Anyone know how to capture a series of snapshots with HS-DX in Free-cam mode, without it reverting back to another camera view each time?

I'm trying to extract a 360 series.

cheers,

zig :D

hello,

I'm afraid that hypersnap doesn't have such a feature, try to mail to the hypersnap DX's author if hypersnap is able to make series of snapshots automatically, e.g. 10 snapshots per second or so

Not a problem .. Hypersnap Dx setup, go to capture--->quick save, then all you have to do is set up the path and picture format to save to ie:> c:>snaps\pic.gif and also to set up the number of snaps to take Eg:> start at 1 stop at 100, the next solution to taking pics in free cam, i have found that the higher the resolution in the Fifa 2001 game the more demanding it is on your system to keep taking snapshots, ok then, i usually go for 1200 res in the game and most of the time i can keep snapping pics in free cam mode, if it wont take more than one, just move to the next cam view and pick it up from there, i don't know if it is a bug in hypersnap or due to the higher res configs when you setup etc..also make sure that the quick save option is ticked after you set it all up .. another trick to attain better pics is to save them in *.tif format, the tif files are huge, but the reason i use them is due to the fact that they dont distort the snaps due to any compression modes, after i cut out any detail or resize them, all i do then is to save the end results in either *.gif or *jpg or the best preference is to save\export them as a transparency in *.Tube format in Paint shop pro" , my prefered pic format is *.gif due to the fact that *.jpg has a higher compression mode 'smaller byte size' but it also can distort the edges of any focal piece that you place in the pics ..but i don't want to get into any heated discourse on the yays and nays of graphic modes, because that is an individual choice ..but getting back to the main question, as far is i know and as Lukas mentioned, there is no auto\multi pic snap options in this program, all pics are taken on a manual frame by frame basis, ie:> one mouse click at a time to work your way through any sequence untill you have snapped what you are after ..
