Hello,

What is the best way to capture a computer screen throgh FCP? But not just capture it, capture it so that the screen is legible and easy to see? it seems to come out blurry whether using camptasia or using a camera...

    Apple + Shift + 3 will capture the whole screen.



    Apple + Shift + 4 will allow you to drag a box around what you want.



    Both of these give you screen shots and saves them to your Desktop as Picture 1, Picture 2, etc...

    command + shift + 3 = screenshot (all screenshots are placed on the desktop).

    command + shift + 4 = allows you to select an area to make a screenshot of.

    command + shift + 4 + spacebar = takes a screenshot of a specific window, icon, etc.

    sort of yeah...I'm trying to videotape mouse movements on the screen of an ibm laptop but the quality is pretty crappy...
