It is very easy to use Premiere for this. At 1 second
scale or closer, scrub to find the best frame, then go to
"export Timeline", "Frame" and name the frame and save it.
BTW, there will be a little later today a set of 50+
frame-grabs from a wedding I'm working on (16 are there
now), at www.David-Ruether-Photography.com/wedding9.html.
