Still-image destinations in Final Cut Pro for Mac

Use the Send Frame to Pixelmator Pro, Save Current Frame, and Image Sequence destinations to send a video frame to Pixelmator Pro, save a video frame as a still image, or save a sequence of video frames as still images.

Note: The Save Current Frame and Image Sequence destinations do not appear by default. To add either of them to the Destinations list, see Create share destinations.

The Send Frame to Pixelmator Pro, Save Current Frame, and Image Sequence destinations include the following settings:

Export: Choose a file type for the exported file.
Scale image to preserve aspect ratio: Select this checkbox to scale the output file to use square pixels and maintain the original aspect ratio (which results in an increase or decrease in the number of horizontal and vertical pixels).
The checkbox affects only projects with formats that use non-square pixels, such as NTSC and PAL formats. If the checkbox is not selected (the default setting), the output file uses the same pixel aspect ratio and has the same number of horizontal and vertical pixels as the original video.
Action: Optionally, choose what happens after the file or files are exported.
- Save only: Saves the file or files to the location you choose.
- Open With: Opens the image or images in Preview or an app you choose.
- Add to Photos: Saves the image or images in your photo library.
- Open in Pixelmator Pro: Opens the image or images in Pixelmator Pro.
Burn in captions: If you added captions to your project, you can choose a caption language to burn in to the output media file.
Note: Burned-in captions are permanently visible in the output file and are not the same as embedded captions.
