Still Picture Capture on Timeline
I have Vegas 6.0 and it is really good! I’ve a question about capturing FF or Still Images from the Timeline. I know I can capture a “FF” when in “Capture” mode but I’ve got a big bin of captured video and the client wants a “Frame-grab” of various shots to be used in the program for transitions, etc. Problem is that when I “freeze” or “Save a Stillframe” from the timeline….when I go to the saved file it’s in…the quality is not really good. Saved Stills from the capture window when I did think to capture look much better….any tips on how to improve my “Timeline Still Caps”?
Thanks

Hi,
Navigate on the timeline, so that you see the picture in preview window of which you want a still.
Then set preview to best/full. Don’t worry if don’t see the whole picture, just a part of it.
Either press the disc icon to save the snapshot to a file, or pres the copy icon left to the disc to copy the picture to clipboard.Then import it to your pic.editor, either opening the file, or start a new and paste from clipboard.
If your pic.editor is photoshop, the it has a “deinterlace” filter, you may want to apply this.Hope I could help
Regards

Thanks Laszlo! That did the trick and was a very big improvement!! Now we can grab “Stills” pretty much on the Fly and go back and drag them to the timeline without a problem.
I appreciate your help!

If you use a script to save the snapshots, it will change to Best (Full) and set it to deinterlace for you so you don’t have to deinterlace later. Scripts can also save a series of snapshots as well.
