Export frames as one or more digital images

Sometimes you want to export one or more frames from your project as a video image. We show you how to select and export a single frame in this tutorial. We also demonstrate how to take all the frames in a segment of your project and export all of them into a folder from which you can select any that you want to use for other purposes.

Interesting! I like how you explained the Frame Rate stuff because I struggle with understanding that type of thing

Glad this proved helpful thanks for letting me know. --Jim

Jim, I always learn something new watching your tutorials, be it about the tutorial's subject itself, a general PowerDirector feature I wasn't aware of (like the time range selection tool/export to image), or those efficient shortcuts I keep forgetting (like ',' and '.' for frame-by-frame navigation). THANK YOU!
One thing users may want to be aware of when using Ctrl+p or right-click=>Snapshot :: you may be capturing the frame dimensions and compression quality of the item in focus. Here is where it matters: I video edit on older hardware and need to use the built-in shadow file feature to not overload my CPU/GPU. My original files are of GoPro-11, 5.3k resolution, but the shadow files are reduced to 1080. When I take a snapshot from the timeline (your example) my images have the height of only 1080(frustrating)-: However, when I run a preview of the original MP4 imported into my Media Room, and take a Snapshot THERE, the original 5.3k resolution remains preserved.
2nd and 3rd approach: When I go the Time Rage/Produce to Image route I get 5.3k files of the largest file size (presumably least compression), which is what I want.
Disclaimer, I'm running PowerDirector 20 installed on Win10 (PD version 20.0.2815.0), just in case CyberLink has changed that behavior in recent updates.

That's great stuff to know. I was not aware of the difference. I'll make a note of it. I see the shadow file resolution tops out in 1920 x 1080 in PD365.
