Screenshots?


1.  How do you put screenshots on your blog?

Answer:  Hit the Print Screen key located in the upper right corner of the keyboard.  This copies an image of your computer screen.  Then open MS Paint, go to Edit, and select Paste.  This will paste your image into Paint.  From there you can crop or edit your screenshot, then save it as a picture file.  Screenshots could be used in blogs, PowerPoint presentations, or your Glog.


2.  How do I get a screenshot from a movie?

Answer:  You can do this easily by using Moviemaker.  Moviemaker is located in the multimedia tab on our school's application menu.  It also comes standard (free) with all Windows formats (XP, Vista, etc.).  Once you import your video into Moviemaker, start playing it with the preview window on the right side of the screen.  Pause the video at the exact frame that you want a picture of.  Then use the camera icon in the bottom right corner of the preview window to take a screenshot of the frame.
