Screenshot feature not working. Please help.

[ode1979]

Hey thanks for reading, hope this is the last time asking for help. Anyway, when i started with PBX i recall that for the tables that i couldnt find the artwork, i could just press "s" on my keyboard and voala...magic artwork. So i got me a bunch of futurepinball tables, most of the had the wheels, but not all of them have table or backglass images. So i thought , no problem ill just go "s" key on each game, but now the screenshot feature is not working for me. Not at all. Im using windows 10 x64, all exes are in admin mode,BAm works nice with pbx so i think i got everything ok and changed "s" to "u" as mentioned in some other similar topics . Thanks for any advise.

Please post your log too but I am not aware of the feature not working although most people create videos these days with PinballX rather than screenshots.

You normally just get a black bitmap with Future Pinball though. Is that what you are seeing? If you have a recent NVIDIA card you can use the video driver capture.

i ended up using an old trick from  here, works nice, but now the videos im creating display black screens, i can see only the wheels, so i guess im missing the codecs, im gonna play with that, thanks Tom.

And by the way, yes, creating screenshots with pinballx only gives black thumbs or images.

That may be addressed soon. I am working on something as we speak.

This fixed the videos not displayed. Now im new to future pinball, so i thought BAM was a 1 click solution on having all tables nice centered, i was wrong, i have to go one game at a time to make sure it looks nice and the create my videos. @Tom Speirs i really dont mind using the pbxvideos creator script as is automatic but yes,if you can icorporate something into pbx that would be great. Thanks for the hard work and good work.

As Tom mentioned,  if you have an NVIDIA  catd, you can capture it via pbx/ gamemanager /database manager 

Heres the setup

I have amd, and im using the old script found in here, work like a charm, i had to do some research to get it to work, but once is set up, it does everything automatica. Now i just have to do a few at the time, ill probably take me a couple of days. But it does look nice. I also getting to understand BAM a little, more, most tables load centered now, just got to adjust a few ones. Im getting there, Thanks for the help.
