Indeed it is wonderful piece of software!

Here's another trick to take snapshots of the videos:

Go to Tools > Preferences > Video. Under video snapshots, enter the directory, a prefix, check ‘sequential numbering’ and choose a format. The default is .png.
To take the snapshot while the video is playing, go to Video > Snapshot.
Alternatively, you can take a snapshot using the keyboard with the hotkey [Shift] + S.
To use a button to take a snapshot, go to Tools > Advanced Controls. The snapshot button appears on the playback bar.
