If you pass this size limit, the entire capture will be lost. </p> <a name="wp9005266"> </a><p class="pBody"> Video files can be placed in other Windows programs and in all Microsoft Office programs. The file shows the video viewer where you pasted the AVI file. The viewer is stopped on the first frame of the captured video. The user can view, pause, stop, replay, and close the video by clicking the controls on the viewer. </p> <a name="wp9005267"> </a><p class="pBody"> AVI file size tends to be quite large for long, complex videos.

To prevent this, practice precision movements of the cursor to the menu or button you must click, pausing for a fraction of a second over the element, then clicking. On the video capture, the cursor travels smoothly to the menu or button and stops there briefly before movement happens and a different screen or menu attracts the viewer&#39;s eye. </p> </blockquote> <hr /> <table id="SummaryNotReq2" align="right" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td align="right"> <a href="http://www.techsmith.com/"><font size="2">http://www.techsmith.com/</font></a></td> </tr> </table> <table id="SummaryNotReq3" width="110" border="0" align="left" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td> <a accesskey="4" href="SnagIt_8.1_Help-1-066.html"><img id="LongDescNotReq3" src="images/prev.gif" border="0" alt="Previous" /></a><a accesskey="5" href="SnagIt_8.1_Help-1-068.html"><img id="LongDescNotReq4" src="images/next.gif" border="0" alt="Next" /></a> </td> </tr> </table> <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2"> <!-- document.write(VarHTMLHelp.fPopupDivTag()); // --> </script> <CET_ADSENSEF> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-5291624188982543"; /* 728x90, A>740=> 04.02.08 */ google_ad_slot = "9704471239"; google_ad_width = 728; google_ad_height = 90; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> </CET_ADSENSEF> <CET_FOOTER> <table width="100%" border="0"> <tr> <td colspan="2" bgcolor="#0099FF"><div align="right" class="style1"> <div align="center"><font color="#FFFFFF">You are reading help file online using chmlib.com</font></div> </div></td> </tr> </table> <hr align="left" width="650"><BR> If you want your help file to be removed or added please send e-mail to chmlibcom@gmail.com </CET_FOOTER> </body> </html>
