Screen capturing was newly added in VP17, so no VP16 does not have screen capture.

I'm currently on VP16 and whenever I needed to do any type of screen capturing recording, I've just enabled a screen capture setting which by going by memory was somewhere in the included Win10 Xbox gaming apps. I never run the Xbox gaming app, but now whenever I press Widows Key+G, screen capture recording commences.

There may be other apps, and ways to do this but this was the easiest one that was already available and built into Windows 10 at the time I set my PC up and most feedback I read mentioned the Xbox gaming app seemed to work well especially when compared to other 3rd party utilities. From what I've read so far, that also seems to be the case with VP17 and its newly added screen capturing, where it currently seems some things still need to be ironed out but I can't provide any personal experience since I'm still using VP16.

I have v16 and mine does have Screen Capture. Unfortunately it does NOT work very well. Get a Parsing err when trying to open it. I am not about to update to 17 if it doesn't work.

No screen capture in v16. Has only "Capture Video" via a firewire (DV) or video capture board.

Vegas Screen Capture is somewhat superfluous since Nvidia, AMD, and Intel video hardware can do it directly. With AMD video boards its called "Relive" and is an optional feature in the driver. Nvidia calls it "ShadowPlay" and it's a downloadable app. With Intel it's in their downloadable Graphics Command Center app on the System tab. Designed primarily to capture brilliant game-play moments but can record anything displayed unless protected by drm. Building it into Vegas just adds the ability to pull the captured screen video into Vegas automatically.

Can't you just press the "Print Screen" key and then hit CTRL-V within one of many photo programs, then import it? Sure its a bit tedious, but it only takes about 20s to do it.

Not much use if you are capturing a moving image which is what I suspect most users use screen capture for.
