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

Onlly problem is - I discovered after my email - is that Motion exports
HDV as 1440 wide and thus too square. but that's easily remedied in
Photoshop or Fireworks.

Still think that it is an incredible oversight for FCP not to have an
easy still image export, given that it is a common task.
