digital camera question (printing a quicktime movi

[layton]

I accidentally took a bunch of "photos" on a climb today under the movie mode on my canon digicamera. d'oh. they were such good pics too, but the dial slipped over to movie during the gnar.

anyone know how i can save the 1st frame of the movie as a jpeg? i can't figure out how.

Try asking that question on the FredMiranda forum:

I think you might need Quicktime Pro to do it, but you can capture any frame out of a Quicktime movie (it doesn't have to be the first one).

 

While the frame of interest is displayed in Quicktime, use the pull-down menu Edit->Copy, then open a new document in a image processing software of your choice, then Edit->Paste.

 

If it does indeed require Quicktime Pro, and you don't want to get it, you could try a screen capturing software. Regardless of what method you use, you are only going to get something that is pretty low resolution and good for viewing on your monitor only (too low of resolution for printing).
