Website Capture runs and results | User Guide

Every URL advances independently through the batch.

Shotomatic Website Capture showing processing and failed URL rows in the same batch — Each URL has its own state and action while the rest of the batch continues.

State	Meaning
Capture pending	Waiting for an available browser slot.
Capturing	The page is loading or being captured.
Cancel requested	Cancellation was requested while work is shutting down.
Capture cancelled	The page stopped without a completed frame.
Retry pending	A failed or cancelled page is queued again.
Capture complete	A frame was saved.
Capture failed	The page could not produce a frame.

A failed row can show a specific error instead of Capture failed.

Cancel and retry one page

Cancel an eligible row without stopping the rest of the batch. Retry a failed or cancelled row when its Retry control becomes available; it does not need to wait for every other URL to finish.

Stop the batch

Select Stop Capture to end remaining work and preserve completed frames. Inputs, row options, and concurrency unlock after the run settles.

Review results

Completed frames appear in the screenshot pane and the saved Capture History session. Select frames to export them or create a Document from the whole session.

A mixed-result batch can be marked Partial. A user-stopped batch may be Cancelled even when some completed frames remain available.

Shotomatic Website Capture result with two completed URLs and one failed URL ready to retry — Completed pages remain selectable and exportable when another URL fails.

Common causes of failure

invalid or unsupported URL;
browser components are not ready;
the page timed out under the chosen wait condition;
the site blocked automation or failed to render;
the Mac did not have enough memory for the selected concurrency.

Lower concurrency, change the wait condition, add a short delay, or disable a blocker for the affected URL before retrying.
