Able Video Snapshot

How to take a snapshot of your video within Able Video Snapshot?

The program lets you take snapshots directly from your movie! (AVI, MPG, MPEG, VOB, WMV)
This means you can go to any point within a video clip,
capture a freeze frame picture, and save this image to your computers hard drive.

There are many uses for these snapshots.

• You can use these video pictures to create title slides.
  I like to find an interesting video scene that seems to symbolize my movie and capture a snapshot of it.
  You could also add a title directly to the picture using a photo-editing program.
   
• You could e-mail hi-light pictures of your video to friends and family.
  Not everyone can receive or view videos, so these pictures are a great alternative
  (and they don't take as long to download).
   
• You can also use the snapshot feature to transform your camcorder into a low-resolution digital camera. Simply point your camcorder at your subject and later you can go through your video and take virtual snapshots directly off the captured video.

The actual process of taking these snapshot is quite easy.
While viewing a video clip in the preview monitor, pause the clip at an appropriate spot, and click "Snapshot" button.
Program will then ask you where you would like to save the picture.

Program allows to edit your snapshot before saving:

• Color Adjust - Contrast, HSV, HSL, RGB, Equalization, FFT, Gamma correction,
     Sharpen
• Effects - User filter, Bump map, Lens, Wave, Morphing filters, Rotate
• Auto Equalize
• Undo

I need to be able to take frame grabs of film credits on the fly. Having to stop and enter a filename for each shot wasn't going to work for me.

Answer:

You can use

Options | Save | Automatically

Choose the necessary Path, File type and Name.

OK

In this case you need to click "Snap Shot" button only.

By the way I use it to review AVI security video files. It is very handy. I have multiple purchased copies on multiple computers.

I use Able Video Snapshot to snap some picture out of my webcam video, and sometime I also used to snap some picture out of my anime. Video Snapshot really work great, it can snap some picture out of my wc video, even vlc cannot do it. I download version of Able Video Snapshot 1.1 from downloads.com as a trial version and really like it went online to purchase the full version one.

I did a search on the net to find a program to capture still images from video clips. Often, I use my camera in movie mode, and miss out on a lot of still pictures.. so this way I can continue taking my movies, then go thru them and take whatever still photos I want from them. Plus I have a few friends with slow dial up who can't view my videos easily, so I send them a bunch of stills from the videos instead.

Thank you for this very easy to use and useful software. I review high-speed digital recordings of aircraft seat crash tests, and this software makes it possible for me to capture scenes from the video for description and reporting.

Thank you for this great program. I use it to pull video snapshots of my large family. Yours is one of the most intuitive programs I have tried, and the video snapshots are very clear.

I use the program to get photos of my videos. With the video frames one find images very difficult to obtain with a photo shooting. Your program is the best I know in what concerns high quality snapshots and LARGE enough . So the most interesting feature is the SIZE of the snapshots: LARGE with QUALITY.
