Creating Stills from Video with FCP

[Jerry Hofmann]

Put the clip in the viewer and park over the still you want. choose file/export/quickTime conversion. In the dialog box that opens, you can choose still image from the pop up menu there… and there are options for format there as well.

Actually its even easier than that. Find the frame you want to freeze from the Modify window choose make freeze frame. A new viewer will pop up with the frame and from there you can save it as a jpeg or whatever. You can also just take the frame from the viewer and drop it into your timeline or broswer assets.
