How to Capture a Still Frame from a DVD.

When designing a DVD label, I like to use some screen shots from the DVD itself. The DVD I am referring to is the one I create for a client.

The fastest way to capture a DVD still frame is to use Nero Show Time.

Insert the DVD into the DVD drive. Use Nero Show Time to play the DVD. Search and Pause at the position of the desired frame. Then right click on the picture. A menu will appear. Select "Capture frame".

The picture will be captured and saved in the clipboard.

Next I will use my favorite image editing software and select "paste". A beautiful still bmp picture will appear.

Nero Show Time is part of a whole package of Nero 6 DVD creation software.

    AdrianLee: Today I purchased Nero 8 Ultra Addition for one specific reason; I need to capture and copy a still frame. Following your advice on doing so, I got to the "Capture Frame" and right clicked on it. I looked for it on my very crowded desktop but couldn't find the frame. What the heck do I look for out of all the mess on my desktop.

    After you hit capture frame, you can then go into paint or photoshop and just hit paste... it will then paste what you captured.

    I can only capture one frame as it stays in clipboard even when I capture the next frame

Macbook Air M1 Case

I bought a transparent case for my MacBook Air M1 . It came with a free screen protector, a keyboard cover, and some rubber plugs to cover the ports. Check it out! https://youtu.be/d-wALSd3nn8 I didn't expect the rubber plugs. It was a nice surprise. The case fits snuggly, with access to all the ports. The keyboard cover is almost invisible to the eye. I have no intention to use the screen protector. Why? I need to see the true color of the display for my YouTube videos. ~ Adrian Lee  @Adrian Video Image  The video was recorded on iPhone 12 Pro Max with Filmic Pro app in 4K 60fps and edited with Capcut.

Sony Vegas Pro 8 makes it easier to edit videos from different cameras right from the timeline. You can capture and edit video for a single scene from 2 or more cameras or for a single scene shot a few times with one camera. Here is a tutorial of a Multicamera Edit of a drama I shot. The drama was acted out four times to the public and being a non-profit organization, the client have budget only for one videographer. For each of the 4 acts, the camcorder (Sony HDR-FX7 High Definition Camcorder) was placed at 4 different positions and shot in various angles. Multicamera edit is accomplished in only 8 steps with the Sony Vegas Pro 8.

FCPX - The storage device "Macintosh HD" is almost full

The message "The storage device Macintosh HD is almost full" appeared when I was editing a video with Final Cut Pro X on my new Apple Macbook Air M1.   Final Cut Pro Taking up Too Much Space  My Macbook Air M1 had only 256GB of storage onboard. My raw footage was only about 9GB. The biggest file was the FCPX project files itself at about 140GB! How did 9GB become 140GB? There is not enough disk space for my Final Cut Pro. Why Is Final Cut Pro Taking up So Much Storage Final Cut Pro renders files in high-quality media so that we can playback our edits smoothly direct from the timeline.  It creates multiple HUGE high-quality files of our footage in the background.   It is a good thing, so as to maintain high-quality final edited video, BUT not a good thing for a laptop with only 256GB. How to Clear Disk Space on Final Cut Pro The question is how to delete the rendered files in FCPX? 1. Select the library in FCPX...  2. Go to Files > Delete Generated L...
