Is there a tool within MacOS that can capture a frame from a (iPhone-taken) video, and save it as a jpg or heic file, to keep within Photos? I want to keep the frame, but not the full video.
It seems that there used to be a settings option when playing the video, but I do not see it on my MacBookAir running OS12.3
MacBook Air (2020 or later)
User chewch discovered that the extraction of still frames has been moved to the "File > Export" dialog: Big Sur export frame from video in photos - Apple Community
The method has been described in the user guide in the section Export photos, videos, and slideshows from Photos on Mac - Apple Support of the Photos user guide, the paragraph "Export a video frame as a photo":
You can review a video clip to identify an outstanding frame and export it as a photo into the Pictures folder.
Open the TIFF in Preview and export it in the format you want (Jpeg or Heic), then import it back to Photos. Adjust the date and time, and add a location. It is not possible to save the still frame directly to Photos.

Thanks, got it now. Curious that the exportframe function is not available in Edit-mode.
Yes, it is a bit confusing that the tool has been moved to the File menu. But I makes some sense, as the result is exporting a file from photos, and the video will be left unchanged in Photos.
How can I capture a still from a video in Photos?
