If the OP is really interested in pulling stills from video, they should spend the $17k or whatever it costs for a Red One and go that route. Not what I, personally, would do, but that's one way to get high res stills from video. | |

Pellicle mirror cameras are made for this (like the old Canon EOS RT film camera and the newer Sony α55 digital); you give up about a third of a stop for a constant viewfinder image, high burst rate and shorter shutter lag. | |
