Normally a player will use XVideo or another accelerated output, which KSnapshot cannot capture.
So try to set Kaffeine to use X11 output.

Yes, X11 output is much slower than XVideo. Even if you may not notice it on some movies, you will notice it on higher resolution ones. So once you are done taking snapshots, it's best to switch back to XVideo or whatever your accelerated output is.
