Cutting one Frame for a Still Picture

I have iMovie '08 and want to know if there is a way to select and copy one frame and make it a picture I can put on my web site. If so, how do I go about doing this? I have tried the control, select method and just get short clips, when I really just want the one frame for a still photograph.
One of the reasons I wanted this camera was because I thought I would be able to get some great "stop action" shots for my web site.

Hi there
In iMovie 08, one way you can do this is to scroll to the frame you want to use, ( in project or the clip browser, either place) then +*right-click the mouse*+ (control click), and choose *add still frame to project*
The frame you want will be added at the end (if it's in project window)
Then, to access this image, right-click (control click) it and choose +*reveal in finder*+. Then you can open it in preview (or other app) and save it Or from finder window: move it) to wherever you want to store it on the HD.
Hope that helps
Elizabeth

I would like to change my back ground color in one frame for a logo that i am using I am able to change it on the canvas but not on the timeline?

I would like to change my back ground color in one frame for a logo that i am using I am able to change it on the canvas but not on the timeline?

Are you using FCPX? It doesn't have a canvas. Do you really mean one frame, like 1/30th of a second? Add a custom generator underneath the logo. Make it whatever color you want. Make it however short you want.

How do i create an animation with one frame for each layer?

I have 76 sequential images that i've loaded as layers using bridge, then aligned using photoshop.
I would now like to create a 76 frame animation with one animation frame for each layer
(the layers are in sequential order).
is there an easy way to do this
or do i have to create 76 frames (can duplicate multiple to speed it up)
then set layer visibility for each frame?
thanks

Speedgrade CC only renders one frame for 30 minutes

Graded a simple, straight, 30 minute clip in Speedgrade CC. Render to Prores LT.
It went through the entire render process, but the movie has only a single frame for the entire 30 minutes.
This was nothing but a simple primary gain and contrast grade. Nothing else.

I wouldn't say Sg is a badly compromised program ... if one takes a car and tries to make it do the work of a truck, well ... one will be unhappy with the car, but is it really the fault of the makers of the car?
Speedgrade has it's glitches, and no one on the planet can tell you more about them than the guys that created it or those that are working it behind the scenes. But Speedgrade is designed to be a grading program ... not an NLE or an encoding program. It has those functions simply so that for some who say just want to do quick dailies probably doing quick & dirty grading of un-trimmed "clips" just to get something out for directors to see if what they shot will work. In my experience, for that use you need to know exactly how it needs setting, and have your presets stored.
The whole idea of this software is to be part of a group ... each program specialized into one set of problems, rather than each trying to be an equal Swiss-Army knife. And in use, it works quite well (for most of us most of the time) though there are a few glitches. Such as say, key-framed masks that at times can be problematic. Be that as it is, use the program for what it is designed for. Within that, it can be pretty awesome.

Timecode filter off one frame for speed reversed clips

Is this a known issue in Premiere Pro CC? I'm using version 7.2.1 (4).
The video clip in V1 has a reverse speed change applied, and the timecode filter is off by one frame. Or maybe the source overlay is off by one frame? Which should I trust?

Another clip in the sequence has a timecode filter error much greater. See attached screenshot. the timeline clip is sped up 694.28%, the source timecode overlay reports 09:25:35:14 and the timecode filter says 09:25:35:07.

How do I save a movie frame as a still picture?

I like to pause my HD movies and use grab to save a frame as a photo but this new version of quicktime puts a control bar inside the movie frame so my grabs include the control bar. It goes away when running a movie but comes back when in pause and you are trying to use grab. The old quicktime did not have this issue.
If not, is there an alternative way to save a frame?
Thanks

If not, is there an alternative way to save a frame?
Or, if you have MPEG Streamclip (free) installed and want some additional/limiterd editing options, simply open the movie in it, move playhead to the desired frame, and select the "Export Frame" File menu option to access additional options as depicted below:

If they look ok in pause they should be fine.

Function do work in only one frame

this function showing in all frame on stage....i want to it within a perticular frame
function callThumbs() {
    _root.createEmptyMovieClip("sliderBox",_root.getNextHighestDepth());
    sliderBox._x = _root.gallery_x=30;
    sliderBox._y = _root.gallery_y=30;
sliderBox.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK);
    var clipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
    var preloader = new Object();
    clipLoader.addListener(preloader);
    for (i=0; i<myImagesTotal; i++) {
        thumbURL = myImages[i].attributes.thumb_url;
        myThumb_mc = sliderBox.createEmptyMovieClip(i, sliderBox.getNextHighestDepth());
        myThumb_mc._x = _root.thumb_height*i;
        clipLoader.loadClip("thumbs/"+thumbURL,myThumb_mc);
        preloader.onLoadStart = function(target) {
            target.createTextField("my_txt",target.getNextHighestDepth(),0,0,1,1);
            target.my_txt.selectable = false;
        preloader.onLoadProgress = function(target, loadedBytes, totalBytes) {
            target.my_txt.text = Math.floor((loadedBytes/totalBytes)*100);
        preloader.onLoadComplete = function(target) {
            new Tween(target, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, 0, 100, .5, true);
            target.my_txt.removeTextField();
            target.onRelease = function() {
                callFullImage(this._name);
            target.onRollOver = function() {
                this._alpha = 100;
            target.onRollOut = function() {
                this._alpha = 100;

In what way do you mean the function is in all frames? If you write the function on a layer of its own and only provide one frame for it, it will only exist in that one frame.
If you mean that what the function creates lives throughout the timeline, then that is because you are creating content dynamically without securing it to an object that has a home in the timeline. Dynamically created content does not have a home in the timeline unless you make it a opart of something that has been manually affixed to the timeline, like a movieclip.
So what you might try is to manually add an empty movieclip in the frame where this code is (on a separate layer) and assign it an instance name, let's say you name it "container". Then you can change the following line from...
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("sliderBox",_root.getNextHighestDepth());
to
container.createEmptyMovieClip("sliderBox",container.getNextHighestDepth());
and that should end up retsricting the dynamically created movieclip to the frame where the container is. If there is any other content being added to the _root, that too should be retargeted to the container.

