Capture Screenshots by Duration or End Time

Screenshot Capture can now stop after a duration or at a specific end time, with a cleaner options layout.

Screenshot Capture now gives you more ways to decide when a capture session should stop. You can still capture a fixed number of screenshots, but Pro users can also run a session for a set duration or until a specific date and time.

Demo

Choose whether Screenshot Capture stops after a screenshot count, a duration, or a specific end time.

Stop by time

The new Stop condition control lets you choose the mode that fits the job:

  • Capture a fixed number of screenshots.
  • Capture for a duration, such as 5 minutes or 1 hour.
  • Capture until an end time, including the date and time.

This is useful when the session is tied to time instead of a frame count: recording proof that a job kept running, keeping a lightweight black box record of a setup or test pass, or making a simple timelapse without planning the exact number of screenshots first.

Cleaner capture settings

We also reorganized the Screenshot Capture setup screen so the options are easier to scan. Presets stay at the top, while capture settings now sit in a clearer Options section with aligned labels and controls.

Previous Screenshot Capture setup with capture settings written as sentence-style rows
Before: settings were written as longer sentence rows.
Updated Screenshot Capture setup with grouped options and stop condition tabs
After: options are grouped, aligned, and easier to adjust.

Why it matters

Long capture sessions should not require mental math. If you are documenting a 30-minute export, checking a fragile setup flow, capturing a dashboard, or letting a quick timelapse run in the background, you can now set the stop condition directly and let Shotomatic handle the rest.
