Hey, I got vegas 5, how do i render a single frame, you know as like a jpeg file or something,

I could swear i did it before with vegas 4 but i cant remember, im pretty positive theres a way to export just a frame.
 
Re: Frame Render

The same as in Vegas 4 -- there's a floppy disk icon above the preview window. It will export a JPEG of whatever is in the preview window.
 
Re: Frame Render

Be sure to set your preview window to Best/Full before exporting...

(er, that does make a difference, right? I seem to remember that the preview quality makes a difference on the export, but maybe I'm just nuts.)
 
Re: Frame Render

I usually just press "print screen" and then crop it in photoshop. THis way it does not have to go through a jpeg compression that I don't have control over. I have found that stills turn out better this way.
 
Re: Frame Render

You can also click the pad next to the disk, and that puts it on the clipboard instead of saving it as a JPEG. Should give you the full resolution that you're looking for, while not having to go through the effort of cropping in post.

Yeah, it makes a difference. Like I said, it will make a JPEG out of EXACTLY what you see in the preview window. If you have the before/after effects split screen, you'll see that.
