With MPC-HC (it's free) you can look each H264 or H265 video, jump from frame to frame, pressing Alt-I saves pictures.

Indeed, MPC-HC works perfectly with NX1 h.265 videos to pull out still frame grabs.

I changed the program's preferences as follows:

Key '.' = next frame

Key ',' = previous frame (jumps back about 3 frames)

Key 'm' = save the currently viewed frame. NOTE: you must use Alt-I first to select a folder to save your stills to when you press 'm'.

This One Key set-up enables me to use one hand's three fingers to move from frame to frame forward or backward or to save a still frame.

Additionally my set-up enables me to create hot key scripts which I created to grab a full second or full minute of consecutive still frames, ( or any other length of time I want as long as memory permits. This is extremely useful for People/Event 4K shoots).

I save the 4K still frames as .PNG's.

All this makes me one very happy photographer.
