Capture Wizard Features and Functions
Recording File Name:
Before Recording, check the Recording Filename box in the upper left hand corner of the application. The le
name you selected in the Wizard Screen is listed here.
1. Keep this le name if you wish or run the Wizard to use a new le name.
2. Check the “Auto Naming” box and CapWiz will automatically name each captured le in sequential order;
i.e. if your video le is “My Video”, the rst le captured will be named “My Video-000”, the second “My Video-001”
and so on.
3. Every time you stop a capture, the new le name will be displayed in Playback List box.
4. You can also uncheck “auto-naming” and click the “Unique” button and CapWiz will use the le name you enter
in the lename box. You need to provide a new le name for each video clip captured. If you do multiple
captures without changing the unique le name, the le will be written over each time you capture.
