Capture Video with Snagit
Hello Friend,
To all Snagit fanatics out there many of whom until now did not know that apart from capturing images with Snagit you can also perform a video capture using only Snagit.
If you have never heard of Snagit this is the World’s No.1 screen capture software, but not only does it perform screen capture you can also perform Video Captures!
Normally, people tend to stereotype Snagit as an Image or Text Capture software ONLY. What they don’t know is that, Snagit has the capability too, to capture a video. Below we’ll see a how-to video of capturing video using Snagit.
Before you proceed with the video there are settings that need to be configured for the Snagit produced videos to come out good and working.
How to Avoid Common Snagit Video Capture Errors
Black Screen after Video Capture:
This is due to graphics hardware acceleration being used to display the image/video, it performs a “hardware overlay” causing it to produce a black screen.
The only way to solve this is to disable the graphics hardware acceleration, if you do not know how to do this please follow the instructions below:
• Windows XP or 2000: Right-click on the desktop and select Properties > Settings > Advanced > Troubleshoot. Set the Hardware acceleration slider to None. See image.

• On other versions of Windows: Select Control Panel > System > Performance tab > Graphics > Advanced settings. Set the Hardware acceleration slider to None.
No Audio on Video Capture
Set your Audio Capture Device to Audio, to do so, just click Snagit’s output > Properties > on the Audio Capture Device, change it to your audio > click Apply > OK.

Now you’re all set!
