How to take a snapshot in VLC
If you want to take a snapshot in VLC, there are a few things you need to know. First, you need to open up VLC and select Media | Take Snapshot.

Once the snapshot is finished, you can select it and hit Play to view it. Or, you can save it to a file on your computer.
Where do VLC snapshots go
If you take a VLC snapshot, it saves the current state of the VLC player. This includes the video, audio, subtitles and any filters you’re using.
If you’re using a VLC extension, the snapshot also saves the extension’s state. This includes the plugin’s configuration, any filters it’s using, and the extension’s interface.
Finally, if you’re using a VLC command line tool, the snapshot saves all the command line arguments you used. This can be useful if you want to reproduce a specific result.
