Copy Video Display command
To capture the current screen image by copying, choose
Copy Video Display from the Edit menu or press x-C.
Important When you use Copy Video Display or press x-
C, the current screen image is copied to the Clipboard. The
image is not saved on a disk. (To save an image that’s on
the Clipboard, you must paste it into a document or the
Scrapbook.)
Capturing movies
Before capturing a movie and saving it on a disk, you may
want to choose a compression rate so that the movie takes
up less disk space (but is of lesser quality), following the
instructions in “Using Compression,” below. If you don’t
want to choose a compression rate just yet, go on to
“Recording” on the next page.
Using compression
With compression you can store movies in a much smaller
space than they would normally require. To use
compression, follow these steps before you record a movie:
1 Choose Preferences from the Setup menu.
