# Capturing Single Frames

A single frame capture, or a frame grab, is the simplest clip input operation. This is useful for extracting snapshot frames for a preview or promotion piece.

To capture a single frame:

1. Cue up to the frame you want to capture using the VTR Transport controls or by scrubbing the preview window.
2. Click Grab.

   The captured frame is saved in the Workspace.

3. Click EXIT Input Clip to view the captured frame.
4. If you want to compare the captured frame against the frame in the preview window, load the clip into the VTR Input module and enable split-screen view. See Monitoring Video During Clip Output.
