Surely on more than one occasion you have wanted to take a photo with your mobile device, but you have ended up recording a video. If we have time to spare, no problem, we can modify the settings of our mobile device to capture the moment again. But What if it is not feasible?
Si no es factible, pero al menos hemos grabado un video, aún cuando be corto, podemos extraer de ese video la imagen que queríamos haber tomado desde el principio. Hay muchas aplicaciones que nos posibilitan hacer esto, no obstante, la mejor de todas es VLC, una aplicación gratuita que además es una excellent video player.
And when I say videos, I mean any video, since VLC is compatible with each and every one of the different formats that we can find. But it also has a series of functions that many users are unaware of and that make it a very versatile application. If we don't use VLC we can download it directly from the Videolan web portal, developer of this software libre.
To extract images from videos, we must perform the following steps.
Once we have downloaded the application and it is already installed on our PC, we must open the video from which we want to extract the images with this application. For this, we just have to click on the video in question with the Right mouse button and Open with choose VLC.
Once the video has started to play, while it is not in full screen, we must click on Video and choose Screenshot. Previously, we must have paused the video at the right moment we long to capture.
The images that we obtain from the video will be located directly in the folder My documents / images and include the file name and the time in the movie when the capture was made.
