Capture individual frames for export to photoshop

Hi all:
New to i movie. I have not upgraded to 06 version. I would like to capture individual frames for export to photoshop for cleanup and output as a print. Can I do this in i movie? Do I need a particular version? Is it hard to do?
Thanks

Is it possible to place a video into a circle frame for export as interactive PDF?

I've been trying to figure out how to embed video files into a circle shape frame for export as interactive pdf. Every time I export the document as interactive PDF, the video frame reverts back to a rectangle shape. Basically what I'm attempting to do is embed a .gif like animation of a face (saved as mp4 because it's my understanding that PDF can't support gif files) in a circle frame that plays on document load when exported as interactive pdf. Any suggestions, bypasses, solutions would be much appreciated.

Correct! Good solution!
But you missed a couple steps in your directions:
(1) Make a rectangle filled with Paper color.
(2) Make a circle filled with None (this will be the mask for the movie).
(3) Move the circle over the rectangle. Select both and choose Object > Path > Make Compound Path. This creates a paper-color rectangle with a hole.
(4) Position the rectangle-with-hole object over the movie to position the mask.
(5) Use the Buttons and Forms panel to make that object into a button. Give it an action of playing the movie.
(6) Choose File > Export > PDF (Interactive).
It works because the button (which has interactivity) is atop another object which has interactivity (the movie).
Brilliant!

Set the compression quality for individual images for exporting a PDF?

When are export a PDF in ID, you are given an option to downsample and compress images. My problem is, I want to compress some images more than others. For example, a photo in the document could be downsampled much more than a png logo. Of course I could go and pre-downsample each image to the right size in photoshop, but that can get kind of involved. Is there a way I could at least exclude one particular image from the compression process?

Well, I didn't find any way to do this in ID, but I do believe its a useful thing to do. In Fact, by doing some careful image-dependent compression, I was able to reduce the size of my pdf by half and have the result still look better than a standard uniform compression. What I did was:
first place all the images in the ID file, size and position them as they should be
then, looking at the rulers, note the horizontal size, in inches, of each image in the document
begin with the first image, open it in photoshop. If you want this image at 200dpi, for example, multiply the horizontal size (from ID) by 200. Change the image size in photoshop to this number.
save the image in photoshop as a jpg and compress as appropriate for the image type
go back to ID, open up the links window, select the image you just changed, and click the update link button
do this with all your images
when you go to export a pdf, don't do any compression or downsampling on the images.. they're already optimised
So as you can see you have to have some idea of the ideal target DPI and compression of each image in your document, and it may require some experimenting. But if you know that some images can be lowered much more than others, I recommend this method. As I said, in my case I was able to reduce the file size by half without negatively effecting the pdf appearance.

From where are values of BEB CESS ECS captured in J1IIN for Export

Hi ,
In export sale,we dont mention BED CESS ECS condition type in pricing procedure.
While creating J1IIN we get excise details of BED CESS ECS in excise invoice.
From where does this value come.
parsad

Hi,
In the export pricing procedure, BED,ECS,SECess condition types are marked STATISTICAL and hence it is not accounted.
The values are captured for printing ARE-1 form only.

Fujifilm Tethered Capture Plug-in for Adobe Photoshop Lightroom

Hi!
Today Fujifilm shared "Tethered Capture Plug-in for Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom®". And they shared only 1 exe file, which i can't open on my Mac=). I try open it on PC, but it can't open without HS-V5 ( i needn't it, because it work only on Windows)
They write:
To use "Tethered Capture Plug-in for Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom®" you need to purchase "Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom® 5".
*For customers who don't have the HS-V5, "FUJIFILM Tether Shooting Plug-in" will be able to be purchased at Adobe Exchange site."
So...i already purchased Adobe CC for photographers. I try find it in Adobe Exchange, but doesn't find it.
May be somebody know anything?
Or may be somebody knows about tethering future with fujifilm X-T1 in new Lightroom 6?

