How do I save just one shot of a .m4v to a single photo for export
iMac 27″, OS X 10.10
I usually do this outside Photos by exporting the frame from MPEG Streamclip, or in QuickTime Player copy & paste to Photoshop.
Start playing the video in Photo and move the slide to the frame you want to save. Then click on the gear button and select Save Frame to Pictures from the contextual menu.
It will be saved to the Picture folder in .tiff format which can be easily changed to whatever other image format you require.
Thanks for that info. I will try tomorrow. I didn’t see a save to pictures on my Apple iMac photos but I will check it out.
What system and Photos versions are you running? What I described is in Photos V 5.0 on Catalina.
Sorry, but I have no idea. Computer is about 10 yrs old!! So not a new model.
thinking of having an upgrade soon - just for my photos as I have so many.
Will check it out tomorrow .
thanks for help.
