Hi everyone
Today mp4 action videos (from cameras) are 4 or 5 K most often.
Okay, I dont need to make movies in this resolution, as too heavy and not portable to many social platforms anyways, so here I go std HD usually.

But I take captures from the action cam videos, in max resolution, and maybe crop down to the target.

I have always used Vegas for this, as I can jump one frame forward or rearward, or a tad bigger steps - extremely fast, and then make a full capture of the frame.
It can even be shown in the best quality on the screen, or full screen, so easy to pick the best "shot" out of a small video sequence.

Now I went from 2.7 K to 4 K (4000 x 3000 pixels), but Vegas wont work/capture higher than 3840 x 2160 not even if you type it in manually.
Are there any solutions to this, are the newer versions or pro versions able to do this?

I have found two okay different options:
VLC media player can capture in full resolution yes, but you can only step forward one frame at a time, not rearwards - useless when seeking the best capture.
GoPro Player can capture in full resolution also (and 360° video), but the interface is a bit simple/slow to work with - but the best tool I have found yet.

But what about Vegas, I have used for years and years and upgraded often, any options to work in higher resolution for frame captures, or?

Ciao from Peter
