What ScreenshotKit Does and How It Is Organised

An overview of ScreenshotKit v1.3.3: five editor window tabs covering screenshots, GIFs, image sequences, video recording, and Cryptomatte/AOV mattes.

ScreenshotKit is a Unity Editor tool for capturing screenshots, animated GIFs, image sequences, MP4/WebM video, and compositing-ready Cryptomatte / AOV passes, all from one window. It supports multi-camera batch capture, 360 degree panoramas, three different transparent-alpha modes, lighting decomposition passes (diffuse, specular, reflection, refraction, emission, shadow, ambient occlusion), and data buffers (world-space normals, motion vectors, world position, stencil, depth).

Requirements

Unity	2021.3 or later
Render pipelines	Built-in, URP, HDRP. AOV passes require URP for full fidelity (Built-in falls back to a Diffuse render for non-ID passes).
Version	1.3.3

The window at a glance

Open the window from Tools > ScreenshotKit > Settings Window, or click the ScreenshotKit toolbar overlay in the Scene View. It has five tabs:

Tab	What it does
Capture	Single screenshots, batch multi-camera capture, and 360 degree panoramas.
Gif	GIF recording and image sequence recording.
Record	MP4 (H.264) / WebM (VP8) video recording: live camera, viewport, and turntable.
Mattes	Cryptomatte segmentation, lighting decomposition, and data-buffer passes.
Settings	Output paths, filename templates, file formats, watermark, presets, shortcuts.

The Capture tab: resolution, capture options, quick capture, batch capture, and 360 degree panoramas in one place.

What you can capture

Single Screenshot

High-resolution stills up to a 132.7 megapixel budget, with 1x to 8x supersampling.

Batch Capture

One shot from every camera in the scene, with consistent naming and optional mattes.

Transparent PNG

Alpha from Cryptomatte, post-processing, or a hybrid of both.

360 Panorama

Mono or stereo top-bottom equirectangular panoramas, aimable from the capture camera.

GIF Recording

Threaded GIF encoding straight from Play Mode.

Image Sequence

Frame-by-frame stills in PNG, JPEG, TGA, or EXR, with optional per-frame mattes.

Video Recording

MP4 (H.264) and WebM (VP8) recording: live camera, viewport, or deterministic turntable.

Cryptomatte & AOV

Spec-compliant Cryptomatte EXRs plus 18 AOV passes for Nuke, Fusion, AE, and Resolve.

Runtime API

Everything the window does for stills, GIFs, and sequences is also scriptable at runtime through the DaCruz.ScreenshotKit namespace, for in-game photo modes, automated capture passes, or build-time tooling. Start with the Runtime API overview.
