I would recommend implementing a button so that when the user clicks on it would extract a frame from the recording. The logic would require precise time calculation for when the user pressed the button vs the length of the recorded video. you can find some code snippets on how to implement that here

The simple way is to use the screenshot package.

for show in another widget:

    screenshotController.capture().then((Uint8List image) {
        //Capture Done
        setState(() {
            _imageFile = image;
        });
    }).catchError((onError) {
        print(onError);
    });

or , save in device storage:

final directory = (await getApplicationDocumentsDirectory ()).path; //from path_provide package
String fileName = DateTime.now().microsecondsSinceEpoch;
path = '$directory';

screenshotController.captureAndSave(
    path //set path where screenshot will be saved
    fileName:fileName 
);
