Video Snapshots Genius

There are times when you need to take shots from videos being played. For example, you may wish to use them as video thumbnails or for review purposes. Either way, you need a software that can help you in this matter. You could certainly use the Print Screen function included in Windows and then edit the captured image in Paint, but this takes a lot of time and effort and the results may not be what you expect. A better idea would be using a specialized software for that. One such software is Video Snapshots Genius. As the name states, the program can take screenshots from any playing video and can save them as image files.

The software takes little time to install and can run in most versions of the Windows operating system. The hard disk space occupied by the program is around 4 MB.

The interface of Video Snapshots Genius doesn't need any explanation, as it's intuitive and straightforward, having all the controls at the user's reach. Captures can be created automatically using various settings. For example, Video Snapshots Genius can take a certain number of shots or can capture video frames from time to time. The capturing process can also be done in a manual way, by selecting the position in the video where the shot should be taken. Shots can be saved in one of the image formats supported by the program. These include JPEG, BMP and PNG, each format having its own quality settings.

The program allows creating a thumbnail page with numerous captured images, each one of them having its time position in the movie, allowing anyone to make an idea about a movie before he watches it. Video Snapshots Genius includes a batch mode, for processing and taking captures from more video files at once, thus saving time and effort.
