Snapshot shortcut #351

I love this essential tool! Request for a new feature. A keyboard shortcut to grab a single frame from H265 video and save to a specific folder as .jpg or .png. I am running Windows 10. The name should include the original clip name and frame count or time code of snapshot.

This would be super handy for my editing workflow for feature film shooting 6K H265.

Great idea and noted. Am very busy with work and life right now but should hopefully have something along these lines added in the near future. Cheers!

Hi @ozmartian! Came here to request this exact feature. I'm not used to Python development but willing to give it a shot... Could you possibly point me in the right direction? How can I grab a frame from where the cursor is at?

You could just watch the video in MPV and hit "S" key to save thumbnail in Home folder. Adding this to VidCutter is real easy, but lengthy to type out without both Python, Qt5 and MPV library knowledge.

Thank you for the tip! To expand on that: VLC can also take snapshots at a given frame. However, ideally, it would be possible to do it in VidCutter to have a more efficient workflow. In any case: thank you for this wonderful piece of software!
