Creating a Still Image from a Movie
With QuickTime Player, you can export a single frame from a movie as an image file.
To save a still image from a movie:
- Move the playhead to the frame you want to export.
- Choose File > Export.
- Choose "Movie to Picture" from the Export pop-up menu.
- Click Options and choose a format from the "Compression type" pop-up menu.
To export every frame from the movie as a series of images, choose "Movie to Image Sequence." Exporting every frame can generate a very large number of files; you may want to export to a folder rather than to the desktop.
