Video app that will capture still



Kdenlive also works
 
If you want to go hardcore, open your terminal and type in man ffmpeg.
 
When I want to do that I just pause the video and hit printscreen button. works wonders.
 
I'll second the suggestion for VLC. The 'Advanced interface' available in 'Preferences' has a dedicated button specifically FOR this....or you can use the built-in tools to add it to the 'Basic' interface as a standalone function.

The well-known SMPlayer - basically a GUI 'front-end' for mPlayer - also has one. It's not a trick unique to Windows, believe me!

Many Linux apps designed for handling/editing/processing video will have some means of extracting & generating still images from the video datastream, if such is required.

I'd forgotten all about Flameshot. Haven't used it for a few years, but from what I recall it's quite easy to use.

Yup; that'll work too. Though I have one of these 'compact' keyboards - no PrintScreen button, y'see - so for me, that one would take a bit of messing around with xdotool to get working.

(Off-topic:- Me, I either use a Puppy-native app called "Take A Shot!" OR the KDE Project's KSnip (which you can get as a standalone AppImage).....screenshot-cum-image editor.

From here:-


I use v1.7.3, from 2020. Works well for what I want.)
