How can I make a still photo from imovie

How can I make a still photo from imovie?

Let's assume you have iMovie 11 (Version 9). (If you have a different version, let me know. The instructions will be different.)
First, get an app called MPEG Streamclip, which is free. (google MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5)
Open MPEG Streamclip.
In iMovie, select the clip you need. Then, right-click/Reveal in Finder.
Drag this clip into MPEG Streamclip
In MPEG Streamclip, move the playhead to the frame you want.
In MPEG Streamclip, click FILE/EXPORT FRAME.
Choose JPEG, TIFF, or PNG and give it a name.
You can then drag this photo into iPhoto.
I have created a short video Tutorial on how to do this. There is one error in the Tutorial, where it says that Command-click is the same as right-click. I should have said Control-click instead.

  • Can you make a still photo from clip

    How do I take a frame from imovie and make a still photo from it.
    Thanks

    AppleMan1958's Tip, as referred to by Matt, works fine for iMovie '09, but if you have iMovie '11 you will need to use a different procedure.
    Unlike all earlier versions of iMovie, the latest version (IMovie '11 - 9.0.2) does not provide for the creation of stills from video for use outside the program. Certainly, you can create freeze frames in the project and add stills from the Events - but these are only available within the project.
    The best solution is to use MPEG Streamclip - available from the developer (Squared 5) here:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    In the Project or Event, right-click (or control-click) on the clip from which you wish to extract the still. From the pop-up menu select Reveal in Finder. Drag the clip to MPEG Streamclip. Move the playhead to the desired frame. Now, from the menu, select File>Export Frame. The following window will appear:
    Choose your preferred Format (JPEG, TIFF or PNG) and other options if desired, then Save. The saved file can now be used in iPhoto or any image editing application, or printed as required.

  • How can I create a still photo from my video

    How can I create a still photo using my video.

    I'll assume you want to create a still to use outside FCPX, not a still frame within FCPX.  It's kinda hidden in the "share."  Go File/Share/Add Destination.  You want "Save Current Frame."  After you've created that destination, it'll be there for you in the future under Share.

  • How can I export a RAW photo from iphoto to anywhere without it changing into a jpg?

    How can I export a RAW photo from iphoto to anywhere (PSE, or desktop) without it changing into a jpg???

    See if any of this info will help:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    Click to view full size
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop.  When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.  3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    Click to view full size
    that indicates that  PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file.  You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    Click to view full size
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Click to view full size
    NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window".  That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu).  This way you get the best of both worlds.

  • How can i get a still photo off an iMovie?

    How can i get a still photo off an iMovie?

    You do not need the QuickTime MPEG2 disk image unless you want to convert some MPEG2 clips. For photos, you don't need it.
    You can buy it from Apple at this link, but like I said, you should not need it.

    Assuming you have iMovie 11 (also known as Version 9.0.4), here is how you do it. (If you have a different version, let me know. The instructions will be different).
    First, get an app called MPEG Streamclip, which is free. (google MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5)
    Open MPEG Streamclip.

    In MPEG Streamclip, click FILE/EXPORT FRAME.
    Choose JPEG, TIFF, or PNG and give it a name.
    You can then use this photo in Photoshop, Pixelmator, Acorn, or the app of your choice to add text.
    Here is a demo I made the other day for how to extract the still image using MPEG Streamclip.

  • How can I make a PDF file from each folders with layers, where each page is a each folder?

    How can I make a PDF file from each folders with layers, where each page is a each folder?

    I found an answer to my own question. A work around of sorts.
    Download Photoshop Elements 6 for Macintosh. With PSE6 I made a slide show with 550 images 1920x1200, without thumbs. I ran into one problem making the slide show. My images contained 4 images which had not ben created by Photoshop and could not be included in the slide show. Opening the images in Photoshop CS4 and re-saving them still did not make then acceptable. Not a big deal. I probably could have fixed the four images by stripping all EXIF data before opening them in Photoshop. BTW, PSE6 made the slide show in demo mode.
    I hope the bug in Photoshop CS4 will be fixed in Photoshop CS5.

  • When creating a book how can I get all the photos from an album to show up in the order they were in the album?

    When creating a book in iphoto, how can I get all the photos from the album I want to use to show up in the order that they are in the album?  When I tried to use the option to add my own photos instead of having the program "flow" them, they showed up all mixed up.

    iPhoto puts them in the book in chronological order.  So to get your photos from an album into an iPhoto book in the same order you will need to use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option and set them all to the same date with a 1 minute time difference between each.

  • How can I make an audiobook purchased from another source show up in iTunes as an audiobook and not as music?

    How can I make an audiobook purchased from another source show up in iTunes as an audiobook and not as music?
    They chapters are mp3 files. Changing the genre to "audiobook" or "audiobooks" does help.
    I am sure this question will come up a lot, since the book in question is "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," purchased from Pottermore.com.

    The one thing I would add to the instructions above is that the "Media Kind" menu is on the "Option" pane in the "Get Info" Window. This procedure has allowed me not only to make imported audiobooks show up as audiobooks, but imported podcasts show up as podcasts.

  • HT1296 How can I transfer all my photos from my Ipad Mini to my new MacBook Pro

    How can I transfer all my photos from my Ipad Mini to my new MacBook Pro
    I am facing problem while I connect to my iPad mini with MacBook Pro , it only sync photo from its taken by and from it camera roll only. It doesn't sync all the images... Like my all albums. All photos in library....

    To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.
    You should also be able to copy albums that you've created directly on the iPad via apps such as Simple Transfer (though I haven't tried it)
