Capture Features
Screen Captures Made Easy
MadCap Capture is designed to give users more control over the content they incorporate into their documentation. More than a screen capturing application, MadCap Capture lets you edit and enhance images captured from your screen, giving you authority over your content.
Ease of Use
- Editable layers for text or effects separate from the image
- Special effects to focus attention on specific areas
- Adjustable image scale
- Time Delay (e.g. capture open drop-down menus)
- Resize automatically
- Flexible interface
- Adjustable capture area — full screen, application, menu, region, etc.
- Custom image settings for:
- Resolution
- Color depth
- Crop size
Single-Sourcing
- User image profiles to define different image attributes for print or online
- Use variables to re-use content throughout images
- Use condition tags in Capture for more enhanced single-sourcing
Integration
- Shared palettes ensure consistency with Mimic
- Direct linking from Flare or Blaze into Capture
- Share variable libraries with Flare, supporting single-sourcing across media types
Language Support
- Unicode capable for all left-to-right languages
- XML-based image property files can be used by translators in a third-party editor
- Direct integration with MadCap Lingo for translation of text call-outs
“I just got Capture yesterday and installed it late in the afternoon. So today I opened
it to take a look, and I started with the Getting Started Guide. Well, I cannot tell you when I've had so much fun with software!
This application is great! Even though I am going through the Guide, I really wouldn't have to, to learn the software. It is super-intuitive, and a very powerful application. I have had such a good time playing with Capture--now I can't wait to use it on a real job!
I also have Flare, but I haven't really spent much time with it yet. I am looking forward to it, though. I've been a RoboHelp user for more than 10 years, but I can't say I'm sorry not to be using it anymore. It's just so buggy and fragile now that it's hard to use. So I'm a MadCap convert!
Just love that Capture! ”
