2. Drag and drop the video in the timeline to start working on it.
3. In the preview window, click the Play button to start the video and click Pause at the frame in which you want to take the snapshot.
4. Once the video is paused, you should look for a snapshot button right under the video preview - as shown in the image below.

5. Clicking the button will add the snapshot image to the media library. To check the actual location of the snapshot, right-click on it and click Reveal in Explorer to open the image location.
