Convert Videos into Screenshots

Converting a video into screenshots lets Content Developers and Instructional Designers capture screens from an imported workflow video using Replica Video Capture in Skyllful Studio, then add the captures to a Lesson or the Screen Library.

How do you capture screens from a video?

Step Action
1 Open Replica Video Capture for your Learning Program from Quick Links on the Learning Program Overview screen.
2 Import your screen recording.
3 Configure the Screen Capture settings:
  • Autocrop Stills: uses AI to make a best guess at cropping the screen boundaries.
  • Autoconvert Stills: automatically converts screenshots into editable screen Replicas.
4 Select the video, then select Select.
5 Play the video and select Capture Replica for each relevant screen.

What can you do with your captured screens?

Skyllful saves your captured screens to the Screen Library. Then choose one of the following.

If you want to Do this
Add the screen Replicas to a new Lesson Select Create Lesson.
Add the screen Replicas to an existing Lesson Select Append to Lesson.
Review the screenshots in the Screen Library instead Select Close.

What are the best practices?

  • If your screens do not need much text editing, toggle Autoconvert off before you capture.
  • When you batch edit screens, you can add cropping bounds easily.
  • You can reorder captured screens before you import them into a Lesson.

How do you troubleshoot capture problems?
