You can't grab a screenshot with your editing software?

What editing software are you using with it?

Adobe Premiere pro v2

We do not know how to do it? Pics become blurry. Please help

Hey, I really need help! Please help me in such question!

you should be able to create a still frame through Premiere and export it out as a JPG. the pics may not be perfectly crisp, and here'a little lesson in why:

depending on your capture frame rate, you were probably shooting at 24, 30, or most likely 60fps. which means your shutter speed was AT BEST 1/60 sec.

a decent photographer knows that to stop motion and receive a sharp photo you cannot even think about shooting less than 1/125 sec. video cameras, even HD, are not meant to capture still photos.

your screen shots will be a little blurry unless you were filming a potted plant. sorry.

You need Final Cut Pro Studio from Apple.
It's best for HD productions.

Good Luck :pimp

Ok thanks so www.givemepink.com uses 1/125 right? They pics are so sharp. Thanks a lot for detailed answer for taking your time.
