Add feature to extract a single frame to an image file

See https://ottverse.com/thumbnails-screenshots-using-ffmpeg/ for some tips on using frames:v to grab an image from the input file.
This would be quite simple to implement. But I'm not sure how and where to place that feature in the GUI. Do you have any ideas on that?
Maybe on a new tab? And add a view to show the frame at the currently selected time, and maybe a button to export it.

In my opinion this feature is a bit out of scope for a simple ffmpeg gui. Exporting single frames can be done on Haiku with the Medo video editor. What do you guys think?
At least for now, I agree. For this and other features (cutting, for example) we'd need to integrate a video playback to scrobble through a clip, possibly respecting I/B frames etc. This appears to be a bit out of scope...
I wouldn't rule it out forever, but we'd need a lightweight solution for the above first.
Ok, removed from the 1.2 milestone, maybe check back in the future on this.
