Can't create still image

I just upgraded to Quick Time Pro. I 'm trying to create still images from a movie clip, but the EXPORT option is BLANK. Why????

There should be three options for still images. First, you could use Export, then use the Export drop-down menu to choose "Movie to Picture" if you only want single images. For a sequence of all frames in the movie you should choose "Movie to Image Sequence". If you don't want all frames then use the shift key and the arrow keys to select a range of frames and then use Copy to put the selection on the clipboard. Open a new QT document and use paste, then export the image sequence. Finally, you could use Copy to put the frame showing in a movie window onto the Clipboard, where you could use a graphic editor and import the frame for saving in your choice of formats. If none of these options are available then you may have to re-install QT as these been the standard ways to save images in QT Player going back several versions.

Can't import still images into a project or create a podcast track

I'd be grateful if anyone can explain why I can't import still images onto a track like you can easily do in garage band - in garage band you simply create a podcast track, then drag your photos onto it. However in logic, when I open the media browser i can get a photo folder up but it will not allow me to even look at the contents.
Also, why is it that the manual for logic express has nothing about how to import a movie to produce a movie score - and yet garage band can even do this.
Thanks for any advice.

Have you tried "Working with Video" section of the manual? It's somewhere close to the end...
Logic works with audio, not images. That's why you can't import a photo, because media browser is used to locate audio files, mostly. And sometimes video.
I guess it works this way, you create a podcast with Logic, bounce it to mp3 or another compressed format. Then import it into GB and insert a photo.

Creating Still Images/High quality JPG's...please help

We are in desparate need of creating quality still images from captured video. Basically, we have footage in mini DV format that we import into Final Cut HD using a Sony Clamshell deck. What is the best way to make high quality still images?
We tried it this way....Export Quicktime as Still image...and it just looks bad, Even after De-interlacing it within Photoshop. We need it to look exactly like it does if we simply press pause on the deck or pause within Final Cut.

When you start with DV material, the highest res you can for a still image capture is 720x480 (non-square) or the equivalent of a really bad quality cheepo still camera. (~640x480 square pixels)
To avoid the need to deinterlace, (the horrors of which are described below) find sections in your masterpiece that have VERY LITTLE motion, i.e. everyone/thing standing/existing absolutely still with the camera locked down on a tripod. These sections will yield the very best possible still images.
If you have motion the frame, the still images will exhibit 'tearing' which comes from the two fields of video being recorded ~1/60 second apart. The second field shows elements displaced from the first field - hence a kind of internal image shifting going on. The only real way to deal with these kind of images is to deinterlace them - that is - decide which field you are going to keep and throw away the other.
When you have deinterlaced the image, you have in effect reduced it from a 720x480 image to a 720x240 image. The image pixel count REMAINS 720x480 but with half the vertical information as the remaining lines are doubled or interpolated to build back to 480 lines.
Confused yet? I hope not...
Still, if you know you'll want stills from a project, it's better to carry around a small digital still camera, you'll get better results. Otherwise, plan on pretty small prints.
Good luck.

Creating Still images

I would like to creat still images in iMovie while the movie is playing. I know that I could do this in previous versions but now I can't do it using the shift-command - s keys. It just beeps when I try it. Is there a setting I need to adjsut to be able to do this? Right now I have to go back to the beginning of the clip after it makes a still image. this wastes time.
Thanks in advance for any help.

-matter of fact it's never done that.
I was able to make still shots while the clip was playing in a previous version of iMovie. Maybe iMovie 3 or 4? Last year when I did my daughters ballet recital I was able to make still shots while the clip was playing.
-what exactly do you mean when you say that you have to go back to the beginning of the clip?
After I get done making the still shot, I have to click on the clip again and it takes me back to the beginning of that clip.
Thanks for your help!

Creating Still Images in FCP

In FCP, How do I create still images and then save them in a high quality jpg format that can be used for websites and promotion?

