Export frame from video not working I am running Sonoma 14.0 on my Apple M1 Pro MacBook. On a video that was taken with my iPhone 13 Pro, I am trying to "Export Frame to Pictures". Nothing happens when I click on it and when I go to my Pictures folder it is not there. I have other frames I have exported from the past several years. But not this one. I have tried several times. Is there a new setting with the new system? I would think if the ability is no longer available it wouldn't have the option in File>Export>Export Frame to Pictures. Any help would be appreciated.

Just to be clear, this is what happens for me: I click on a video, hit space bar, and it expands to fill the frame. I move the indicator to get the right frame. I then click on File>Export>Export Frame to Pictures (it's not grayed out for me), and it seems like nothing happens, but I can see a new image named Frame-stuff in my Pictures folder. Is this what you did?
