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...

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!

  • 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.

  • Capturing still images using IDVD

    Hi
    Is it possible for me to play a personal DVD and capture still images from the movie that is being played, and then save the images, for either putting on a DVD/CD or printing them? if so how is this possible?
    ps i do not have IDVD at the moment but looking at getting it.
    Thanks in advance

    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...

  • Displaying Images along with Drill Drown Results

    I'm using MS access 2003 as my data base and CF as the web
    language. I cannot find a topic in reference to displaying Images
    along with Drill down results. My tables in access have a OLE
    object included however I am clueless as how i can display the
    images with my drill down results. I just cannot find a link that
    talked about this issue already. Does anyone have a link to this

    Sorry, no link, but I think you want to be looking at the
    <cfimage...>
    and|or the <cfcontent...> tags. One or both of these
    tags should allow
    you to deliver the image from the database to the client.
    You are doing this in a bit of an unusual, but not unheard of
    way. Most
    people just store the image file in a handy directory
    accessible to the
    web server and then store the name|URL to this image as text
    in the
    database.
    But it is definitly possible to server up binary image data
    as well.
    Though I have never heard of this in conjunction with MS
    Access and 'OLE
    objects'. I usually hear this discussed in relation to more
    enterprise
    database management systems and BLOB [Binary Large OBjects]
    data fields.

  • 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.

  • Image Capture Boot Image Fails with 0xc000000f

    I am trying to capture a Windows 8.1 Enterprise (with Update) x64 installation using WDS, but the Capture Image fails to load. I used the boot.wim from the Windows Server 2012 R2 (with Update) ISO to create a boot image in WDS and then a capture image from
    it. After I press F12 and the progress bar finishes the following message appears:
    This only happens when I boot the capture image - the original boot image that I imported in WDS boots normally. I also tried with the Windows 8.1 (with Update) boot.wim, but the issue reoccurs. This is a Hyper-V VM on Windows Server
    2012. Is this a problem with the recent update?

    Hi,
    We’re currently experiencing exactly the same issue. Also a fully-updated Server 2012R2 (with the recent KB2919355 update) machine.
    So far, I found two other posts with exactly the same issue:
    1) http://wp.secretnest.info/?p=1474
    2)
    http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/472581-wds-capture-image-winload-exe-corrupt-or-missing
    According to these posts it seems like the issue occurs after the first time a capture image based upon a Windows 8.1 or Server2012R2 boot.wim is created.
    What I’ve tried so far is removing the server role, deleting the WDS store, rebooting the server and start over with a Windows 7 boot.wim. The normal boot.wim starts ok, but the created capture image doesn’t.
    So the process of creating the capture boot image did ‘something’ in a way the new boot.wim differences from the old boot.wim. To find out what, I first mounted the new .wim file to see if winload.exe is actually there – it is both in
    system32 as well as systen32\boot. So my second guess was that the Windows Boot Manager cannot find the windows loader, because of an incorrect declaration of disks in the BCD store.
    I used BCDEDIT to show the differences between the working and non-working boot images:
    Windows Boot Loader
    identifier {1d214c07-6892-401c-a762-04647ad38560}

    So the ID for the osdevice is the same, and only the device is different, but mentioned correctly under Device options (as far as my knowledge goes in this subject). I hope there will be a solution anytime soon.

  • Help!  Question, how do I move an image along with the text

    New to InDesign and I'm creating a how-to brochure of sorts for my business and as I'm making edits/updates I realize I need to insert another picture at the beginning of the document.  I already have a bunch of other images throughout the document in specific places that need to remain with the text they are wrapped around.  If I try to insert a new picture at the beginning of the document and wrap the text, all of the text moves down throughout the document but the images do not.  That means none of the images are in the correct place anymore.  Is there a way to make sure if I insert a new picture or text at any place in the document all of the following images move with the text they are by?  I'm sure its a simple fix, I just can't figure it out.  Thanks.

    Look into anchored objects.

  • Moving images along with project to another drive

    I moved several projects (and their related events) to another drive, using Command-drag in the Project window.  I answered Yes to "Move Events?". And the video clips and music moved, but not the still images that were used in the project.  So, for example, if you open up that project, the timeline shows the thumbnail of the image, but on playback the image is not there. (Titles, music all moved OK).
    Is there a way to move or otherwise relink the images to the project?  Yikes!

    Yes. Use FILE/CONSOLIDATE MEDIA.

    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:

  • Best settings to capture still image of visitors?

    Trying to get an email of visitors to my door.
    Keep getting emails of photo with nobody there.
    What settings do you use with respect to delays etc to capture visitors while at your door?

    Since motion detection can be triggered by rapid changes in lighting condition, as well as by moving objects, you can set the area or areas of the video or image to be examined, and adjust the sensitivity of detection for each area. Then after setting the sensitivity area, you may set the motion detection trigger. You may play around with it's interval so that it won't be sending out blank images or video even though no one's there.
    Hope this helps.
