While I believe that users do have their ways to put good screenshots from videos (trailers, etc.), I've noticed that some others have the tendency to simply use the print screen function to take images from the video player. This usually results in loss of quality and resolution (especially if your computer's screen has a display resolution smaller than 1920x1080). So here's some tips for those who are not familiar with taking good video screenshots:
 * Download the video in FULL HD (1920x1080, if available of course) by using an appropriate software (such as Free YouTube Downloader). Note that if the video is available in a resolution that is even higher than Full HD, feel free to get the best.
 * Use a video player (such as VLC media player) that can capture snapshots, take screenshot(s) at at your chosen timecode(s) and locate the image(s).
 * It is usually advised not to crop the image, depending on the situation (e.g. trailers).
