How to Capture a Menu List using SnagIt
Hello Friends,
Today I have an interesting Tip and Trick for Snagit Users. If you own Snagit and do not know how to capture a menu list read on.
If you have never heard of this software SnagIt is the best screen capture software you can find in the market. Once you start using it you will wonder how you managed without it! Its like mobile phones
, how did we ever survive without them?? How did we ever survive without Snagit??
Snagit has five different capture modes and over 40 different ways to capture, no wonder, SnagIt outrules them all!
To start off, I’m going to ask you, “Do you know how to capture a menu/ dropdown list with your screen capture software?”
If your answer is “No”. Well, there can be two reasons why you picked that answer:
1. Your software doesn’t have the capability to do so.
Solution: Try SnagIt
2. You are using SnagIt but you have no idea how to do it.
Solution: Use the Time Delayed Capture.
How to Use the Time Delayed Capture
Open Snagit and select the Profile Mode you would like to use to Perform you Capture e.g region, scrolling mode etc. : (See image below)

Click on the ‘Capture’ menu (you find this on the top left of your snagit screen) and then select ‘Timer Setup…’ you get the screen below.

On the Timer Setup window shown above check the box for ‘Enable delayed/ Scheduled Capture
Select the Delayed Capture radio button and Set a time delay on the Delay field between 1 and 60 seconds.
Check the Display Countdown checkbox to see the countdown appear on the lower right-hand corner of your screen. Click Apply and OK.
Now you’re ready to capture your menu/dropdown list.
NOTE: Just make sure you have the Menu/Dropdown selected before the countdown ends. Once the countdown ends, wait for the capture box to appear and select your desired capture area.
Example:
