Learn to use the Export Frame button to create a still image (freeze frame) from a movie clip.

Grab still images straight out of your sequence and export them as images.

Before you begin

Add a clip to your sequence and identify the frame you want to export as an image.

  1. Position the playhead at the desired freeze-frame in a clip or sequence you want to export.
  2. Select the Export Frame  button. The Export Frame dialog box opens with the name field in text edit mode. The timecode of the frame from the original clip is appended to the still image clip’s name. For example, ClipName.00_14_23_00.Still001.jpg

Result

Premiere Pro creates a still image file on disk and reimports it into the project by default, adding a new project item. You then have to manually edit the still image clip into a sequence.

Note:

Still images appear in Lavender color in the timeline, letting you easily distinguish the imported clip from the original.
