Add Freeze Frame not an available option

Using iMovie 10.0.5 I have imported video from my camera and want to take a number of freeze frames. With the bar over the frame I want to freeze, I Control/click and it gives me the menu, but Add Freeze Frame is greyed out and not available.  Any ideas

I have just struggled needlessly with this. Add Freeze Frame still appears in the menu if you ctrl-click a clip in the library, but it is greyed out and cannot be selected. It now also appears in the modify menu though. Drag the clip to the timeline, step the video to the frame you want, and then choose Modify > Add Freeze Frame, or option-F.

  • My Region (Thailand) is not an available option when registering my product

    Two years after purchasing my X220 in my home country of Thailand I am still being pestered to register my product by Lenovo Solution Centre.
    I try to do this but the first question is 'Which is your Region?'. Thailand (or SE Asia) is not an available option in the drop down box that accompanies this question. Which region should I mis-select?
    I am sure I registered my product when I bought, but cannot remember how. Does the fact that Solution Centre informs me bottom left of the date when my warranty expires confirm that I have previously registered by another means? If so I will use the facility to turn off the error message about product registration and forget about it!
    Solved!

  • Classic layout does not an available option to change on my mac mail 4.6 to fix my viewing to the old layout

    "Classic layou"t is not an available option to change on my mac mail 4.6 to fix my viewing to the old layout

    I just solved my problem based on the clues given by the 2 responses I recieved.  I realized that I do indeed have Snow Leapord and it was as easy as grabbing the margin bar at the base of the mail display screen and locking the crosshairs on the bar and dragging it up to the north if you will and the bottom pane was then once again revealed.  I guessing my kids mucked it up.  Thanks for the support.

  • Freeze Frame not working

    I'm using iMovie 10.0.3. When I try to do a freeze frame of a clip, it just creates a black clip.

    Did you place the playhead on the frame of the clip you wanted as a freeze frame and option F on the keyboard or freeze frame in the modify menu? If that gives you a black frame it could be a media problem or an iMovie problem. What's the parameters of the clip? You can open the clip in Quicktime and look in the Inspector window to see the properties.

  • Web Sharing not an available option in preference sharing

    I bought a Max Mini with OS X 10.6.4 server already installed. I dont have web sharing as an option to check when I go to system preferences>sharing. Is this an option that I need to install myself? I thought web sharing was installed by default? Any idea why web sharing is not available? I checked and /etc/apache2 is already installed.
    Any help or ideas are very much appreciated.

    I dont have web sharing as an option to check when I go to system preferences>sharing
    No, you won't.
    System Preferences -> Web Sharing is the personal web sharing option in Mac OS X client, not Server
    Since you're running Server now, things are a little different. You need to use Server Admin (in your /Applications) folder to manage the web service on your machine (as well as most other server-level services).

  • Add image icon not on widgets option pop up?

    using muse version 4.1

    Refer to the following post that explains the difference between a Composition and a Slideshow widget that should clear any confusion you may have in regards to the usage of these two widget types while also providing a reason why there isn't an "Add Images" option for a Composition widget.

  • Freeze frame during a transition?

    Is there any way to add a freeze frame during a cross dissolve transition? when i right-click, the "add freeze frame" option does not pop up. thank you

    Guess I don't think that is the answer? Basically I want the freeze frame to be right in the middle of the cross dissolve transition...where you can see bits of both of the video clips.

  • Can no longer add still frame

    In iMovie 09 I previously was able to select a movie clip and make a photo of it to put into the movie. Af first, it allowed me to do so by right clicking and selecting Add Still Frame to Project. Then, it recently switched to holding Control and clicking to bring up that option. I did that just yesterday! Now that option no longer appears. Why take this away? Does anyone know how to do this now?

    In the Event, it is still called Add Still Frame to Project and it adds it the end.
    In the Project, it is now called Add Freeze Frame, and it adds at the end of the current clip. This is useful if you have a clip that you want to freeze on the last frame and apply a Ken Burns Effect to extent the shot.

