Easiest way to get a shot of anything, including videos:

Cmd-Shift-4, and drag a "box" around the area you want a screenshot of. The file will appear on your desktop as Picture 1.pdf or something like that.

drag the frame to the desktop then export it to a different format.

-r.

If you think this is something you're going to do regularly, this is a great program:
