Why is SharpCap always previewing frames?

Hi,

When I run SharpCap I read that it's immediately previewing an indefinite number of frames as indicated in the lower left corner of the window. Why is that? Thank you.

Cheers

Essentially SharpCap works like a video camera, or if you want to think about it another way like the camera on your phone. In both of those cases (like with SharpCap) you always see what the camera is seeing on the screen and you get to choose when to record movies or capture stills.

cheers,

Ok I understand, thank you. I thought SharpCap was recording and saving frames somewhere on my computer but I was wrong.
