Tranquillity Base > Frame Grab

Frame Grab provides you to export frame images as JPEG, PNG, TIFF and HEIC file format from your movies very easily. You can export one-by-one, or export multiple frames from the queue at a time.

To add frame images temporarily to the queue:
- drag and drop the frame from the video screen to the side bar queue area.
- using continuous grabbing function.
