Here's a summary of CaptureWiz's input tools. Use these input tools to capture images, audio or video. To access the tools, on the capture bar click Capture, or right-click the taskbar notification icon.

Speed capture When the predictive object finder automatically outlines the area you want, just click to capture that exact area fast. Otherwise, drag the mouse to capture any random area. See tips below about canceling or adjusting the selected area. |
|
|
Full screen capture This tool captures the full screen. |
|
|
2-point capture Capture any area by clicking two corners, or by dragging the mouse. Great if you have an unsteady hand because you don't have to hold the mouse button down. |
|
|
Frame capture The frame tool is an open rectangular ruler that shows the dimensions of your selected area in pixels and inches. It opens fast, remembers its position, and lets you interactively prepare applications below it - even through the middle of the frame. Position the frame over the desired material and click OK. Move the frame by dragging its inside edge, resize the frame by dragging its outside edge. Or, use the keyboard arrow keys. |

Auto scroll capture Automatically capture oversize content that extends outside a window by scrolling vertically and/or horizontally. More about full auto scroll |
|
|
Manual scroll capture Capture a column of information that extends below a window by scrolling down manually. You control the left, right, top and bottom of what’s captured. More about manual scroll capture |

Video recording Record video and audio, then convert to WMV, AVI or GIF files. More about video recording |

|
Audio recording Record sound to a WAV file. More about audio recording |

Last program capture This tool captures the last active application (that’s usually the one you want). |

Window capture Capture window components with one click. |
Canceling captures
To cancel a capture, right-click anywhere or press the ESC key.
Capturing an exact area
To set the precise position of the red outlined selection area, press the keyboard arrow keys. Hold down SHIFT while pressing arrow keys to set the precise size of the selection area. Press ENTER to finalize your selection. Mix clicks, drags, ARROW and ENTER keys in any order.
Or use the Frame tool, Window tool or Last program capture tools.
Switching tools
During capture, you can press the CTRL key to switch between capture tools - from speed capture to 2-point capture to window capture and back.
