(Tahoe 26.7.2) When I try to save a frame from a video as a photo, the choice Export Frame to Pictures is grayed out.
Mac mini (M4, 2024)
You didn't tell us much about exactly what you're doing-- what mode you're in, for instance. For one thing, the menu item File>Export>Export Frame to Pictures doesn't work in Edit mode. Are you one Edit Mode or Preview Mode or what when you try this?
Here you can see that I have not entered Edit Mode:
And if you are using iCloud, make sure the original has been downloaded from iCloud. Play the video to force a download, then pause at the frame you want to save.
I was in Edit mode. My non-Apple brain assumed that since I was editing I should be in edit mode. Thanks for your help — the link was especially helpful.
