Exporting?

Quick way is just show the frame you want in the viewer and do a screen grab. It will give you something usable which I think is what you are looking for. You could also do a freeze frame and export...search your online FCP help for how to do that.

set an IN><OUT on the frame you want, select EXPORT from the file menu, choose QUICKTIME CONVERSION, then change format to STILL IMAGE.

Zac is there an advantage to setting in and out points? I usually just place the playhead on the frame I need.
 
Forgot to mention, besides being a one step trick...one other advantage of doing it as a screen grab is you won't have to change the pixel depth size. A still image through Quicktime conversion will make it 960 X 720 (for 720p) which will be stretched because of the computer square and video rectangular pixel difference. (Just make sure the viewer is at 100% when you do the screen grab CMD SHIFT 4)
