Screenshot all Channels


  • Where to find it:


    • Main Window / View /

Screenshot all Channels will take screenshots of all your channels and place them inside the path specified under Screenshot Settings.

A dialog will allow you to configure general screenshot settings.


If multiple objects are in your scene, the Tool will try to sync all Objects to have the same Channel (Name) selected, so each Screenshot

represents the same channel across all Objects.
