Choose frames your way

The whole clip, in your hands.

Preview the video in line, browse every frame in a scrollable gallery, and choose the moments that matter. Prefer a quick sweep? SnapMotion can still space 10, 100, or every frame evenly from start to finish.

How it works

From clip to keepsake in three moves.

  1. 01

    Drop in a video

    Drag a clip into the window or pick a file. MOV, MP4, and M4V clips up to 30 minutes long all work.

  2. 02

    Preview and choose

    Play the clip inline, scroll through every frame, select exact moments, or use evenly spaced frames when speed matters.

  3. 03

    Export what you selected

    Your PNG, JPEG, or TIFF images land in a timestamped folder alongside metadata.json, ready to use anywhere.

Why SnapMotion

A small tool with careful output.

Preview before you export

Play your video inline with familiar controls, so you can find the right moment without leaving SnapMotion.

Browse every frame

Scroll through a lazy-loaded gallery of the entire clip instead of relying on a handful of sampled thumbnails.

Choose exact moments

Select the frames you want directly, or let SnapMotion space a chosen number evenly from start to finish.

Full source resolution

Stills keep the video’s native resolution and orientation. A 4K clip gives you 4K images.

Private by default

Everything runs locally on your Mac. Nothing is uploaded. Internet is only needed for license checks.

PNG, JPEG, or TIFF

Choose the output format that fits the job, while keeping every export at the video’s native resolution.

Metadata included

A metadata.json records the source file, duration, resolution, and frame rate.

Count-aware exports

The image count stays within the clip’s actual frame count, so the selected frames and exported images always agree.

Open another video

Move from one finished clip to the next with a clear replace action that keeps the workflow in one window.
