Video Input Capture Preferences Properties Input drop-down menu > Properties > Video Capture Preferences tab. Define Snagit video capture options Option Description Temporary capture file directory Select the directory to put temporary video. The AVI video capture file can be large. Select a TEMP directory on a drive with fast data transfer and plenty of space. Pause before starting capture Open a status screen before video capturing starts. The pause allows you to see video settings before you start recording. Boost priority during capture Select to give Snagit video recording higher priority to your computer CPU. We recommend you select this option unless the performance of the program is affected. Hide capture rectangle Turn off the video capture focus rectangle during captures. Use fast internal compression during capture Automatically use fast real-time compression during video capture. Depending on the codec compression speed, AVI rendering times may be long after capture. Show tray icon during capture Display a blinking Snagit icon in the Windows System Tray while recording. Capture layered windows Capture moving images from programs with layered windows (for example, the animated assistant in Microsoft Word is shown in a layered window.) Layered window capture applies to Microsoft Windows 2000 and XP or later. Default Reset the default Video Capture Preferences.
