When screenshots or videos are needed for comparisons, provide them from in-game sources. Do not use "studio" applications to provide shots and/or video. In-game lighting conditions and rendering can change the appearance of many textures compared to studio applications. Therefore, it is very important to capture these comparisons from within the game itself. | When screenshots or videos are needed for comparisons, provide them from in-game sources.

[http://www.fraps.com/ FRAPS] is an excellent program for both screen and video captures in-game as well as capturing FPS data; however, feel free to use your preferred program for captures. The paid version of FRAPS provides more file formats for screen captures and PNG is the preferred format due to it's accuracy in capturing correct colors. JPEG can be used; however, some loss of correct coloring can be lost. Do not use GIF format! For video capture, AVI or MP4 file formats are best. FRAPS will capture videos in the AVI format. | |||
When uploading captures for posting compares on the STEP forums, please use a 3rd party service. Do not store your captures on the STEP wiki! [http://imgur.com/ Imgur] has proven to be an excellent free image hosting site for uploading screen captures to. For video captures, please you YouTube. Other sites have proven annoying to use, most requiring an account to view the videos. YouTube videos can also be included right in the post using the video clip button in the formatting bar on the forum. | |||
