Take a Timed, Delayed, or Scheduled Image Capture
 Use the SnagIt Capture Timer option to perform unattended captures at intervals that you define. Examples
include following stock market tickers, monitoring factory floor equipment, and monitoring remote computer
operations.
 Use the Capture Timer option with the Web Output (FTP) to automatically update a Web site with screen
captures, or to automatically send e-mail with the screen capture as an attachment.
 Use the Delayed/Scheduled Capture option to set up a delayed capture (after a number of seconds) or a
scheduled capture (at a certain time or date).
 Use both options together to begin interval capture at some user-defined future date/time.
SnagIt is not accessible in the meantime and cannot be used for additional screen captures when a
delayed/scheduled capture is set.
The Timed Capture Setup option appears in the Options portion of the Profile Settings pane.
