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,
Bob

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

HT201317 How do I take a photo from photostream and put it in a document

I can't figure out how I can use my pictures from photostream other than viewing and sharing. I need to insert them into projects I'm creating.

To do this on your phone, copy and paste them into your document (tap and hold on the photo to copy it). If you need to import it to your computer to do this, save it to the camera roll by tapping Edit, tap the photos you want to import, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll. You can then import them to your computer using your usb cable (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083). Alternatively, attach them 3-4 at a time emails and send them to yourself.

How do i take the playlist from itunes and put it into my iPhone 4S?

I made a playlist via itunes and went to sync it with my iPhone 4S with no issue but the playlist didn't change over. Now i could just as easily make a playlist via the iPhone 4S and be done with it but I shouldn't have to and either i put all my music into a playlist and select playlist only then it might work but i'm looking for a suggestion to fix this issue with minimal affects. If the suggestion is to just put it as a playlist via the iPhone so be it. But I feel that's a bandaid on a missing limb. i wish Apple wouldn't make such drastic changes without user input.
itunes : 11.0.1.12
iphone: 4S
IOS: 6.0.1

Everything works as it always has regarding syncing in version 11 as it did in previous versions.
Select the content desired to sync and sync.
If you want to use "drag and drop" enable the option to manually manage content on the device.

How do you take your existing iTunes Library and move it to an External Drive?

I'm at my capacity of Storage Space on my iMac w/ the majority of memory being used via iTunes. Is there a way to move my existing Library to my external Hard Drive and still look/run the same as if on my computer? How can new loaded music/movies/etc. be loaded to that same library on the external drive? Will I need to do something different in my normal Time Capsule Backup since the Library no longer resides on my computer's Hard Drive? Many thanks for the help?

I copied the entire iTunes Folder within [myusername > Music] to my new external drive.
at this point, you need to launch iTunes while holding the option (⌥) key, click on choose library when prompted, and select the iTunes folder you copied to the external.
I then went to 'Advanced' in iTunes Preferences and pointed the new folder location to the copied iTunes folder on the external drive.
this only tells iTunes where to put new additions to your library, not where the current content is.

How to extract a still from iMovie to create a jpg

I suggest that you use a free app called MPEG Streamclip.

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 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 do i take a playlist from my itunes, and put it onto my ipod with the newest itunes?

How do i take a playlist from my itunes, and put it onto my ipod with the new itunes?

For music that you've purchased from Apple that are on your iPhone you should be able to copy to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. Also if you are in the US then you should be able to re-download past music purchases for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
For your own music that you've copied, then if you haven't got a backup on, for example, external drives or CDs/DVDs then you could see if any of the utilities mentioned in this old post still exist and work

I somehow changed a video in my imovie to zero fps, so it just plays black. The video still exists on my desktop but even when I delete the files from imovie and reimport them the file is still in zero fps and play black.

I'm not sure of your question.
Are you asking how to use Photoshop?
Or are you asking for the dimensions of video iMovie uses?
It edits in 720P HD, which is 1280x720.
You can make it a bit bigger so you can zoom in.
Much bigger then this is a waste of time.

How do I import individual frames from iMovie into iPhoto?

How do I import individual frames from iMovie into iPhoto? Or how do I export individual frames from iMovie into iPhoto? My final goal is to have a DVD of individual photos from a video I recently shot. Thanks

Here is one way to do it, although you will see there could be variations.
1) Open iMovie
2) Start a new project - name it Stills for iPhoto (or a name of your choice)
3) Go to your EVENT. Find the spot with the cursor that you want a photo of. Right-click (or control-click if you don't have a mouse) and select ADD STILL FRAME TO PROJECT.
4) The photo should be in the Project called Stills for iPhoto.
5) Right-click (control-click) on the photo and select REVEAL IN FINDER.
6)When the finder window opens, right-click and select COPY. Go to your Desktop or a folder of your choice and right-click PASTE
7) Drag the photo from your Desktop to iPhoto

How do i take the music from my ipod and transfer it permanently onto my PC's itunes?

How do i take the music from my ipod and transfer it permanently onto my PC's itunes?

If you were using a Mac you could use a program but AFAIK there is nothing similar yet for the PC.
However, you should have a backup of your music, correct? Just restore from that backup to your computer (and, if not, at least this will teach you the importance of always backing up your music purchases onto writable media like DVD).
