Learn to Freeze and Hold frames from video clips in Premiere Elements.
Export a video frame
You can grab a single frame from a video clip to use as a still image in your current movie or to save as a still on your hard drive for use elsewhere. For example, you can use a still in your movie to show a character start an action, but then stop mid-action, frozen on the screen.
-
-
In the Quick view timeline or the Advanced view timeline, drag the current-time indicator to the frame you want to grab.
The Monitor panel shows the frame at the location of the current-time indicator.
-
In the Action bar, click Tools and select the Freeze Frame option from the Tools panel.
The frame appears in the Freeze Frame window.
Note:If you have Adobe Photoshop Elements installed, and want to edit the still image in Photoshop Elements, choose Edit In Photoshop Elements After Inserting.
-
Do one of the following:
To export the frame as a still image file, click Export. In the Export Frame dialog box, give the image file a name and location, and click Save.
To insert the frame as a still image directly into the movie at the current-time indicator, click Insert In Movie.
Play and then hold a frame (or hold and then play)
To make the video start as a still image and then begin to play, click Tools in the Action bar on the Right and select the Freeze Frame option. Create a still image from a frame and insert it at the location of the original frame.
Export Freeze Frame
The Program Monitor includes a Freeze Frame button for capturing a still image from a single video frame.
Export Freeze Frame
You can export the freeze frames using the Export Freeze Frame feature. A dialog box opens when you select the Export Freeze Frame icon in the Program Monitor. You can also import the Freeze Frame by clicking the Export Frame button from the Freeze Frame dialog.
In the Export Frame dialog box, you'll find the clip name and format in which you want the frame to be saved. JPEG and PNG options are available. The path where the image will be exported is also available in the dialog box. You can browse the location to save the image by using the Browse button.
BMP Format is Windows-specific and not available on Mac.
