Is it possible to get decent quality stills from Go Pro video. I used the sniping tool and got postage stamp stills that were blocky if I tried to enlarge

Have you tried pausing the video (when its on your computer) , and using the screen shot function?

Most video editing programs have a frame capture feature, several I am familiar with you simply click a small camera icon which will capture the frame sized same as the frame in the video window. This one is from a Blusmart Camera test I did tonight set at 720P 60fps...pretty nice camera for $65.

Do you have any video you can share.......do you recommend the camera? I would love to hear your thoughts on that camera, thank you in advance.

They won't look as nice as a screen grab as they do in photo mode.

The hero 4 has a photo mode and that is pretty good but you will not be able to adjust for exposure, zoom, ect. The quality is good as long as you shoot a picture in good lighting (not into the sun or at night, etc.).

I pull some stills off video using VLC media player (its free) Quality is not great but you get some cool action shots

With the Gopro studio software you can export stills from your video. It's pretty cool as you can pause the video, and click through each frame to get the one you want before you export it. Great action shots but like others said, the quality will not be as good as a photo taken in photo mode.

The quality of the frame you choose will be the same as the video you chose it from, so if you are recording in 720p it will be 1280x720, and so on.

There just happens to be an expert on this subject who goes by the name Adam Robinson on Muskytooth.
