How to Capture Stills from Videos
Filed Under Lessons
Screen captures are a part of life for the avid blogger. They draw the attention of your readers and are useful to illustrate what you happen to be writing about. A problem you may run into, however, is when you try to capture a still from a video. When you use the typical screen capture software, you end up with a blank picture. That does you no good whatsoever. What can be done about this issue?
There are several ways to work around the problem, but I’ll focus on only one. Rather than play back the video with WMP, use an freeware alternative like BSPlayer. With BSPlayer you can easily grab a still by pausing playback, then right-clicking on the screen area and selecting Options>Capture frame. It’s that easy!
