At once I want to apologize, if it is not so clear. I it is simple from Russia.
As with Russian community to me didn't help, I want to address to you.
For cutting of the necessary image, I use screen_save_part (fname, x, y, w, h).
I want to make many screens but if I enter:

screen_save_part('screen.jpg',48,80,100,30)

in pressing of F12 and during game I will press F12, screen.jpg it will be replaced.
Tried so:

i=i+1; 
screen_save_part(i + 'screen.jpg',48,80,100,30);

In object create: i=0
On what GM gives out a mistake:

ERROR in 
action number 1 
of  Step Event 
for object obj_control: 

Error in code at line 2: 
    screen_save_part(i + 'screen.jpg',48,80,100,30) 
                         ^ 
at position 23: Wrong type of arguments to +.

Because of what a mistake I know but how to make on another I do not know (
If there are additional libraries, give the reference to a gallop please.

i is a number variable. You need to make it a string to concatenate it.

screen_save_part(string(i) + 'screen.jpg',48,80,100,30)

Simple. A real cannot be concatenated with a string. Instead, use:

i=i+1; 
screen_save_part(string(i) + 'screen.jpg',48,80,100,30);

Edit - chrscool8 beat me to it, lol

because i is real, not string.

try this:

i=i+1; 
screen_save_part(string(i) + 'screen.jpg',48,80,100,30);

This mistake is actually pretty common, hope you be more aware now.

EDIT: Aww, great! Ninja'd by two of you!!!

Not with any built-in functions.
There may be a way of coding it or perhaps using some sort of dll or something for this... not sure.
If not, there's probably some sort of free software somewhere to convert screenshots (or an animated gif containing screenshots) into a video file.
