User Guide

Use this option to capture a frame of video every few seconds. You can optionally specify the length of time over which to capture frames. You can set the playback frame rate using the
"Movie playback rate" field. Clicking "Video Settings…" will open the Video Settings dialog where the format of the movie file can be specified. After clicking "OK" you will be asked to specify the
name of the movie file to save. Note that setting the key frame rate in the Video Settings dialog will have no affect -all frames in time-lapse movies will be key frames. Similarly, setting the frame
rate in the Video Settings dialog will have no affect on time lapse movies either -the frame rate is set in this dialog instead.
Record Auto-Name Setup...
If Auto-name is checked, you may specify a destination folder and a "base" file name for recordings. This information will be used to save recordings automatically, without the need to
specify the location each time. The first recording made will have the name "base-name_0000", the second will be "base-name_0001", etc.
Digitizers Menu
Use the "Digitizers" menu to control which digitizer is the frontmost. If you close a digitizer's window, it will stay closed until it is selected again in this menu, even if you quit VideoGlide
Capture and relaunch it.
Preferences
Select "Preferences…" in the "VideoClide Capture" menu to set global preferences.
Check "Keep display awake while digitizers are open" to prevent the computer from going to sleep while you are watching the preview window or while you are in full-screen mode.
Check "Turn sound off while in background" to make VideoGlide Capture silent when it is not the foreground application.
Check "Add captured videos to iTunes" to automatically import movies into iTunes when each capture completes.
The Snapshot Button menu setting determines what happens when the snapshot button menu on certain devices is pressed. The first two settings, Snapshot and Record, will behave
as if Snapshot or Record were selected from the menus. If either of the "Auto-name" items are selected, then snapshots or recordings will proceed immediately without further input from the user.
Use the "Auto-Name Setup…" button to configure the base name and destination of files created using the Auto-Name options.
AppleScript
VideoGlide Capture has AppleScript support. Here are the available commands and parameters, and examples of their use:
Basic commands:
open
close
start recording
stop recording
take snapshot
Parameters:
window "device name"
e.g. window "device name"
Specifies which device by name, to open or close, or from which to start recording, stop recording or take a snapshot.
If this parameter is not specified, the front-most window is used (with the exception of the open command).
as [file] "filename"
e.g. take snapshot as ((path to desktop as string) & "picture1")
start recording as ((path to desktop as string) & ":movie1")
start recording as file "Hard Drive:Movies:movie2"
Specifies the destination for a recording or snapshot.
In the examples above, picture1 will be saved to the desktop, movie1 will be saved one folder above the desktop, i.e. your personal folder, movie2 will be saved to the folder
"Pictures" on the hard drive "Hard Drive". Note that ':'s are required to separate folders not '/'s. Inserting an extra ":" means "up one level".
If this parameter is not specified, VideoGlide Capture will ask for the file name, or auto-name the file if auto-name is enabled.
with large
e.g. take snapshot window "device name" with large
