How can I take a still image from a video?

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 export a still picture from a video clip?

    How can I export a still picture from a video clip?

    I'm able to export stills from iMovie without anything extra. I create a new project - call it Exports say. Now, in your event clip with the frames you want as stills, select a single frame and drag it into your project. Repeat for other stills you want to export. Then choose Share -> Export Using QuickTime.
    In the pop-up, choose Movie to Image Sequence. Click Options and choose the image format you want. Playing with the number of stills lets you pick how many stills you want from each second of video. Hit OK and the stills will be generated in the directory you choose.
    I've only done this with HD video. Don't know how well it works with lower res, interlaced vid.

  • How can I get a .jpeg image from my video image?

    I want to take an image I captured on film, and turn one frame into a .jpeg file so I can use it in Photoshop. I've created a freeze frame by hitting SHIFT+N .... but now how can I use this image elsewhere? Or is there another way?

    What I always do is go to File> Export Using Quicktime Conversion> then on the bottom change the "Format" option to "Still Image" and change the "Use" option to whatever you like. (JPG, BMP, etc.)
    Just make sure your on the frame you would like to export.
    There might be a better way but this hopefully helps.

  • How do i subtract a still image from a video I have recorded

    say I have a video and at one part of the video I pause it and would like to take the frame that is up on the screen and make it into a still image> how would I do that?

    Your headline seems to indicate that you're trying to remove a still from a video -- while the body of your post seems to indicate that you're trying to make one!
    I think what you want to do is create a Freeze Frame. If that is so, click on the little camera icon on the bottom right of the Monitor panel and select the option to insert it into your movie project.

  • In iMovie '09, how can I capture a still picture from the video?

    I have a movie that i got into iMove and I did edit it down and make a nice video from it I uploaded to YouTube. I want to know if there is any easy way to get stills from the video. when I run my cursor over the movie and get it on a person that I want to make into a still photograph is there a way to get that single piece out?
    If I locate the part of the film I want as a still then try and do a screen capture, when i move the cursor to do the capture the pic in the movie changes as I move the cursor. (hope i'm making sense).
    So is there a way to grab a single frame?
    Susan

    Two ways to get a still:
    1) In project, move cursor to the frame. Right-click/add freeze frame. The Freeze frame is placed right behind the current clip in the project.
    2) Select a frame in an Event. Right-click/Add still frame to project. The still is added to the project at the end.
    (after doing either 1 or 2, continue with step 3)
    3) Right-click on the still frame in your project. Select "Reveal in Finder". Drag the JPEG file that you see and drop it on the iPhoto icon in the Dock.
    Hint: You can create a new project just for the stills. This way you will not clutter up an existing project.

  • Can I capture a still image from a quicktime movie?

    Can I capture a still image from a quicktime movie?

    Yes. But how you do it depends on your version of quicktime.
    If you have the pro version, you can easily use the "Export" option to output the video as a series of images.
    For the basic version of quicktime, or if you want to quickly take make a still image of a single frame, you could just use the "Grab" application in OSX to take a screen shot.

    How can I best load RAW images from a Canon SX50?

    9Sorry, ........confused about this process.   When I attempted to Post the question I had entered, I was told a blank space could not be posted.  So, I reentered the Q in the "space"........ which apparently was the space for an answer....!! ??......)
    >  When I try to load RAW images taken by my Canon SX50 from the SD card, iPhoto 11 -  (iMac/OSX 10.6.8) tells me that it can't read the format or something like that.    OSX 10.6.8 came out before the SX50, thus, did not include the related program.           I want to shoot RAW on the SX50....... but I then want to load them into iPhoto....... which I do directly from pics I take with my Nikon D200.  
    Not sure if this will help.............

  • How can I extract a still picture from footage in iMovie, add text to it and print it ?

    How can I extract a still picture from footage in imovie, add text to it and print 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 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 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 restore a single image from an aperture time machine backup, do I have to restore the entire library? that does not make sense

    I hope there has been found a more efficiant solution for this,  how can I restore a single image from an aperture time machine backup, I really hope I don't have to restore the entire library? that does not make sense
    any suggestions?

    Did you try browsing your backups in the Finder ?  That is, do not go and "Enter Time Machine".  Instead, navigate to your Time Machine backup via Finder and then manually go to the time period (by folder name) you are looking for ... when you find your Aperture library you can then "Show Package Contents" and find the Master you are looking for.

    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.

  • How can I keep a photo image from fading away on my tv using apple tv.

    How can I keep a photo image from fading away on my tv using apple tv?

    Thanks for you reply.  When I paint, I bring up the photo as you suggested.  I begin painting.  After about 10 minutes or so, the photo goes blank.  And, I have to start the process over again to get that same photo.  It interrupts the painting process.  I think it goes blank due to a sleep function.  I have gone into the Apple TV settings and turned off the sleep function.  But, this does not seem to work.  What can I do to keep the image on the TV screen permanently?
