Exporting .jpg that is HDV

My client wants to capture stills from her HDV footage BUT I'm having trouble with it looking correct. I realize that HDV is 16x9 but is there a way to export the still without it looking squeezed on the sides and in 4x3 instead of 16x9?
Thanks!

One way I do it is to open the source file in Quicktime and export a still from there. It maintains the aspect ratio.

  • Problems with JPGs that have been exported from InDesign

    I have used InDesign CS4 for years and recently been upgraded to the Creative Cloud package, I have gone from a PC to a MAC as well.
    The problem seems to be when I export a document in InDesign to a JPG file, when I try and use the JPG in other applications such as Powerpoint (for the Mac), the jpg isn't highlighted as an option to insert...like it hasn't been recognised.
    I also recently had a problem uploading some jpg photos I had edited and exported to jpg and tried to upload to Snapfish and although I have done this many times before, it said my jpg file was corrupt.
    No virus, or anything like that.
    Does anyone know whether you can tweak the 'export' settings for indesign, I wondered if it was a compatibility issue?
    Anyone help me?
    Thanks

    Well of course, there are the settings in InDesign's JPEG Export dialog, but there, all you can really do is make sure you're writing a "baseline" JPG in RGB mode. (Disclaimer: I haven't seen the 'CC' dialog, so there may be more about which I'm unaware.)
    ...when I try and use the JPG in other applications such as Powerpoint (for the Mac), the jpg isn't highlighted as an option to insert...like it hasn't been recognised.
    That sounds like it could be a Microsoft Office issue. Can you insert a JPG that isn't the product of InDesign export? This is also why I mentioned RGB. I've seen Office apps choke on or ignore CMYK JPG's.
    The number of posts in this forum on the subject of InDesign's JPEG export is unsettling to me. I truly believe it's a case of "Just because you can doesn't mean you should." Maybe I was "raised differently," figuratively speaking, but it would have never occurred to me to develop a workflow around the regular/routine export of raster images from my page layout application. If JPEG is my intended output, InDesign is the last application I'd reach for, perhaps unless I had a rare and specific need of a raster image depicting an InDesign-originated page layout. But even then, chances are I'd export from InDesign to PDF, then rasterize that by opening in Photoshop. If you need full control over raster image output, Photoshop is the much better bet.

  • Preserving 16x9 format when exporting jpg

    Hi. I am exporting from FCE, still images from a sequence using File/Export/Quicktime conversion and still image or image sequence settings. The project is from HDV and is in widescreen but the exported jpg images are 'tall and thin', indicating it has somehow converted from 16x9. I cannot find any reference to this in the FCE manual. Can you help? (I am UK based, using PAL and capturing the HDV footage using Easy Setup setting HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i50) - Thanks, Max

    Why are you exporting image sequences? What are you trying to do? HDV 1080 material is normally squeezed for compression from 1920 to 1440. That's the way the HDV 1080 format is designed so that's what you get when you export an image sequence. If you're going back to video this is the best way to leave your material as it's the least manipulated that way. If you're doing something else then you have to readjust the images.

  • How do I export jpgs as tifs with the original resolution ?

    Hi,
    I am very new to Lightroom 5 (I only installed it today (on Windows 8.1) :-)) but I have read Victoria Bampton's Quick Start Guide and have read a number of forum posts over the last few weeks to get an idea about how the program generally works.
    I am embarking on a project to scan and archive my family's photos and videos, and I will be using Lightroom to manage the collection.  To start the project, I have just imported over 10,000 digital photos taken by a variety of cameras (36 of them, according to Lightroom !)  over the last 12 years or so into a new Lightroom catalogue.   These are all currently JPEG files, but I want to keep TIFF files in the collection because my research has led me to the conclusion that TIFF is a better long-term archival format.
    I started by doing an Export of a small number of photos to save the .jpg files as .tif files, but when reviewing the results, I noticed that the image's resolution was changed during the export.  For example, one original jpg is only 96ppi but the exported tif is 240ppi.  Another jpg is 180ppi and the tif is 240ppi.  At least, that's what the metadata seems to be telling me (via the Details tab of the Properties dialog in Windows), so I assume it's true...
    I understand that the 240ppi that I am seeing in the .tif file metadata was specified in the Image Sizing section of the Export dialog, so that's not the issue.  
    I would prefer it if the .tif file has the exact same resolution (ppi) as the original .jpg, but I am unable to work out how to do it.   It would be great if the resolution setting in the Export dialog was controlled by the Resize to Fit checkbox, like the other settings in the section, but it doesn't appear to be (it's enabled even if the Resize to Fit checkbox is unticked).
    I then thought about using the Library Filters to filter by the Horizontal Resolution metadata, so that I could select all the photos with the same resolution and export just those with the Resolution setting in the Export dialog set to the right number, and then repeat that process for each different group of original photos with a different resolution.  Unfortunately, I have not been able to work out how to filter by the horizontal resolution metadata field - it doesn't seem to be available in the dropdown list of fields shown when I click on the up-down arrow next to the "Date" or "Camera" (etc.) columns in the Library Filter pane.
    Finally, here's my question (or three):  
    Is there a way to export .jpgs to .tif files while keeping the original resolution ?  
    Alternatively, is there a way to select groups of photos by their horizontal or vertical resolution (so just those photos could be exported in a group with the right resolution specified) ?
    Or is there any other way to do what I want (convert jpg to tif with the same resolution and keeping all the metadata) ?
    Thanks for reading all the way through to the end.
    John.

