It is mind boggling that this is not a feature yet. iMovie even has this function.

I agree! It would make thumbnail creation for videos so much easier.

I'd like to be able to easily capture high rez screen shots of video projects. I use them for promo material for the podcast episodes. Right now I have to export the video to my hard drive then put it in filmora where I use their snapshot feature.

Yes!!! I'm currently using VLC Player to export a single frame PNG for YouTube thumbnails. This will improve my workflow.

Just chiming in to say that this extremely basic feature is very important and literally every other video editing software has it!

How is this still not a thing?

Its really crazy that this has not been implemented yet. Easy to implement and reaaly a must have in a video editor

Hi guys, descript is great but this is a super basic feature that really is important for video creators. Please can you add this, I was surprised that that this feature is not included. This is a significant hurdle in the video editing process with Descript. Need to upload to a different video editing software to do this now. Kind of defeats the purpose of using descript in the first place. Thank you

Four years later, and still no way to export a frame as an image?!

I just did I search on how to create a Thumbnail from a video frame - and guess what - you can't! Please fix this simple task.

Currently I have to export the video, then take a screen shot of the frame, then go back to descript and insert the png at the start of the video.

Without this, I can't use the video to publish as an FB Reel as there is no thumbnail option on FB Reels.

Am I missing something?
