Overview

What Video Snapshots Genius does

A closer look at the program and everything it can do for you.

Video Snapshots Genius is the video snapshot software for capturing movie scenes to single image files or a thumbnail gallery. The program supports almost all popular formats — MPEG, AVI, WMV, DivX, Flash video (*.flv), RealMedia, QuickTime and DVD — and can open a video for preview playback without any other player.

The program provides a simple point-and-click interface to take snapshots directly from a movie. Snapshots can be taken manually by browsing through a movie to snag the frames you need, or automatically at the time intervals you have predefined. The number of snapshots can be configured to your preference.

The output format is configurable too. With just a few clicks you can set width and height, choose a folder to save files, specify the name prefix for automatic naming and choose the image format: BMP, JPEG, GIF, PNG or TIFF. Adjustments of brightness and contrast are possible in the built-in picture editor, and the results can be viewed in the picture viewer. Besides that, the program can create thumbnails of snapshots and add a timestamp to them.

Users find Video Snapshots Genius useful in many ways

1

Make snapshots of your home video

Like most people with a phone or camera, you have plenty of videos of family holidays, birthdays and weddings that you would like to keep not only as movies but also as photos. Snapshots are easy to share by e-mail or on photo web sites.

2

Make your own DVD / VCD menus with title slides

Home movie enthusiasts can add snapshots of key scenes to a custom DVD menu. Choose the scene that symbolizes a portion of the movie and capture it, make a few enhancements and add it to your DVD menu editor.

3

Build a compelling video web site

Take snapshots of a video to add to a video web site, a catalog of videos or a presentation. Stills make the content immediately recognisable, and a series of snapshots can be turned into an animated banner.

4

Create your own avatar

Capture your favourite scene or actor and use it as a personal avatar on a forum, in a messenger or on social media.
