Alright folks, I've got a question for all you computer-savvy people.
I'm trying to get pictures from the "Reign of Fire" trailer that I'm downloading from the official website. So I download the trailer, and view it through Quicktime. I hit "print screen" when the frame shows up with the pic I want, and I've tried this both while the trailer was actually playing & also by simply moving the scroll bar to where I want it. Then I open up Paint Shop Pro, and hit "Paste as New Image".
This is where the problem occurs. Instead of it coming out as a solid picture that I can crop and work with...I get an image that looks like I'm actually dragging a square around the screen. If I move the "image" box to the right, it shows the right side of the movie screen. If I move the image box to the left, it shows the left side of the movie screen. It's not just a plain picture. I can't do anything with it. If I try to save it as a .jpg or .gif, it just shows up as a black box.
CAN ANYONE HELP ME?!? What's the problem? Even JJ can't seem to figure it out. :(
