Export an image from your project
You can save a single image le of any video frame in your project.
Save a still frame
1 Select the project, and in the Timeline, place the playhead at the frame you want to
save, and choose Share > Save Current Frame.
2 Choose a format from the Export pop-up menu.
3 To see details about the le that will be output, click Summary.
4 To scale the output le to use square pixels and maintain the original aspect ratio
(which results in an increase or decrease in the number of horizontal and vertical
pixels), select “Scale image to preserve aspect ratio.”
The checkbox aects only projects whose video resolution uses non-square pixels,
such as NTSC and PAL formats. If the checkbox is not selected (the default setting), the
output le uses the same pixel aspect ratio and has the same number of horizontal
and vertical pixels as the original video.
5 Click Next.
6 Type a name and choose a location for the saved le, and click Save.
Final Cut Pro renders and saves your still image le.
