In this After Effects tutorial, we look at 2 convenient methods for capturing and exporting still frames from After Effects. The tutorial utilizes Video Copilot’s FX Console, a free third-party tool where you can capture a screenshot of the composition and quickly export it out by either a flat file or pasting from your clipboard.
Additionally, the tutorial introduces an alternative method within After Effects itself. By selecting the desired frame within the composition and navigating to Composition – Save Frame As – and choosing a file format (such as PNG or JPEG).

Whether using third-party tools like FX Console or relying on After Effects’ built-in features, this tutorial shows you efficient ways to capture and save still frames for further use in other programs or projects.
