Hey Mike, I just wanted to let you know that I googled how to export a freeze frame from Adobe Premiere, your video came up. It handled my question in 15 seconds. Keep up the great work. I would imagine a high percentage of your views are people who have been quietly helped.

Thank you. It's a pity it doesn't work with text, so the words follow each other.
