You could use Grab to take stills from a paused frame.

Thanks, thats exactly what I have been doing, but thought that a sophisticated programme like imovie would have its own tool. Earlier versions did. Also how do I make the picture in imovie larger so I can get a bigger still frame of it?

I may be wrong, but the size of picture is determined by the size it was shot at. You can watch movies full screen, so I guess you can do that, but I'm not sure how you could use grab then.
I haven't played with iMovie enough to know if it has a built in still grab feature, but if earlier versions did I'd be surprised if it didn't.
Over to someone with more experience with it.
