How do I export a freeze frame as a .jpg?
I guess the real question is can I?
I have a client who would like some .jpg stills grabbed from the source footage. In the past, I would simply create a freeze frame and then copy it from the folder it was created in. Is there a way to do this in FCPX? Thanks. |

I would just enlarge the video / full screen it > print screen > paste it into microsoft paint and save it as a .jpg

Wouldn't any editor just have a shortcut key to do this ? It's a pretty basic function. I use Edius it's a simple key stroke.

Dave,
Thanks! That is just what I was looking for. I totally forgot there were more "Share" options available in the preferences folder. I really need to spent the time to learn this program. I'll be humming along at light speed and then hit a bump when trying to figure out how to export a silly still frame. |

Go to move the cursor over the frame you want to make into a .jpg, click Share, then Save Current Frame, then tell it where you want it to be saved. Bingo!

Open the source video in QuickTime Player. Go to the frame you want a still image. From EDIT menu select COPY (or command COPY). This creates a TIFF image of the current frame and stores it in clipboard. Open PREVIEW application and from FILE menu select NEW FROM CLIPBOARD. Then export it as JPG. I usually sharpen the image before exporting.

Joe -
Your post and comment is really timely! Quote:
When I look back at the hurdles I went through just getting my early videos edited all I can think of is how much time that took and how elementary the finished videos were. Now I'm whipping them out to a higher standard in reasonably short order but it seems that almost every time there is something new I want to do. Sometimes I take the time to find out how to do it, other times I just pass and tell myself "Next time." On my "To-Do Learn List" is doing a B-roll camera. I know it can be done but I just need to get started, figure it out, and try it once. So, as for your post problem I can empathize. |

In FCP X, go to File --> Share--> Save current Frame
You need to select the location and give the name and save it. |
