Capturing still image in imovie 7 event

Can you capture a still photo image and print picture with high resolution from an imovie event file

This is one of the things which appears to be currently missing from iMovie 10. The easiest workaround would be to take a screenshot of the viewer after setting it to full screen. See also:

Adding a title to a still image in iMovie for iPhone 4

I would like to add a title for a still image using iMovie for iPhone 4. Is this possible? I can't see an option for this and it seems simple enough. I can add titles on video clips, but not on still images. Any suggestions?

Thanks Joe, hopefully Apple adds this feature to iMovie soon.

TS4436 hi, when zooming in to capture still images, the image is really blurred and out of focus. is this a hardware issue and is there any solution for this?? or is my device faulty?

If you are using the iPhone camera zoom then remember that this is a digital zoom not an optical zoom. The zoomed in area will have fewer pixels and not appear as clear. The more you zoom the worse it gets. It's like cropping a picture after it has been taken.

Error when dragging and dropping still image into imovie

I am trying to place some still images into iMovie but when doing so I get the following error message :
"Import Problem
The still image file "file name" couldn't be copied as a JPEG image. The clip has been imported, but you won't be able to apply Ken Burns effects to it."
I really want to be able to apply the ken Burns effect. Can someone help with a fix to get around this problem.
thanks

Editing Still Images with iMovie and iPhoto

How do I turn "stills" created from imported film footage into jpegs? Basically I want to export still images from my videos into iphoto so I can edit and print the images - any ideas? When I drag the still images within iMovie 08 they won't drag to either the desktop or iphoto. HELP!

1) Position your cursor where you want to create the still.
2) Right-click (or control-click) and select "add still frame to project
3) Right-click on the still frame that has been added to your project and select "Reveal in Finder"
4) Right click on the jpeg file that has been revealed in the finder and select "copy"
5) Paste the jpeg file onto the desktop or within a folder.
6) Drag the jpeg file into iPhoto.

sure, with the usual screencapture shortcuts -3, -4, -4-space etc.
but you have to use VLC as player, due to DVDplayer.app prohibits any captures.
ps i do not have IDVD at the moment ..
your Mac came pre-installed with iDVD...

How do I capture still images with iSight?

Is that possible. Do I need software to do this?
Please help

Hello, Judith,
iSight needs software to do ANYTHING.
Several apps that you can use to capture still images are listed in the Some Applications you can use with iSight FAQ, starting with iChat AV.
The iChat AV menu command for a video snapshot is shown right at the top. You just need to have the Video Preview (My iSight) window active to do it.

I have read some forums but cannot obtain a still image from iMovie. How do I do this in iMOvie 11 9.04.

Hi
Can anyone tell me how to obtain a still image from iMovie 11 version 9.04. I have read some forums but cannot find the solution. I have also read the Apple help pages but the instruction does not fit the options available. I need to get a few stills from a movie to add the stills to the website. PLease any help?

Thank you Neil,I have a macbook pro with snow leopard v.10.6.8.included intell core 2 duo with a processor speed 2.5ghb with one processor and cores 2.
can i download onto my laptop an update by internet to my imovie 8.0.6 directly or as i have read, the system will not let me do that unless i have imovie 9.0.0 already which i do not have.
Perhaps i misunderstand you. Do you mean purchase a software copy from an apple Store and the can i directly upgrade.

Capturing still images along with stream

Is it possible to capture still images along with a video stream? We want to use the still images as "teasers" on the site to entice people to view the live video streams. I don't see an obvious way to do it. Maybe somebody's come up with a decent workaround? We can't be the only site needing this feature...
-Jason

Thanks, folks. I was pretty sure the software couldn't do it; I had hoped somebody might have come up with a quick-and-dirty hack around it. We're currently using Digital Rapids Stream to encode, and this is an option in the software. We're transitioning to FMLE, and I need to preserve this capability.
I've filed a feature request, but I'm sure that even if Adobe likes it, we won't see that feature for 12 months. So I'll have to come up with an interim solution. I'm looking at a number of options: grabbing stills from the F4V using ffmpeg (works great until the F4V gets to be more than a few minutes long, at which point ffmpeg is prohibitively slow), or dedicating a capture device to just grabbing still frames (obviously, that's a bit expensive).
If anybody out there has already solved this problem, I'd love to hear about it!

