Save a photo from video


Recommended Posts

Can you tell us which operating system you are using? There are different options for Linux, MacOS and Windows. Usually your video editing software will have an option -- that may not be clearly labeled as to its purpose -- to allow you to export a frame. For example, scroll down to the iMovie section in this article: https://www.macworld.com/article/1154212/pullingstills.html

Thank you for your reply.

I use Windows 10, and I have an editor program called MovAvi in which I was able to save a "snapshot" in the size 1920 x 1080 px which is the same size I can extract if a pause the video in for example VLC player and take a screenshot.  

Do you know if 1920 x 1080 px is the largest size I can extract from a 4K video or can I extract a larger size somehow?

You mention VLC, it has the ability to export frames built in to it, just search for VLC export frame and you can find plenty of tutorials for doing that. From the way you have written, it sounds like you are trying to view a 4k video on a 1080p monitor, which is why your screen grab may be coming out as 1080 x 1920.

This thread may help! it lists some other options: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4054568

Hey. You may use The Movavi screen recorder. You just press the "snapshot" button in the app, and it does it for you. Moreover, you can also edit and record videos in there. I find this app very comfy and cool. Here is the link where you can find the complete tutorial and the download link- https://www.movavi.com/support/how-to/mp4-recorder.html Worth to try. Good luck =]]
