Exporting stills in 16.9 ratio

I'm exporting a lot of stills from a project in FCP with an aspect ratio of 16.9, they are coming out in a squeezed 4.3 look, how do I export them and maintain the 16.9 look??
Catherine Bennett

Hi - That is because your original video image must be anamorphic. If you don't have access to Photoshop to correct the aspect ratio for your still, simply open the exported still in Preview, go to the menu Tools > Adjust Size . . . and use the drop down menu Fit Into: 1920x1024 or 1280x720. Click OK and then save your image. If it's standard definition use 853x480.
Hope this helps.

  • Best settings for exporting stills from video?

    i've exported still frames to photoshop as tiff,jpeg,and photoshop format and still end up get those horizontal lines on the contours of some elements of the still-like the ones we see while reviewing a QT movie-i've been unsuccessful with the export options and resoerted to pixel correction to correct the problem--is there another way?--thanks

    Hello Brian,
    Have you tried de-interlacing before exporting?
    Sometimes, when I'm in a rush, I would expand the Canvas/Viewer (viewed at 100%), pick the clearest frame, and do a screen capture.
    For example, with the captured image (in Photoshop), I have a marquee preset at 640x480 (NTSC). I created an action to crop, resize to 720x480, then set the Pixel Aspect Ratio to NTSC.

  • Exporting still

    Trying to export a still from final cut pro and maintain proper aspect ratio. shooting 1280 x 1080 dvc pro hd footage.
    i went to quicktime conversion, export still. i know fcp doesn't preserve wide screen b/c of the square pixel thing. i brough it into photoshop but don't know what to do now. it already says it's at 1280 x 1080 pixels. but it looks squished.
    how do i make it look widescreen?

    Click on "Image" in Photoshop's menu bar, then on "Pixel Aspect Ratio" from the drop down list.
    You will find several options there.

  • Zigzag contours on exported still image

    Hi! I get Zigzag contours on exported still images, no matter what setting I have. The zigzag pattern is not there in the viewer (nor if I make a screen capture and save the caption). Something must be wrong. GRateful for advice.

    Hi -
    If you have Photoshop, open the exported image in Photoshop, and go to Filter > Video > De-interlace.
    If you do not have Photoshop, you can apply a De-interlace Filter in FCE to the clip you want to export the still frames from, do your frame exports, and then remove the De-interlace filter.
    In FCE -
    Effects Tab > Video Filters > Video > De-Interlace
    Hope this helps.

  • Batch Export Stills Broken in FCP5?

    In FCPHD you used to be able to batch export stills by setting markers in your clip
    1) Choose a clip, put in markers where you want to export
    2) open the export queue window (window -> export queue)
    3) drag the markers into the queue window
    4) select the batch folder in the queue window, and change the settings to your specs.
    5) export
    I can't seem to get this to work now - it just makes the markers subclips in the queue even when I set it to export stills it just gives me a white still.
    Does this no longer work in FCP5 or am I forgetting something?

    Thought I'd give this another try now that everybody's back from holiday.
    Can anybody confirm that you can't export stills this way from FCP5 or that you can from FCP4.5?

  • Export Still Image w/ Alpha

    Can it be done? - What settings do I need to export still frame with alpha channel?

    .png
    When you export... look to see if you have .png as an option.
    It's basically a Lossless picture format. (it's similar to a .gif... but the quality is waaay better.)
    Also you are are gonna want to make sure that your background is actually Transparent. If you have anything underneath (any type of background) you will not have a Transparent Picture or Still Frame w/ an Alpha Channel. You will have a picture with whatever background you chose.
    If FCP will not allow you to do this... you may need to export to QT, then find the frame you want, and export a .PNG from QT.

  • Exporting still image - how do I stop motion compressing the original image

    I wanted to see if I could take a still image in motion and isolate an object as Aperture 3 can't do this. I imported a photo of 5mb. I isolated a shot or my printer, cut out the background and filled it in with a white background. The printer fills most of the shot. When I export the image as eg a Tiff or jpeg the resulting exported image is only 600kb at most.
    I've tried starting my motion project as multimedia large and HD1080i which gives a slightly higher file size.
    How can I export such an image so that the exported still image is 4mb approx? As quality is needed for magazine pictures. I thought I had found a way to avoid buying photoshop!
    Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks

    If you have large areas of white, they do compress well - either in TIFF as RLE or LZW, or in JPEG, so if the quality is good, I shouldn't worry. But use TIFF or PNG instead of JPEG. JPEG is a lossy compression format.

  • Exporting Stills to iPhoto from iDVD

    Is it possible to export stills from iDVD? I have an antique home movie on DVD and can't find any way to export stills from it to iPhoto. There are no copyright problems and I only have the DVD.

    use Grap (in the Utilities folder) go get a large screen shot of the picture
    Will Grab capture DVD images? I originally started using SnapzPro because "standard" screen capture methods wouldn't capture DVD images.
    640 x 480 x 72dpi images
    640x480 pixels are all there are in the video image. With Photoshop the pixel size can be bumped up a little. A bigger problem will probably be due to interlacing artifacts.

  • Problem exporting stills from movie

    Hello,
    I'm trying to export stills in JPEG or TIFF from my quicktime movie. (QT Pro 7)
    I drag the playhead to the image > export > movie to pic > TIFF (or JPEG)
    But no matter what, the image saved on my desktop is in a PICT format which I cannot read.
    Thank you.

