how to make digital pictures from digital video

[Edward Troxel]

[Paul] “Is this possible? “
Yes. Just click on the “Save Snapshot” button. There are some things you can do to improve the quality such as changing the preview mode to best (full), changing the project to progressive, etc… To really simplify things, use a script. I have full details on one of my newsletters.

[Paul] “Would the resolution be worth it? “
Maybe – depends on what you’re trying to do. Standard NTSC DV will give you a 655×480 image at 72dpi.

[Paul] “Can I “fix” the digital stills with Photoshop? “
I don’t know. Can you? You can definitely load them into Photoshop and manipulate them however you desire.
