Hi Karen,To resolve your issue, we need to open the .mov file in Windows Live Movie Maker. Movie Maker has a feature called Snapshot wherein you can select a frame from the movie and save it as a picture of .png format. For instructions on how to do this, please refer to the following:
1. Open Windows Live Movie Maker.
2. On the Home tab, in the Add group, click Add videos and photos. Select the .mov file and then click Open.
3. Move the slider located under the preview pane of the movie to the point which you want to take a still image of.
4. Click Snapshot.
5. Enter a file name and save the file in your preferred location.
Please note that the picture was saved in Portable Network Graphic file (PNG) format. We need to convert this file to .jpeg using Paint. Please refer to the following instructions on how to convert to .jpeg.
1. Open Paint.
2. Click the blue file menu button located at the upper left of the program.

Every video or animation you see on your television, computer, phone, tablet or even at the movie theater is made up from a succession of still images. These images are then played one after the other several times a second which fools your eye into thinking the object is moving. The quicker the images are played, the smoother and more fluid the movement looks.
Most movies and TV programs are filmed at around 24-30 images per second, each individual image is called a frame which is where you see the term frames per second (FPS). A video file on a computer simply stores all the frames together and plays them in order, and the total frames stored for a typical movie reaches into the hundreds of thousands. If you want to capture an image of one or two frames it’s quite easy and you simply pause the video and press the Print Screen key.
If you want to extract a succession or range of frames or even all frames from a short video clip, capturing the images one at a time is incredibly inefficient and time consuming. For that purpose you need a program that can extract however many video frames you want and save them to image files automatically, like jpg or png. Here are 5 ways to do it.
1. Free Video to JPG ConverterLike all DvdVideoSoft products, Free Video to JPG Converter is bundled with Opencandy adware which needs opting out of during installation. This program will save frames from a video file to a sequence of JPG images. There are four extraction methods to choose from, extract an image every number of frames, extract an image every number of seconds, take a total number of frames from the video or extract every single frame.
Add any number of video files by using the Add files button or drag and drop, most video formats are supported like MP4, MKV, AVI, VOB, WMV, MOV, FLV and etc. Set your extract criteria and optionally a different save location to the default, then start the process. Extraction times are reasonable and will differ depending on video length and how many frames are being extracted.
There are a few issues with one or two of the preset values or if you enter a custom value in the frame boxes. For instance, the total frames from a video setting of 10 doesn’t produce an expected equal split of 10 frames across the whole video. It’s still a useful tool though and worth checking out because Free Video to JPG Converter is still faster than extracting images in real time. Dark brotherhood reborn sse.
Download Free Video to JPG Converter
Tip: To avoid the Opencandy adware during install run the installer with the /nocandy switch. Either run the installer from a CMD window with the switch or right click on the installer > Create shortcut. Then right click on the shortcut > Properties and add [space]/nocandy to the end of the line in the Target box.
Launch the shortcut and the setup will install without any adware being offered. Still be careful during install in case DvdVideoSoft change from Opencandy to other adware methods later on.
2. VLC Media Player
VLC is a popular open source media player that can save sequences of images from any video you choose to play. This can be achieved through the main user interface while more advanced users can use Command Prompt. First we’ll deal with the user interface method.
1. If you haven’t already, Download VLC media player and install or Download Portable VLC media player and extract to a folder of your choice.
2. Open VLC, go to Preferences (Ctrl+P) and click on Show All Settings at the bottom left.
3. Expand Video > Filters in the tree and click on Scene Filter. Set the image format (png/bmp/jpg etc), the path to save the files (leave blank to save to your Pictures folder) and the recording ratio. The ratio will save an image every xx number of frames, so if your video is 30 frames per second, a value of 150 will save an image every 5 seconds.
Tip: If you’re not 100% sure of the video’s frame rate, play it in VLC, press Ctrl+J and look for the frame rate number. Using multiples of that value will give you a recording ratio in seconds.
4. Click on Filters in the Advanced Preferences tree (don’t expand it) and tick the Scene video filter box near the top right, press Save.
5. Play the video file and the images will automatically start saving. They will continue to save until you press stop, even if you pause or skip through the video.
Note: If after following these steps images are not being created, close VLC after step 4 and re-open it, then play the video. For some reason more recent versions of VLC do not recognize the scene filter is enabled until you close and re-open the program.
Once you are done saving frames the option needs to be turned off again or it will do the same with every video you play. Follow steps 1 and 3 above then untick the Scene video filter box. The biggest drawback with VLC is that you have to leave the video running while taking the images, for this reason we recommend VLC for shorter clips only unless you plan to watch the video anyway.
3. Extract Images with VLC from the Command Line
Using the Command line to extract image frames with VLC is similar to the GUI method which will save the specified number of frames. Open a Command Prompt and change the directory to where vlc.exe is located, then type in the command below:
vlc.exe “pathtovideo” –video-filter=scene –vout=dummy –start-time=300 –stop-time=600 –scene-ratio=250 –scene-path=”pathtosaveimages” vlc://quit
Pathtovideo is the name and path of the video file, –scene-path is the target folder for the images while –scene-ratio is the frame save interval. An advantage over the GUI method is the ability to use –start-time and –stop-time to start and stop saving frames at specific times (in seconds). Leave those switches out if you want to play the whole video. Refer to the complete list of commands at the Videolan website.
