Video Frame Capture View

You can capture video frames to create still images. You can also print the captured still images.

Switch to the Video Frame Capture view by one of the following operations.

  • Select a video in Day View of the Calendar view, the expanded display of the Event view, or folder view, then click Video Frame Capture at the bottom of the screen
  • Click Video Frame Capture in Global Menu on the left side of the screen when video frame capture is in progress

Important

  • If videos do not appear, check the system requirements and file formats. For details, see File Formats.
  • 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.
