stills from video

[nytecam]

Any ideas how to capture stills a my video clips? I've tried the capture feature in PaintShopPro without success - I've Photoshop too but can't find 'Capture image' option - Help

I use QuicktimePro.

Advance the movie to the frame you want then hit Pause.
File>Export
Choose Movie To Picture from the drop-down menu
Then Options for compression/quality etc.
Save


Cheers,
Rog

Failing that VLC player free downloadable, really good plays most files, and has a really good capture function, sorry no link but just google VLC player

Thanks Rog and Cptn for your help - used VLC player [to extract frames below from Mars vid] but a bit buggy eg would only advance ~5 successive frames before lockup and reboot but it served my purpose

Hi Cptn - VLC Media Player has usurped my regular MS Media Player with its own 'traffic cone' symbol and in 'play' mode but I noticed a second effect on video since installed eg seemingly moving white outline boxes on pure black area when uploaded to Youtube - can I invite you to look at YouTube - Optus spotting scope unboxing & setup in 'full-size' screen mode to ask if you can see this effect too - thanks

Hi Cptn - disregard my msg above - the jaggy artefact started appearing on other folks Youtube videos too so I deinstalled VLC media player and the problem resolved
