At least in P-5, the "export" options are: "movie",
"frame", and "audio". The advantage of exporting a frame
from Premiere is that it will include all the filters
applied to the clip, and it will be in every way a match
for the video in Premiere. When imported and dragged
onto the timeline, the frame (BMP) will appear on the
timeline one second long, can be drawn out or in to any
length, and must be rendered to see it (or use "alt" scrub...).
The frame will play with perfect smoothness. I often do this
to extend a clip a bit through a transition when it is a
bit too short ( the lack of motion doesn't show for parts
of some transitions...). I also found this the best-looking
way to add stills to video, even if the original video is
of copied prints or slides (well, not THE best
way... - shooting slides and prints with a VX-2000 in
still mode on Memory Stick and importing those is REALLY
good! ;-). I've never had as good results scanning slides
and negatives and importing those files (they tend to
"glitter", for some reason...).