I'd like to print an 8x12 and cut it in half to make two 4x12 panorama type pictures. Is there any way to combine two pictures (each cropped to 4x12) into one frame so I can print out the 8x12 and trim it after printing?

I'd like to print an 8x12 and cut it in half to make two 4x12 panorama type pictures. Is there any way to combine two pictures (each cropped to 4x12) into one frame so I can print out the 8x12 and trim it after printing?

To clarify, I want to be able to make a flie I can take to a photo printing place (not for my own printer) so they can print it and I crop it. The place I used to print at used to print an 8"x12" for the same price as 8"x10" (now they may only do 8x10 and I would need to keep the ratio the same so it would be two 3.3"x10" pics on an 8x10"). Any help is veryappreciated!

Having read how one might be able to send a video that is too large, it seems that those videos and still pictures that are sent, well at least for me anyway, end up 90 degrees to the horizontal...how do i send a pic, or video that is the right way up???.

my question relates to the orientation of the videos, and still pictures that are sent via the ipad2...they always seem to be 90 degrees to the horizontal...can anyone suggest how to send them so that they will be the right way up???

IMovie 11 - set duration for still pictures in project

Hi,
I work with iMovie 11 since recently and I never had any problem with previous versions. Now I'm doing my first project in iM 11 and it just ignores my request for setting durations to still pictures.
When I set the duration in 'Project Properties' 'Apply to all photos' to 4 sec for example it will set the duration anything from 5 to 7 sec and no matter how often I change it will not react. This is very annoying. Is there anything I have overlooked?
What can I do? Thanks for help.

A transition borrows frames from the photos or video clips on either side of a transition. There is a general rule that a transition cannot be longer then half the length of the shortest adjacent clip or photo.
Also, check the setting for EDIT/TRANSITION OVERLAP.
I copied the following from iMovie Help...
Whether transitions are added to your project automatically or manually, you can set how much they overlap with the clips they’re adjacent to. This setting, which applies to all transitions in your project, affects the duration of your project.
Double-click any transition icon in your project. In the inspector that opens, choose an option from the Overlap pop-up menu:
All - Maintain Clip Range: The two clips are made to overlap by the length of the transition, and the transition is placed over the overlapping region. In this case, no additional content from clip ends is added. The total duration of your project decreases by the length of the transition.
Half - Maintain Project Duration: The transition is placed so that it spans the clips; one half of the transition overlaps each clip. In this case, additional content from the end of each clip is added to fill out the transition. The total duration of your project remains the same.

I want to make a video clip using two still pictures, placing side by side. I am able to make with only one at a time.

I want to make a video clip using two still pictures, placing side by side. I am able to make with only one at a time. Also, I am able to move the picture using Transform. But unsuccessfull in making with two stills in same clip. Thank you for reply.

If you want a Picture in Picture effect, stack one still on top of the other with a connect edit. Use Transform to scale and reposition the top image.

Can I copy one frame of a movie using iMove and save the frame as a file that can be printed like a picture?

Can I copy one frame of a movie using iMovie and save the frame as a file that can be printed like a picture? If so, how do I do that?

You could if you want a postcard sized print.
Printers need a lot more "dots" per inch and even a 1920X1080 video doesn't have enough "dots" to make more than a postcard.
Look at the "More Like This" links at the right side of this page for instructions.

Move the CTI one frame at a time short cut

Is there a short cut key to move CTI one frame at a time? I am an After Effects guy and very much used to move one frame at time using the shortcut keys. New to Animate CC... I haven't been able to figure out that feature in Animate CC. Any help for this newbie? Thank u. Cheers

That's how Photoshop's video editor works. You can adjust only one layer/frame at a time.

Missing audio for one frame

Okay, been using Premiere for well over a decade now and this problem has plagued me for years. I've never found time to actually make a comment about it until now; I just would find a work around.
This has been going on since 2006, when I started using 1394 to capture video after a Matrox card went crispy. Sometimes, seemingly at random, I lose one frame of audio on clips that I capture. My captures rarely exceed 60 seconds. I usually capture some head and tail black along with a slate if available, the issue could still be happening but I can't hear it since it's quiet anyway. Here's an example:
I zoomed in on the one channel to point it out; it spans both channels. If I bring this in to Audition, the space times out to exactly one frame (0.033 seconds). If I capture the same piece again, it's possible to have another frame drop but I've never had it at the same location twice. I've had this from Premiere CS2 to 4. I'm capturing off a Panasonic AJ-D250 directly to Premiere, no third party card.
Here's the first kicker: a completely separate system using a different model (still Pan. tho) deck in the same building has the same issue. I could bring this tape to that system and get similar results.
Kicker #2: I now have a completely new computer and have upgraded to 5.5. The above was captured with that system. The system also came with a different editor on it (a major one that I am not overly fond of and won't mention here) but that captures via 1394 without this issue.
I think I can rule some things out but the common items left are: 1394 capturing, using a Panasonic deck for playback and capturing into Premiere. I've noted posts around the Internet describing the same issue dated as early as 2004.
Thoughts or ideas on how to eliminate this problem?

So no other decks Firewire capable in my building besides the Panasonics (AJ-D250's and AJ-D455's) but I came across something worth posting.
I downloaded and have been using the DVIO.exe program and have used it for about two weeks without any audio drops.
I hope to have a 1394 device here sometime to try capturing off that.
