Apple Video System: How to Perform a Screen Capture (12/96)

I have the Apple Video System installed in my computer and was trying to capture a frame in Apple Video Player using the screen capture function of the Mac OS (Shift-Command-3). I hear the click sound, but when I open the picture file with SimpleText, the captured frame is missing - the Apple VideoPlayer window is black. How do I capture video frames?


Apple Video Player and the Video-In System does not support the screen capture function of the Mac OS to capture individual frames. To capture an individual frame, use the controls that are part of Apple Video Player.

How to Capture Video Frames
===========================

Step 1
------
Open Apple Video Player.

Step 2
------
Select the camera icon from the Controls window.

Step 3
------
Click "Capture Picture" when the frame you want to save appears.

A dialog appears.

Step 4
------
Click Save.

Step 5
------
Enter a name for the file.


The file opens using SimpleText and shows the captured frame.
