My graphic software has a button that snaps pics of the video. You can also run the video and maximize it then hit Ctrl + Print Screen to take a screen grab. You'll just have to past it to Paint. I get thumbnails using both methods.

If you are editing and using Adobe Premiere there is a "freeze frame" element that takes a screenshot for you and then you save it where you want! As far as I know, most editing software has this function

Which button is it on my keyboard that I click for the Print Screen along with Ctrl?

My keyboard literally has a print screen button in the upper right corner. I think my computer at home has the same thing. Actually I just tried without Ctrl and it worked.

Just seen the button there on my keyboard :p the "Prt Sc" button :p Nothing happens at all when I press it, that's both with and without the Ctrl button

You need to open Paint and then hit paste and it pastes whatever was on the screen when you hit the button

If anyone is using mac, find the "Grab" application in Finder - it's the screenshot tool (you can choose the parameters of the image too).
