Still from a Quick time movie

[jon1968]

Is there any way I can get some stills from a QT movie apart from the 'Print screen' and 'Paint' route - or paying?

Many thanks

If you open the video file in VLC (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/) there will be a snapshot option under the Video dropdown menu. It'll be saved in My Pictures if you're on a Windows PC. The default file format is png.

Most QuickTime movie files can be opened in VLC, but apparently some can't (I'm yet to find one myself)

Thank you, Baylist, that works great. I�ve got some avi files I want to do the same with too and I can see the video but can�t hear the sound? Any ideas please?

Try playing the clip & right-click move your cursor down to audio track & select a different track

Do you know which codec the file uses? And which OS are you using?

Many thanks, I gave up and just uploaded them to photobucket as they were and whatever wizardry they have sorted it all out anyway and they work fine on there!?
