Capture presets

A preset fills in the Auto Capture options with one selection. This page lists the built-in presets and explains how to apply, save and remove them.

Built-in presets

A preset stores four values: stop condition, interval, key press and countdown. It does not store a capture source, so one preset works with any screen, window or custom area.

Temposhot includes three presets.

Preset	Stop condition	Interval	Key press	Countdown
Kindle	20 screenshots	500 ms	Right Arrow	3 s
Quick Demo	5 screenshots	1 second	None	3 s
Timelapse	1 hour	3 seconds	None	5 s

Presets that use Duration or End time are part of Temposhot Pro. On the free plan they show a Pro lock, and selecting one opens the license dialog instead of applying the values.

Apply a preset

1. Select the preset

   Select an unlocked preset under Presets at the top of Auto Capture. The four options update immediately.

2. Choose the source again

   Applying a preset clears the current source. Select a screen, window or custom area before you start.

3. Start the run

   Select Start Capture, or Start Auto Capture in the custom area overlay.

Save the current setup

1. Configure the options

   Set the stop condition, interval, key press and countdown.

2. Open the save dialog

   Select Save Current Setup.

3. Name the preset

   Enter a name in Preset name. The name cannot be empty and must differ from existing presets.

4. Save

   Select Save Preset. The new preset appears next to the built-in ones.

If the name is already taken, Temposhot shows "A preset with this name already exists." Choose another name and save again.

Names that describe the target and the timing are easier to find later.

Example name	Setup
Dashboard every 10 minutes	Duration, 10-minute interval, no key
Slides with Right Arrow	Screenshots, 2-second interval, Right Arrow
Long article scroll	Screenshots, 1-second interval, Down Arrow

Remove a preset

Use Remove preset on any preset to delete it. This also works for the three built-in presets. Removing a preset does not delete sessions that were captured with it.
