Take a screenshot of a QuickTime movie frame

quicktime

I'm trying to export a screenshot of a part of a video in QuickTime Player 10.

How can I save a freeze frame capture from a QuickTime movie?

The saved image should be only the single video frame, not including the QuickTime Player window's chrome or controls.

I can't find a screenshot menu item in the Export menu…

A solution I found with Quicktime:

Pause the video on the still frame you want as an image, then hit cmd+c (copy from the edit menu). Then open the Preview app and select File/New from clipboard.
