I am adding a timer to my videos, which is an avi file. I need to have the timer hold on 0:00:00 for a while before it starts. Then I need it to freeze on the final time.
Normally I take a snapshot of the entire screen (full res version of the preview window). Then I have to mess around with a mask transparency so things around it can still be seen moving when the clock starts and stops.
I've just clicked the snapshot button but this time it created a BMP of the timer at 0:00:00, keeping the size to the original video dimensions, which is fantastic. Problem is I can't get PowerDirector to do a snapshot like this again. It's now doing the entire screen like normal.
If you look at the image...

I would love to take snapshots of a particular frame within a video and overlay that instead of messing around with masks. Any ideas how I did this and how I do it again?
Thanks
