i am new at this program. i have a short video, maybe 3 sec. i want the last image to stay on the screen longer. like freezing the image to last the length of a song. i am working on a multi media for our church for easter. how can i do this? also is there a way to capture the last image as a still?

You can take a snapshot of any frame of your video by clicking on the "disk" icon right above the preview window. Scrub to the end of your video and take a snapshot. You can then drop that image onto the video track at the end of your video piece, and extend it (the image) to last as long as you need it to.

I just tried this, and the image that was saved ended up being only 327 x 240 pixels. So, I made my preview window larger, and got an image saved as 654 x 480 pixels.

Does anyone know if the image saved will always be based on the size of the preview window or is there a setting that will always have it default to 655 x 480 (same size as SBs text frames)? I took a quick look through the Preferences (Internal as well) and nothing jumped out.

Thanks...

the capture is always the size of the preview window. you need to right-click on the preview window and click "actual size" or something like that and then do the capture.

The standard size for the frame is 654.545454...x480. Some functions round this down to 654 and some up to 655. In practice is really doesn't matter much. Anything within a pixel of the right size will fit.