To create a still image from video in FCP, place the Timeline playhead on the frame you want to use, then go to File->Export->Using QuickTime Conversion. Once the export window opens, choose Still Image from the FORMAT menu and then choose the file type from the OPTIONS menu. Give the image file a name, navigate to the location you want to save it and hit SAVE.

Create still images from video files?

from http://gadgetwise.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/04/16/5-new-photoshop-tips-for-photographers/ , "You can now preview video in Bridge and create still images from video files."
I just installed the 5.4 Camera Raw Update.
I can preview the AVI files from my Nikon D5000, but have not figured out how I might create a still image ( other than stopping the movie, and dragging to copy ) Have tried searching adobe, this forum, have not found more info ion this.

Stop the video at the desired point, press the Shift, Command, and 4 keys, drag the cursor so that the whole picture is highlighted, let go of the button, and open the PNG on the desktop.

How can I create an image gallery with "next" buttons?

So I am almost done with my portfolio site (YES!)..now I just need the actual content (the images). My site is written in AS3.
I've watched many tutorials on how to create an image gallery (auto scrolling ones, scrolling ones that require mouse hover, etc etc), but those aren't what I am looking for.
I want a gallery that looks exactly like this one here:
http://jalbum.net/res/help/integrating-tutorial.html
I have a lot of work to display in my porfolio so there must be arrows at the end of the thumbnails so I can add more stuff. So I am just stumped on how to make the image gallery work with the ability to scroll for more photos with the click of the arrows.
Any ideas? Thank you.

Watching tutorials and learning from them are two different things. If you have learned from them you should be able to use what you have learned to devise a gallery such as the one you link to. If you have learned from them and cannot use what you learned, then you probably need to find/learn more.
If you study the design you linked you should be able to reason out what elements you need to devise... it is not overly complicated.
For the large picture you could have a Loader into which you load whatever image is selected from the thumnails. To get a brief transition you could just set the alpha of the Loader to 0 when an image change is occuring and gradually fade it in after the image has loaded.
The greatest challenge you are likely to face is in getting the thumbnails to advance back and forth depending on which is selected. All of the thumbs would be placed in a container (movieclip or sprite) and that would be masked so that only a portion of them is visible.
All thumbs that are not selected have their alpha property set to some value less than 1. Selecting one calls for the file it associates with to be loaded into the Loader. If the choice happens to lie off screen, then you need to move the movieclip that contains all of the thumbs some set value in the right (+x) or left (-x) direction.
If you want the thumbnails to wrap infinitely then when one leave the thumbnails area for movement in a direction, you need to take that thumb and relocate it to the other end of the thumbs in the container.

Can you create jpeg images from footage in a sequence?

Hi,
I want to save images I created as freeze frames from a video I shot; is that possible? If so, how is this done?
Many thanks.

Hi,
Park the playhead in front of you desired frame then go to Export>Using QT conversion>change format to Still Image >then click the option button and choose JPEG.

How can I create system image of Win-7 only on drive with Win-7 (NTFS) and Win-ME (FAT-32) system partitions

I am trying to create a Windows 7 Image Backup on my Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit PC.
I have two bootable partitions on my hard drive. One is NTFS and contains the Win-7 system files.
The other is FAT-32 and contains a Windows-ME system.
When it comes to selecting the drives (partitions) for backing up, both are marked as System, and both are selected. Both are also "greyed out) - I cannot uncheck them.
Furthermore, the Windows-7 imaging utility supplied with Windows-7 returns an error saying it cannot image the disk because it contains a partition that is not NTFS.
How can I select and image ONLY the NTFS partition that contains the Win-7 system? That is what I want to do.

Any of the products listed below will backup the contents (all partitions) of your disk drive. The only limitation is that you must install the backup software in Windows 7. You will perform a "Disk and Partition" backup by manually selecting
the disk and all partitions (NTFS / FAT32) and the Master boot Record (MBR) on the drive. The destination / where the Image Backup will be stored should be an external USB drive. With a "Disk and Partition" backup you can restore any partition
to your existing drive or the entire backup (to the same disk drive or a new drive).

