Capturing and Printing Still Images from Videos

You can capture video frames to create still images and print them.

Important

  • If videos do not appear, check the system requirements and file formats. Refer to "File Formats" for details.
  • Videos may not play smoothly depending on your environment.
  • Video color tones changed via the settings of the graphic driver (video card) or its utility are not reflected in captured still images. Therefore, color tones may differ between videos and captured still images.

  1. Start My Image Garden.

  2. Select the video from which you want to capture still images.

  3. Click Video Frame Capture.

    Note

    • (Pause) or (Playback) appears on the still image capture panel while a video is playing or stopped, respectively.
    • Using (Pause) and (Frame Backward)/(Frame Advance) on the still image capture panel makes it easier to display the frame you want to capture.

  5. When the frame you want to capture as a still image appears, click Capture (single frame) on the still image capture panel.

    Note

    • Refer to "Video Frame Capture View" for how to switch between Capture (single frame) and Capture (multiple).
    • In Capture (multiple), you can capture multiple still images from a video at one time by specifying the number of captures, etc.
    • Select the Prefer clearer images checkbox to automatically detect less blurry frames when capturing images. Capture may take time depending on your environment.
