Can I make a still pic from a movie in iPhoto?

Hi Guys,
I've got a movie of my daughter blowing out her fifth birthday cake candles. Can I extract a still from this to put on her thank you cards?

Use iMovie or QuickTime Pro (if you have it.)

How can I make a still photo from imovie

How can I make a still photo from imovie?

Let's assume you have iMovie 11 (Version 9). (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 drag this photo into iPhoto.
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.

Can you make a continuous slideshow from multiple folders in iphoto?

can you make a continuous slideshow from multiple folders in iphoto?

Greetings,
Yes you can but you have to add the images from the various events or albums to a single slideshow.
Create your slideshow, then drag all the images you want in that slideshow to the slideshow on the left hand side.

When you go to play the slideshow you can click on settings and make sure the "repeat" option is checked.

Can you make a still photo from clip

How do I take a frame from imovie and make a still photo from it.
Thanks

AppleMan1958's Tip, as referred to by Matt, works fine for iMovie '09, but if you have iMovie '11 you will need to use a different procedure.
Unlike all earlier versions of iMovie, the latest version (IMovie '11 - 9.0.2) does not provide for the creation of stills from video for use outside the program. Certainly, you can create freeze frames in the project and add stills from the Events - but these are only available within the project.
The best solution is to use MPEG Streamclip - available from the developer (Squared 5) here:
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
In the Project or Event, right-click (or control-click) on the clip from which you wish to extract the still. From the pop-up menu select Reveal in Finder. Drag the clip to MPEG Streamclip. Move the playhead to the desired frame. Now, from the menu, select File>Export Frame. The following window will appear:
Choose your preferred Format (JPEG, TIFF or PNG) and other options if desired, then Save. The saved file can now be used in iPhoto or any image editing application, or printed as required.

Import still pics from video camera into iphoto with firewire?

I have a new panasonic pv-gs250. Although it is PC based, I was able to bypass their software and use imovie by attaching a 4 to 6 firewire to the dv port. It imported the movieclips with no problem. When I changed the mode on the camera from replay movie mode, to view pics mode (it can take stills on an sd card), it said that there was no cable connected. I tried using iphoto and importing from there, but it says there's not cable connected. There has to be a simple solution to this! Please help. thanks.
powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.0.x)

So, just to be sure, I used the USB cord and opened iphoto. Briefly, under sources, it said it was reading the Panasonic. I got up and when I came back, the Panasonic source was gone, and it said I couldn't close the window because it was importing files. Nothing new has shown up in the library yet. I also don't see anything counting down the loading, or importing. Do you think it's working, but just slow? Or is it having a hard time adjusting to the non-mac compatible thing, and it can't be done? thanks.

How do I save a still pic from a movie?

How do I save a jpeg from a movie... I saw about clicking it and then going to finder... but its a dv file not a jpeg

What I do sometimes is just take a screen shot of the video.
I use Grab, it's in the Utilities folder in the Application Folder
Go to Menu - Capture - selection - save it and drag it into iM.

Making a still clip from a movie

I have done this before.....but now I cannot figure out how to do it.
I want to make a still image from a movie clip. Now I know edit>create still frame. Tha creats the still frame as a still frame in quick time, and it cannot be opened as a regular picture. I have done it before (so it opens as a regular picture that you can crop and edit and print.........what am I forgetting??
THANKS
iMovie HD version 5.0.2

Just as an alternative to Catspaw's correct advice. There's also a free app you can download from Version Tracker called 'Capture Me'. It will take a screen capture jpg image of the frame you want to save. Even if you don't use it for your iMovie project it's a cool little app that has many uses.

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 make a PDF file from each folders with layers, where each page is a each folder?

How can I make a PDF file from each folders with layers, where each page is a each folder?

I found an answer to my own question. A work around of sorts.
Download Photoshop Elements 6 for Macintosh. With PSE6 I made a slide show with 550 images 1920x1200, without thumbs. I ran into one problem making the slide show. My images contained 4 images which had not ben created by Photoshop and could not be included in the slide show. Opening the images in Photoshop CS4 and re-saving them still did not make then acceptable. Not a big deal. I probably could have fixed the four images by stripping all EXIF data before opening them in Photoshop. BTW, PSE6 made the slide show in demo mode.
I hope the bug in Photoshop CS4 will be fixed in Photoshop CS5.

How can I make an audiobook purchased from another source show up in iTunes as an audiobook and not as music?

How can I make an audiobook purchased from another source show up in iTunes as an audiobook and not as music?
They chapters are mp3 files. Changing the genre to "audiobook" or "audiobooks" does help.
I am sure this question will come up a lot, since the book in question is "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," purchased from Pottermore.com.

The one thing I would add to the instructions above is that the "Media Kind" menu is on the "Option" pane in the "Get Info" Window. This procedure has allowed me not only to make imported audiobooks show up as audiobooks, but imported podcasts show up as podcasts.

not natively. edge exports html and javascript files, not video files, or frames.
however, you could use a third-party program that has a video screenshot function and make one that way.
