Creating stills

JohnGG wrote on 11/24/2002, 2:42 PM

How do I create a still from any selected frame in a clip either on the timeline or in Media pool? I can't find this in the manual anywhere.

Thanks for answers to my first question

Cue the timeline to the frame you want, right-mouse-button click on the preview window and check "Display at project size", click on the little floppy disk icon above the preview window. This will save the frame as a .jpg file and it will appear as an event in the media pool.

Right-click on the Video Preview and pick "Display at project size".

Set your project property "Interlace" format to "progressive" and the (advanced property) "Deinterlace method" to "Interpolate" so you won't get any interlace artifacts in your images. Make sure to set the interlace property back before you render your project, you only want progressive for the still capture step.

Use "Save Timeline snapshot to file" because it deals with pixel aspect ratio, while "Copy Snapshot" does not.