    These are all currently JPEG files, but I want to keep TIFF files in the collection because my research has led me to the conclusion that TIFF is a better long-term archival format.
    I'm not sure why you say this. In terms of long-term archival format, I think the two are equal, I am not aware of other reasons to do this, and thus in my opinion, the task of globally turning all your JPGs into TIFFs seems unnecessary. You don't gain anything by doing this. But you sure will spend a lot of time and take up a lot of disk space doing this.
    I would prefer it if the .tif file has the exact same resolution (ppi) as the original .jpg, but I am unable to work out how to do it.
    Again, I think you have embarked upon an unnecessary task. The ppi in the file is essentially meaningless. A photo that has (for example) 3000x2000 pixels saved at 240 ppi is the exact same photo as the same photo 3000x2000 saved at 180ppi, not a single pixel has changed. You are placing a meaning and importance to this ppi number that just doesn't exist.
    To answer your questions at the bottom, I would advise you to not do the things you are talking about, it seems to me that you have greatly misunderstood things.

  • Script for moving playhead to last frame, then exporting jpg?

    Hi,
    I have a lot of Flash files for which I need to export jpgs of their last frame. Could a kind soul out there guide me on how to write a command for moving the timeline's playhead to the last frame, then exporting a jpg (at Full Document Size, 72 dpi, 96% quality)?
    A million thanks,
    Kevin

    private function snapshotLastFrame():void
    gotoAndStop( this.totalFrames );
    _bitmapData                         = new BitmapData( stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight );
    _bitmap                              = new Bitmap( _bitmapData );
    _bitmapData.draw ( stage );
    saveImageJPG( _bitmapData, "test.jpg", 96 );
    public function saveImageJPG( bitmapData:BitmapData, fileName:String, quality:int ):void {
                this.jpgEncoder = new JPGEncoder( quality );
                this.fileReference = new FileReference();
                this.fileReference.save( this.jpgEncoder.encode( bitmapData ), fileName + ".jpg" );
    Keep in mind that you need a few extra libraries to be able to create a jpeg.. (AS3CoreLib) can be found at googleCode.

  • My lightroom 5.5 will not export jpg or any other type of photo from the original RAW/NEF uncompressed file.  I get a message saying there is a Win 32 "file missing."  I unistalled 5.5 and reinstalled 5.4 and it works fine.  What to do?  Anyone else have

    LRoom 5.5 does not export files under any circumstances.  I've chosen different locations; putting it in Lightroom NEF to JPG, putting it in another program, same conversion. 
    I get a "win 32 file missing.....".  I did not copy that message as it was not complete.  I uninstalled 5.5 and reinstalled 5.4 and it works just fine.  I didn't notice any difference to begin with.  Minor fixes for a few cameras and lenses.
    Not being able to export is a SERIOUS problem and its not with my computer.  If it worked for the last 3 years, it must be with 5.5.
    Any ideas?  Thanks for you input and help.  Also, how does one get Adobe to interact directly with its customers rather than having the blind leading the blind??
    Thanks

    99.9% (estimated) of Lr5.5 users are not having the problem you are (can't export).
    That said, for this type of problem, you may want to consider Adobe technical support instead of the forum - I prefer chatting..
    If you want some advice from a fellow blind user: try renaming your preferences file (and all other Lr data files if preference file doesn't make a difference, try a new catalog if still no luck). If still the same error, consider posting the rest of that error message - it could be you just need another "win 32" file not being installed by Lr installer, but without knowing the filename, it's kinda hard to say.........
    Preference and other file locations in Lightroom 5
    PS - the logic: "no problem til Lr5.5, so Lr5.5 code at fault" sounds good on the surface, but is surprisingly flawed - perhaps you should consider yourself lucky the other versions worked despite the potential for problem, rather than considering yourself unlucky that you got nailed when upgrading to Lr5.5 .

