Every picture I take in movement comes out like this, how do I not do that?

I don't know gopros at all, but I'm assuming they don't have a manual exposure setting for stills. If they do, ramp up your shutter speed. If not, you may try taking high frame rate video and just digitally capturing stills in post production. I don't know, just my 2 ideas.

the problem is exposure, the shutter on the gopro must not be fast enough. I would say your only option is to record and capture in post production

Turn up the ISO limit (if you can). The camera needs more light. Aperture is fixed, so it can either increase the sensitivity (iso) and cause more grain, of decrease the shutter speed (allow more light in) at the cost of motion blur. If neither of those work, you could try external lighting, but that really isn't all that practical.

You're shooting indoors, that's why.

More light, or go outside.

For even better quality than just a screenshot on your computer, use the cineform app or whatver it is, and get your video with the screenshot in it to the edit stage. Get the video to your desired screenshot. Stop the vid. Go to file, then click on export still shot, and it's a lot better than just a computer screenshot . Note this option will only be available in the step 2 ( edit stage)

Screengrabs are no where near as good as actual photos.

You're not shooting on time lapse mode are you OP? At

Yeah I'm pretty familiar with gopros and have never had the subject get that blurry. Mine usually come out really nice and sharp.

Try a higher burst maybe? The four separate lights could be messing with its brain too

shoot a ridiculous amount and then only use the ones that come out good.
