Function removed in Big Sur (11.2)!?

Hello everybody! It seems the extraction of a still image from a video is no longer possible in Big Sur! Did anybody already figure out how to do this now? The settings icon in the control panel is gone!


Please help! Thank you!

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.2

The only Apple app that can do it is iMovie and Final Cut Pro. iMovie is free, FCP is expensive.


Tell Apple what missing features you'd like restored or new features added in Photos via Feedback - Photos - Apple but don't hold your breath.

You can do it with GraphicConverter. Open/edit the movie with GC from within the library and play the video. Stop at the frame you want and use the File ➙ Save As menu option. Select jpeg.


You'll finally be presented with this option window where you should select the first option:



Be sure to select Desktop as the destination for the saved image file.
