Convert Movie to JPEG?

On the Canon SD 600, the slide bar position for movie is between photo and playback. As a result of not paying attention, I have taken several short movies where I wanted photos. Any way I can convert them the movies to a JPEG photo?
IMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

raytier:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can get a jpg copy of a frame with iMovie but it will not be suitable for printing. It's resolution will be about 720 x 528 x 72 dpi, suitable for viewing on the computer and use if a slideshow in iDVD.

Converting .mov to .jpeg

is there any way to convert a .mov frame to a stand-alone .jpeg? I had camera on wrong setting and took a movie instead of a still.

iPhoto has no tool to extract still frame from a video.
What is your iPhoto version and MacOS X version? Early iMovie versions (before iMovie 9) could extract a still frame from a video, but the current iPhoto and iMovie cannot do this.
I am using Aperture's video editor to extract single frames from a video, but it would be bit expensive to upgrade to Aperture just for still frames.
if you do not need full resolution images - just the full screen size, simply view your video in full screen mode, advance the video to the frame you want and take a screenshot with (Shift+Comm+3). This wills save a photo to the Desktop.
Or use the professional version if QuickTime 7, if you have it. File > Export will save a still frame in ".pct" format.
Otherwise you will need third party apps; I have seen MPEG Streamclip recommended for this, but have not used it myself.

Converting mov files to animated gifs

Basic question: how-to convert MOV files to animated GIF files. I have been searching for free/opensource/shareware to do this but so far no program I found could do this.
I'd love someone to answer, definitively, about free/opensource/shareware, but my hopes are down.
So, I ask what MAC program (even if I have to buy it) will let me convert MOV files to animated GIFs or MOV frames to seperate images (is that at all possible?).
Secondly, does anyone have experience with software that does this?
Thanks in advance.

Quicktime Pro 7 can take video (ie mov files) and export them as image sequences.
It can be purchased at the Apple store for $30.

I have a new Sony alpha 77ii. My PS version is 5.0. When I open the files in Bridge, they are .ARW files. How do I convert them to JPEG's so I can view and edit them?

You can use Adobe's free DNG converter to convert proprietary raws to the universal DNG raw format. Here are the links:
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 9.0
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Adobe DNG Converter 9.0
Converting to JPEG will be an extra step afterwards.

Can you edit a TIFF in iPhoto 09 without it converting to a JPEG?

I am wondering if I can edit photos in the TIFF format in iPhoto 09 without having them automatically converted to the JPEG format? I read that you should never edit a TIFF photo if you want to keep it in that format, because iPhoto will immediately convert it to a JPEG the minute you edit it without any warming.
I am in the process of scanning thousands of slides and I don't want to scan them as TIFFs only to have iPhoto convert them to JPEGs. I will do most of my editing with Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac, but just in case I ever edit a TIFF in iPhoto 09, I need to know if it will automatically be converted to a JPEG or not.
Today I tried editing a TIFF in iPhoto 09 and as far as I could tell, it didn't change the format to JPEG, even though I just read in the iPhoto 09 Missing Manual today that it WILL in fact change it. Am I missing something? I just assume if it still shows the TIFF extension, it has NOT been converted to a JPEG! Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Linda

Thanks Terence. What a relief. I still don't understand what the book I read was talking about then. Here's a quote from the section I was referring to in "iPhoto 08: The Missing Manual" book, p 91 (ISBN: 0596-516185):
"Note, however, that the instant you edit a TIFF-format photo (Chapter 7), iPhoto converts it into JPEG.
That's fine if you plan to order prints or a photo book (Chapter 11) from iPhoto, since JPEG files are required for those purposes. But if you took that once-in-a-lifetime, priceless shot as a TIFF file, don't do any editing in iPhoto-don't even rotate it- if you hope to maintain its perfect, pristine quality."
After my test results, I thought maybe this was something that had changed from iPhoto 08 to iPhoto 09, so I went to the bookstore yesterday and checked the same book for iPhoto 09, and there it was, the same quote! (on a different page, of course).
Anyway, thanks once again for your confirmation that my test was indeed correct. Linda

Applescript to convert PDF to JPEG using Preview?

I know there's an existing script available on the internet that converts PDFs to JPEGs (it's here: http://macscripter.net/viewtopic.php?id=25350) BUT, for whatever reason, the quality, even when set to 600dpi, is crap. I get better results simply opening the PDF in Preview then saving as JPEG... even a 150dpi JPG from Preview is higher quality than a 600dpi file from this script I found...
So, what I need help with is creating a applescript that converts PDF's to JPEGs using Preview (or whatever, as long as the quality of the JPEG is good). I have very little scripting experience so help is appreciate.
Ideas?
Thanks.

Decided to finish this up as an interesting exercise. Hope you find it useful.
One question for the Applescripters here. The Automator action run as a shell script seems to return a list of filename aliases but the return value while looking like a list didn't behave as a list. I managed to rip it apart to get to the filepaths and the script works but it seems really kludgey . So my question is given the return of the Automator run as a do shell script what is a more correct way to handle it?

          Convert pfd files to jpg images.
          The converted JPG files wil have the name of the original PDF files with the extension changed to JPG.
          The actual conversion uses the Automator action Render PDF Pages as Images.
          The user needs to create an Automator action with Render Pages as Images as the single action.
          Set the parameters for the conversion in the action.
          NOTE: this script assumes you're converting to jpg files If you select another output format in the action this script will
          need to be modified.

