What’s the simplest way to grab a single frame from Final Cut and save it as a jpeg??
I’m going through a 30 minute piece in an effort to identify possible clearance issues. There are probably 50 different things in the piece which are going to require clearance and I need to get a screen shot of each of them as they appear in the Final Cut viewer. Once I’ve got the single frame grab, I would then like to be able to save it onto a folder on my desktop where I can open the picture and PRINT it (so we have a physical reference).
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to go about doing this? Hopefully a quick and easy way…. I’ve been searching around in Final Cut, but can’t seem to find the way.
Thank you,
Michael

I don’t have the best answer, but I do know whatever you put in a Quicktime viewer can be step-framed and you can print whatever frame you are paused on with the normal print drop-down menu or keyboard shortcut. Seems like you can also print to file that way, and just designate jpeg and where to save it.

Export > Using Quicktime Conversion > Still Image.
Create a Folder on the Desktop and put all the images in there.
Now double click all the images and they will open in Preview.
Print.

This is how I would do it.
Make a new sequence.
Make from every frame you need a single frame edit to that sequence.
Export that sequence via file>export>using quicktime conversion.
Choose image sequence as format.
Set your file option as wanted.Paul

Or you could use SnapzProx from Ambrosia – a FANTASTIC screen/video grab tool.
I use mine all the time.

The Simplest & Quickest
1 Create a new bin in your exisiting sequence PROJECT FILE TAB called RIGHTS
2 Scrub through your timeline
3 When you happen upon your first image, right click on your left VIEWER window
4 Choose FREEZE FRAME from your MODIFY pull down menu
5 DRAG the image from VIEWER window to newly created bin & DROP IT in the new bin
5a When you do, you’ll see the timing of the CLIP [Image]
6 Rename the CLIP [Image] by CLICKING IN THE TEST FIELD with the name of the image that will help you remember it
7 Repeat Steps 2-6
Sounds like you are working on a documentary. I hope this helps :0) -
I forgot to mention to export the contents of the bin. You can EXPORT the whole folder as jpegs or tifs and you will be asked for each item you saved to the bin when you select EXPORT and see the pulldown menu.
Sorry about that, I was multitasking when I answered…