  • Illustrator CS6 - Export jpg without adding artboard to name

    Is there a way in Illustrator CS6 to export as jpg with Use Artboard check to not have illustrator add the name of the artboard to your file name?
    Example -
    File name "redboat.ai"
    Export jpg "redboat.jpg" with Use Artboard option selected
    File name becomes "redboat-01.jpg"
    This is not a huge problem when I only have 1 or two files but when I have to rename 100+ file names it can be a pain.
    I do understand that I can batch rename in Bridge but it would be nice if I could have these files saved without the artboard name on them.
    Any help appreciated.

    Export to .jog with use artbaords, needs to add to the name, so shen you export imaegs with multiple artbaords you do not have reapeated names.
    You can do a save for web, and turn on clip to artboard and you will get the filename you need. Record an action to save the file to your desktop, and you will save even more time running this as a batch command on a folder of images.

  • Export jpg to new folder just copy unmodified pics

    Is there a way to export jpg files to a new folder and let lightroom process only the modified pictures and leave others untouched. Here is a short example what I mean by that:
    1. I take 100 photos
    2. I apply edits to 50 of the photos, the other 50 look fine as is.
    3. I want to export all the photos to a new folder with new names based  on the event.
    4. Of course my altered JPEGs will need to be reprocessed and resaved  with varying degrees of JPEG compression.
    5. But the photos that were not  altered I’d simply like copied to the new folder with in sequence  filenames
    Is there a way to do that with lightroom?

    Lightroom cannot do it automatically, I mean, deciding which one to export as a new recomressed JPEG and which one to just copy.
    So, you'll have to separate the two groups manually and perform two separate exports.
    1. Use the Library filter to separate by "Develop settings": Untouched JPEGS will be in the "Default" group, while edited jpegs will either be in custom or a develop preset.
    2. Export edited with the jpeg settings you need.
    3. Export unedited as "original".

  • Digital photo professional - export JPG from RAW

    Hello!
    i have a problem with program Digital photo professional, when i want export images from RAW format to JPG.
    The problem is, that quality of image is much more worse, then in RAW format in DPP. JPG looks blurred and fuzzy.

    I want export JPG with the same quality as i see in RAW
    Is there anybody to help me?
    Thanks a lot.

    1. open *.CR2 (raw file) in DPP
    2.file/convert and save
    3.type of file - EXif JPEG (JPG, JPEG)
    4.image quality 10

  • How to find the original RAW file # from a Lightroom exported JPG?

    Hello, this is in regards to a Lightroom 3.5 exported JPG. This was a year ago when I had been told it was best to export files with simple renumbering of them from 1 to x... instead of retaining the original RAW 4-digit file name.
    I've currently lost the original files, and need to do a search for them via these 4 digits to see if I have them tucked away in any of my drives. I downloaded a metadata explorer, and it's telling me all the lightroom editing information, and everything else, but somehow does not have the simplest of information — that 4 digit original file name.
    Am I grasping at straws or is there likely to be any way to find this information out? I don't work with metadata, so there wouldn't have been any customizations to how Lightroom configures this....hoping that's in my favor. Any help is much appreciated!!!!

    A note about security (context: downloaded apps & plugins...).
    Anatomy of a URL:
    protocol://stuff.stuff.stuff.domain.domain-suffix/stuff/stuff?stuff=stuff
    None of this stuff matters much except:
    domain.domain-suffix (and protocol, to some extent).
    So if you download something from:
    http://ignafradifcawhatyousay.toolonganyway.my.server.com/gogafnoics...
    It's coming from server.com using http (web) protocol.
    But, if you download it from:
    http://my.server.com.badguy.tv/...
    It's coming from badguy.tv, NOT server.com, so if you want it from server.com - danger will robins...
    And, if you download from
    http://216.195.245.134/my.server.com
    It's coming from an unregistered internet address (216.195.245.134) - again: danger...
    (4 groups of up-to-3 digits separated by dots is the format for a literal internet (IP) address, instead of domain-name...)
    Summary: if you learn the anatomy of a URL, and pay attention to the URL's you are clicking on, or entering directly, you can take more responsibility for security, and assure (to a greater extent) you don't download from an unfriendly source.

  • Exported JPGs with patch have Big Black Box - ugh

    I've seen a few other threads related to this, but I haven't found a solution: when I export a JPG that's been patched in Aperture, I get terrible corruptions - check out this example. It seems to happen every time. I'm on a 24" iMac with an upgraded video card and 2GB RAM, using RAW images from a D70 exported as mid-size JPEGs. Anybody got a fix/idea/something for this? Or am I going to have to clean my lenses more often ??

    1.5.2 says it addresses image export, but it doesn't state which bug(s) corrected.
    I haven't exported a bunch of images since, but I was plagued with this under 1.0-1.5.1.
    Workaround (for affected images):
    Go into full screen. Pause for a second
    Export image
    (I run Activity Monitor to show CPU activity)
    Wait until CPU activity drops to baseline
    Go on to next image.
    For really stubborn (i.e. lots of spot/patches), I would use zoom to 100% and scroll around the whole image to ensure it was all held in memory at full res.

