Is it possible to capture a screenshot of a clip? 1

[CurleyJ]

Hi again! I would like to capture a single frame of a clip and save it as a .jpg

I looked through the manual, but couldn't find anything that helped. Is this even possible?

Thanks!

Here's the way I capture stills. In the timeline, go to the clip that you want the still from. Once you see the image on the program screen (Single Track), go to File, Export Timeline, Frame. From there you can choose where to save it. For the best quality, I suggest saving it as a TIFF. That way you can import it into Photoshop (if you have it) and converting it into a jpeg from there. You could also save it as a bmp and save it as a jpeg in virtually any photo program. Hope this helps!

Thanks! This is working...but I'm getting a wierd "shaky" effect on the image once it's been captured. Does that have something to do with my capture settings? I tried to capture the frame in .tiff and .bmp formats, and they both look pretty messed up.

It seems to work fine...strangely in photoshop when I zoom in on it at different levels it appears "corrupted" or "jaggy". But, when I place it into Flash, it looks fine. Wierd, but it works.

Super thanks for the help!!

I don't have photoshop, I use paintshop pro but I imagine it's the same procedure in each program. You can get rid of that "jaggyness" by de-interlacing the image (applying a de-interlace filter).
