    Any pro's out there on touching up video screen caps?

    Mine are coming out too blurry for a paysite tour. Good enough for tgp gallleries but not for a paysite.

        I could prolly help you too. If there is not too much movement, you might be able to combine both fields (I'm assuming your frames are interlaced) to make a clearer picture.

        Hit me up on ICQ if ya want more help.

          Shoot with a 3 chip camera in progressive mode (full frame, not interlaced), but be sure to change the aspect ratio from the 720x480 that it comes off the camera to 640x480... TV's squish the picture to the correct ratio because of a whole rectangle/square pixel thing. You'll get grabs like this:

                  Let's try that again! These are all video grabs using the above method:

                      Thanks. I've ran Amateur Upskirts since 1998 with just screen grabs using that method. Saves lots of money on models when you can get the pics and video shot at the same exact time. Never once had a complaint from members about quality, but I finally broke down and bought the Nikon D70 a few months back. Now not only do I have to learn to use the damn thing, but it's taking twice as long to get a single scene shot. It really suck going from being a pretty damn good videographer to a pretty damn bad photographer, but after seeing the 'real' pictures from the Nikon I could never go back.

                              I use thumbnailer 5 (an old version) from www.smalleranimals.com, and I just set it to grab every 3rd frame. Then I go through and pick out the ones I want. After that it's off to photoshop where I do a reduce noise filter (I used that on the michelle lynn pic, but not the other 4), boost the levels, and do any touchups with the healing brush.

                                          You change them from 720x480 to 640x480 in photoshop. With my old TRV900 you could just resize, but the VX2100 has a very thin black line and a faint green line on the right side of the pictures, so I set up a 720x480 aspect ratio crop action that cuts that part out (and a little off the top, and a little off the bottom to keep it in the 720x480 ratio), then I have the action resize that cropped pic to the correct 640x480 ratio, then save and close.

                                            Well, you can fuck with them in Photoshop CS2 to try to get them to look better (try Filter/Noise/Reduce noise.... then use the preset setting except take "reduce color noise" down to 0%). Then hit it with a sharpen edges filter (filter/sharpen/sharpen edges). That might make them a little better, but as always garbage in/garbage out.

                                            To get the quality I posted only works when you have a non-interlaced DV tape as the source. Sony calls it progressive mode, and Canon calls it either full frame or movie mode (not sure, as I've always used sony video cameras).

                                              Bump^^^, with much respects to "Tat2Jr". Took me 25 minutes to find this thread...

                                              I just copped the Sony VX2100... Yo Tat, on your shoots. Do you always shoot in progressive mode (full frame, not interlaced), and change the ratio 720x480 to 640x480?... On my site, I usually tkae the pictures off the video. But my caps weren't up to par quite like how u explained cuz I was using a regular camcorder. Now that I got the 2100, I'm gonna be looking to take caps off the video... So should I always shoot in progressive mode full frame, not interlaced at 640x480? That won't fuck with the quality of the video would it?
