    Final Cut Pro – Exporting Still Frames


    Final Cut makes it easy to export a still frame – provided you read this first.

    Exporting Still Frames

    1. Park your playhead on the frame you want to export. This can be in the Viewer, Canvas, or the Timeline.

    2. Go to File > Export > QuickTime Conversion.

    3. Select Still Image from the Format menu at the bottom.

    4. Give the image a name and location where you want it saved.

    5. Click Save. The default export format for your still image is PNG.

    Important Note: In versions prior to FCP 6.0.2, still frames are exported using video pixel aspect ratios. In FCP version 6.0.2, images were exported using square pixels; because of this, image sizes changed during export. This was fixed in FCP version 6.0.3.
