Windows has literally four different apps to play a video file now and each one of them has different options for editing AND THEY KEEP CHANGING WHICH APP CAN DO WHAT

---

Currently, on my computer:

1. The Media Player app is the default... It's editing options are:
   • Edit with ClipChamp
     That's it, there's no way to save a frame as a photo or trim in-app.
2. If I open in Movies and TV, the editing options (listed as "Edit in Photos") are:
   • Trim
   • Draw
   • Create slow motion video
   • Save photo from video
     This gives you the nicer 'save a frame' UI where you can skip through the video to find the frame you want and then save it. It doesn't have frame by frame advance buttons like the old UI did, though
3. If I open in Photos, the editing options are:
   • Trim
     The "edit" icon which used to open a menu now just immediately starts trimming
   • Create a video with Microsoft Clipchamp
   • Open with Affinity Photo(?)
   • A second button with the ClipChamp icon that opens ClipChamp
   • Save a Frame
     This just immediately saves a frame without giving you a UI to choose the frame or any better way to skip through the video accurately

You may notice that the "Draw" and "Create slow motion video" from the "Edit in Photos" menu in the Movies and TV app, which open the photos app and present UIs for those features, are not available through the Photos app itself
Also has a different UI for saving a frame if you use the button in the app itself, by which I mean there is no UI and it just does it without helping you pick a frame

3. If I open in Photos (Legacy) the edit options are:
   • Trim
     The "edit" icon which used to open a menu now just immediately starts trimming, just like in the new Photos app
   • Create a video with Microsoft Clipchamp
   • Open with Affinity Photo(?)
   • Under "Edit more..."
     • Add slo-mo
     • Add 3D Effects
     • Add animated text
     • Create video with text
     These all use the fully featured video editor built into the legacy Photos app
   • A second button with the icon for legacy Photos app's built-in video editor... that opens ClipChamp instead
     That's right, the Photos (Legacy) app has an icon for its own built-in video editor, which still exists, but the button in the app which uses the icon for that video editor opens ClipChamp instead

Anyway, this is all to say that the nice UI they used to have in one of these apps, I don't even know which one it was anymore, which let you save a frame with buttons to skip through frame by frame instead of using the normal video playback thing and being locked to keyframes seems to be gone again
