Exporting Frames as JPGs?

Hey Guys, I'm trying to export a few frames as JPGs from iMovie HD. Is this possible? It seems like such a simple function, yet i see it no where.
any help or advice?
Thanks!

.. just if the OP happened to post in the wrong section of this board.. and is using iM08.. there, indeed, is no 'save freeze', but the official workaround is:
place playhead at wanted position
ctrl-click 'Add Still to Project'
select new clip in Project window..
ctrl-click 'Reveal in Finder'..
tadaah.. there it is, COPY jpeg to other location..
you see, Sue, I'm still alive and busy..

Save movie frame as jpg?

Is there a way, and if so how do you do it, to save a movie frame as a JPG? I have Lion OS and the most up to date versions of iLife software.
Thanks

First, get an app called MPEG Streamclip, which is free. (google MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5)
Open MPEG Streamclip.
In iMovie, select the clip you need. Then, right-click/Reveal in Finder.
Drag this clip from the Finder 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.

Export Frame - Pixel Aspect Ratio

The video in my timeline is 720 by 480 (1.2121). When I clip on "Export Frame" in the program window it exports a jpg that is 720 by 480 (0.9091)
I know I can right click on it and "modify - Interpret footage" and correct the pixel aspect ratio.
My question is "Why is it doing this and how can I correct it"?
Is their a setting I'm missing? Why does it change the pixel aspect ratio?

The jpeg is not square. The pixel aspect ratio would be 1 and not .9091, if it were.
I have two computers. On one the "Export Frame" exports the jpeg with the same pixel aspect ratio.
The other machine changes the pixel aspect ratio from 1.2121 to .9091.
I can't find any differences in my settings.

Photo using Export Frame is squished

... Versus the original size or dimensions that is displayed. I'm using a 1080p .mts file from a Canon M31. The end result of exporting the frame from the montior is squished -- probably 5X4 or 10X8, how do I change the snapshot size?

Below is a step by step guide with pictures so keep scrolling. You'll have to figure out how to apply these steps with other software.
The easiet solution is offered by Ann Bens. Here is a screen shot of how I used the AME. Make sure you UNCHECK export sequence and format to jpg or tiff.
Its quicker to use the export frame button on the monitor but if your going to use the end product as a still then you have to spend the same or more time fixing it; the AME is the best solution. Here is how to fix a jpg using photoshop.
STEP 1 - you'll see this window upon opening the file exported from PPro in PS.
STEP 2 - You'll see a widescreen picture but ...
once you uncheck "pixel aspect ratio correction" you see it looks squished
STEP 3 you'll want to resize it in the following sequence
Change the pixels from 72 to 300
B. Change the width to either 10 or 5
C. UNCHECK "constrain proportions" and change the dimension to 1920 Wide and 1080 Height
Now save the file and its ready to use in most other software and for use with online services like Costco's photo books and printers.
CHEERS!

Adobe Illustrator Export to JPEG (*.JPG) vs ICC Color Profiles vs Behance

Hi,
I work with Adobe Illustrator CC 2014. When I export my projects into *.JPG format (using both: 'Adobe Illustrator > File > Export' and 'Adobe Illustrator > File > Save for Web') I use ‘Embed ICC’ profile option. Every common image viewer I use (including web browsers and Adobe Bridge) respects those color settings and displays exactly what has been embedded. But when posting on Behance, my color settings are converted into something else! The only solution is to place my Adobe Illustrator file into a new Adobe Photoshop document , then export it into .JPG (with embedded color settings) and then post it to Behance. With this workaround my colors look pretty correct.
Did someone experience the same and could explain why Behance doesn’t respect the Adobe Illustrator export with embedded ICC profile settings?
one thing more – even if my *.JPG produced with Adobe Photoshop (the correct one) is displayed correctly, the cover photo (taken from the original) is still converted into different (Behance’s default??) color space. I believe this shouldn’t work this way. Is there any workaround to this? Is there any way my covers (miniatures) display the 'true' colors?
Please advise
Best Regards,

