you could program QuicKeys (or other app) to do the menu change when
you Export with QuickTime Conversion, i guess.
you would do the first one, and establish the still image format
(Tiff, Jpeg, etc).
FCP remembers that, (but not that Still Image was the last export
option!)
you know, if they just fixed THAT,
then exporting still images would be a LOT easier
as for automation XML would probably provide a better way.
let's say about you add markers to a timeline, clip, or group of clips,
then export an XML from those.
you then run that thru some XML app, and you get a still image from
each marked frame.
