Extract a JPEG from video?

I have a video in iMovie (imported from iPhoto) that I would like to extract a still photo out of. I'd like to get it as a JPEG file. How do I do this?
Thanks - Sue

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 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.

Is there a way to create still jpegs from video clips in iMovie?

I shot some video on Christmas day and imported them to iMovie 9.
I want to creat some jpegs from the video clips and print them as photos.
Is there a way to create a jpeg from a video clip and save the file?
Thanks for the info!

Here is a method for extracting a still from iMovie 09.
Are you working in iMovie and realize that certain frames in the movie would be perfect as photographs? Here is how to extract them...
*To get a still frame from an Event*, right-click on the frame and select "Add Still Frame to Project". The still will be added to the end of the current project. Right click on the still frame in the project and select "Reveal in Finder". You will see a jpeg file that is highlighted. Drag this jpeg file in the finder to the iPhoto icon on your dock.
*If you want a still from a project*, rather than an event, the process is similar, except you right-click on the frame and select "Add Freeze Frame", and it adds the freeze frame at the end of the clip rather than at the end of the project. Right-click/reveal in Finder, drag JPEG to iPhoto icon in dock.
*If you are not using iPhoto*, and just want to save to your desktop, click Reveal in Finder as above, then COPY, then PASTE to desktop.
Hint: If you do not want to clutter up your iMovie Project with stills at the end that you would have to go back and delete, then create a separate iMovie Project just for your stills, and follow the instructions for capturing stills from an Event.
Note: If you do not have a right mouse button, then control-click will work instead of right-click.

Jpeg from video?

How do you take a jpeg from a quicktime movie or FCP file?

In QuickTime Player: File > Export > Movie to Picture.
When you get to the Save As... dialog enter the name and the .jpg extension otherwise QT tries to save in .pict format.
You can use the Movie Properties pane to apply deinterlacing if needed (press command and J keys to get the pane to show up).

How can you create a jpeg from video in imovie 13?

In imovie11 you could hit share, convert using quicktime, and then select mov to jpeg or gif. that option is not available in imovie13? Anyone know how to create a jpeg or gif in the new imovie?

When you say you would drag the image itself into the Swatch Palette and it would show the image itself? How would then use this swatch? Can you give an example of what you would apply a jpeg to as a swatch? The only palette that I can think of off the top of my head that you can drag a jpeg into and have the icon appear as the jpeg is the Symbols Palette. Is is possible that you were using the Symbols Palette in the past and not the Swatch Palette?

Sound from video shuts down when I exit iPod application on my iPhone

I have 1Gen iPhone with 2.2.1 firmware (5H11).
I have certain video files (primarily, videocasts not from iTunes and video interviews) which I only listen (not view) when I am commuting, exercising in the gym, running etc.
Every time I turn the screen off or exit iPod application on my iPhone - the video shuts down. That ***** because sometimes I need to reply to SMS, check the calendar, etc.
I looked through the settings - there is no way to solve this problem. Are there any alternative ways? Extracting the audio from video files is a solution, but I don't want to waste time on this.

yes, when you lock the iPhone, the video playback stops. the only real solution you have is to extract the audio. depending on the length of the file, this can take between 30 seconds to a couple of minutes. even extracting the audio from full length movies only took about 10 minutes, so it is not a highly interactive process. google 'audio extraction' and depending on your computer, you will probably find some free programs that will do it.

hedger,
How do you expect anyone to help when we don't know a darned thing about the file, abut your setup, exact version of Photoshop and your OS, machine specs, etc.?
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.

Can you extract the audio from a music video?

Some of my favorite songs were purchased from Itunes as music videos. (Because they are also my favorite videos.) Now I'm trying to figure out how to move those songs to the iPod +without having to buy the songs as just songs!+ It's been very frustrating. "Create iPod or iPhone version" doesn't convert to anything useful for a Shuffle. How do I extract the audio from the video?
Or do I have to buy the same music over again?

