Taking a picture from a video shot with mavic pro

[adbeal]

Does anybody know if I can take a picture from a video I shot with my dji mavic pro?

I stop my video's sometimes and take full screen or whatever screenshots .

Yep, any video editing software will let you do that, some players like vlc too.

How do I do that with Vic?

iMovie also ?

I can't get a photo downloaded from a video from either of those apps.

I use an app called Video2Photo on my iPhone/iPad.

It’s the easiest thing in the world. I just pause playback and do a screen capture. It’s usually a combination of three keys. I think CTRL and ALT and 3 or 4. 3 is entire screen and 4 is a portion, which is better. Otherwise u might end up with menu bar etc. I may have these keys wrong, every system is dif, I use Mac, and I’m not in front of keyboard rt now. But Just look up screen capture.

Google is your friend.

The problem with screen capture is it's low resolution... other software will export the full res image. Looks like the answer is already found, but I use FCPX and it lets you export a full size jpeg as the native resolution of your video.

Do you know if iMovie does also this ?

Thanks !

No problem. It's way better than screenshotting... The file size is comparable to a DSLR camera, especially if shooting on 4K.

With VLC you can customise the key used to take snaphots if you use it frequently.
I have it set to #

An alternative method (free) is to open the file with Virtualdub, with the ffmpeg input plugin installed. There is then a “save frame to clipboard” option in the Vdub menu, and paste into photoshop. This will give high quality, frame-accurate stills.

Preferences, hot keys, define a key or use the default key listed.
