Screen captures on DCPomatic

[rosanamadalina]

Hi Everyone,

I'd like to know if there's any way I can screen capture some stills, directly from a DCP, using one of the DCPomatic's softwares. The goal is to retain the maximum quality possible, in order to use said stills in other promotional materials (booklet, social media, for ex).

If not, does anyone have any suggestions? I know I could just export a video file, and go on from there, but I'd like to get other inputs on this matter.

Thanks!

Hi, so long as the DCP is unencrypted you can load it into the DCP-o-matic player, find the frame you want, then do File -> Save frame to file (Ctrl+S) to save the current frame to a PNG or JPEG. Is that what you're after?
