Stills & clips

Pull a still or a clip from any video in your library and save it back as a reference — next to GIF Maker, without jumping to another tool.

Creative tools in Bloom are built to stay attached to the library. Besides GIF Maker, you can capture a still or pull a clip from a video reference and keep it as its own item.

GIF, still, clip, visual search, and research — tools in the same workspace.

Capture a still

Open a video reference and choose Capture Still (or the equivalent in the tools list). Scrub to the frame, capture, and save. The still lands in your library like any other image — indexed for search, ready for boards and decks.

Use stills when the moment is a composition, a grade, or a wardrobe detail, not a motion beat.

Create a clip

Create Clip pulls a video excerpt rather than a GIF. Use it when you need the motion in a native video file — for a deck, a presentation, or to hand to editorial — instead of an animated GIF.

Trimming follows the same idea as GIF Maker: in and out points, then save to the library or download.

From a reference, Visual Search finds similar work in your library (and, where available, continues into research). It's the fast way to turn one frame into a cluster of related selects.

Why this lives in Bloom

The point is not a new editor. It's that GIFs, stills, and clips never leave the system your boards, decks, and agents already use. Everything connects back to the library.

Good to know: If the video isn't in Bloom yet, paste the link or upload it first. Tools run on library references.
