Pulling stills from 5D Mark II footage

Hey everyone,

Just wondering. What's the easiest way to get screen grabs off of 5d Mark II footage? Thank you!

Bump. Any help, please.

Hmm, pause in your video editing/playing software. Some software has "capture" functions built-in, but if not you just have to do a standard screen grab...

I have used the VLC media player with some success provided you use a decent ISO and fast enough shutter speed etc.

Several suggestions.

That looks like a good thread!

It's been several years since I had a camera with video, so I don't know what all is out there anymore!

import the footage into final cut pro. go to the frame you want, export to quicktime conversion. select stills from drop down menu and choose .jpg, .png, .tiff etc.

I usually never take real long clips so I have had success with the importing video frames to layers option in photoshop.

This...

Premiere <-> Photoshop

Pass "filmstrips" seamlessly.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone!

Back when I did Video Editing the editor software had a feature for grabbing stills.

It was a button that looked like a still camera, click the mouse on it and grab the still.

It wasn't even and expensive program but I do not recall the name of the program but it was put out by PINNACLE.

DV Studio Pro might be the name.

I liked the program because at the time I was not knowledgeable about editing and it was easy to create impressive short films.

As time went on I learned about it's shortcomings and began to feel I needed a program I could not justify spending money on!
