I have a captured AVI file in 16:9 format and I want to grab some still images from it. However, whether I user "Clip/Save as Still Image" or "Tools/Save Current Frame as Image" I always end up with a 4:3 image with the result that the image looks squashed. I'm sure there is an easy way to solve this, can anyone help please?
TIA,
Philip
Capture 16:9 still images?

Hi Philip
When capturing video to 16:9 format the frame size is the same as 4:3, for Pal 720 x 576.
But Video Studio displays the frames in there correct format, each format looking correct.
When you capture an image from the timeline the resulting Bitmap will be for pal 720 x 576, for both formats.
Viewing this file on an image editor ( adobe photoshop ) Will show it squashed as the size is 720 x 576.
When you view the file on Video Studio it will show it as you capture it.
If you capture a frame as a still image us ‘fit to project size’ ( preferences / edit / image resampling option)
This option has to be set before capturing your image, altering this does not seem to effect existing images.
Hope this Helps.