Hello RoyFeni,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Can you change the music video's *Media Type* to Music from under the Options tab of the *Get Info* window for the track in iTunes?
I'm not sure if you can, but hey its at least worth a try. It's all I have though.
Otherwise, this is not possible via iTunes. The only way you would be able to extract the audio is through the help of some third party application. Not sure how simple or complicated the process is.

If all you want is to create a backup of some file you can do:public class Foo
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Foo f = new Foo();
        f.createBackup("something.xls");
    public void createBackup(String inFile) {
        FileInputStream in = null;
        FileOutputStream out = null;
        try {
            in = new FileInputStream(inFile);
            out = new FileOutputStream(inFile + ".bak");
            int read;
            while ((read = in.read()) > -1) {
                out.write(read);
            out.flush();
        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();

                } catch (IOException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();

Extraction Key Frames from a video

Hi all,
I would like to know what is the best way to extract keyframe from a video.
My Status (butr I can cahnge it)
I'm Marco and I'm using JMF; I need for an help because I don't know how to extract keyframes from AVI and MPG files.
I'm using the code posted in this forum for extracting all frame in a video with the adding of an if expression that in the accessFrame method that I report below:
void accessFrame(Buffer frame) {
BufferToImage stopBuffer = new BufferToImage((VideoFormat) frame.getFormat());
Image stopImage = stopBuffer.createImage(frame);
try {
BufferedImage outImage = new BufferedImage(size.width, size.height, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
Graphics og = outImage.getGraphics();
og.drawImage(stopImage, 0, 0, size.width, size.height, null);
Iterator writers = ImageIO.getImageWritersByFormatName("jpg");
ImageWriter writer = (ImageWriter) writers.next();
File f = new File(frame.getSequenceNumber() + ".jpg");
if ((frame.getFlags() & Buffer.FLAG_KEY_FRAME) != 0){{color}
{color:#ff9900}
ImageOutputStream ios = ImageIO.createImageOutputStream(f);
writer.setOutput(ios);
{color:#ff9900}
writer.write(outImage);
ios.close();}
} catch (IOException e) {{color}
System.out.println("Error :" + e);
So, I'm able to extract some keyframe, but i'm not sure it is the correct way and my dubt grows out of the fact that without the if expression highlighted in red, it seems that I have more keyframes (those ones with flag ==1040). Another problem is that it works only with AVI because MPG instead of 1040, they have alternate sequence of 32 and 1056.
Cheers and thank u
Marco

With the code yoodleyee posted, frames can be extracted and converted from the raw decoded format into images, but no guarantee that the frame extracted is a key frame, isnt it?Actually, there is such a guarantee...because the FrameGrabbingControl isn't implemented in any video format that uses keyframes. So, if it works, then every frame of the video is a keyframe, and it won't work otherwise.
How can key frames be detected with JMF and then extracted with the code provided? Any tutorial or sample code about that?They can't be. You can write a custom codec that will give you access to every frame, regardless of the format, if you're wanting to get all of the frames.
Example: [http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/media/jmf/2.1.1/solutions/FrameAccess.html]
But JMF doesn't have any way of dealing with key frames directly, at least that I am aware of.

How can I extract a piece of video from a DVD ?

Dear all,
I recorded a DVD of a TV broadcast. I'd like to get an extract from it and use it in a presentation later (such as powerpoint).
How can I extract the piece of video ?
Is is possible to record it with quicktime (for example) or any other application ?
thanks for your help
Didier

MPEG Streamclip and the Apple MPEG-2 component will allow you to edit the VOB files off the DVD and export to MPEG-4. Searching here will provide this answer several hundred times as it is asked a LOT. More so for iPod users. You cannot export or edit and then export MPEG1/2 with Quicktime unless you do not need the audio as there won't be any.

Told by adobe that I should purchase photoshop elements 13 to extract photo from video but it will not even open a video file -- what am I missing?