VLC will run and start the playback but without the screen. Once finished, it will automatically exit.
4. VirtualDub
VirtualDub is a video processing tool that seems to have been around for ever, but it’s still a popular and useful program. The main issue with VirtualDub is lack of support out of the box for opening video files like MKV, MP4 and MOV, but this problem can be rectified by installing the FFMpeg plugin pack. Here’s how to extract video frames to images with VirtualDub.
1. Download VirtualDub 32-bit version and also the VirtualDub FFMpeg Input Plugin from Sourceforge. Extract both zip archives.
2. Go to the VirtualdubFFMpegPluginPlugins32 folder, copy FFInputDriver.vdplugin and the ffdlls folder, then paste both into the VirtualDubPlugins32 folder.
3. Run Virtualdub.exe and open the video file by using File > Open or drag and drop. If you wish to save every frame of a small video file to images, skip to step 5.
4. Go to Video > Frame rate (Ctrl+R) and select Decimate by, then enter a number to save an image every xx number of frames. The No change option at the top will tell you how many frames per second the current video uses. Click OK.
5. Click on the File menu > Export > Image sequence. Enter the filename to save as, the folder to save into and the output format of BMP, TGA, JPEG or PNG. Then click OK and VirtualDub will begin to process the video.
If the method of extracting every set number of frames is what you are looking for, VirtualDub is by far the best tool to use because it’s incredibly fast to extract the images and much faster than VLC and Free Video to JPG Converter.
An additional option in VirtualDub is setting a specific range inside the video itself so only images between the two points are saved.
Before saving at step 5, use the slider and frame controls to set the start range and press the Home key or selection start button (in the red box above), move the slider to the end of the range and press the selection end button or the End key. Now when you save the images, only the selected frames will be saved between the start and end selection points.
5. FFMpeg
FFMpeg is a framework for encoding, muxing, transcoding, streaming and playing video files, and is the backbone of a vast array of video converters and players. It runs only from the command line so is better suited to experienced users. FFMpeg should handle just about any video file you throw at it. Here’s a simple command line argument.
ffmpeg -i videofile.mpg -r 1 image-%04d.jpeg
The -i is the input video file with path and the jpeg filename simply saves jpegs (you can also use png, bmp, tiff etc) with the name and 4 place holding numbers, e.g. image-0001. The -r command is the frames to capture and the reverse of how you would expect it to work. 1 will save a frame every second while 0.5 will save every 2 seconds, 0.2 every 5 seconds, 0.1 every 10 seconds, 0.0167 for 60 seconds and etc. Use 1/seconds in Windows Calculator to get the ratio you need.
More advanced usage can add a starting point in the video file with the -ss command before -i, while -t can also be used to add a duration. Both use an [hours:]minutes:seconds argument.
ffmpeg -ss 04:00 -t 03:00 -i videofile.mpg -r 0.033 image-%04d.jpeg
The above command will start at 4 minutes in, then save a .jpg at 30 second intervals for 3 minutes.
The are hundreds of commands and you really need to read the FFMpeg documentation to understand how it can be fully utilized from the command line and in scripts.
Download FFMpeg
Final Note: There are obviously other tools around that can do a similar task, Batch Video to image Extractor would have been included but it’s quite unstable and has been discontinued by the developer. Daum PotPlayer and GOM Player are media players that work in a similar way to VLC, meaning you have to play the video in real time to get the selected frames.

ReplyGood stuff right there
ReplyVLC is complex,
Free Video to JPG Converter is slow,
VirtualDub is the best…
Really good advice, I had to convert 2 Months of CCTV footage into a time-lapse. Option one saved me lots of work on Premier! Just set the computer working and a couple of days later I had a huge folder of images. Used an astronomy program called PIPP to stitch them all together into a movie for a client. They loved it.
ReplyPerfect…so very quick and lightweight/easy to use.
ReplyYou can use video-photos.com to extract frames from inside your browser (nothing is uploaded to the server). No software needs to be downloaded for this.
ReplyThank you so much. This tool is really useful, super simple and easy to use, no need to install anything and work instantly. Kudos for you.
ReplyIt only does one frame at a time. Who needs help doing that?
ReplyHow do you take one frame at a time?
ReplyThanks for the quick reminder. I had forgotten how I did it years ago.
VirtualDub is so simple to use and so quick.
:)
Yeah this is really outdated because I followed it to a t with VLC and it didn’t work because half of it is no longer there in the program.
ReplyThe VLC guide is completely up to date and if I took new screenshots in the latest VLC 2.2.6, they would look exactly the same. You are not quite following the steps correctly.
ReplyWhere is the default folder where it starts saving the images too? I don’t know if what I’m doing is correct or not. Also is there a way of knowing that it’s working?
