If anyone wants to do the same thing: Video players can often take screenshots right from the video. Has the benefit of not being affected by resolution differences, other things on screen, subtitles being shown, etc.
I use IINA on macOS, but there's nothing special about it. VLC can also do it. mpv can do it. Probably more.
And skipping frame by frame can often be your friend in the quest of finding that one frame in the intro that doesn't yet have text fading in :D

I also prepared a setup to share the ones I have taken for others to download and use. I won't share the link yet though, because I first want to improve the thumbnail view on the file listing to not download all images in full size for the preview :D (And gather some more, currently it's still kinda empty)
