Exporting an image from a video in final cut

Hey Everyone, I was wondering if there is a way of doing exporting a still image from a video in final cut.
Sometimes when I want to do this, I just take a printscreen of the video Full screened, but I know that's probably not the best quality.
Hope you can help me out, thanks in advance!

Thanks for stepping into the conversation. Your post and the solution you offer, keep doing it till it works, implies many other issues, none of which are easily debugged from where I sit.
You need to get a life. The guy has been waiting for days for you to answer his question. You didn't bother, so I simply offered him some verification that he's not the only one that has seen the problem. If you knew how to read (maybe you should read it again) you'll see that I was not offering him a solution. Grow up David.

It's not that I "didn't bother" to answer the poor guy, I've been making a living. Been shooting video and timelapse in Hells Canyon, on the Snake River, where my company has a series of hydroelectric plants. Fabulous weather, great scenery, and a sphincter puckering jetboat ride down and then back up two sets of Class 4 rapids. I got my priorities. I would not have traded the photography or the ride for the effort required to answer anyone's questions.
Thanks again for your contribution to the thread and your more recent character evaluation and time management suggestions. I'll keep them in mind in the same way I will try to recall Jim's Range Check admonition.

  • How to show each color channel image of a video on Final Cut Pro X

    Hi, Sir,
    How to show each color channel (R or G or B) image of a video on Final Cut Pro X? I found this feature is useful for the image quality editing, such as the noise reduction.

    Do you mean this?

  • Still image export is not exporting interlaced images from interlaced video

    I'm doing some quality tests and the video i have is 60i and i'd like to export stills from the 60i, but when i run it through quicktime conversion>export still image the resulting file has been deinterlaced. i've tried multiple formats and multiple frames, and it's always deinterlaced.
    to restate, the video is interlaced and i want stills that reflect exactly how the video is and fcp is deinterlacing the still exports.

    I usually export stills using the export queue, and I too have noticed that FCP6 now seems to de-interlace and resize the stills to square pixel dimensions automatically. I can't find any way to control or deactivate this option - anyone know?

  • What settings are best to export sharpened images from Photoshop to use in Final Cut?

    I need to give a professional photographer the correct dimensions to export her images from Photoshop for me to use in Final Cut. I told her:
    1080 x 1920, 300 dpi, and also to Convert Images to Apple RGB (Final Cut doesnt work well with Adobe RGB, I am told). Her images have alot of heavy sharpening on them--she is an artist--and when i import them into Final Cut, many of the lines that should be crisp are zig-zagged, and if I apply motion to them, they "shake."
    My problem is specific to images that have been highly sharpened in Photoshop; i have imported lots of professional images before with no problem. I am on deadline and hope someone out there will see this.

    You were right about trashing the finalcut plist. As well as a very specific set of directions I now have put together from what you and others have said elsewhere, and this is it, i hope it helps others with their Canon XHA1 and Final Cut Express HD:
    Trash the final cut preferences (plist) in your Home - LIbrary.
    go into the Canon XHA1 menu, make sure that you're not set to down-convert to DV.
    Get out of the menu. Shut the camera off,
    plug in the firewire cable to both the camera and computer,
    and turn the camera back to VCR mode.
    Open up Final Cut, and go to Easy Setup ,
    choose HDV- Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60
    This worked beautifully but took me nearly four hours to figure out, including researching the web and experimenting in FCE HD

  • Best way to export from Motion 2 into Final Cut Pro 5, working in DV?

    I am working in DV in Final Cut Pro 5, and I would like to get the best quality from anything I bring in from Motion 2 into Final Cut Pro 5, I keep hearing use the Animation codec. I would like to hear from the Panel of experts.
    Happy Thanksgiving,
    Sebastian

    The Best way is to round-trip from FCP. Or simply import the .motn file directly into FCP. If you require an alpha channel and for some reason don't want to bring the .motn file in, Animation with millions+ for the colors (+ is the alpha channel) will work, But if you just want straight DV, you should export a DV file.

  • Hi, i've made a video in final cut pro, the problem is that when i export it not the entire video is played, just the first 3 seconds

    i made a video in final cut pro x. The entire thing isn't that long, however when it comes to sharing it only the very first few seconds are playe.
    Thanks,
    Jamie

    see where the clip ends and then the timeline becomes black? when i add on an extra clip that line thing with the arrow does not move and if i try to export the video not all of it is played, just till that arrow.

  • How can I take a still image from a video?

    How can I take a still image from a video?

    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.

  • How do I export my images from iPhoto 9.4, to an external drive?

    How do I export my images from iPhoto 9.4, to an external drive?
    mainly to back them up without using time machine.
    Thanks

    Just the Images?
    File -> Export
    This User Tip
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
    To back up the Library: that is images, organisation, edit history etc etc
    Most Simple Back Up:
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
    Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

  • When I export from the timeline in Final Cut Pro HD, I get a general error message

    When I export from the timeline in Final Cut Pro HD, I get a general error message and the export quits. Any ideas on a fix?

    Also, if I remember correctly, Final Cut Pro HD was version 4.5. Is this what you are running?
    If so, what version of OSX and Quicktime are you running?

  • Raspberry Pi B+ capture a image from a video cam

    Hello,
    is there any way to capture a image from the video camera. I didn't find any media class for video. Nor did I find any Runtime.exec to use a native linux command.
    Did I overseen something?

    Hi Klaus,
    There a few ideas in design stage, but nothing solid enough to talk about. And actually it should not have been possible with older ME as it's specifically prohibited by the spec. I mean native methods in Java applications. Of course there may be other means to communicate with native applications, like files, sockets etc. But no direct calls
    The date for ME 8.1 GA (General Availability) release is not confirmed yet. But it should happen quite soon, stay tuned
    Regards.