  • Freeze frame brightness

    Whenever I add a freeze frame of a particular shot of a movie, the generated freeze frame doesn't match the original. It's brighter. Anybody else seen this behavior? If necessary I could post some pics.
    The only thing to do is to adjust the brightness etc. of the freezed frame picture to match the original picture. This is sometimes not easy...
    Thanks for any help.
    John

    I just tried the same under a freshly created user account with the same result: The freeze frame created with right-click + "add freeze frame" looks brighter than the video it was created from!
    Could this be an error related to the gamma change introduced with snow leopard? Perhaps imovie mistakingly handles gamma different for video and still images.

  • Automatically add clear frames between keyframes?

    I have several movie symbols with a different bitmap in each keyframe. Since they move too fast to match the other symbols, I want to put clear frames between each keyframe. So far I have just been clicking each keyframe and hitting F5 several times but I thought there might be a better option.
    Is there a way to automatically add a number of frames between each keyframe?
    Thanks

    I think the OP doesn't mean empty keyframes (s)he just means to add frames. On my machine, at least, F5 just adds more frames, not an empty keyframe. So the flickering shouldn't be a concern here....
    If you are just getting into code tweening I would suggest looking into the TweenLite/Max classes from Green Sock instead of the built in ones.
    And Ned is correct, JSFL can automate many mundane tasks that you might perform in the authoring environment. I've only dabbled with it a bit, but it could easily do what you are asking. There might even already be some script out there that adds a certain number for frames at each keyframe in a layer or a timeline or some such.

  • How to remove a freeze frame in final cut pro x

    I've added a freeze frame using Add Freeze Frame, but I don't know how to remove it and go back to the normal timing.  I can remove it immediately with Undo, but I don't know how to do it later.  I've searched around and the only close answer is using Modify > Retime > Reset Speed, but that doesn't do anything.  I also don't see anything in the Inspector window that allows me to remove the freeze frame.  Thanks.
    Denise

    Hello Denise,
    Assuming your clip is on the Primary Storyline:
    Press Cmd+B to Blade the clip immediately before the frame in question.
    Select the first part of the clip and press Alt+Cmd+Up-Arrow to lift it from the Primary Storyline.
    Drag out the end to cover the duration of the clip you want to overwrite.
    Press Alt+Cmd+DOWN- arrow to overwrite to the Primary Storyline.
    I hope that's what you're looking for.

  • How do I create a freeze frame from footage and extend that for 5 seconds?

    I have a quicktime screen grab movie I've imported, and I want to hold on a certain frame that's at the very beginning of the clip, and then proceed with the movie when the voiceover (separate soundtrack) gets to a certain point.
    iMovie 11.
    Thanks
    doug

    Hi Doug,
    Position the playhead/skimmer (vertical red line) at the very beginning of the clip. The playhead should snap to the first frame, provided you have this turned on in the menu item View > Snap to Ends.
    Without moving the playhead, right-click (or Control-click) and select Add Freeze Frame from the pop-up menu. The default duration is 4 seconds (although this setting can be changed for individual projects in File > Project Properties). To adjust the duration in the timeline, double-click on the freeze frame to open the Inspector. In the Clip tab you can change the duration by typing in a new time.

  • 10.0.6 - Where is the freeze frame file located ?

    Hi there,
    I am on 10.0.6.
    When I did freeze frame, I need a copy of that frame in jpg. How do I know where is the freeze frame located physically ?
    (NB: When I did a "Reveal in Event Browser", it only brings me back to the original video in the Event Browser)
    Thanks

    I see, so I have to export and then goto save current frame ?
    So does that mean "add freeze frame" only creates a link to the frame & in so doing, Apple actually save so physical disk space ?

  • I want to add smooth transitions without freeze frames?

    I usually edit wedding videos with various short clips.  I want to be able to add default transitions to all of the clips at once.  When I do add transitions to all most clips have freeze frames. I've heard about handles, and having enough frames for the transitions but my clips are already as
    short as they need to be.  I do not want to have to crop each clip.  I want to have transitions run between clips not at the start of the 2nd clip.  I've used pinnacle before and the transitions are always in between clips.  So i am wondering if there is an easier way to set up transitions. 

    I would also suggest  change your shooting style if you intend to use transitions or have flexibiltiy for your edits.
    They are full clips. As shot. I only shoot what I need and I can't afford to crop from what I already have.
    In my opinion its impossible to shoot exactly the duration required  with the exception of animation / stop motion...  and be able to pace and structure an edit.
    Especially a Wedding video which is basically a documentary on the wing!
