Start Capture

Hello SharpCap Forum,
I suggest you consider making the following addition to SharpCap:
Start Capture
Select Capture Limit
Single Frame
Unlimited
Number of Frames
Time Limit
Start Capture Time
The addition of “Start Capture Time” to the “Start Capture’s” other four options will make timed captures more accurate and easier to use. The combination of “Start Capture Time” and “Time Limit” could be specified several minutes before the event start time, no need to set in front of the computer monitor staring at that UTC display with a finger on the mouse on track pad ready to hit start.
I am currently using SharpCap Pro (V3.2.6482), and I’m very pleased with this version. It would be even better with that “Start Capture Time” feature.
Cheers,
Bill Gimple

Hi Bill,

thanks for the suggestion - I'm not adding new features at the moment as I am concentrating on releasing SharpCap 4.0 and fixing as many bugs as possible, but I will note this idea down for a future update.

Note that you can achieve this in SharpCap 4.0 using the sequencer tool, but it is a more complicated way to do it than your idea : https://docs.sharpcap.co.uk/4.0/#The%20 ... e%20Editor

cheers,

Robin
