Can fcp turn a photo into a photo

A friend has a green screen for video work, I took the family by and took some pictures to make a christmas card out of and I got it all chromakeyed in fcp as I wanted. (no photo chromakey software)but I am stuck trying to figure out how to turn it into a jpeg. compressor gives photo options but it still remains with a .mov extension. I tried changing the extension to jpeg but iphoto still wont open it. I really dont want to buy a $100+ program to do this with .
thanks kurt

This question was asked before (using FCP for print purposes) and the original poster concluded that the output, while suitable for video, was wholly unacceptable when printed. He went and purchased a copy of Photoshop Elements (if I remember correctly). It did two things for him - 1, it did a much better and more nuanced job with the green screen removal and 2. it allowed him to keep his original photo at the full pixel dimensions (which was much greater than what FCP would accept).
fwiw, Photoshop is a pretty invaluable program in my tool box.
Good luck,

Can I turn greenscreen video into video with transparent background (instead of default black backgr

Can I turn greenscreen video into video with transparent background to overlay on another video in another program. probably export as avi. I know I can in after effects but comfortable with premiere. basically want to turn the greenscreen from a black to transparent background ppro cs6 windows

Harm is correct. It would be better to edit in the program where you keyed out the green. However, if you really must ...
DPX is one file per frame. While you may not be able to open it from Windows, it is only because Windwos has not been told to open them in Photoshop.
The whole point of the DPX file is to have a visually lossless storage of your frames that is designed to be used between applications (just what you want to do): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Picture_Exchange
However, if you prefer to use another option that you are more comfortable with, you can use PNG.
Or...
If you insist on a single video, use the Animation codec for Quicktime.
In any case, you need a picture format or video CODEC that can store an Alpha Channel.
Or.....
Export the video with the black and use a Luma key in the next application.
Or ...
Export the video with the black, and then export a video of just the alpha channel as a blabk and white image where black is transparent when used as a track matte, and then in the next application use the video of the alpha channel as a track matte.
Since you haven't said what the other application is or why you want to use it, we are having a little trouble offering a specific solution.

iTunes for Mac can't handle WMA files, iTunes for winsloth can.
if you have access to a PC, use iTunes there to convert the files. alternatively, you can get EasyWMA and use that app.
the files need to be unprotected in both cases.

Can I turn off photo booth's "flash"?

Anybody know? I have a lamp beside me and the lighting is much nicer without the FLASH. Can I turn it off?

Welcome to Apple Discussions, Kerwin Kaye
If the Photo Booth flash is bothering you and the tips above have not helped enough, you can try the ultimate solution. Cover all or part of your display screen with some opaque material such as cardboard or heavy cloth.

If I get a 3GS, can I turn my iPhone into an iPod Touch?

I bought the original iPhone when it came out and I want to buy a 3GS when they are available. When I do, I'd like to use my old iPhone to run Remote to control iTunes running on my music server. Can I turn off the phone part of the iPhone but still have Wifi and run apps like Remote?

Hi,
Yes, you can use the original iPhone without a service plan.
This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3406 provides more details.
Just leave the SIM that was last used with in the iPhone in it, so you can easily update and restore the iPhone.

Can you turn the photos in a slideshow into a video clip?

I have a sequence of 80 or so photos that play very fast and create an animation.
Can I select all the photos and merge them together into a video clip so I can apply video effects and do a fade in for more than 2 frames?

Colin, will doing the method you described allow me to apply video effects to the photos as a whole group?
That's correct. The nested sequence essentially functions as one clip, so you can edit it, transform it, add effects or transitions, or do any other operation that you'd do on a single clip unit. For example, if you need to move your series of photos somewhere else in your sequence, you'd have to select all of them; if they're nested, you just have to click one big target to move them.
I think Craig (shooternz) misunderstood your question, and assumed you just wanted to fade up the first photo, but you're talking about fading up over a longer duration, and multiple images. He had the right answer to a different question

How can I turn my video into a still photo to be copied for a book?

I accidentally took a 2 second video with my iPhone. I just wanted a still photo. I want to put the photo in a photo book. I know I can shorten, or trim, the viedo. But can I stop it entirely so it becomes a photo that I can print? How do I do that?

There's an App for that....
Go to the Apps store and search for Megaphone. There are a few Apps available that may or may not meet your needs. You will have to read the descriptions and reviews to decide - some of them are free.

TS3989 I can't turn on Photo Stream in my System Preferences

So I had to get a new password for my AppleId account and now I can't seem to keep PhotoStream turned on in my SystemPreferences. Whenever I log into iCloud and go through the set up steps and the PhotoStream box is checked, whenever I sign out I get a messgae saying that I will be turning PhotoStream off. My photos are not being synced between my devices and Mac any help would be appreciated.

.....whenever I sign out I get a messgae saying that I will be turning PhotoStream off....
Why do you keep signing out, of course this will turn photostream off, it will turn everything off.

Can't turn on Photo Stream in iCloud for PC

Hi,
My photo stream used to work fine. But after removing all the photos to separate folders in my computer, my new photos are no longer streaming to my PC. They appear in the photo stream on my other devices - iPhone5 and iPad Mini. It's just my PC that's missing the photos.
When I open the iCloud control panel, I cannot turn on the photos. That option is ghosted. I'm running on Windows 7 with iCloud 3.0. Any ideas on how I can fix this? All help is appreciated! Thanks!

HT4906 I can't turn on photo stream

I'm trying to set up photo streamming but the checkbox isn't available.

Greetings,
Questions:
What version of iPhoto are you running? (iPhoto > About iPhoto). You want iPhoto 9.2.3.
If you have iPhoto 9.2.3 Try:
Quit all open Applications
Go to Apple > System Preferences > iCloud > Sign Out
Click anywhere on your desktop (the background) and then go to the "Go" menu at the top of the computer screen, hold down the "option / alt" key on your keyboard and choose "Library".
Go to Application Support > iLifeAssetManagement and remove this folder to the trash
Go to Apple > Restart
Go to Apple > System Preferences > iCloud > Sign In
Enable Photo Stream
Hope that helps.
