Publisher's description of FrameShots

From EOF Productions:

FrameShots Video Screen Capture takes snapshots of MPEG, AVI, WMV, Quicktime, DivX, FLV, and other files to create thumbnails. Features include the ability to navigate frame by frame to capture a frame of video and the option to autotrim any black borders around your videos. The thumbnail creator allows you to copy entire frames or only the snapshot straight to the Clipboard for transferring to Photoshop or any other image-editing software. The frame grabber also has a batch mode, which will automatically make a thumbnail at periodic, set intervals during multiple videos. The program includes support for DRM-protected videos and command-line support for making screen captures out of your entire video library.

Version 3 adds DVD support along with the ability to store different profiles with settings information.

Editor's review of FrameShots

Short on looks but long on ease of use, FrameShots Video Screen Capture captures your favorite movie scenes to single JPEGs or thumbnail galleries. Handy navigational controls let you quickly browse movies and snag the frames you need. Skip buttons move a certain number of frames backward or forward within the movie. Taking a snapshot is as easy as clicking a button. Alternately, a batch mode captures frames at set time intervals. Sliders for brightness, contrast, and sharpening allow simple adjustments to the captured image, and the program can chop off any black edges. FrameShots Video Screen Capture lacks a manual, and the online help is sketchy. But the program is so simple, most users shouldn't have trouble. As with most programs of this type, the demo slaps a watermark on captured images. Nevertheless, we recommend it to home users, especially those with online video collections. Version 2.2.4 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, and bug fixes.

  "Did almost exactly what I needed it to do"

  by gman1945 on January 3, 2009

  Pros: It was quite intuitive to use and allowed very small increments between frames in order to extract the best possible screen capture jpgs.

  Cons: Not quite enough information in the Help section to make it quite clear what the relationship is between the maximum output resolution permitted by the program and that available from the input video file.

  Summary: It downloaded efficiently (not too big a file) and functioned well, especially once I'd found empirically how far I could push the output resolution. It was good to be able to choose settings for maximising the quality the screen shot by having Dire... read more >>
