Thanks for the info.</p> <p>I use the JetAudio media player, which has a 'capture' button to screenshot the paused frame. Getting it to stop on the right frame to snapshot is always a bit hit &amp; miss, so will use VLC in future for captures. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14843#post-188948 Wed, 20 May 2015 12:09:35 +0000 lorlane 188948@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks everyone for all your suggestions. Will have a go! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14843#post-188940 Wed, 20 May 2015 11:15:39 +0000 kaputnik 188940@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thirded VLC. The frame-by-frame skip through is a very useful feature for getting the best possible still. Have also used it on the Contour Roam 2 which I have. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14843#post-188937 Wed, 20 May 2015 10:53:12 +0000 earthowned 188937@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'll second VLC media player. It's what I've previously used to capture amusing* stills from video. </p> <p>(*by amusing I actually mean stupid driving, including someone driving one handed while drinking a coffee whilst overtaking me whilst turning left). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14843#post-188936 Wed, 20 May 2015 10:42:08 +0000 i 188936@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>If you use <a href="https://www.videolan.org/vlc/">VLC media player</a> which works on all modern operating systems, you can pause the video and step through each frame one as a time by pressing 'E' . Once you find a frame that looks good, right click on the image and select Snapshot. (or go to the Video menu)</p> <p>You can also make it play it from 1/4 speed to 4x speed (Playback menu). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14843#post-188934 Wed, 20 May 2015 10:38:03 +0000 wingpig 188934@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Some media players offer a function to export stills (at the resolution of the video file) - I use Media Player Classic, where ALT + I quickly exports the current frame. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14843#post-188932 Wed, 20 May 2015 10:27:56 +0000 lorlane 188932@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks @SRD, just copy and paste a print screen? I'll try that. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14843#post-188924 Wed, 20 May 2015 10:05:05 +0000 SRD 188924@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I've used screen grabs of paused footage. </p> <p>sorry to hear you've had an incident. doesn't sound good. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14843#post-188922 Wed, 20 May 2015 09:58:20 +0000 lorlane 188922@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I was involved in an incident this morning and wanted to use stills from my camera to identify the man concerned to the police. Can't seem to see a way to get stills - has anyone managed this with theirs?</p> <p>Alternatively I could send the whole footage.</p> <p>Thanks in advance. </p>
