 Hello everyone welcome back to another Adobe After Effects tutorial. This one I'm going to show you a real simple technique to extract a still frame out of an After Effects composition. It's very easy to do inside Premiere Pro but in After Effects you got to do a little bit of rejigging. So if you want to work along with me I've just got a standard composition here. I've got a video as you can see here as I scrub through it. Just a regular video and let's just say that I really like this shot right here. Okay we got some girls dancing. I want to take this shot and only this shot and save it as an image. There's two ways to do it. I will show you both. The first way is you want to go up to composition and you want to hit go down to save frame as. If you go across you'll see that it goes to file. Now the first and this is the default setting for me but if you're not sure how to do this you want to basically go in and where it says output module minus selected as photoshop. There are a bunch here select photoshop and when you see here on the right side it says output to at the end of it you're going to see .psd. That basically means you're going to be output out basically putting out a rendering a photoshop document. That is what .psd stands for so I'm going to go ahead and do that and let's just go ahead and hit render and bang it's done in a split second as you can see here and if I go to where I rendered it which is up here in my creative cloud you're going to see here that I've got it it's saved here as a .psd and when I double click it it opens up inside photoshop naturally because it's a photoshop document. That is one way to do it there is another way if you want it to be a jpeg which might be the case for a lot of you guys so I will delete this render here I'm going to go back over here to the craziest nightlife and let's say for this instance I want it to be a picture of this girl holding a water gun all right whatever it doesn't really matter you want to go back up to composition you want to go to save frame as select file just like we did last time but this time we want to go ahead and change this up I'm going to go down to custom and then instead of photoshop sequence you're going to see it loads up main options and color management instead of photoshop sequence I can select jpeg sequence so jpeg sequence and I'll keep everything else the same and I'm going to hit okay and then I'm going to render that and it's done in an instant of course I'll go back into where I where I loaded it up and now you're going to see here that I've got that image saved as a dot jpeg and when I open it up it opens up in preview and it is exactly what I want it guys so if you're working after effects and you want to take out some pictures from inside of it this is an amazing way to do it it's really really easy to do I hope you enjoyed this tutorial I got a lot more stuff coming up thanks for watching
