[tutz] how to both manually and automatically take screenshots in VLC Media Player 

Thank you so much!! I'm gonna give Power Toys a try.

@@alisonleigh You're welcome. Power Toys also comes with a program called Power Rename and it will tell you when there is an update if you have your notifications on with Windows 10. Auto capping can be useful.

Me too... samething

Belatedly (sorry!): It depends on what you're using it for! My use case is for screencaps that people turn into expressive icons to use for roleplay, so capturing as many expressions as possible is important. In that case, I usually set my frame capture to every 20 frames. Anything less and it seems to capture redundant/too similar frames. Admittedly, capturing a screenshot 20 frames generates a TON of screencaps and it's tedious to sort through when I capture movies. (But I do it anyway.) If you don't need to capture every little smirk and microexpression, you can set that to a bigger number and take fewer screenshots. My best recommendation is start with maybe 20-30 and let it run for a minute, and then look inside your screenshot folder to judge if the screencaps are to your liking for what you need them for.

Sorry for the late reply, but it's at 1:05. Tools > Preferences > Hotkeys You'll double click on the hotkey you want to change and it'll pop up with a dialogue that says "Press the new key or combination for [whatever action you're changing the hotkey for]" then press the button(s) for the new hotkey you want.
