How can i take a still from a project?

hi wondering if anyone can help
i've just recently got an imac and final cut pro x
i have been watching a lot of tutorials on youtube for tips and info
i am currently needeing to take a lot of stills out of a movie project i'm doing.
online it says go to the share tab at the top, located between modify and window,
now my version of fcpx does not have a share tab there.
the share option is in file and that only seems to do with streaming the movie via dvd,file or internet etc.
can someone please tell me how i take stills, i don't want to have to send the footage to my
old windows computer and get them thru my old software
why should i when i bought a mac??

First. There is a "new" place for the "share" menu. (I think you are reading text from an old "how to" from an older version of FCPX. The "share" is no longer along the top menu bar. It is on the far right of the TOOL BAR.)
Next,  find "Save Current Frame" (or "Add Destination" in the same menu to ADD it to same menu if you do not see it.) Simple.
Good luck

  • How can I take a still from an iPhoto video clip?

    My ipad camera got stuck on the video button so every picture has come out as a video clip. Can anyone tell me how to extract still photos from a video? I don't know which version of iphoto is on my ipad.

    How can I take a still image from a 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 take the pictures from my old ipod and transfer them onto my computer without deleting anything

    How can I take the pics from my old ipod and transfer them onto my computer without deleting anything?

    Pictures on an iPod are stored in a special format, optimized for the iPod's small lower resolution screen, to save storage space.  iTunes puts them into that format when syncing.  There is setting in iTunes, on the iPod's Photos screen (where you set up syncing of photos) for Include full resolution photos.  If that checkbox was checked when you synced the photos to the iPod, THEN you can Enable disk use and find those photo files on the iPod in the Photos folder. 
    Otherwise, you cannot get your photos back, using iTunes.  There may be third-party utilities that can extract individual photos from the iPod, but they will still be lower-resolution versions of the original photo.

  • How can i take Better pictures from my Sony Cybershot DSC-HX9V like DSLR?Kindly Best Settings...

    How can i take Better pictures from my Sony Cybershot DSC-HX9V like DSLR?Kindly Best Settings...

    Taking better pictures on an HX9v isn't something you can just 'do'. It takes learning and creativity.
    Understanding how the camera works, and having a good imagination to use it.
    Look at phone cameras for example, amazing photos.
    If you're talking about image quality, that is, less noise, crisp sharp photos, etc, compact cameras in general just won't match the DSLR.
    If you're talking about photos that look stunning, again, learn how to use the camera, and be imaginative (creative)
    I have a couple of articles to understand the basics to a camera (I really need to find the time to add more) on my website:
    http://d3studio.com.au/
    One thing I'm definitely lacking on there is composition, and that's something you can learn on YouTube - compositions in a photo is very important when you're first starting out.
    Put your 9v onto M (manual) mode, and try out the different things - learn how the camera works, think about what you want to shoot, and then do it.
    Good luck.

  • How can I take an item from one image and move it to another image?

    How can I take an item from one image and add it to another image, and rotate it to fit?

    Carefully select the objects of interest in one image and then copy, scale and position them into the other image. Then touch up the composite.

  • How can I move a photo from one project to another

    How can I move a photo from one project to another without creating a duplicate so I have the same photo in two projects.
    I seems to me in the past when I moved the photo from project 1 to project 2, I would get a number showing the # of photos being moved and you could drag and drop in the 2nd folder and the photos would disappear from project 1 and show up in project 2. is there a setting I am missing.  Now when I drag and drop the photo no red # shows up and the photo stays in project 1 and also shows up in project 2 apparently creating a duplicate.
    Any suggestion?

    Now when I drag and drop the photo no red # shows up and the photo stays in project 1 and also shows up in project 2 apparently creating a duplicate.
    The projects are the basic containers.  Each image and all its versions are in exactly one project.
    You can use an image in many albums, without duplicating it, also in many products like books, screensaver, slideshows.  But the projects are the basic structure of the library and you cannot have the same image in two different project, without duplicating it by storing the same original image files twice. Use albums to organize your library thematically.
    Sorry, I misread your question.   Dragging an image file between projects should move the image and all its versions to the other project.  Aperture should only duplicate the image, if you hold down the alt/options key while dragging and move the image otherwise.
    Which Aperture version are you using? And which MacOS X version?  Is your profile signature "MacBook Pro with Retina display, Mac OS 9.2.x, Aperture 3.5.1" still valid?
    In Aperture 3.6 on MacOS X 10.10.1 dragging between projects is still working as expected:

  • Can I take a frame from my project and use it as a custom menu background with CS4 and its Encore

    My project is edited in CS4.
    I moved it to Encore CS4.
    I don't want to use any of the supplied menu templates in CS4 Encore.
    I was hoping CS4 would be all I needed to create custom menus using scenes from my project.
    My question is: Can I take a frame from my project and use it as a custom menu background with CS4 and its built in Encore or do I need some other element from the Adobe catalog to make these custom chapter menus and sub-menus?
    Thanks Jim

