Kind: Timing

Wait until the page fires a custom event, so you catch the final frame.

Video: [example_2.webm](https://zshot-app.com/media/help/example_2.webm), 0:27

## What to do

1. **Paste it** Paste this into the URL field: `https://zshot-cli.com/example_assets/hello_zshot/`
2. **Set the wait** Click the wait button in the URL bar, then the JS event tab, and enter the event to wait for: `animation:complete`
3. **Capture It** Click Capture. The shot lands on the settled final frame, not mid-animation.

Do this from the command line: https://zshot-cli.com/examples/wait-for-event/
