# Extract Video Frame

## Summary

The Extract Video Frame Node captures a single frame from a video and outputs it as a still image. Specify the exact moment using a frame number or timecode, and the node extracts that frame for use in downstream image nodes. It's the bridge between your video and image workflows.

## How to Use

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add the Node">
    Click the Add (+) button and select Extract Video Frame from the Video node category.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect a Video">
    Link a video from another node (such as Generate Video, Import, or Extend).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the Frame">
    Enter a Frame number or a Timecode (format: HH:MM:SS) to specify exactly which moment to extract.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Run">
    The node outputs the extracted frame as a still image, ready to connect to any image node downstream.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Choosing the Right Settings

| Setting  | Type                           | Impact on Output                                                                                                            |
| -------- | ------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Frame    | Number Input (default: 1)      | Specifies which frame to extract by its sequence number. Frame 1 is the first frame of the video.                           |
| Timecode | Time Input (default: 00:00:00) | Specifies which frame to extract by timestamp. Useful when you know the exact moment you want rather than the frame number. |
