PowerPoint and OneNote MVP Kathy Jacobs has a great sneaky SnagIt trick on her blog. You can check it out here.

When Kathy has a computer process that she needs repeated screenshots of, she uses the Capture Timer option in SnagIt for timed shots. Or, another great use of timed captures is to document things that happen too fast to capture by hand. Kathy gave a great example of a time she got an error on software she was testing. She kept getting an error that disappeared before she could read it, let alone capture it. That's where automatic screenshots came in - run the software, captured the error with SnagIt's timed capture, and document the bug! Simple!

Read more ways that Kathy uses this feature here. She also shows you how to set up timed captures too.

Thanks for the inspiration, Kathy! There is also a tutorial on our website here. Have you used the Capture Timer in SnagIt before?
