Why I can't export a single frame from my composition?

I try to export a single frame from the cavas but motion just did nothing when I click on export. Is there something wrong with my motion setup? I have trashed the motion's plist couple times already but still having the same issue. I can't even save the project. When click on save, motion did nothing, just like export. HELP!

I see that you are on an intel mac. Are you running the universal versions (Final Cut Studio 5.1 w/ Motion 2.1)?
See this article for troubleshooting steps: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302596.
When I am having major issues like this, I just start over from scratch. Do a complete erase and install with the OS discs, reinstall all applications and update everything with software update. I keep a separate partition just for film and video work that I can blow away any time (I don't store any important files on it).

  • How can I export a single frame as an image?

    Hi, I'd like to take single frames of video and use them in printed material. Its HDCAM, from a Sony EX1, edited on FCP 10.1.  How can I export them simply?
    Regards
    Phil

    Place the playhead on the frame you want as a still. Then in share window choose location Save Current Frame. You can then select options such as Jpg, PNG etc.

  • What's the simplest way to export a single frame from an animated gif as gif?

    i have an animated gif and wish to save a single frame as a non-animated gif.
    in the past i've been achieving this by deleting all the frames i don't wish to export and deleting them before exerting, this seems very clumsy though so i figure there's a more sensible solution in there somewhere, but where?

    Thanks, Bill! Actually version 9 looks a little clearer than that, as it has two bold clear white paddles to mark the edge of the work area.
    I was a little frustrated at first, because whatever I did, it still took a year and exported the entire video.
    Then:
    I caught sight of this teeny tiny box waiting for a tick from me, which said:
    Share Work area Bar Only
    We have lift-off 
    Thanks again. So much quicker than all that deleting ahnd hoping you don't accidentally say "yes" when prompted to save changes!

    WHY in the world does this seem sooooo difficult to do?

    Select the frame you want by using the scrubbing bar.

  • Can I copy a single frame from a movie clip and paste it over a bad blank frame in the same clip?

    I have two frames in my video clip that are solid green.  I would like to copy the last good frame and paste over the green video frames for the movie to play without the green frames popping up. Is thispossible?

    You can install an App called MPEG Streamclip or you can simply pull up the clip in full screen and take a screen shot using (command+shift+3) or using (command+shift+4) to click and drag to create a box around what you would like to take a snap shot of.

  • How can I extract a single frame from a DVD?

    I have a DVD that contains a movie of some old slides.  Is there a way I can extract one image from the DVD?

    pause and screenshot the video
    To capture a portion of the desktop, press Command-Shift-4. A cross-hair cursor will appear and you can click and drag to select the area you wish to capture. When you release the mouse button, the screen shot will be automatically saved as a PNG file on your desktop.
    There are screenshot tools in Imovie and others such as Final Cut Pro as well for higher resolution

  • HT200044 how to export a single frame in 10.0.6 - I cannot find option?

    With 10.0.5 There was an option on "share" to pick a single frame from the timeline and export the image as a JPEG or other formats.  I do not find this option on the new version.

    It works now, you need to go back to share and a new option is available that was created by the step you mentioned, listed as share frame one -- when selected, this allows for exporting the frame to the desktop!
    Thanks.

  • Can you send/export a still frame from an FCP sequence?

    Can you send/export a still frame from FCP as a picture to the desktop? Doesn't matter if it is a .jpeg, .tiff, . bitmap
    G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8) Dual 1.8

    serach the forum for any of the hundreds of posts detailing this process -
    my personal favorite is shift-N, apple-9, type name, drag to bin, batch export.
    The best thing about the batch export queue is you can set up a batch with the file format and destination folder and then keep adding new clips/stills to export.
    Hope this helps -

  • How can I export a freeze frame into a JPG or Tiff file?

  • 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.
    HTH,

  • Print single frame from iMovie

    How do I capture and print a single frame from an iMovie clip?

    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. You will see it highlighted in Blue in the Finder.
    Drag this clip from the Finder 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.

  • Exporting a single table from an acrobat created form

    I created a 5 page document InDesign (CS5.5), On one page I created a table that is 4 columns x 25 rows (with the first row being a header), using the table feature. I then exported to pdf and finalized the form in Acrobat 9.2 Pro. After running the Form Field Recognition the table was populated with the appropriate fields. I finalized the form and distributed. When the form is returned to me, I am trying to export JUST the information in this table to a spreadsheet (employee name, title, phone, email, ) and do not seem to be able to do so. Is this possible from a form? It doesn't seem like the pdf recognizes this table as a table any longer. It is a list of attendees, so I want to take this list from each returned form and combine them all into a master list.
    With the selection tool I have tried to select all the text > right click > Open Table in Spreadsheet and only the header rows appear. If I choose just the text and not the headers, then nothing appears. If I export the entire document then each cell of the table is its own column in excel, which makes sense since they all have different field names, but this doesn't make the spreadsheet useful. The only thing I have been able to do is select all the cells, copy into notepad, place a tab between each piece of information > save and open that document in excel. I am hoping there is an easier way. Basically all I am trying to do is have that table appear in excel as it does the pdf. I have searched several websites and have not been able to find anything that specifically deals with exporting a single table from a completed form.
    Perhaps I need to set the table field names differently? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    The "table" idea here is just a design idea, the identity as a table no longer exists in a PDF.  The feature you're trying to use is for tables which are part of the regular PDF, not form fields.
    You can export form data. All fields, but then process to exclude the ones you don't want.

  • 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'm staying at my house in Peru, South America. From my PC laptop I can see my neighbor's wifi service network, but I also have my mini iPad and I can not figure out why I can't get any wifi connection from my area. Is there a setting I need to do?

    I'm staying at my house in Peru, South America. From my PC laptop I can see my neighbor's wifi service network, but I also have my mini iPad and I can not figure out why I can't get any wifi connection from my area. Is there a setting I need to do?

    Yes, I did try to go on my settings>wifi and was waiting for any wifi signals to pick up, but nothing shows up. But on my PC I get a whole list of networks to choose from. Regarding my neighbor, I already have her password that is why I was able to get it on my PC, the problem is that the mini Ipad is not picking any signal neither can it locate me when I go to maps.
