How do I capture a still photo from my video footage??

Probably easy I know, but just wondering how to capture a still photo from my video footage. I pulled a particular clip into my viewer window and have found the still shot I want, what next??

Thanks in advance for any help.

Cheers,

Put the playhead over the frame in the timeline and choose Modify>Make Freeze Frame. It will appear in the Viewer window. Drag it into the timeline.

If you want a photo for iPhoto etc. put the playhead over the frame and select File>Export>Using QuickTime Conversion.

In the window that opens change the "Format" setting to Still Image from the dropdown menu.
