| 1149178 | 2010-10-31 19:28:00 | After recently purchasing a new Canon Hi Def video camera our school is wanting to put some photos of what we've videoed into an end of year Year-book. Each time I go to take a screenshot with the Printscreen (PRTSC) button all seems fine. When I paste it into any application like paint or photoshop it only gives me half the picture almost like the picture isn't lined up. I guess it's a case of resolution, but can any one suggest a way of getting an actual screen shot from Hi Def video? I have looked at the software that comes with the camera and it doesn't have that function. Ideas greatly appreciated. NEWTEACH. |

| 1149181 | 2010-10-31 20:07:00 | YEah, what your eye believes it is seeing, and what the computer is displaying at any one instant can be two different things. A lousy interlaced image being a prime example of where still image and moving video can appear to be vastly different. There are a number of free video playback applications that allow for a more intelligent type of screen capture. I'm currently on a computer without such an app, so am having to rely on my lousy memory... is it VLC I've used? www.videolan.org Anyway, dig through the options for the application and you should find a key, or key combination that captures a screenshot directly to a disc file, so you don't even need to open Paint and paste the image. Also, still images captured from video typically look poor compared to the moving video - thats just a consequence of how the media is processed by both the recording and playback software, as well as how the eye smooths out the uneven bits. Oops, pipped at the post by two others... |

| 1149183 | 2010-11-01 00:09:00 | I have a Digital Video Camera (not high definition). I have found it simple to get screenshot photos from video using the movie editing programme. I use the screenshot photos to produce DVD lables. For instant in Windows live Movie Maker you play the movie till you get to the place where you want make a photograph. Press Pause then press the 'snapshot' button in the home menu. You are then able to save a photo to your hard drive. Other video editing programmes may have a similar process. |
