Taking still from video clip

Caffg_2

Hi,
Hope someone out there can help.
I want to take a still pic of a video clip that I have been sent.
Can anyone tell me how?
I can pause the video but not take a copy.
Thanks

Hi Caffg
If you're using Windows then you should be able to take a screenshot.
On the top row of the keyboard, on right hand side of F12, there's a key that says 'Print Screen'.
If you press this it takes a snapshot of whatever's on the screen and saves it on the clipboard.
Then you open up 'Paint' program, then select 'edit' then 'paste'.
Then you can save it as a BMP or JPG.

...here's one I took earlier

Print screen and Screenhunter are for capturing screen dumps i.e. still frames, not capturing frames from video.
