Binnion 0 #1 March 16, 2010 Anyone know how to do a screen grab on a Sony HDR-CX7 during playback? Maybe it isn't possible. Some of the sony's let you hit the photo button during playback and it would store a photo. That doesn't work on the CX7 that I can tell. I've searched the web and manual and can't find anything. I've done a frame grab from Final Cut Express but it's interlaced so it looks terrible. Any advice (other than jumping a still camera). Cheer up, the worst is yet to come.

Superfletch 1 #2 March 16, 2010 Right on the sony style description of the camera it says you can do it but it sounds to me if you have to have a memory stick. Do you have one in there? Have you looked at it to see if the frame grabs were recorded. If you do and you have and they weren't there then there is probably a setting to turn the feature on. But it is possible...

TomD 0 #3 March 17, 2010 The way i've done it, with a little bit of success, is to play back using VLC and use the snapshot function. If you take a normal snapshot it comes out fairly crappy but if you set the interlacing to linear, you get some decent ones. I'm guessing this removes interlaced frames hence giving decent quality as it plays faster than usual when this setting is used. Anyone got any idea how to do this whilst keeping it playing at standard speed? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