The current situation seems to be this:
You are licensed to use the plug-in on a Mac or a Windows PC if you have purchased and installed H5-VS software. Since H5-VS is only a Windows product the download for the plug-in is a Windows EXE because when you run that EXE it'll check for the H5-VS software installation and if it doesn't see it, it'll stop, so to be successful in extracting the Mac plug-in you have to use a Windows PC and have purchased some Windows software.
You can examine the contents of the LRPLUG.EXE by renaming it to something like LRPLUGIN.EXE.ZIP and opening it with 7ZIP; however, the contents aren't something where you can just extract and run w/o the license check.
The only way forward seems to be to purchase the H5-VS software and install it on Windows and then download and run the LRPLUG.EXE on that same Windows computer to extract the plug-in installers, and then run those on the appropriate platform.
However, the H5-VS software doesn't appear to be for sale, anywhere, although the Fuji people do seem to hint they will have a solution at some point in the near future--perhaps it is only available in Japan ATM.
Most of this information was gleaned from the download page for the plugin, here:
Tethered Capture Plug-in for Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom® (Windows 8 / 8.1 / 7 SP1, Mac OS X 10.7-10.10) | Fujifilm Glob…
Which is the page you get to after agreeing to the terms and conditions of downloading the plug-in from this page:
Tethered Capture Plug-in for Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom® (Windows 8 / 8.1 / 7 SP1, Mac OS X 10.7-10.10) | Fujifilm Glob…
The bottom line is that while the tethering plug-in is for both a PC and a Mac the licensing dependency is on a Windows-only program so the plug-in installers are contained within a Windows-only program and the missing link is how to acquire the required H5-VS Windows program to satisfy the licensing requirement for the plug-in packaging utility so it'll extract the plug-in installers for each platform.
From what the pages, say, there is also going to be a version of the plug-in available on Adobe Exchange that won't require having H5-VS already, I guess, but that is not available, yet, either, so lots of announcements, and mostly a lack of follow-through..

Script for moving playhead to last frame, then exporting jpg?

Hi,
I have a lot of Flash files for which I need to export jpgs of their last frame. Could a kind soul out there guide me on how to write a command for moving the timeline's playhead to the last frame, then exporting a jpg (at Full Document Size, 72 dpi, 96% quality)?
A million thanks,
Kevin

private function snapshotLastFrame():void
gotoAndStop( this.totalFrames );
_bitmapData                         = new BitmapData( stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight );
_bitmap                              = new Bitmap( _bitmapData );
_bitmapData.draw ( stage );
saveImageJPG( _bitmapData, "test.jpg", 96 );
public function saveImageJPG( bitmapData:BitmapData, fileName:String, quality:int ):void {
            this.jpgEncoder = new JPGEncoder( quality );
            this.fileReference = new FileReference();
            this.fileReference.save( this.jpgEncoder.encode( bitmapData ), fileName + ".jpg" );
Keep in mind that you need a few extra libraries to be able to create a jpeg.. (AS3CoreLib) can be found at googleCode.

Use preloader for individual frames?

I have followed this video on how to build a preloader and I was able to incorporate it into my own site. Now, I'm wondering now how to build a preloader for individual frames. For example, I have a link called "Videos" that, when clicked, jumps to frame 10. This is where I have all the videos visible in the main content area of my site. However, I'd like to add a preloader so that as the videos load, visitors can see the progress. Is there a way I can reuse the preloader.swf file I have already built for individual frames of my main site?
Here is the code for the preloader.swf file which consists of a single dynamic text field located in the center called preloaderTxt:
var l:Loader = new Loader();
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loop);
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done);
l.load(new URLRequest("WebsiteTest.swf"));
function loop(e:ProgressEvent):void
    var perc:Number = e.bytesLoaded / e.bytesTotal;
    preloaderTxt.text = Math.ceil(perc*100).toString() + "%";
function done(e:Event):void
    removeChildAt(0);
    preloaderTxt = null;
    addChild(l);

(1)Java class name should begin with a capital letter. See: http://java.sun.com/docs/codeconv/
        JButton save = new JButton("Save");
        JButton save2 = new JButton("Save and add another");
        // ... etc. ...(2)Don't redeclare class members in a method as its local variable. Your class members become eternally null, a hellish null.

Does Photoshop CS6 Extended allows users to crop individual frames?

Does Photoshop CS6 Extended allows users to crop individual frames? As in just one segment of the video? If so, how is it done?

Hi there
The Crop tool in Photoshop functions by cropping the entire image area - however, you can use a Layer Mask to edit an indiviual video or animation frame, as shown below.
1. Start by importing your video or animation in Photoshop, making sure to convert frames to layers (File > Import > Video Frames To Layers...). Go to your layers panel and select the frame you'd like to crop. Turn on the visibility of the layer by clicking on the small check box to the left of the layer icon - it should turn into an eye as shown below. Then, click the "Add vector mask" icon highlighted below.
2. Next, select the Rectangular Marquee tool (or use an alternative selection method if you want a different shape) and draw a seelction around the part of your video/animation you want to keep.
3. Go to Select > Inverse to select the inverse of the area you just selected.
4. Grab the Paint Bucket Tool and fill the selected area with pure Black (#000000). This will effectively "crop" the layer you have selected. You can see below that the layer underneath my selected layer is now showing through where I filled the selection with black.
The great thing about using a mask is that you can edit it or delete it altogether if need be. Note though that the area you mask will show up as transparent pixels in your Timeline panel - you can see the layer I edited on the far right of my timeline in the screenshot above.
Please post again if you need additional help, or if what I demonstrated is not what you were trying to do.
Cheers!

