Making thumbs from video clips

[Toby]

I just play the movie using WMP, pause at the point that I want to use for a thumb, then use my image editor to do a screen capture. Crop, edit, save, next...

You may have to go into your display setting and turn off hardware acceleration if you get a black screen when trying to capture.

There's probably a fancy program that will do the job, but I don't do enough thumbs from movie clips to bother with it.