ok. I give up. It seems that Adobe Illustrator can export only to the JPEG File Interchange Format (JFIF) and Behence doesn’t fully support this format (for example it cannot read its icc color data correctly):
(JPEG) Formally, the EXIF and JFIF standards are incompatible. This is because both specify that their particular application segment (APP0 for JFIF, APP1 for Exif) must be the first in the image file. In practice, many programs and digital cameras produce files with both application segments included. This will not affect the image decoding for most decoders, but poorly designed JFIF or Exif parsers may not recognize the file properly (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG_File_Interchange_Format#Exif_comparison)
I’ve analyzed my files using JPEGsnoop 1.6.1 (really cool app by Calvin Hass, http://www.impulseadventure.com/photo/) and here is what I’ve found:
A) *.jpg produced with Adobe Illustrator > File > Export > JPEG > ICC profile embedded:
*** Marker: SOI (xFFD8) ***
OFFSET: 0x00000000
*** Marker: APP0 (xFFE0) ***
OFFSET: 0x00000002
length     = 16
identifier = [JFIF]
version    = [1.2]
density    = 72 x 72 DPI (dots per inch)
thumbnail = 0 x 0
B) *.jpg produced with Adobe Illustrator > File > Save For Web > JPEG > ICC profile embedded:
*** Marker: SOI (xFFD8) ***
OFFSET: 0x00000000
*** Marker: APP0 (xFFE0) ***
OFFSET: 0x00000002
length     = 16
identifier = [JFIF]
version    = [1.2]
density    = 100 x 100 (aspect ratio)
thumbnail = 0 x 0
C) *.jpg produced with Adobe Photoshop > File > Save As > JPEG > ICC Profile embedded
*** Marker: SOI (xFFD8) ***
OFFSET: 0x00000000
*** Marker: APP1 (xFFE1) ***
OFFSET: 0x00000002
length          = 1320
Identifier      = [Exif]
Identifier TIFF = 0x[4D4D002A 00000008]
Endian          = Motorola (big)
TAG Mark x002A = 0x002A
EXIF IFD0 @ Absolute 0x00000014
Dir Length = 0x0007
[Orientation ] = Row 0: top, Col 0: left
[XResolution ] = 720000/10000
[YResolution ] = 720000/10000
[ResolutionUnit ] = Inch
[Software ] = "Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 (Windows)"
[DateTime ] = "2014:08:02 17:21:15"
[ExifOffset ] = @ 0x00A8
Offset to Next IFD = 0x000000D4
EXIF IFD1 @ Absolute 0x000000E0
Dir Length = 0x0006
[Compression ] = JPEG
[XResolution ] = 72/1
[YResolution ] = 72/1
[ResolutionUnit ] = Inch
[JpegIFOffset ] = @ +0x0132 = @ 0x013E
[JpegIFByteCount ] = 1006
Offset to Next IFD = 0x00000000
EXIF SubIFD @ Absolute 0x000000B4
Dir Length = 0x0003
[ColorSpace ] = sRGB
[ExifImageWidth ] = 200
[ExifImageHeight ] = 200
So unfortunately the only option to produce the EXIF JPEG from an Adobe Illustrator project is to: Export *.ai file to JPEG (under Adobe Illustrator) > go to Photoshop > Create new project > Paste the *.jpg > and Sava As JPEG with icc embedded.

Publish settings Export frame set to 2 kills flvPlayback

To let my tiny preloader show up before its at 75% I changed
the export frame for classes to 2 in the publish settings. This
works for the preloader but now the flvPlayback doesnt work.
(except it does still work if I hit control enter a second time and
watch my preloder work.Bizzare!) The .flw file still wont playback
the .flv's when run on its own. Changing the export frame back to
"1" and all is fine except the preloader is a no show till it's at
75% or so.
Dosent seem to be any way to change properties for the
playback component itself.
help please. The last thread I saw on this subject had no
resolution and was from 2005.
ff

wow, you waited a whole of 10 minutes to complain you're not
getting help?
You might want to rethink that strategy, or you'll likely not
get any help
at all.
Things export in the frame their in, unless you specify
otherwise.
A more proper way to make a preloader is to use a separate
movie, and load
the content into an empty movie clip. Then you can use
MovieClipLoader, and
accurately monitor and display the dl.

The Export Frame for Classes specified in the Publish or Export settings

click file/publish settings/flash/actionscript settings and make sure frame 1 is set as the export frame.
if that's already set, don't use test scene.

How can I include the Frame Number when using "Export Frame"?

Im using the button at the bottom right of the Playback Control Panel called "Export Frame". This does exactly what I need but I have a lot of frames that need single frame exporting. How can I get the file name to automaticly include the frame number at the end of the file name?
For example, instead of it displaying "Sequence 01.Still001" by default. I would like for it to display "Sequence 01_0001" Letting me know that is frame 0001.
This is possible, correct?

Well what about in the export option using CTRL + M? I saw a coworker using this method in an older version of Premiere, but we can't enable it on CS5.5. Being able to export a single frame as a bmp that has the frame number at the end of the file name.
Example:
Output Name: Sequence 01_0001.bmp
Under Video Basic Setting is:
Export As Sequence UNCHECKED
Field Type: Progressive
Frame number still doesn't show at end of file name. What are we missing?

Is "export frame" the highest quality?

Hi. Sometimes I want to have a video clip freeze. That is to say, the final product will have two or more frames that are identical, taken from a single frame of a movie clip.
The way I've been doing this is using the Source or Program monitor to find the relevant frame, export it, and re-import it as a still. Yet, it occurs to me that when watching videos in the Source or Program monitors, I am not watching the video at its highest quality. When I finally render my product, I will render it at highest quality. Does this cause a mis-match between the exported frame and my final product?
When I "export frame", does Premiere take the time to render that frame at best possible quality? Or am I just getting a preview-quality frame?
Richard

The exported/frame grabbed frame will be full quality. The lowered quality is for preview purposes only from within Premiere itself. As long as you don't select .jpeg and stick with a lossless image format when you do a frame grab from within Premiere it will be full quality.

