Check your speedClip snapshot is a free iMovie plug-in of a very special kind. It doesnÂ’t actually provide an effect that can be applied to a clip. Rather, itÂ’s a productivity tool that allows you to use snapshots of your clip outside of iMovie. The plug-in allows you to select any area from any frame in a clip, and -- at the touch of button -- exports the contents of the active are to the clipboard or a number of different file formats. If you choose to export to a file, you can also specify various compression settings.
The plug-in also allows you to choose between different source formats to ensure non-distorted snapshots (important for those people that use PAL or VGA source).
What should I use it for?
Use this ‘effect’ whenever you need to quickly take a snapshot of your clip, and rather not go through the screenshot-crop-export cycle. We use this little tool for creating
- storyboards
- documentation
- cd/dvd covers
- collages
- animated gifs from movies
