I need to converts some video stills that come out as .mov on FCP and convert them to .jpg, can't seem to find anything that works on a Mac.

Thanks in advance.

What happens if you force to open it in preview?

I had to do this today and it was pissing me off that I couldn't figure out how to do it directly from FCPX.

I just ended up opening the video full screen and hit Command+Shift+3 to do a screenshot.

Worked for what I needed it for.

Type this in terminal:
screencapture -i ~/Desktop/scrn.png

Your mouse should turn into crosshairs. Now hit the space bar. Your mouse should now be a camera. Click the window the video is playing in. A file called "scrn.png" will appear on your desktop.

Summary:
usage: screencapture [-icmwsWx] [files]
-i capture screen interactively, by selection or window
control key - causes screen shot to go to clipboard
space key - toggle between mouse selection and window selection modes
escape key - cancels interactive screen shot
-c force screen capture to go to the clipboard
-m only capture the main monitor, undefined if -i is set
-w only allow window selection mode
-s only allow mouse selection mode
-W start interaction in window selection mode
-x do not play sounds
-S in window capture mode, capture the screen not the window
-C capture the cursor as well as the screen. only in non-interactive modes
-t image format to create, default is png
files where to save the screen capture, 1 file per screen

If you want a free app to use, maybe try Snagit

Yeah, tried that but they want OS X 10.7 and i'm sticking to 10.6. I have FCP just the way I like it

You can't export the frame in FCP using quicktime conversion? That's how I extract single frames... If not you can use ffmpeg to extract screenshots in jpg. It should be something like this:

/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg -deinterlace -an -ss 0 -i /path/to/file.mov -t 00:00:01 -r 1 -y -vcodec mjpeg -f mjpeg /path/to/outfile.jpg

cant quicktime pro export frames? or even vlc?

Try Quicktime 7, the previous version before Quicktime X. You can have both installed and it comes with the ability to export jpg files from a video in set intervals. It was surprisingly the only solution I found beyond manual capping. Have no idea why they removed that function, but that's Apple for ya!
