Overview

Pull stills from your videos to use as references, thumbnails, or material for further edits — no external software needed. It’s a quick way to capture the exact moment you want.

​
How it works

Choose a video, scrub the timeline, and pick frames to save as images. Extract single frames or set an interval to grab many at once. Each frame saves to your Library at source resolution. Key capabilities include frame‑by‑frame navigation, interval extraction, source‑resolution saves, and automatic addition to boards.