    You don't need to keep the .pct file extension on your export.
    You can change the .pct to .jpg (if you use Photo-JPEG compression) extension and save away.
    Bonus tip:
    You can also change the display size of the movie playback (drag or use the menu) and your "capture" will be made using this newer size.
    Bonus tip two:
    You can also use any image from the movie to create a custom icon for the .mov file.
    Position the playhead to the image you wish to capture. Use the right-left arrow keys to step through each frame.
    Command-C (copy) and switch to the Finder. Do a "Get Info" on the movie file.
    Click (just once) on the small QT icon in the upper left of the Get Info window and Command-V (paste).
    Your movie now sports a custom icon! Makes finding a file from a folder of dozens very easy.

  • Exporting Still from template?

    Hi all, using dvdsp4, I'd like to export a still from an apple template to make my own intro movie... Any ideas how to export to FCE or photoshop? Thanks!

    I don't think there is an "export still" option in DVDSP. Your best bet is probably command-shift-4 for a screenshot (this lets you drag a rectangle around the area you want)

  • Export Still Frame - Resolution

    I need to export a still frame from a video to create print materials. I exported as DPX from Program monitor (couldn't find any settings for resolution). Opened the file in Photoshop and realized the file resolution is 72 pixels per inch. How can I change export settings to be able to export stills at 300 resolution.Since DPX is used to create film prints, I assume there is a way to export stills at other than screen resolution. Suggestions and pointers appreciated.
    Thanks.
    RV

    I assume there is a way to export stills at other than screen resolution.
    There isn't. Screen resolution has little connection to print resolution. Video (and film) doesn't have any sort of DPI, though it's commonly referred to as having 72DPI; this is really just a convenience, more than anything. The only thing that matters in video is raw frame size, e.g. 1920x1080. At the typical print resolution of 300DPI, that's about 6.5"x3.5"--not exactly poster size.
    The best you can do is use Photoshop or other scaling algorithms to blow up the image, with the knowledge that it's going to get less sharp the larger you go.

  • After Effects CC - Export Still Frame

    Hi,
    I have recently upgraded to CC. I am trying to export still frames as a jpg from After Effects CC
    CS 5.5 (and previous versions) allowed me to use the shortcut ctrl+alt+s to add the current frame to the render queue as a still frame.  I would then change the format via the output module.
    The same shortcut in CC opens a dialogue box with psd as the only available output format. Composition> Save Frame As > File... also results in psd format with no other options.
    Is there a simillar simple process for exporting a still frame jpg via the render queue?
    Thanks in adavance

    scott_travers wrote:
    There does seem to be some unnecessary changes.
    However i have resolved this myself, if you click ok on the dialogue box and except the psd format, it adds it to the render quene where you can then change the format. No idea why there aren't any other options in the 'Save as File...' option, only PSD.
    This is the expected behavior when you have never rendered a comp from a newly installed version of AE. It's worked this way since at least AE 6.5 (the oldest version I have installed on a nearby computer to compare). The output module needs to have a destination for the file, so when you invoke the Save Frame As File command for the first time it brings up the Save As dialog. For the same reason, if you were to add a comp to the Render Queue directly it won't allow you to render until you set a destination.
    After the first time you create a output module with a destination, AE will remember the last-used location and use that by default without asking you. The only time you should it would ask you again is if you destroy AE's preferences or if the last-used location is no longer valid (deleted folder, disconnected drive, etc.).
    The reason the only selectable format here is PSD is because that is what the default OM for Save Frame As File uses. You can, and should, change this if you always use a different format. Go to Edit > Templates > Output Module . Create a new template with your desired settings and assign it to Frame Default.

  • Export stills

    is there any way to export stills from fcpx a little faster then going through the destinations menu? resolve is much more flexible in that regard....option click on the current frame and save right there....their gallery feature is nice as well.....
    is there anything in fcpx like that?
    i am working with Red Epic 5k raw files so the stills are very nice size Tiffs....

    thanks, i was aware of that video....
    but i did not know that i could create my own shortcut......the only problem is that somehow it is not working? the shortcut does not show up....is it because it is a submenu item?
    i would love apple to simply put in a button (like the guy in the video said, adobe just has a camera button with a click sound)...i can't imagine i am the only one who wants and needs this....
    EDIT: the submenu items have "..." which have to be added as well....now the shortcut shows up
    would still love a "camera" button

  • Still image pixel aspect ratio wrong in exported video (but correct in Premiere renders)

    I've saved a targa still image from my footage and added it to the bin. It's properties show as follows:
    Image Size: 1440 x 1080
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.3333
    This correctly matches my sequence settings as I'm working with 1080p widescreen footage.
    The image appears as expected in the Program window both before and after rendering previews. However, once I export my sequence as a video file, the still image is squashed (displaying incorrectly):
    A work around would be to stretch out the still to a width of 1920 in Premiere so that the export displays it back at its normal aspect ratio - which works - but I don't understand why I should have to do this.
    The other solution I found was to go to the bin and 'Modify > Interpret Footage' and although "Use Pixel Aspect Ratio from File" already shows the correct settings, to actively reset it (to the same pixel aspect ratio)  with the 'Conform to' option:
    This works too.
    Surely a bug?
    (using Premiere Pro CC)

    Thanks for the quick reply. But then why does the still's properties (in my bin) show the pixel aspect ratio as 1.3333 (not square pixels, 1.0) and should it not appear incorrectly in both the preview renders and the exported video ? This seems inconsitent to me.
