In this video, you will take screenshots from  at least four different years of your timelapse.   Then, you will copy and paste the screenshots into  your document, crop each image, and add captions.  Screenshots are pictures of what  is currently on your screen.   When you put screenshots into your  document, you can communicate to an   audience how something changed and  include your own analysis with it.  To begin, go back to Google Earth  Engine and slow the time lapse down.  Pause the time lapse at the  earliest year available.   If you accidentally go past the  earliest year, use the arrow to go back.

Close the information you don’t need anymore, And zoom in so you can see more details.  Take a screenshot of the photo using  your computer’s screenshot tool.  Then, copy and paste the  screenshot into your document.  Crop out anything you don’t want in the image,  like browser tabs and other timelapse topics.  Use the guides on each side of  the image to make it larger.  Then, add a caption to the bottom of  each image with the year it was taken.  Next, repeat the process for  any two years in the middle.  You may want to choose years where you  can clearly see environmental changes.  Finally, copy and paste a screenshot  from the last year that is available.  Now, it’s your turn: Take screenshots from   at least four different years of your timelapse, Copy and paste the screenshots into your document,  Crop each image,  And add a caption with the  year each image was taken.