I am supposed to be able to extract a frame from PSE 13 but it will not let me do so. Specifically, Select File > Import > Frame From Video is supposed to allow this but when I click Import, there is no Frame from video option.
Here are the instructions from the Adobe website:
You can play a video from within Photoshop Elements and grab frames to edit and save as images.
Select File > Import > Frame From Video.
Browse and select the video.
Click Play.The video starts playing in the Frame From Video dialog box. You can use the playback controls to display the frames your want to grab. If you find the audio distracting, select Mute.
Click Grab Frame.Photoshop Elements places the grabbed frames as images in new files., ready for editing.
Click Done.

This is strange because I found the following on the adobe PSE 13 website (but the Select File/Import does not include Frame From Video:
You can play a video from within Photoshop Elements and grab frames to edit and save as images.
Select File > Import > Frame From Video.
Browse and select the video.

Can I Extract a Frame from a Video (in Lightroom 3 or Photoshop CS5)?

I'm running Windows 7 and have Lightroom 3 and Photoshop CS5. Extracting a frame from a .MOV file is way over my head, but I want to try. Right now the file is in Lightroom, but the "Open in" options are grayed out. I have exported the file to my desktop, and I can play the video with Windows Media Player. I bet somewhere, somehow there is a way to do what I want. Any help, ideas or references would be much appreciated!

When you say "Extract a frame", do you mean saving one of the frames as an image from Photoshop?
Here's what you can do:
1. Open the video in Photoshop, File > Open, and choose the .mov file.
2. Once the video opens in Photoshop, open the Animation panel, Window > Animation
3. In the Animation panel move the playhead to the desired frame, and save it as an image, File > Save As.
and Voila!
Any questions, just ask. I'll be more than happy to help.

Extracting audio from video clip to use as narration?

Hi there,
I have a video clip in which I want to take the audio of actor speaking and put it onto another video.
I.e. he is speaking about walking in the park. I want to take him speaking about walking in the park and put it onto the clip where he is actually walking in the park.
How do I do this in premiere elements 10?

Hi Bill,
Thanks for the quick response. I guess my question now is how would I do those two things?
In terms of exporting the audio, where can I find that option when I'm on timeline?
What do you mean by "Alt-click" and what is a "muxed file"?
Thanks again,
Mallory

Welcome to the forum. There are several ways to accomplish this, and your choice might well rest on how you like to work, and what you are doing, such as Deleteing Video. First, you could Export/Share just the Audio as a PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 16-bit, from your Timeline, and Import that into a New Project, where the Audio WAV file would be used. OTOH, you could Atl-click on the Video portion of the muxed file, and Delete the Video, leaving only the Audio portion. Good luck, Hunt

Extracting Audio from Video With QuickTime Pro?

I read on another discussion board that QuickTime Pro could record/extract audio only from a video file. So I purchased the QuickTime Pro upgrade today (for Windows XP) but can't seem to find out how to do it, assumimg that post was correct and it can be done at all.
The Nero video editing software I use can get the video file in MPEG-2, MPEG-1, AVI and other formats. I tried MPEG-1, but even the conversion to QuickTime's .mov format came up with no audio at all. I noticed a post here saying that was a limitation of the software. I could purchase the QuickTime MPEG-2 add-on but that seems to only allow playback and doesn't look like it will help any.
Another post on the other discussion board said that virtualdub.org has a software program that could do this extraction, but silly me I went with Apple and was delighted to read about the no refund policy just now. :-/
I'm guessing another possible approach is some kind of hardware solution -- a recording device of some sort?

In order to extract a track (video or audio) the file first must have those as independent tracks.
MPEG 1 and 2 are "muxed" (video and audio in the same track) so QuickTime Pro has nothing to extract.
MPEG Streamclip (free) can convert .mpg and .mpeg files to QuickTime formats.
If you export from Nero as .avi you can also use QuickTime Pro to extract tracks as it will have at least two.
MPEG 1 and 2 are playback formats and are not intended to be edited.
