====== Parts of a contact sheet ======

(Click any of the images in this section to access bigger versions)

These are the sections of a contact sheet:\\

The default output only contains the heading, standard sheet and signature footer, and looks something like:\\
{{:vcs:coral_reef_adventure_1080.wmv-stdsheet.jpg?500|Default contact sheet}}

Whereas a contact sheet can, optionally, also contain a title, a set of highlighted captures and a set of extra, smaller captures like:\\
{{:vcs:coral_reef_adventure_1080.wmv-fullsheet.jpg?500|Full contact sheet}}

===== Heading =====

{{:vcs:section-heading.jpg?1024|Heading}}

The heading contains important information about the video file: codecs, file size, pixel size, frames per second and length.

===== Title (Optional) =====

{{:vcs:section-title.jpg?1024|Title}}

A title can be added to a contact sheet with the ''-T'' or ''%%--%%title'' option.

===== Highlights (Optional) =====

{{:vcs:section-highlights.jpg?1024|Highlights sheet section}}

A set of captures can be manually set as highlights with the ''-l'' or ''%--%highlight'' option.
\\
Typical uses are displaying the title as shown in the video (like in this example), the casting or highlighting crucial moments in the video.

===== Standard Sheet =====

{{:vcs:section-std.jpg?1024|Standard contact sheet section}}

The standard sheet is where the main part, it contains the captures as controlled by most options. See [[vcs:docs:usage]] for more details.

===== Extended Sheet (Optional) =====

{{:vcs:section-extended.jpg?1024|Extended contact sheet section}}

The extended sheet (or spoiler sheet as I fondly call it), when enabled, contains a lot of smaller captures, based on the number of //normal// captures. Enable it with ''-e'' or ''--extended''.

===== Signature/Footer =====

{{:vcs:section-footer.jpg?1024|Footer}}

The footer contains the name of the capturer (can be disabled or changed at will with ''-u''/''%%--%%user'', ''-U''/''%%--%%fullname'' and ''-U0''/''%%--%%anonymous''); and a line with ''vcs'' blatant self-promotion :-P (which I believe might be useful to help people find such a tool if they're looking for one so it's not so easy to disable :-))
