    Content Capturing Stills From Video ?

    Hey guys, yes I know I been in the industry 15 years and I am again about to ask a bit of a NEWB question, and yes I know GOOGLE is my friend...

    But I shot a couple HD scenes the other day and didn't get any pics... wondering what people use to capture stills from a video ? What's the best software... ?

    I know I can do it in Adobe Premier... but that's manually, I'd rather have something that can do it automated... ?

    Thanks in advance...

      Run it through ffmpeg at intervals and then you can sort through for the good ones and touchup where needed.

            Render to .jpg sequence from Premiere. It will export each frame as .jpg. Go through and pick out the ones you want to use. There are going to be a lot of files, but that's really the only semi-automated way I can think of.

              Can you tell me what path I have to follow to do this ?

                Load the video clip into Premiere, and go to File > Export > Media -- or you can hit CTRL + M on a PC. A dialog box will open, select .JPEG as the export format. See screen capture below.






                After you export using this setting, each frame will be a .JPEG image. See below. The .JPEG files will have whatever export settings you chose for the movie, so if you selected 1080 resolution, the .JPEG files will be 1080 pixels. I hope this helps.

                  depending on the GOP only 1 in 30 or more will be usable only the key frames are actually decent quality quicker to to do a capture of a good frame in specific shots that you want

                  at 30fps that premiere trick is going to give you 1800 photos for every minute of video
                  assuming a 20 minute scene do you really wanna go through 36,000 pictures?

                    Eek !

                    That's a lot of pics... and yes the video is a good 15-20 minutes... I am thinking I will just have to stick with doing it manually... that sounds quicker than going through that sort of volume of images anyways... thanks for the input anyways guys

                          A very simple method is just to take a screen grab then crop it.

                          Paint shop pro does this.

                            One thing to always try is just use your camera phone.

                            Its often worth using it for the odd pic.

                                  You know what part of the video you want to grab captures from. Slice the clip, delete the portion you know you're not going to use, then export to JPEG sequence. Wash, rinse, and repeat.

                                      Drag a video into Photoshop and go to windows to make sure the timeline window is open.



                                      Under timeline setting set the FPS to one frame per second





                                      File/Export/Render Video



                                      Choose Photoshop Image Sequence



                                      Set your JPEG Quality and a destination folder for the files render and you are done!

                                      I like doing it this way because I can use my Photoshop tools for easier image editing.
