Photo Booth - Convert frame of a video to a still photo?

Is there a way for me to convert the first frame of a video I took using Photo Booth to a photo? I haven't found any guidance on this.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 11.1

Please note that any time you do that, the image has to undergo a re-formatting from a video codec to an image format - that means it will not be as sharp and will lose (sometimes considerable) quality. I do not know if the latest iMovie version will allow it - older iterations did: if you have the movie in the timeline, select a frame and then see if it will allow you to export it as a .jpg.
