I've been using Final Cut Pro for years and am comfortable with it... but when I've been wanting to alter video frame by frame, i've been exporting frame by frame to jpg for PhotoShop and editing there - it is a mess. What's an easier way to do it? I have used AlamDV for some effects, but that's for special effects, not for the Photoshop type editing I want to do. Someone have an answer?

Cinepaint doesn't seem to open movie files
Maybe I need to clarify - I'm looking for an app that can open and edit movie files frame by frame with basic PhotoShop type tools (paint bucket, dropper, etc.)

Ok, I don't know if any application that works frame to frame on the actual movie files. But, to get cinepaint to work you have to export your dv clip via quicktime as a 'movie to image sequence'. You then work on these frames in cinepaint and then use quicktime to import the image sequence back in when finished.
Cinepaint is only better than PS in this respect due to it's frame manager
The downside is that often you will export as say a jpeg, but then when working in cinepaint want to use their file format (to retain layers, etc) which means saving each individual frame as an .xcf file in cinepaint. I've found no way to batch convert to/from the cinepaint file format, which is a pain.

And actually, AlamDV does open movie files to work frame by frame, but that app is for adding special effects, not for the PhotoShop type modification I'm looking for

You're talking of using a "compositing" package. There's a few tools out there which could do what you need without having to splash out on something like AE. In the long-run though, something like AE could do you good.
There used to be a great program called, "Commotion", but it's sadly not been updated in a while.
