Quickly grab a still frame from an iChat video chat |
|
|
I just discovered this serendipitously: during a video chat in iChat, you can Command-click and drag the image in the video window to get a still frame that you can then drag anywhere else as an image.
I noticed this on Tiger's iChat, but I'm pretty sure it should work on Leopard's version as well.
[robg adds: It does indeed work in 10.5, too. Note that Command-Option-S will create a still image from the video window; it's the shortcut for Video -> Take Snapshot. This will create an actual picture file, whereas the drag method creates a "picture clipping" if you drag it to the desktop. The advantage of the drag method is that you can drag the image directly into another application without having a file created in the Finder.]
