Hi,
the kdenlive function "extract image" (png) makes a timeline screenshot with extreme low quality. How / where can I configure the resolution?

I remember first time I used this function, the quality was not so bad, was normal, like video quality. Something must have changed. But I don't find configuration for that.
I'm using kdenlive Version 19.12.3 (ubuntu 20.04). If I make a jpg/png by setting area start and end with one frame between, I get a high (=normal) quality pic using rendering -> select png/jpg , only area -> go .

Thanks to developers and maintainers. A very goog software! I contribute by making donations!

PS: I miss a function in that forum settings, that I can be notified by email if somebody answers in "my" threads. I can't look every day in the forum, it would be a waste of time and after 1 week i forget it often. Answer gladly as PM.

* somebody here knows if that feature is improved in higher kdenlive version?

* somebody here who wants to earn money updating ubuntu LTS-Versions with higher kdenlive versions? - You can offer this service others, too, even make the knowledge public. I have not the time search and search how a update works. Only concerning LTS-Versions (Long Term Support = Business). This person can deliver the money to kdenlive developers as donation, I don't mind. But I want contact to one person who runs itself ubuntu LTS (now 20.04), has successfully updated on his system and is responsible for the result on my 20.04 LTS.

the frame created is a project resolution related screenshot... i extracted a frame from a 1920x1080 Mp4 clip .. and the frame quality looks like original.

this is a "zoomed" comparison.


i'm using latest nightly build for Windows.

I could update to next stable version 20.12.0 (for ubuntu 20.04).
But same low quality.
Then I switched off proxy! Now quality is the same like in video. "Proxy off" is the solution if using the build-in function "extract frame"/ "extract pic". But if I make ich by "Render" with "selected area" and I select 1 frame, then "proxy off" not necessary.

well.. is necessary an Alert about that .. maybe.
