Creating stills (jpeg) from DV video

Hi there,
I have just finished creating my iMovie but now I would like to capture a still image (ie jpeg) from it. I intend to use this image in iWeb (seperate to the finished video) and also in other applications.
I understand that I can capture a still frame and export it as a Quicktime file but is there any way to convert it into a jpeg (or similar) so I can use it as a picture?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

How about a screen capture?
Command-Shift-4 will turn your cursor into "cross-hairs". Drag it across your image and a copy (.png format) will be made on your Desktop. Use Preview to convert the .png to .jpg format.

  • Is there a way to create still jpegs from video clips in iMovie?

    I shot some video on Christmas day and imported them to iMovie 9.
    I want to creat some jpegs from the video clips and print them as photos.
    Is there a way to create a jpeg from a video clip and save the file?
    Thanks for the info!

    Here is a method for extracting a still from iMovie 09.
    Are you working in iMovie and realize that certain frames in the movie would be perfect as photographs? Here is how to extract them...
    *To get a still frame from an Event*, right-click on the frame and select "Add Still Frame to Project". The still will be added to the end of the current project. Right click on the still frame in the project and select "Reveal in Finder". You will see a jpeg file that is highlighted. Drag this jpeg file in the finder to the iPhoto icon on your dock.
    *If you want a still from a project*, rather than an event, the process is similar, except you right-click on the frame and select "Add Freeze Frame", and it adds the freeze frame at the end of the clip rather than at the end of the project. Right-click/reveal in Finder, drag JPEG to iPhoto icon in dock.
    *If you are not using iPhoto*, and just want to save to your desktop, click Reveal in Finder as above, then COPY, then PASTE to desktop.
    Hint: If you do not want to clutter up your iMovie Project with stills at the end that you would have to go back and delete, then create a separate iMovie Project just for your stills, and follow the instructions for capturing stills from an Event.
    Note: If you do not have a right mouse button, then control-click will work instead of right-click.

  • How do I create still photos from a video in iMovie?

    I am looking to create a still photo from my video.  Is this possible?  Thanks for any help you can give.. 

    If you want to create a still frame from within iMovie, move your playhead to the frame you want a still image from and ctrl-click. You'll get a slightly different option to create a still frame depending on whether you do this in the project or event window.
    From the event window iMovie will add a still at the end of your project, from the project window it will add a still at the playhead.
    If you wanted the still on your desktop rather than in iMovie, select the still, ctrl click and choose reveal in finder, copy the image to your desktop and undo your actions in iMovie to remove the still from the project.

    How do I creat a still photo from a video in the new iMovie?

    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.

    iphoto 08, imovie 08. I have imported video from camera into both programs but can't find any options to choose a clip and convert it to jpg or something to create a still photo from the video. Is this possible?

    Stop the video at the desired point, press the Shift, Command, and 4 keys, drag the cursor so that the whole picture is highlighted, let go of the button, and open the PNG on the desktop.

  • Create still images from video files?

    from http://gadgetwise.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/04/16/5-new-photoshop-tips-for-photographers/ , "You can now preview video in Bridge and create still images from video files."
    I just installed the 5.4 Camera Raw Update.
    I can preview the AVI files from my Nikon D5000, but have not figured out how I might create a still image ( other than stopping the movie, and dragging to copy ) Have tried searching adobe, this forum, have not found more info ion this.

  • I have a MacBook Pro. How do I capture a still picture from a video in iMovie and print the still picture?

    I have a MacBook Pro. How do I capture a still picture from a video in iMovie and print the still picture?

    Click iMovie/About. If you have version 9.0.4 (iMovie 11) this will work. If you have an earlier version, this will also work, but there are also other ways.
    First, get an app called MPEG Streamclip, which is free. (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.

  • Still photos from a video to be used in another program

    I am new to iMovie. Is there a way to take a still clip from a video clip and make it into a jpeg or other photo to be used outside of iMovie? If so, what does it get named, and where would I find it to access it from a photo program?

    File menu->Save Frame As
    Choose JPEG, file name and file destination folder.

  • How can I export a still picture from a video clip?

    How can I export a still picture from a video clip?

    I'm able to export stills from iMovie without anything extra. I create a new project - call it Exports say. Now, in your event clip with the frames you want as stills, select a single frame and drag it into your project. Repeat for other stills you want to export. Then choose Share -> Export Using QuickTime.
    In the pop-up, choose Movie to Image Sequence. Click Options and choose the image format you want. Playing with the number of stills lets you pick how many stills you want from each second of video. Hit OK and the stills will be generated in the directory you choose.
    I've only done this with HD video. Don't know how well it works with lower res, interlaced vid.
    HTH,

    Hi, a client wants a still Jpeg from my timeline to use in the local newspaper. How do I get a good still image out of the Final Cut Pro timeline?
    Thanks

    Unfortunately, you're limited to the resolution of the source video.  Load the source clip in the viewer, (you can match frame back) park it at the appropriate frame, and go to file:  export:  quicktime conversion and choose still image.   You will be limited by the pixel dimensions of the source with a dpi of 72.

  • How to create a jpeg from frame?

    I have several short clips in hd from my digital camera. Can I create some jpegs from them within QT Pro? How? I know how to do it if I import the clips into iMovie 6, but since the footage is in hd, I thought maybe I could get a higher quality jpeg image if I can create it directly.

    Nevermind. Found answer here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/1956126#1956126

  • Print Out Still Frames From HD Video

    I am importing HD video into iMovie 08. I have made a few still frames from the video for printing. I could not export them to iPhoto or Photoshop Elements 2.
    How can I make HD video prints? Do I need new software?

    I have made a few still frames from the video for printing. I could not export them to iPhoto or Photoshop Elements 2.
    Select the "still frame" sequence and use the "Reveal in Finder" option to take you to the saved "still image" in the named_Project package. If you then double-click the image, it will open in Preview. Using Preview, you can print the image or save it to any of the available image formats in any "visible" location for later access by whatever graphic application you wish to use.

  • How do I capture a still photo from my video footage??

    Probably easy I know, but just wondering how to capture a still photo from my video footage. I pulled a particular clip into my viewer window and have found the still shot I want, what next??
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Cheers,

    Put the playhead over the frame in the timeline and choose Modify>Make Freeze Frame. It will appear in the Viewer window. Drag it into the timeline.
    If you want a photo for iPhoto etc. put the playhead over the frame and select File>Export>Using QuickTime Conversion.
    In the window that opens change the "Format" setting to Still Image from the dropdown menu.
