Copy and Pasting Computer Screen

[UFO]

I'm looking to make the big red bat winged Robotnik Robot from the Sonic the Hegdehog Movie. Problem is, I have no pics to compare it to but the vids on the internet. How do I copy and paste a screen or screenshots or just a picture of the screen and then put it on MS Paint or somehting so that I can save it?

I hope i can explain things properly...I'd appriciate if someone could translate that into normal understandable English too...

It depends whether you use Windows, Mac, or Linux. I think. Here's what I do anyway:

If you look at your key-board, up the top you see all the F1, F2, F3 etc. keys, then on the same line as they are, on the right of the keyboard, there should be a "PrtScn" or "PrtScn/SysRq" button. That's the "Print Screen" button, and if you push it, it copies your screen: takes a screenshot. Then you just need to go into paint, and go "paste", and it will past the screenshot you took.

Hope that helps. *sweet*

Good advice, but it often will not work with video because overlay is a video card function and is not really on the desktop. Some video players like Media Player Classic can save frames though. Give it a try anyway, but if you need more help UFO we need more info! Software, system, filetype... that kind of stuff! ;-)

I'm planning on making him sometime. If I ever get around to going in the attic and pulling out my Legos, though he'll probably be made of Bionicles.
