In MPEG Streamclip, click FILE/EXPORT FRAME.Ĭhoose JPEG, TIFF, or PNG and give it a name. In MPEG Streamclip, move the playhead to the frame you want. Its a small application which is also handy for conversion etc. You can do this in a separate app called 'MPEG Streamclip'. However, unfortunately there is no way to export that frame from the actual video and save it as a separate image file. With iMovie 11 (assuming thats the version you are using) you can create a 'Freeze Frame' - so the video will pause on a frame for a set duration to give a dramatic effect, even nicer when you add the Ken Burns effect to it. I use Final Cut, but used iMovie 11 a fair bit before I moved up.
