From time to time when working with video, you’ll find yourself needing (or wanting) to use a still photo from within the video footage.
Maybe you want to use the photo as a thumbnail image on your web page. Maybe you want to use it in an email. Or maybe there’s just a great shot in your video that you want to print out and hang on your wall.
