Re: [FCP-L] exporting stills short cut?

Just a thought, but another option is to export your whole sequence as
an image sequence. Then, switch your timeline to show frame numbers
instead of timecode and take note of all the frames you want stills
of. Go to your exported image sequence directory and delete all but
the frame numbers you want to keep.

Maybe practical in some circumstances, but not so practical in others of course.

Of course, Martin could always make us a little plug-in (or add the
feature to Loader) to make our lives a bit simpler...
