Kap: Is it have way to take single screenshot?

[vsychov]

Hi guys,

thank you for best macos application for screen recording.
I found, that is no way, to take one frame screenshot, am I wrong?

Hey @vsychov

Depends on what you mean. If you mean grab a screenshot from a recording, you can right click at any paused frame in the editor, and save a screenshot.

If you mean grab a screenshot of the screen, then no. Kap is focused on screen recording

[vsychov]

@karaggeorge , I mean 2nd option, grab a screenshot of the screen.
MacOs don't have good open source software, that can record videos and take screenshots together, and upload it somewhere, like ShareX on windows.

I think will be very cool, if Kap got this possibility in future.

hey @vsychov it's not open source but the built-in screencapture tool on macOS is quite good! the default keyboard shortcut is ⌘⇧3, more info here:

• $ man screencapture

@theopak The built-in is really nice, however it does not support defining the size of the capture area by writing it.

For example taking screenshots in 800x600 is quite hard with mac's tool.

@olivernybroe oh i neglected to include a link, but the cli does that! 😄

• example: $ screencapture -R 100,100,800,600 ~/Desktop/out.png
• copy of $ man page docs: https://ss64.com/osx/screencapture.html

Also built-in not support uploading to s3 or somewhere else

There is a huge whole in this area no other apps do this as well - I agree it would be a killer feature to add.