  • Exporting JPGs with their Original Filename

    So, I have these sets of cropping documents with images laid out in them taking up the entire frame, no text or anything else. At the end of the day, I need to export the crops with the original JPGs' naming convention. Right now, I am going through, exporting and then renaming. Sometimes I get sequential images with the same prefix in the same document which is super easy. However, other times there are images with different prefixes, a couple image numbers missing, or even the sequence being out of order. I was wondering if there was a way(maybe a script) out there that would allow me to export JPGs of each page while using the placed JPG's filename. So if page 1 had a JPG named image_1 and page 2 had a JPG named image_4, when I export them, I'd end up with two files, image_1 and image_4.
    It might sound silly, but it would be super helpful when exporting documents with 30+ images, sometimes laid out in the incorrect order or with different prefixes. Any one have any ideas? Or even if it would be possible?

  • Exporting ProRes conversion of HDV into Motion 3 darkens image

    When I export an HDV clip from FCP into Motion 3, apply Optical Flow frame blending, then export to FCP as an HDV file, the brightness and saturation of the resulting QT HDV file are essentially identical to the original. But when I begin by exporting the original clip to ProRes(HQ) via QT conversion or Compressor, bring the ProRes file into Motion and afterwards export to FCP as HDV, the resulting clip is considerably darker (and maybe more saturated) than the original. In the QT conversion, I'm not applying any brightness or contrast filtering. Any clues about what I'm doing wrong?
    Alfred Guzzetti

    hi,
    why do you need to convert the codec into motion and then back again into FCP. Why not send to motion from fcp keeping the same format, and then drop thew motion file itself onto the fcp timeline and use it as a clip. ( although the need to render it everytime something moves can be a pain I know). I find that the less codec changes in a work flow the better.

  • Aperture 3 export jpg

    Hi, I'm devastated !!! I noticed that export jpg quality for web gallery is awful with Aperture 3.0.2 even by choosing the better quality. I can compare to Aperture 2 and it's not really the same quality. Did you saw that ? I Hope this will be fixed in a next update because my website is really ugly now.
    Very disapointed by the new version...

    I came home and tried confirming in Aperture at 100%, prior the image was shrunk 33% to fit my screen.
    Clearly at 100% I can see in Aperture the star trails colors do degrade when applied edge sharpen, just sharpen adds crispness but barely affects color - if at all.
    100% No sharpen PP:

    100% Just sharpen PP, colors still present, I like the added crispness of the star trails:

    100% sharpen and edge sharpen PP, colors very much affected.
    Playing with the edge sharpen controls (intensity, edges, falloff) showed varying degrees of color degradation, I consider any not acceptable so won't use edge sharpen PP for star trails.
    http://lh4.ggpht.com/_FqTNmgNQHz8/TFDIdXHKYGI/AAAAAAAAKdo/TOOPRbODd00/Jul%2016%2 0tiff%20startrails%20c%20-%20Version%202%20sharpenand%20Edge%20PP.jpg
    Should edge sharpen be doing this?
    I don't know, hard to say.
    But at least now I'm WYSIWYG (been so many years since I've typed that), seeing Aperture is same as export.
    Teaches me to always confirm at 100% any PP.

  • Lightroom 3 exporting issue: exported JPGs come out with much more noise than original edited files

    Hi all,
    My first post here so nice to meet everyone. I've been having some issues with exporting in Lightroom recently. It appeared to happen quite out of the blue. Sometimes when I export my edited .cr2 files as jpgs (in srgb), at a good quality (no less than 85), some of resulting jpgs seem to have exposure higher and/or a horribly large increase in the amount of visable noise. It seems many of the photos which this occurs in have pretty high settings for fill light, but even still, the noise is not visable in lightroom while editing the metadata linked .cr2.
    I thought it might be the problem that I'm viewing the final exported jpgs in preview, but I also tried adding them back into the catalog and they look just as off. I just upgraded to 3.3, but it seems to be having the same issue. If anyone can please help, it would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks

    No sharpening at all during my export, Ian. Sometimes I sharpen for screen at a standard strength, but I turned it off when I started seeing the extra artifacts but the results of the exports remains basically the same with or without sharpening.
    However when I import it seems my photos already have some sharpening on them in the develop module. The settings there are sharpening = 25, radius = 1, Detail = 25, masking = 0. I honestly rarely mess with the sharpening, so I guess I skipped over those settings during the countless hours I have worked with LR! But I assume those are normal post import numbers, correct? I never apply development settings during import, that's why I say that. Thanks for keeping up the conversation and brainstorming Ian! Anyone else also free to chime in.
