Get Image from Video Frame
The Get Image from Video Frame block captures a single still image from a video at a specific point in time.
Extract a still image from a video frame
The Get Image from Video Frame block captures a single still image from a video at a specific point in time. You provide a video URL and a timestamp, and the block extracts the frame at that position, saving the resulting image URL to a variable you specify. The timestamp can be a numeric value representing a point in the video or the keyword 'last' to capture the final frame.
The block takes three inputs: the URL of the source video, the destination variable name where the output image URL will be stored, and the 'at' parameter that defines which frame to capture. This makes it straightforward to target any moment in a video, whether that's a specific second or the very end of the clip.
This block fits into workflows that involve video processing, content generation, or media management. For example, it can be used to generate preview images for a video library, extract frames for analysis, or produce thumbnails as part of a larger automated publishing pipeline.
What you can build
Real-world workflows powered by the Get Image from Video Frame block.
Video Thumbnail Generation
Automatically capture a frame from an uploaded video to use as a preview thumbnail in a content management or publishing workflow.
End Frame Extraction
Use the 'last' timestamp option to capture the final frame of a video, useful for workflows that need to show a completed state or end screen.
Video Content Moderation
Extract frames at defined timestamps from user-submitted videos to pass still images to an AI analysis block for content review.
Course or Tutorial Previews
Pull a representative frame from educational video content to display as a course card image in a learning platform workflow.
Social Media Asset Creation

What parameters does this block require?
The block requires three parameters: 'videoUrl' (the URL of the source video), 'destinationVar' (the name of the variable where the output image URL will be saved), and 'at' (the timestamp specifying which frame to capture, either a number or the string 'last').
What does the block return?
The block saves the URL of the captured image to the variable specified in the 'destinationVar' field. You can then reference that variable in subsequent blocks in your workflow.
What does the 'at' parameter accept?
The 'at' parameter accepts either a numeric value representing a point in the video (such as a timestamp in seconds) or the string 'last', which captures the final frame of the video.
What kinds of workflows is this block suited for?
This block is suited for workflows involving video processing, media management, content publishing, and AI-based image analysis, where a still frame from a video is needed as an input or output asset.
Does the block support any video URL format?
The block accepts a 'videoUrl' string as input. The metadata does not specify restrictions on video format or hosting provider beyond providing a valid URL.