Distorted Aspect Ratio of Exported Frames

My project's aspect ratio is 16:9 (720 horizontal, 576 vertical).
I inserted a clip into the timeline.
I exported a certain frame to a file as an image.
The image file's size: 720 x 576.
I proceeded to import the image file into the project, and inserted it into the timeline.
The image's aspect ratio is not the same as the original footage.
Specifically, the horizontal side is narrower than originally (see attached screenshots).
What causes this discrepancy?
More importantly, what can i do to get exported frames to match the aspect ratio of the project?

OK, I've got the BMP. When I looked at your images, I thought that we were seeing your still image on the Timeline. We are not. That shape/size is what was produced.
Now, remember that I am on PrE 4, so things will be different in PrE 8. Still, I should be able to get you close. In PrE 4, one uses File>Export>Frame to do a Frame capture under the CTI (Current Time Indicator), and visible in the Program Monitor. When you choose this, you will get the standard Windows dialog screen, where you name and locate your still image. There is also a settings button, that will open up a second dialog box, for you to adjust many attributes of your Frame capture. There, you will have three choices in the left-hand Pane: General, Video and Keyframe and Rendering. First, go to General, and you'll get File Type w/ a dropdown. There, you can choose the format type and should have JPEG, TIFF, BMP, TARGA and GIF (maybe more in PrE 8, like PNG?). I'd stick with TIFF or BMP. About the only other choice is whether you want to add this captured still in your Project, or not. That is your choice.
Go to the Video listing in that left-hand Pane. There you can choose the Frame Size, the PAR and the Color Depth. Make sure that these match your Project's and your source footage's exact specs. Unless you need the Alpha Channel, and are using either TIFF or TARGA, leave Color Depth to Millions of colors. Otherwise, choose Millions +, where the + is that Alpha Channel.
I'd guess that it's in those settings, as to what is happening with your Frame capture. Let me know if you get this sorted, and sorry for my mis-step, but I was not clear on what I was seeing, and where I was seeing it.
Good luck,
Hunt

WARNING: The Export Frame...

WARNING: The Export Frame for Classes specified in the
Publish or Export settings, frame 10, does not exist. No bytecode
for ActionScript 2.0 classes or interfaces was exported.
What does that mean!??? My movie export correctly and
everything works fine but I keep getting this warning when I'm
editing the main fla. I have verify and reverify about my export
setting on frame 10 and everything is fine.
Kinda annoying...

click file/publish settings/flash/actionscript settings and make sure frame 1 is set as the export frame.
if that's already set, don't use test scene.

Preloader - export frame for AS 2 Classes - not initizialising component

I am using Yahoo's Map Component on a website. When I edit
the Export Frame in Publish settings so that the AS classes are
exported on a frame other than 1 (so my preloader is accurate) my
component does not initialize. I've researched relentlessly on a
solution to this, apparently the same happens for some default
Flash components, and just cannot find one.
Does anyone have any ideas?
In addition AS2 Classes add nearly 400k to my file size. Is
there anyway around this?

click file/publish settings/flash/actionscript settings and make sure frame 1 is set as the export frame.
if that's already set, don't use test scene.

How do I extract still from my videos. The options near the controls includes an option to export frame to pictures, but I click it and nothing happens.

How do I get a still frame from a video in the new photos app?

The secret is in the description "Export Frame to Pictures".
After you click this, look in your top-level "Pictures" folder for the file, such as "Frame-14-04-2015-09-26-59.tiff".
You can then "Import" this file back into Photos.

Exporting Frames Second Question

Premiere Pro is really starting to piss me off. I have everything set to export to 720x480, yet the exported frames come out 1260x720 in prefect quality or 720x460 in crappy quailty it will not export the frame correctly. I never had this problem with 6.5, hell i haven't had half the problems when I wanted to do something simple.
So here is the question if it isn't obvious. WHY WONT IT EXPORT IN FULL QUALITY AT THE SPECIFIED SIZE?

ok I also figured something else out, the still images aren't getting the same board around them, that video file does which is probably cause 80% of my issue. Why its expanding or cropping the still images to meet the frame size with the stills and not with the video I probably wont ever figure out. And if i scale the stills to match the video it distorts so im going to have to add a few extra hours to my time and just clip frame cut the images i need.

Export frame number

When i right click an item in my library and then click
linkage.....isee the option to export in first frame!
Is there anyway to instruct individual items to export in any
other frame than first?
If i go to publish settings and change export frame for
classes to frame 8 it changes ALL my classes, which presents a
problem as it stops my preloader working and gets stuck on frame
one rather than going to frame 8 and continuing with the animation?

wow, you waited a whole of 10 minutes to complain you're not
getting help?
You might want to rethink that strategy, or you'll likely not
get any help
at all.
Things export in the frame their in, unless you specify
otherwise.
