The advantage of the "export-frame"/"import-file" method, as
I pointed out, is that nothing else need be done for
perfectly smooth, sharp, quiet-looking still images in the
video that also perfectly match the motion-video they may
have come from (no other "gyrations" are needed...;-).
These can even be shifted around (especially horizontally)
using the motion tool with little or no artifacting...
