Transforming video into still images

[mmacdoug]

Hello

Could you please kindly advise me on the best available Adobe software for creating multiple image files from a single MP4 video file automatically without having to do this manually by identifying a timeline separately for each image? I would like to create a profile photo from a personal video and choose from the multiple images forthcoming from an automated procedure. 

Many thanks in advance

Premiere Elements has several tools that should do what you want.  You can use the freeze frame tool to pick a frame in the video timeline and save it to an image file in a folder of your choosing, immediately.   There is also a tool called Magic Moments that will automatically extract several of the best frames from the video and allows you to save them as images to your desktop.

You can get a free trial of the program and see for yourself.    If you have further questions about it, I suggest you ask your question in the Premiere Elements Community Forum.

Another way of describing the desired output is as an image sequence, although my original message already states what I want to avoid having to do. It is very easy to create individual clips using a timeline with basic inbuilt Windows software.

Are you talking about creating an animated GIF from a video sequence?  If so, you can do that in Premiere Elements also.