Exporting individual frames to iphoto

Is it possible to export an individual frame from imovie to iphoto as a single photograph? How do you do it?

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.

Capture one frame to jpg image

I have some old 8mm film converted to *.mov that I am trying to put together as a family film project. There are numerous people that I have long since forgotten (40+ yrs). I would like to capture some to these frames to a jpg type of image so that I can send it to other family members for identification.. If this is possible with PP CS4... how?
Thank you for your time
Ralph

In PrPro, prior to CS4, it was under File>Export>Still. With CS4, it moved to AME, as did everything else. However, a still frame Export was even worse. In CS4.1, IIRC, that process was simplified, though there was one loss - in the old days, one had a checkbox for "Import into Project," but that choice is now gone. About half of the time, I do want to Import the still into the current Project, and half the time do not. I still would like the option to decide for myself.
As for the JPEG aspect, one must first realize that PrPro is not an image editing program, and is first a video-editing program. The JPEG format requires compression, and that is why the choices are limited - no JPEG (unless it was recently added), no PSD, no PNG. You get TGA, TIFF, BMP and GIF (surprised about this one myself). Between you and me, I would like to see Adobe add both .PSD and also JPEG, but can live without those, as I have PS and can do anything that I want and also automate the process with Actions and the batch processing in PS.
Also, though not a "big button" fan, I'd love to see a one-touch solution to individual Frame Export, with the option to either Import into my Project, or not - at my discretion - plus add JPEG and PSD. Who knows, maybe CS5?
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - even with older versions, it was not a one-click does it all operation, but now it's a step, or two, more. In early CS4 versions, it was a real PITA, so things have gotten better.

Hi,
I have a jpeg movie file 60 mins long and a text file tell me five time-lines for breaking the movie. For example, break the movie at 10:21, 16:05�
The final output should be five small jpeg movie files. Each file contains a 90 sec (30 sec before the break time and 60 sec after the break time).
Do you know any java library (jar) contain the library that can help me on programming this? Any existing source code? Any SDK for a movie editor can do that?
Please help.
Thanks
Kenny

How can I capture a frame with a dpi of 300 or more?

I took a HD video and edited it in Premiere Elements 12. I want to lift out some frames to submit as still shots for a magazine article. They need resolution of 300 dpi or higher. The only function I found in Premiere Elements was "freeze frame" which saves/exports a frame as a .bmp with a resolution of 72. Anyone know how to save it with higher resolution? (FYI, I also have Photoshop Elements 12.)

One way....
1. Video on Video Track 1 of your HD project, with Timeline Indicator on frame for Freeze Frame
a. Tools Menu/Freeze Frame.
b. In Freeze Frame dialog, check mark next to "Edit in Photoshop Elements after inserting" and check mark next to "Insert in movie".
c. Hit "Insert in movie" button.
d. When Photoshop Elements 12 opens, the Image Menu/Resize/Image Size.
e. In the Image Size dialog, change the Resolution to 300 pixels per inch
f. File Menu/Save As to jpg file.
To get back to Premiere Elements 12, in Photoshop Elements 12 Editor, File Menu/Exit.
Does that work for you?

Error Importing Video Frames to Layers in Photoshop CC

I'm trying to import video frames to layers in Photoshop CC, the most recent edition. I'm using a Mac OS X Maverick version 10.9.2.
The video I'm working with is a .mov file with the following codecs: Timecode, Linear PCM, CEA 708, Apple ProRes 422 (HQ).
When I import frames to layers, the window is black. *Note: The audio works here, picture does not appear.
When I select OK, the layers are transparent.
This issue is specific to Photoshop CC. I tested the same .mov file with the same codecs in the most recent edition of Photoshop CS6, and import video frames to layers worked successfully.
I also tested the same .mov file using another user's computer and their edition of Photoshop CC, and experienced the same issue - black screen, transparent frames.
This leads me to believe it is an issue specific to the Photoshop CC software.
Is there a fix for this, or do you have recommendations on ways to convert the .mov file so it's viewable in Photoshop CC?
Thank you for your help.
