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.

    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 an animated gif from edge animate?

    Can you make an animated gif from edge animate?

    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.

  • 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.
    -- http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iPhoto/9.0/en/pht6d9758b0.html
    When you go to play the slideshow you can click on settings and make sure the "repeat" option is checked.

  • How can I create a still photo from my video

    How can I create a still photo using my video.

    I'll assume you want to create a still to use outside FCPX, not a still frame within FCPX.  It's kinda hidden in the "share."  Go File/Share/Add Destination.  You want "Save Current Frame."  After you've created that destination, it'll be there for you in the future under Share.

    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?

  • Can I make a still photo?

    I'd like to take a picture of myself with my iSight that I can use as an avatar on various web forums. Can the iSight do this without Photo Booth?

    Hi Remmirath:
    You sure can!
    1. Open iChat AV.
    2. From the Buddies menu, choose Change My Picture.
    3. In the resulting Buddy Picture window, click the Camera button next to "Take Video Snapshot."
    4. Say "cheese" and voila—instant mug shot!

  • Can you make a mail merge from a page layout?  I can successfully do so from the word processing section of pages

    I am trying to mailmerge to a form and need to center certain sections on the same line.  Impossible to accomplish in the word processing portion because it wants to center the entire line.  I would like to use the page layout section but the "enter merge field" is gray.
    I have been able to accomplish the task using Filemaker but some of my constituents do not have Filemaker and I would like to make a template for them to use with numbers, excel,etc.

    Can't see what Layout mode could possibly offer that you don't have in Word Processing mode.
    Tried using centre tabs? You are using tabs, and not just hammering away at the spacebar?

  • Can you sync iTunes and photos from AppleTV back to iTunes? HD Crash

    I recently had a major HD crash on my MBP and I installed a new HD + Leopard. I have my iTunes library and photos on my AppleTV and I was hoping when I sync iTunes on my MBP with AppleTV that I can get my libary back into iTunes.
    Is this possible in some settings trick?
    (I'm currently trying DataRescueII to recover files that I hadn't backupped recently including recently purchased iTunes songs).

    Unfortunately it isn't that simple, don't try syncing now, leave it disconnected until you know what you want to do. There are ways to recover the date yourself which involve taking the unit apart or other potentially difficult routines. If you are at all in any doubt about doing anything like this and the data on the tv is valuable to you, you might consider taking it to a data recovery specialist that has experience with  equipment.

  • How can you make photobook using photos in the order you have them titled

    I spent a lot of time renaming photos ("a1" through "z9") to get them in chrono order when viewing/sorting them by title.  Yet, when I go in to create a photobook it doesn't put them in this new order by title, but rather uses the old naming system which puts them out of order.  Anyone have any ideas how to get photobook to look at the photos by "new" renamed title?

    I put them in chrono order after all all were imported into iPhoto by naming them appropriately.
    No, that puts them in alphabetifcal order, not chronological order.
    What other post?
    I started to repy to this post earlier and somehow aborted the post instead of adding it. 
    If you use the Batch Change ➙ Date option with 1 minuted between photos on the photos as they are sorted by title they will go into the book in that order.

  • Can you make a quicktime movie from a uTube video?

    I can watch a particular UTube video on my computers (iMac, Macbook), but not on my iOS devices ('not available on this platform').
    Is there a way to download this video in Quicktime, or .MOV etc. format?  I'd like to be able to share it with those who have iOS devices.
    Thanks for any help of advice!

    As I thought. Thank you for the reply Dan. I thought I'd ask in case I'd missed some hidden setting.
