Urban Dictionary's Word Of the Day

The first Defenestrator practice in a few months coinciding with Urban Dictionary's word of the day

This picture was taken from a still from video footage we got of practice. Trying to get a still from footage on Premier is so unnecessarily round about and awkward.

On Pinnacle Studio you put your timeline marker to the frame where you want to take a still, and from the still menu click the wee camera button and then click "Save As" and save in appropriate format through a typical drop down in a Save As menu style.

In Premier (industry standard software for reasons beyond me) you have to Export, Media then try and find the frame using In and Out Points in the Output window then choose where to save it and what to call is (and select Bitmap format) and then click OK which transfers it to the Adobe Media Encoder queue window where when it reaches it's point in the queue (and anyone who's ever used a busy printer knows the frustration of queues) it starts making a bitmap of every frame between the in an out points. Good if you want LOADS of frames turned into bitmap files but annoying as fuck if you want just one still.
