There is no technical difference between a frame of video and a still image these days. Both should contain embedded data that may or may not include GPS data, copyright data, time and date, f-stop, aperture, color space used in the rendered version of the RAW data, lens used, and even the number of exposures the capturing device has made in its lifetime.

I am a professional photographer.

Many web applications will strip this data from the image and some photographers include in their contract that this information must NOT be removed.

So, when I see ANY image (no way to tell if it is from a video or a still) the first place I go is to the embedded data to check its authenticity.

Pretty sure if you capture a frame from a video, if it has an exif info, it will be from the capture of the frame and generation of a new image by your screencap application, not from the original taking of the video.

Here's the link of the actual drone footage shot on 8/30/19.

Scroll to about 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Decide for yourself.

There was/is a caretaker on the island who looks like that. See around the 1:46 mark in this report:
