from the Help System:
To capture photos
1 Click Settings > Preferences > Capture.
Choose Bitmap or JPEG as the Snapshot format.
If you select JPEG, set the Snapshot quality.
2 Click OK.
3 Select a video clip in your project.
4 Drag the Scrubber to the frame you want to capture.
5 Click Edit > Take a Snapshot. The photo snapshot is automatically added to the Library and saved to your working folder.
Note
You can also take snapshots of the current position of the Scrubber by choosing Snapshot from Record/Capture Option.

Re: Getting a Still
Hi
Just to add
after selecting the frame you wish to capture (take a snapshot) you have two options
From Project Playback mode or Clip Playback mode
Notice the words being highlighted adjacent to the play button.
Project Playback will create an image as seen in the preview screen, includes titles etc.
However it will use the frame size as set in Project Properties, correcting the image for anamorphic videos.
From Clip Playback---will create the image directly from the video files frame, using the original frame size.
Your original video file type will determine which option is suitable.
What are your video files properties?
