individual frames from movies

How do you save individual frames out of movies (Mac only for now)? Using macbook pro os 10.6.8. I spotted you hit space bar to open video in preview window and click play to play. How do you export the still photo?

George,

When you get to the frame you want by either scrubbing or play/pause, right click (or Ctrl-click if you have a 1-button mouse) and choose "Save video frame as..."

You can also set the "Poster Frame" and later save that frame by using the Save as dialog from anywhere in the application (Preview or Contact Sheet).
