Unsqueeze a frame grab?

[Arnie Schlissel]

You need to open it up in Photoshop and resize it to 1280X720 or 1920X1080, depending on whether you’re working at 720 or 1080. If you’re making a lot of stills, then export all of your stills to a single folder, make a Photoshop Action to resize them, and run the action on that folder.

Arniepix,
Is there a way to export a framgrab from FCP in an un-constrained size? I have to export jpegs for use as thumbnails (88×49 pixels.) I can export quite easily, as you know, but only in constrained sizes??

[Arnie Schlissel]

FCP always exports stills in whatever naitive size your sequence is. If you need to export in a specific size, then you need to either resize them afterwards, or work in a sequece that’s that size.
