Screen Grabbing Movie Frames

[Matt]

Hi

Not really LightWave specific, but does anyone know a work around to take a screen grab of a movie being played in either Quicktime player or Windows Movie Player?

Or is it a setting in the graphics driver control panel?

All I get is a big blank square!!!

Cheers
Matt

Matt,

There are some programs that will let you make screengrabs from the media players. Go to download.com and do a search for screengrab.

Matt,

If you have Premiere or another editing app, do a "export frame".

If you don't, try this - load the .avi as a background in LW, then render the frame # that you want.

Go to the bottom of the Display Options (d) and select "Camera View Background" = Background Image to make it easier to find the frame that you want.
