Export still from Media Pool?

PostWed May 22, 2019 3:20 pm

I often have to export a still from a clip that is not in a timeline. Is there a way to do this from the Media Pool?

Only way I know to export a still, would be to create a timeline with the clip, bounce over to color panel, grab a still, go to still panel and export, then back to media pool/edit panel and delete the unnecessary timeline. So many steps, is there an easier way to do this? I'm used to Premiere where there's a snapshot button right in the media viewer. Two clicks, easy-peasy.

There are 626 instances of the word "Still" in the manual, so hoping someone just knows the answer to this. (only 5 instances of "still frame", but all apply to the gallery)

I also have the same problem. Need to grab stills to create save the cat but I just couldn't do it in a fast way on DR. I ended up using Premiere. It really is just a simple function I hope DR 17 could add really.