    OK, I'm back. Here are my steps for creating Custom Menus with PS, En and PrPro:
    In PrPro, move the CTI (Current Time Indicator) to the desired Frame. Check Frames on either side, with the Program Monitor’s Magnification to 100%, or maybe even 200% (you’ll need to scroll, but get a really clear picture). You want the clearest Frame in that area. With AME, in CS4, you’ll want to Export that Frame as .TIFF, or .BMP. I use .TIFF for this.
    Now, for a caveat. When you Import this Exported Frame into Photoshop, be sure to check the specs., especially the PAR. You may have to use Image>PAR to adjust this to match your Project’s specs. Or, all might be perfect - just check this out.
    Now, at this point, I choose the Library Menu, Blank, so that everything is setup. One can create the Menu from scratch, but careful attention needs to be paid to the exact naming conventions. At the very least, unless you’ve done this dozens of times before, use that Blank Menu, or similar as a guide, so you get things done, as they must be done.
    Using that Blank Menu, just drag the Layer from your Exported Frame to your Menu image. It will appear above the black Background.
    Add, or manipulate your Button Layer Sets, as is required, keeping them together. Remember that Button #1 will be the Button Layer Set, that is lower down in the Layers Palette. This can play a roll with Button Routing, back in Encore. Lower Button Layer Sets will have lower Button numbers.
    Now, I always rename my Button Layer Sets, keeping the required characters - just changing the name. I also do all of my Button text in PS, and make sure to turn OFF Sync Button Names.
    When done, Save_As .PSD, and then Import_As_Menu into Encore. Note: if you start with the Blank Menu, you can choose Edit in Photoshop, and then when done in PS, you just need to Save, and it will update in Encore. This is a personal workflow choice. I do the Edit in Photoshop route, but it is not necessary. One just needs to Import the resulting .PSD into Encore with Import_As_Menu, so that Encore does all the things that it needs to and recognizes the .PSD as a Menu.
    When deciding what to base your Menu on, remember that you can "populate" your Menu with Buttons from the Functional Content. I’d suggest studying these Assets, and picking the ones that work best for you. You can still alter/edit those back in PS, so you just need to "get close."
    Pay special attention to the required naming conventions. You cannot deviate from those first characters in the Button Layer Sets. They MUST be followed.
    If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask.
    Good luck,

  • HT2688 How can I take music albums from my ipad 3 and put them on to my laptop for free????

    I have recently purchased a second hand iPad 3. The previous owner left loads of music on there that he purchased from iTunes. How can I get this music from the iPad on to my laptop to free some space up on my iPad for some different apps.   Can someone please help???

    The picture sync is ONE-WAY -  computer to iphone.  Iphone is not a storage device or a backup device.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy to put the pics back.
    When you sync pics from your computer to your iphone they are reduced in resolution.  They will never be of the original resolution, but you can e-mail them to yourself.

  • How can I copy the titles from a project volume one use them for the rest?

    I'm editing a four DVD set, and would like to use the same opening titles and credits for each. How can I copy the titles from volume one and use them for the rest? Thank you.

    Open the project that has the titles you want to use. Select (highlight) all the title clips you want, then right-click and choose COPY.
    Open the new project(s), then paste the titles onto the Timeline.
    Done.

  • How can you take a photo from one event and put it in another, without dragging to desktop and dragging back into iPhoto and moving it to the event folder I want it in.

    As the title says I need help on how to take a photo from one event and put it in another, without dragging to desktop and dragging back into iPhoto and moving it to the event folder I want it in. Right now when I want to move a picture from one event to another I drag it to my desktop then delete it from iPhoto then I drag it back into iPhoto and put where I want it.An example would be taking a photo from the Christmas event and add it to a specific person event.  Can I do that within the events section without all the dragging. Also is there anyway I can remove duplicates from iPhoto without going through each and every file. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Apple doesn't make it easy to do what you want.  However, here's how I do it. 
    Select the photo you want to move and create a new Event for it via the Event ➙ Create Event menu option.
    In the Event mode select the new Event with the one picture and drag it onto the Event you want to move the photo to.

  • How can I take my library from a mac to a windows computer

    I have an old ibook that has all of my songs in it. we recently got a new windows computer in place of that computer. I don't want to loose my songs! How can i move the library?! Is it possible to do it from my ipod?

    *How can i move the library?! Is it possible to do it from my ipod?*
    If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
    The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    TuneJack Windows Only
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    SharePod Windows Only
    iRepo Mac and Windows
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows
    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod

  • How do I take a still from iMovie and move it to desktop?

    I right clicked in Event Browser and clicked on <add still frame to project>. Imovie created a stilland added it to end of Storyboard.
    Now I want to use it elsewhere, particularly in iPhoto. The "iLife 11 Portable Genius" manual says to then right-click the picture's clip on the Storyboard, and choose the <reveal in finder> option. But that option does not come up.
    I can't drag and drop the still from iMovie to the desktop.
    Woould appreciate any suggestions.
    Thanks,
