Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0

Get photos from a video

You can capture frames from your digital videos if they are saved in a file format that Photoshop Elements can open, including ASF, AVI, MPEG, MPG, M1V, and WMV. Captured photos are saved with the name of the video file plus a number (for example, videoclip01, videoclip02, and so forth).

Note: To create photos from the broadest range of video formats, install the latest version of standard video software, such as QuickTime or Windows Media Player.
Getting still photos from a video clip

  1. In the Editor, choose File > Import > Frame From Video.
  2. In the Frame From Video dialog box, click the Browse button to navigate to the video from which you want to acquire still frames, and then click Open.
  3. To start the video, click Play .
  4. To get a frame of the video as a still image, click the Grab Frame button or press the spacebar when the frame is visible on the screen. You can move forward and backward in the video to capture additional frames.
    Note: Some video formats don’t support rewinding or fast-forwarding. In these cases, the Rewind  and Fast Forward  buttons are not available.
  5. When you have all the frames you want, click Done.
  6. Select File > Save to save each still file to a folder on your computer.