I cannot use still images in iMovie Trailers anymore

Hi all, I am hoping someone out there can help me.
I am using iMovie '11 Version 9.0.9 (1795)
I have a macbook prousing OS x Version 10.9.2
Processor 2.2 Ghz intel core i7
Last year I created a few "Trailers" using still images. All of a sudden I can no longer do this. I cannot click on the camera icon as it is 'greyed' out or unclickable. My photos stored in iPhoto.
I can no longer simply drag and drop my images into the 'Project' anymore.
You know when you go to drag an item on Mac and the little green plus ot appears to say essentially 'you can drag here'... well this appears when I try and drag into the 'Event Library', but then a warning/notification screen appears saying "The Files will not be imported. Photos cannot be imported to the Event Library. Try dragging directly to your Project" .... Well I would if it let me, but it doesn't.
Is anyone else having this problem or has experienced this and has a solution please.
This has wasted more hours than I care to give it, and is doing my head in.
Thank you
Panandine

I am bringing in 72dpi jpegs of some of my design work into iMovie
The dpi setting is of NO importance in iMovie/iDVD - only the actual image pixel size. See Preparing images for DVD slideshows at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/6.0/en/17.html for suggested sizes unless you plan on using a lot of Ken Burns Effect zooming.
When I am in iMovie and I drag a clip(still image) into the time line the image looks dull and blurry
The preview window in iMovie is just that - a preview window - for use in editing. It does NOT show the actual image quality of the clip.
Some of us like Photo to Movie or FotoMagico for turning still images into slideshow movies - both offer free trial modes - you might want to give one of them a try.

Capturing still image

How can I capture a still image from my video in order to export it to iPhoto?
Thought I had the question answered during an iMovie workshop, but I can't seem to make it work at home.

Thanks, I'll try that. In the meantime, I did have success using a roundabout technique described in:

How to make a podcast with one still image with iMovie 09

I'm using trying to transfer my podcasts to Vimeo. I've been using iWeb to create a person web site with video and podcasts. I have embedded Vimeo with "html snippet widge." I want to do the same thing with audio, however Vimeo only accept "video" files.
In my attempt to work around Vimeo's video issues, I had the idea to use iMovie 09 to create a "video file" using a single still image with my audio podcast play in the background. The single image would be consistent for the entire length of the audio. It seems simple...one still image file and one audio file.
All of my audio files are less than 45 minutes in length. The problem is that when I insert an image in iMovie I can't get it to last for more than 10:00 minutes of my podcast. I've had to drag the same image over several times, extend each image's length to 10:00 minutes until I have enough images to last the full length of the audio file.
I'm sure there's a simple way to do this with one image, used one time, and have the audio added.
Anyone understand my situation and have a good idea?

The most efficient method would be for you to do this in iMovie 6. You can download a version if you don't already have it on your computer. http://supportdownload.apple.com/download.info.apple.com/AppleSupport_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/Mac_OSX/downloads/061-3532.20070807.nq3ER/iMovieHD6.dmg
Put all your clips into a new iMovie project, in the order you wish them to play. Use the chapters tab and add chapter markers for each clip (except the first one; iDVD will add that one for you). Close iMovie.
Open an new iDVD project. Use the Media tab, then Movies, to locate your new iMovie. Drag and drop it onto the main iDVD window, taking care not to drop it into a drop zone. You should then see the title of your movie and the two options: Play Movie (which will play all the clips sequentiallly) and Scene Selection (which will take you to submenu(s) where you can select which clip to view).

How do I change the duration of a still image in iMovie to less than 0.1 second?

I am creating a movie using iMovie where I need the still images to be 0.05 seconds each or maybe even less., but whenever I select the still images and go to "Clip Adjustments" and under duration change 0.1s to 0.05s and select "Done", iMovie changes the duration back to 0.1s. I'm fairly new to iMovie and I've been messing around with it for quite a while now and still can't figure it out. Could someone help me?

for stop-motion there are perhaps better tools avail
istopmotion is a commercial app (starting at 40€ in the AppStore) offering additional tools for the animation master, such as onioning or tilt-shift.

Still images in iMovie for slideshow problems

I am bringing in 72dpi jpegs of some of my design work into iMovie. I am trying to make a slideshow and have the images change by using the music as a cue, new sound—new image, etc... I then want to export it as quicktime movie.
When I am in iMovie and I drag a clip(still image) into the time line the image looks dull and blurry, but when I go to media>show photo settings, it all the sudden looks great. Once I click out of there it goes back to looking like crap.
Any ideas? Do i just need a diff program for doing this?