ReplyThat’s mentioned in step 3, the default folder is Pictures.
ReplyThanks my friend, I missed that.
Works great. Thanks
I’m also having trouble with the VLC captures. I’ve tried restarting it after saving the settings, I’ve checked in pictures, and I’ve tried sending it to a different directory but I still don’t have any screen captures showing up. I’m pretty sure I’ve followed the steps but I must have gone wrong somewhere.
For step 4, is that just hitting save in the same Scene Filters window where you enter the file type, save directory, and ratio? Or is there some other place and I’ve just missed actually turning it on?
No, for Step #4 click ON Filters in Advanced Prefs, DON’T expand it. There will be a number of checkboxes on the right, check the Scene video filter box near the top right and press Save. Then re-open VLC and play the video.
I’ve updated the article slightly to hopefully make things easier to follow.
I also followed the VLC method to a tee and it did not work…
It looks like its writing files somewhere because of how slow its going
but when I look in the output folder…nothing
After turning on the scene filter (step #4) close VLC and reopen it before playing the video. I had to do that when testing just now or the images were not being saved.
Remember, if you don’t set a path the images will save to the (My) Pictures folder.
ReplyI made a solution to creating ‘n’ amount of screen shots in a video file.
First I had to write a bit a code and extract the duration of the video.
I converted that into seconds and divided it by the number of shots I want to get my intervals.
I also made a script that takes those intervals and takes the snap shot of the media at a fixed time.
The solution takes a lot longer than video to jpg converter.

ReplyAmazing,
I especially like the 3rd option.
You are awesome!
VLC dropped frames but ffmpeg worked. For the newer version (from the documentation):

Use:
ffmpeg -i movie.mpg movie%d.jpg
Replyanyframe is very easy to use but consumes too much data
ReplyThe information you have provided for VLC must be very, very old. There are a number of items that simply don’t exist. For example the image (which I’m not able to paste here) that you have provided above, as appearing in the Scene filter, does not exist. The only option is to simply check the Scene Filter box.
There is something vaguely similar in the Video section but it’s so different that the explanation and instructions provided here are useless.
Also please be aware that Virtual Dub, which used to be very useful, is now filled with adware and malware. I had to remove it from my computer and it was hard to get rid of all the stuff they had installed without my permission.
The information is up to date and I can follow the instructions with the latest VLC without any issue. You are obviously not following correctly. The window for the scene video filter shown in the image above is in VLC 2.2.4 and where the guide says it is.
If you have a version of VirtualDub with adware, you did not download it from the SourceForge link provided. The real program contains no adware or malicious code of any kind and is open source and portable. Please recheck your sources.
ReplyTook me a while to find the typo in the command line version of the vlc.exe command above. It turns out that cutting and pasting the text provided above results in some very mysterious errors. The reason is that the quotation marks in the web page are some unicode smart quotes not unix worthy ascii quotation marks. They of course look like quote marks in your terminal so you don’t realize what the problem is.
vlc.exe “pathtovideo” –video-filter=scene –vout=dummy –start-time=300 –stop-time=600 –scene-ratio=250 –scene-path=”pathtosaveimages” vlc://quit
anyhow thank you for this. You might want to change your command line listed above to UTF-8
also I never did get the VLC gui to work as you described.
ReplyFor those who are interested, I made a free to use tool which allows you to extract frames from local MP4, OGG and WEBM videos, inside your browser! It runs on Javascript, so no uploading is required.
It can be found here: video2jpeg.com
Beware that Safari does not support OGG and WEBM. A YouTube feature may be added in the future.
ReplyHello there,
I am a cofounder of anyframe.net which is a tool to extract images from your videos. We support youtube videos and your own videos. List of supported formats is growing. Our tool runs in cloud with no installation needed.
Could you please add a review of anyframe.net ?
ReplyJust tried it. After registering, it works as claimed.
ReplyThank you for your wonderful knowledge sharing. I just started take video shots using this technique successfully. best wishes
ReplyHello, thank you very much for the very helpful tutorial!
I tried to do this with VirtualDub, but sadly got a problem.
When I try to export an Image sequence with VirtualDub, I always get the error:
“Output settings must be 16/24/32-bit RGB, uncompressed in order to save a TARGA, JPEG, or PNG sequence.”
I didn’t insert any compression, I even moved all newer plugins I once installed (except FFmpeg Input plugin) into a different folder, because when I googled for that error, someone said a plugin might interfere with it, and thus the error message occurs (although it doesn’t resemble what the real error is).
I want to export as PNG, I checked/unchecked the compression option, but as it wasn’t successful, I also tested JPEG in 100 and 90 quality and I tested TGA, but to no avail, nothing works to export as image sequence for me, I still get that error message.
Any idea, why?
I can without a problem export as GIF though, just not as image sequence.
Thank you in advance for any help!
ReplyThank you very much for the great instructions. There is one typo that threw me off for a second, under 2. VLC Media Player, Step 3, it reads: “3. Expand Video > Filers” and should read: “3. Expand Video > Filters”
