Android get specific frames from video/while filming video

Question

My app is filming a video from which i need to get specific frames. Is it possible to save specific frames while taking the video or even after saving the video? how?

EDIT: Another option is to take several pictures in a row with no video(moving the camera and taking a picture every second) is this possible?

The MediaMetadataRetriever class has a function called getFrameAtTime() . I think this works only after saving the file. You will only get key frames.
