What software do u use to take screenshots from the videos, fast and easy?

snagit

Snatch It works for wmv files but I think the quality is shit.The software I use is called William who works in the office and does it by hand using Power DVD. Much better quality is achieved this way but it is time consuming.

vegas 5 its easy

Virtual dub to get the frame then photoshop to clean up the quality.

WHAT? :Oh crap
Thats what Im doing now...it must be a decent software that can take multiple video screenshots without Photoshop involved

Sony Vegas

Pinnacle is fast and easy and cheap.

You want perfect screen shots you have to do it by hand in an editing program like Premiere or another app, no way around that. If the vid clip has a lot of motion as most sex vids do, there are going to be a percentage blurry or poor quality screen caps if you have a program like SnatchIt (which does work well for what it is) just grab them automatically. Either that or you have to have it takes lots of pics automatically and start editing down to the good ones. Some people de-interlace the screen grabs, and editing out the bad ones and sharpening the remainder up in Photoshop can be done if they are important pics.

As I see it you have two choices:

1) Save a few minutes here and there and have mediocre thumbnails
2) Spend a few extra minutes and turn out a top quality product

Do you want to make great, attention grabbing thumbnails or do you just want to make a bunch of average thumbs? The benefits of the former should be really obvious.

Thanks guys, I get it now :)

I use Final Cut Pro and it does an awesome job with screen captures saved to JPEG

Adobe Premiere. Save as bitmap, or Tiff. Clean it up in Photoshop. Tada.

For all our FTV vidcaps we use a hardware item, Hauppage WinTV, it gives a better result than a software setup.
