Q: What's the best way to make stills images from a movie file?

I have a movie file which is a low quality footage. The film has a few photos that I wanna use as photos. I made freeze frames in FCP 7 and exported them. I wonder if there is another way.

    Pretty much what you are doing. A video frame is what it is - small pixel dimensions, low dpi count, shot by a non-still photo camera - and not a lot can be done to effectively improve or up-rez it.

    You can try this software, which is the latest incarnation of an app called  Genuine Fractals to make the image larger:

    but there is not much you can do about making the image "better."
