ive been trying to capture a picture of a movie clip so i can use it as a download link on my site. I press the print screen on my keyboard then ctrl + V and import it into a paint package but the movie turns out a black screen but it captures my desktop fine i dont understand what im doing wrong because ive done this before and its been ok until now. Any ideas??

Try pressing CTRL+V 2 times in Photoshop, that should work.<br />Or recapture the still frame and paste it again.<br /><br />Marco<br />info@codialer.com<br />ICQ 29151164

it is pretty common, it is usually because of your graphic/video card - lack of speed, memory, sync etc. <br />to prevent this<br />1. stop movie, do not take screenshots on the fly<br />2. wait a sec<br />3. then printscr<br />4. import clipboard to your fav editor<br />5. if it fails, return to point #3<br />6. if it fails again, rew/fw movie to next keyframe, and start with point #2<br />7. if it fails, download virtualdub (freeware under GNU license), I haven´t had any problem with this one, CTRL+1 makes movie-screenshot<br />learn more here<br /><a href="http://www.digital-digest.com/dvd/downloads/virtualdub.html" target="_blank">http://www.digital-digest.com/dvd/downloads/virtualdub.html</a><br />8. import in your fav editor<br />J.