Can iDVD create disc images from VIDEO_TS folder, and burn them?

That first question is pretty self-explanatory.
Background is this: I've downloaded some video folders/files from forum/torrent trading websites. When finished, I have a VIDEO_TS folder, often an EXTRAS_TS folder as well. A while back, I downloaded the app DVD IMAGER to create a disc image. Yesterday that stopped working effectively, so maybe I need to re-download, but I was wondering if there's just a better way? I also downloaded the app called BURN, but can't see yet how that creates disc images.
Once I create that disc image, I need to burn it, and I was using Disk Utility for that. I'm really looking for some help and advice on the best way to perform these processes.
Thank you, and let me know if I need to post in another forum.

Additionally, do you have experience w/ DVD Imager?
Nope. Like I said, Roxio's Toast Titanium is the top application (and is probably the one that most experienced people use).

Can't stop still images from scaling in the sequence.********

I've tried everything at this point.
Baffled.
If anyone can help me figure this out.
please do.
I cannot get any image to come into the sequence without scaling down to 28%.
images are 4368 x 2912 and being brought into a sequence that is 1920x816. (cinemascope)
Help!

FCP will automatically scale your images down to fit the dimensions of your sequence.
You could either scale the images to sequence size before importing, (you could export using QT conversion to a form of still image, but probably better off doing it in Photoshop or wherever the images originated from)
If you want to do any pan/scan with the images, you'd be best served to resize them to slightly larger than your sequence settings, so you've got room to move them around and scale them a bit.
Or you could change your sequence settings to match the image dimensions (but that would affect what I'm guessing your intended output is to be)
Hope that helps,

PSE 11/Win 7: Can I create an image of the front of our house all in brick?

PSE 11 on Win 7.
We have about two feet of brick at the bottom of our garage.
We are thinking of getting the whole front bricked with that same brick.
Is there a way I can create an image of our house showing that change?
I was looking at Fill Layer. There is some Pattern things available there.
But perhaps there is a better way to approach this.
Thanks for any thoughts.

Perhaps the photos app is too basic. I can’t confirm as I have an Android tablet. If you buy a $5 app, iPhoto for iOS5 you also get lots off cool tools and can create journals which make instant web pages. You can share with friends and family simply by using the copy link button and mailing them the URL.
Adobe also has a great Photoshop Touch app which you can sync with tablets via the Adobe Creative Cloud. Unfortunately the new PSDX files with layers can only be worked on subsequently in CS5 and CS6 as there is presently no plug-in for Elements. But the tools make it a great stand alone app if you want to do editing on the iPad.
There’s also the Snapseed app from Nik Software and Adobes consumer app Photoshop Express - so it’s a fast changing environment (Apple will soon launch iOS6) with hardware limitations. Not to be rushed into.
There is a hack/workaround if you have the CCK. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit to get files directly on to your iPad if you want to avoid the hassle of using iTunes or the cloud.
You first plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your video/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., IMG_1234.jpg; 12345678.jpg; MVI_1234.mov; my-movie.mov).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import.
You will probably see a message like unsupported USB device but you can ignore it and import your photos.
Gotcha
The videos will show up in the photos section on the iPad but a great trick is to just play a movie from the connected flash drive rather than taking up space copying a large file to your iPad.

Any way to create still image of menu

Is there a way in dvd sp to create a still image of a menu, complete with drop zones, buttons etc? I need something usable at full resolution, not like a screen shot or anything.
Something like the save still feature on a video clip but for a menu?

So I took a screenshot using capture me. The resolution of the image on the dispay ends up being 640 x 480, 4:3 aspect ratio.
If I import that into dvd sp, it doesnt line up quite right, but almost right. its a little thin side to side.
If I resize it in photoshop to 720 x 480, for some reason when I bring it back into dvd sp it doesnt unstretch it, but displays it as a letterbox. The pct file says its using square pixels in photosop so I must be missing something as to why it doesnt resolve back properly. Any ideas?
