How to take a snapshot in the VLC player
Taking a snapshot in VLC is an excellent way to capture your favorite movie scenes or screenshots of video frames. It’s very easy and takes only a few steps. Here’s how you can do it:
Firstly, open the VLC player on your computer and play the video which contains the frame that you want to take a snapshot of.
Next, pause the video at the exact moment where you wish to take a snapshot.
Then, click on “Video” from the menu bar located at the top of your screen and select “Take Snapshot.”
Alternatively, press Shift + S on your keyboard as a shortcut for taking snapshots.
Once done, go to your computer’s default picture location (e.g., Pictures folder) and look for ‘VLC’ folder. This will contain all snapshots taken by VLC media player sorted by date and time.
That’s it! You have successfully taken a snapshot in VLC media player with ease. Now let’s move onto our next section: Where does VLC save snapshots?
Where does the VLC player save snapshots?
After taking a snapshot in VLC player, you might be wondering where it has been saved. By default, the snapshots are saved in your Pictures folder on Windows and Linux systems. On Mac OS X, they will be saved to your Desktop.
However, if you want to change the location of the saved snapshots, you can do so by going into VLC’s preferences menu and selecting Video. From there, click on “Video Snapshots” and choose a new directory for saving your snapshots.
Another option is to manually save a snapshot during playback by using the hotkey Shift + S (Windows) or Command + Alt + S (Mac). This will prompt a dialog box that allows you to choose where to save your snapshot.
It’s also worth noting that VLC automatically names each snapshot with its corresponding timestamp. So even if you take multiple screenshots within seconds of each other while watching a video clip or movie file, they won’t overwrite one another – thanks to this nifty feature!
In summary, locating snapshots taken in VLC player is easy once you know where they’re being stored. And fortunately enough it’s quite easy changing their destination as well!
