How can I export a still image of video from FCP?

Jeff,

this is described in detail in the FCP User Manual:
Please review Volume IV, Part III (Output), 20: "Exporting Still Images and Image Sequences".

Liam Hall answered my same query:


Mark 'I' and 'O' on the frame you wish to save.

Click: File>Export>Using Quicktime Conversion.

On the format tab (where it says quicktime movie) select still image from the drop down menu.

You can export as a JPeg or PNG.

You can then whack that file into Preview or a photo editor of your choice and convert it to a file tiff or whatever. JPeg will be fine for a DVD B/G.

I did not have to mark I and O. Just exported the timeline selection
