Still need help making Video Snapshots
 

NEED HELP!! with the steps to make snapshots of MPEG Video in VirtualDub (I installed the "lordsmurf" version) with the MPEG plug in and all,now I need to make un-altred snapshots to send,and use for covers:confused:

Open video and let it load.

Go to Video > Copy Source Frame to ClipBoard.

Open your favorite image editor. I use Photoshop. File > New > (OK) > Paste

Done. :)

This is another avenue I have yet to visit!..Photo editing and Software...(Except for Windows Live Photo Essentials) Any links or direction to guides???...And will VirtualDub make snapshots of MPEG files??(Last time I loaded an MPEG file into my L.S. version of V-Dub,I think the "copy -- frame to clipboard" choices were grayed out,and yes the MPEG plugin is installed :)

Please respond to my reply of lordsmurf reply
 

Still waiting patiently to my reply of lordsmurf reply of my question:)

I don't have anything to add, really.

- Be sure you've let the MPEG file fully load before trying to do anything.
- If you don't have any photo editing software, you can use Paint that comes with Windows. Just paste and save as JPEG.

The Windows 7 version of Paint has some added photo features finally, too, like cropping.

Thanks lordsmurf! Windows 7 also has "snipping tool" in "accessories", which I'm just getting familiar with,I think it's an easier way to save and crop/ect.. a file to the clipboard,and to save screenshots to clipboard too..I still have to have a friend show me how to copy/paste a file,But I've learned just enough the past 3 years about computer Audio/Video to get in trouble and stumble along!:)
