Longshot

Record yourself scrolling. Get one tall image back.

Work in progress. Registration is still being improved. Steady scrolling reconstructs reliably, including in chat logs with strongly repeated layout. A very fast flick through a uniform log can still land a few rows out. Check the output against the original before you rely on it.

1 · Bring in a video

Scroll steadily through the window you want captured. Pausing is fine, and so is scrolling back up — the registration is tracked in document coordinates, not frame by frame.

2 · Confirm the scrolling area

Everything that stays put — title bars, tab strips, the message box — has to stay outside this box, or it gets stamped in at every scroll position. Drag the edges to adjust.
