Exporting Frames with 6.0

[LemonHousePlant]

I'm trying to export frames from a video I took. When I pause the video frame by frame it looks pretty good. But when I export it as a frame it looks terrible. With lines of different colors in the picture and it's more blurry than it was when I stopped it frame by frame. Any idea on what to do? thanks

You need to de-intelace the frame - if you're exporting one frame of interlaced video, you're actually exporting two frames combined together -hence the "blurryness". Right click on the said frame and select field options.

Yaaar! Okay, I put the clip in the timeline. Double click on the clip and find the desired frame. Once found I go back to the timeline and right-click.Then to video then to Field Options. Then I click "always deinterlace". I export and it's still terrible looking. So I Right click again and go to video>frame hold> and check the de-interlace box..and it still turns out terrible..Am I messing up somewhere?

Do you just want a still, i.e to export a "picture", or do u want to hold a frame for a long period?

Well, I'm not the original person, but I would like to export still pictures.
