Program for capturing photos from videos?

[nohayo]

Do you know a good free program that captures photos from videos?

[KL]

If you're talking about taking snapshots from videos, then most video editing software will have this feature.  Many computers come bundled with video editing software so that's the first place I would look.

Or if you can't find that video editing program, you can always take screenshots while the video is playing or pause the video and take a screenshot when paused.

To do so just hit "ctrl+Print screen" together and it will take a screenshot and save it in your clipboard. You will then need to paste it into a photo editing program or a word document and crop it for just the part you would like to keep.

Hope that helps,

Lawrence

Kl, do you mean something like moviemaker?? And Lawrence, that's a good idea Except I want it to be high quality...as in photo quality...

[lawrence]

Hi Nohayo,

Yes, I think KL meant something like Movie Maker, though I'm not sure if you can just export pictures.

However, if you are not looking for "print" quality, taking ctrl+print screen should be sufficient, and with photo editing software you can make it even more clear!

Cheers,

Lawrence

Thanks a lot Lawrence I'll try it and see how it goes

Moviemaker will do what you want, but you'll have to manipulate the image in a photo editor because it won't have the high quality your looking for in a photograph.

Akgard, what do you mean manipulate? Do you know of a program that'll give me hotograph quality right away? Thanks ! 

[akgard]

I don't know of one that will give you photograph quality right from the screen shot, but it is really quite simple to do a little editing in a photo editor to improve the quality.  I have some that I did that are almost as good as if i had taken the picture with a still camera. 

[nohayo]

Can you tell me some of your photo editing tricks? OH please please pretty please 

[akgard]

I use photoshop and just play with it until I like it....also, I've learned to make a copy of the file so you can do anything to it an not worry that it will be permanent!