Hi Frank--
I tried the script you wrote and created the Automator workflow with the single action as requested, saved it to the desktop then selected it when your script's dialogue requested it. However, at that point your script game me the following error. Ideas? I did save the workflow as a workflow and I selected it directly, so I'm not sure why it thinks that the "workflow file does not exist" ? :
error "The workflow file does not exist. 255" number -2700 from «script» to item

Can't find geometry tab on Compressor 4.1.3 and need to convert mov file to 800x600 res

I just bought Compressor 4.1.3. because I was told it's the only way to convert movies exported from finalcutprox to custom resolution. I need 800x600 and I looked up a tutorial that says the custom res option is in the "geometry tab". However, that was for an earlier version and I cannot find that tab on this latest version. Can somebody please tell me how to convert files to custom res in Compressor 4.1.3.? It's very important, and I paid 50 dollars just to do it. I'd appreciate any advice people have.
Thanks so much!

Perhaps it would be best if you could post a screen shot of your original video. For example, open it in QT Player and hit command i. Take a screen shot of the image and the movie inspector.
All of the functions and their adjustments that used to be grouped in Geometry in previous versions of Compressor are now located in the integrated video pane of the Inspector.

When I import Nikon NEF photos from my D3S, it automatically converts them to jpeg. How can I fix this?

When I import RAW photos from my D3S, iPhoto automatically converts them to jpeg. I want to edit my images in a RAW format. I used to be able to save my images as a NEF in iPhoto and edit them in RAW on Photoshop. Can this be fixed, or do I have to find a new software to manage my RAW photos?

RAW files are just sensor dumps of the raw data and can't be viewed unless a jpeg version is created. The jpeg version of the photo is created by iPhoto for display purposes.
Make sure Photoshop is set as the external editor in iPhoto's Advanced preference pane and that RAW files are edited when using the external editor.
You do know that when editing a RAW photos with Photoshop from within iPhoto the edited version must be saved to the Desktop and imported into iPhoto as a new file.

HT5409 can i convert movies from iPad to mac laptop

Ihave download a movie from ipad but it will not play on my mac air laptop with quicktime installed..??

Ihave download a movie from ipad but it will not play on my mac air laptop with quicktime installed..??
Are you going to give us any additional clues as to what you are really asking here?
1) The "HT5409" in your subject title reference implies you are dealing with AVCHD content. If true, then how did you transfer them to your iPad and how did you transfer them from your iPad to your your MacBook Air platform? As the HT409 topic clearly stated, this can be very important. In addition, how are the files stored? For instance , have you extracted the MPEG-4 AVC content as transport streams or is the content still in the device recorded file form? Are you trying to edit the content or convert it to M4V, MP4, or MOV files directly?
2) The "can i convert movies from iPad to mac laptop" part of your subject title is confusing. Yes, AVCHD files can be converted to simpler MPEG-4 AVC content that is compatible with all current and most older Mac computers and Apple mobile devices in MOV, MP4, and/or M4V file formats. However, how you do this will depend on the current form of the data and the target settings you wish to employ to ensure compatibility with the various target device possibilities. Further, non-AVCHD content (e.g., HD iPad video recordings) can also be downconverted to simpler settings in a similar manner if needed or required if that is your questing.
3) Depending on your operating system, both AVCHD and MPEG-4 AVC content should already be compatible with QT X v10.2 and v10.3 players if properly transferred to your laptop from the recording device. And, even if improperly transferred, may still be converted to useable/compatible formats as long as the file itself has not been corrupted by your, as yet, unspecified workflow.
4) What does "will not play on my mac air laptop with quicktime installed" mean here? Are you trying to play an AVCHD movie in the QT 7 player or one of the QT X players? If the latter, which one? Are you getting any error message? If so, what are they? If not playing in your main user account on the computer, does it play useing a different account? Do the files play in other, third-party multimedia players?
Basically, your question is the equivalent of my saying my car won't start but failing to mention whether or not I am out of gas, my battery is dead, or that I have removoed the distributor cap, wires, or spark plugs from the engine. To properly solve the issue we need all possible information that you can provide describing exactly what you are doing, how you are doing it, what is not working as your expect it should, and what your goals are. In cases where you cannot answer such questions, it is often helpful to simply post/upload a sample "problem" file and let other users here examine it to determine the problem and/or suggest a specific solution for your particular system/configuration combination.

Aspect ratio problem while converting movies

i think the black screen problem is the aspect ratios because videora ipod converter converts movies ar 1.33:1 and if your movies ar isn't 1.33:1 so u will see a black screen.
we need a program that we can set ar manually.or we can only convert the movies which ar is 1.33:1 with videora ipod converter

I believe that at least a partial solution is to create all of this widescreen, then in DVDSP, you have to make it a menu and not a video track. Then for aspect ratio in SP, select 16:9 Pan Scan & Letterbox. Be aware that it will cut off the sides of the picture in 4:3. Then your following image you'd have to put bars on the sides of the 4:3 video in Final Cut pro. Hope this helps. Anybody else got any ideas, I'd be happy to be proved wrong.
