Turning Videos Into Still Photos

Freeze Frame!

Have you ever been at an event and had to choose between snapping that one perfect photo and taking video of it? If yes, and you decided on taking some video, you may be able to have the best of both worlds. Here's a short 3-step guide on turning your footage into photos using Adobe Premiere Pro.

Step One: Import footage into Adobe Premiere Pro and double click on it to bring it up in the Source Panel.

Step Two: In the Source Panel, drag the playhead to the frame that you want to freeze, in other words, the photo you want to export.

Step Three: In the bottom right corner of the Source Panel click on the button that looks like a camera. This is the Export Frame button, and it does exactly what it says. Choose what format you want your new photo to be in and export! 

Tip: If you can't see the Export Frame button, you can either expand your window by dragging the sides out (pictured above), or click on the double arrows to show a drop down menu with Export Frame as an option (pictured below).

So there you have it, this is a quick and easy way that you can have your cake and eat it too! Enjoy your photos, and remember to stay creative!
