are saved in 640 x 480 pixel (standard resolution) or 1280 x 720 pixel (HD resolution) JPG files. For best results, please save the videos on your computer first to reduce the time it takes to generate the Snapshots.

Step 1:
Click on the FlipShare icon to launch the program. In FlipShare, select the video from which you want to capture a snapshot.

Step 2:
Click on the Snapshot button located at bottom area of the main FlipShare screen.

Step 3:
A Create Snapshots window should now appear on your screen. The image in the center represents the current frame while the 6 smaller images on top and below show the previous and following frames. Simply use the marker to navigate forward or backwards in the video until you see the perfect image you wish to capture.

Step 4:
To capture snapshots, simply drag any of the frames into the gray area on the right. Alternatively, you can also click on theTake Snapshot button.

Step 5:
Once you are ready to generate the snapshots, click .

NOTE: Clicking the save button without having frames in the stack, will only capture the current image in the main frame.

Step 6:
When you save snapshots, shortcuts to them are also placed in a Photos folder in the navigation pane. Clicking on the Snapshots folder displays thumbnails of all the snapshots that have been taken.

NOTE: Snapshots and images from other sources (i.e. imported image files) are found in the Snapshots folder in the Shortcuts section of the Navigation Pane in the older versions of FlipShare.
