Class
StudioScreenshotCapture
NotCreatableNotReplicated
Represents a single screenshot captured from Studio, exposing the resulting image buffer and the parameters the capture was taken with.
Studio-only capture result that requires plugin security — not available in
published experiences. Produced by
CaptureScreenshot() and
CapturePluginGui(). It holds the encoded image data together with the region
and format used for the capture, and reports progress through
BufferStatus.
The image is populated asynchronously.
BufferStatus defaults to
StudioCaptureBufferStatus.NotStarted, becomes
StudioCaptureBufferStatus.Pending while capturing and encoding,
StudioCaptureBufferStatus.Ready once the image is available, or
StudioCaptureBufferStatus.Error if capture failed. Retrieve the image
with GetBuffer(), read failure
details with GetErrors(), and
produce a resized copy with
ScaleAsync().
Properties 6#
BufferFormatStudioCaptureScreenshotFormat | The pixel format of the image data returned by
GetBuffer().Read: PluginSecurityWrite: PluginSecurityReadSafeReadOnlyNotReplicated |
BufferStatusStudioCaptureBufferStatus | Reflects the current state of the capture as its image data is produced.Read: PluginSecurityWrite: PluginSecurityReadSafeReadOnlyNotReplicated |
OriginalSizeVector2 | The size, in pixels, of the region available for capture from
Position to the edge of the
Studio view.Read: PluginSecurityWrite: PluginSecurityReadSafeReadOnlyNotReplicated |
PositionVector2 | The top-left corner, in pixels, of the captured region within the Studio view.Read: PluginSecurityWrite: PluginSecurityReadSafeReadOnlyNotReplicated |
ResolutionVector2 | The pixel dimensions of the captured image.Read: PluginSecurityWrite: PluginSecurityReadSafeReadOnlyNotReplicated |
UICaptureModeUICaptureMode | Indicates which user-interface layers were included in the capture.Read: PluginSecurityWrite: PluginSecurityReadSafeReadOnlyNotReplicated |
BufferFormat: StudioCaptureScreenshotFormat#
ReadOnlyNotReplicatedRead: PluginSecurityWrite: PluginSecurityReadSafe
The StudioCaptureScreenshotFormat the capture's image data is
encoded in, and therefore the format of the buffer returned by
GetBuffer(). Defaults to
StudioCaptureScreenshotFormat.RGBA8, in which the buffer holds four
bytes (red, green, blue, alpha) per pixel; when
StudioCaptureScreenshotFormat.PNG, the buffer holds a PNG-encoded
image. This property is read-only and reflects the Format requested when
the capture was created.
BufferStatus: StudioCaptureBufferStatus#
ReadOnlyNotReplicatedRead: PluginSecurityWrite: PluginSecurityReadSafe
The StudioCaptureBufferStatus describing where the capture is in
its lifecycle. Defaults to StudioCaptureBufferStatus.NotStarted, is
set to StudioCaptureBufferStatus.Pending while the image is being
captured and encoded, becomes StudioCaptureBufferStatus.Ready once
the image data is available, and becomes
StudioCaptureBufferStatus.Error if the capture fails. Only when the
value is StudioCaptureBufferStatus.Ready does
GetBuffer() return image data;
otherwise that method raises an error. This property is read-only.
OriginalSize: Vector2#
ReadOnlyNotReplicatedRead: PluginSecurityWrite: PluginSecurityReadSafe
The pixel size of the capturable region measured from
Position to the bottom-right
corner of the Studio view, computed as the screen resolution minus the
capture position and clamped to be non-negative. It describes the source
area before any cropping or scaling, as distinct from
Resolution, which is the pixel
size of the encoded image. This property is read-only.
Position: Vector2#
ReadOnlyNotReplicatedRead: PluginSecurityWrite: PluginSecurityReadSafe
The pixel offset of the top-left corner of the captured region from the
top-left of the Studio view. It reflects the Position supplied when the
capture was requested, defaulting to (0, 0) when none is given. This
property is read-only.
Resolution: Vector2#
ReadOnlyNotReplicatedRead: PluginSecurityWrite: PluginSecurityReadSafe
The width and height, in pixels, of the encoded image held by the capture.
It is set once the image has been captured and encoded (when
BufferStatus becomes
StudioCaptureBufferStatus.Ready), and for a capture produced by
ScaleAsync() it equals the
requested output size. This property is read-only.
UICaptureMode: UICaptureMode#
ReadOnlyNotReplicatedRead: PluginSecurityWrite: PluginSecurityReadSafe
The UICaptureMode that determines which user interface is
composited into the captured image. Defaults to UICaptureMode.All,
meaning all UI is included, and reflects the UICaptureMode requested
when the capture was created. This property is read-only.
Methods 3#
| GetBuffer | Returns the captured image data as a buffer in the capture's pixel format.PluginSecurity security |
| GetErrors | Returns an array of error messages recorded during the capture.PluginSecurity security |
| ScaleAsync | Produces a new capture containing a resized copy of this capture's image.PluginSecurity securityYields |
GetBuffer(): buffer#
PluginSecurity security
Returns the captured screenshot as a buffer encoded in the capture's
BufferFormat. This method
only succeeds when
BufferStatus is
StudioCaptureBufferStatus.Ready; if the image is not yet available
or the capture failed, it raises an error instead of returning a buffer.
Returns
buffer— A buffer containing the captured image data in the capture'sBufferFormat.
GetErrors(): Array#
PluginSecurity security
Returns an array of the error messages recorded for this capture. The
array is empty when no errors have occurred; when
BufferStatus is
StudioCaptureBufferStatus.Error, it contains one or more messages
describing why the capture or scale failed.
Returns
Array— An array of strings describing any errors that occurred during the capture.
ScaleAsync(strategy: ResamplerMode, newSize: Vector2): StudioScreenshotCapture#
YieldsPluginSecurity security
Returns a new StudioScreenshotCapture whose image is computed from
this capture, resized to newSize using the given ResamplerMode.
The original capture is not modified. ResamplerMode.Default
resamples with bilinear filtering, while ResamplerMode.Pixelated
uses nearest-neighbor (point) sampling; the scaled capture inherits this
capture's Position,
OriginalSize,
BufferFormat, and
UICaptureMode.
This method yields until the scaled image has been encoded. It errors if
newSize is not positive, or if this capture's
BufferStatus is not
StudioCaptureBufferStatus.Ready.
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
strategy | ResamplerMode | The ResamplerMode used to resample the image.
ResamplerMode.Default applies bilinear filtering;
ResamplerMode.Pixelated applies nearest-neighbor (point)
sampling. | |
newSize | Vector2 | The width and height, in pixels, of the scaled image. |
Returns
StudioScreenshotCapture— A newStudioScreenshotCapturewhose image is this capture scaled tonewSize.
