Extracting photos from iMovie

A lot of my still photos were "lost" in a software update mess. Some of the stills I need are part of an imovie project. How do I extract them and add to iphoto. I can still manipulate the movie project, but it won't let me drag the photos to iphoto or copy and paste them. Help!

Extract photo in imovie 11?

I'm new to this version of imovie and don't know how to create a photo from imovie 11. also, can you please provide step by step instructions because I don't know how to view the movie in timeline format or still by still? I used to know imovie much better back in 2007 but that doesn't help me now. thanks!

Good Job! MPEG Streamclip will be valuable to you in other ways too. But it is the quickest way to extracting photos now that iMovie vers '08, '09, '11 got rid of the ability to do it natively in the Application itself.

How can I make a still photo from imovie

How can I make a still photo from imovie?

Let's assume you have iMovie 11 (Version 9). (If you have a different version, let me know. The instructions will be different.)
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.
I have created a short video Tutorial on how to do this. There is one error in the Tutorial, where it says that Command-click is the same as right-click. I should have said Control-click instead.

How do i move photos from imovie to iphoto

How do I move photos from imovie to iphoto?

You cannot put photos in a trailer. They are designed for videos.
However, there is a way around this.
Go to the Project Library view. Select your Trailer. Now, click FILE/CONVERT TO PROJECT.
Now you can add photos.

You cannot.
Why are you opposed to paying for some software to help do what you want?
You can restore the backup to your iPhone then sync the photos to your computer.

I updated to imovie 11 on my iPhone 4 and my old videos were the only ones there. Everybody else that had this problem went to settings privacy photos then turned on access to photos from imovie. When I went to the settings and went to photos there

Please help ASAP
Thank you

I have exactly the same problem and cannot see the imovie privacy option in photos either

Extract photo from video clip?

Can I extract a photo from an m4a video clip?
I used my iPhone to shoot about one second of video instead of a still picture, as I'd intended; now I want to get a still from the clip.
Any ideas on the best way to do this with iPhoto or iMovie, or some other application? Thanks.

Not with iPhoto - try iMovie - there is a forum and a help menu

Can no longer extract photos from my iphone to my computer

For the first time, I've been unable to extract any of the photos from my iphone (original) to transfer to my computer. I think I've tried almost everything... including resetting all my settings and going directly to "my computer" and trying to access the files from there. However, I keep getting various messages depending on the methods I try. The most common of messages I keep getting is "The device is not connected or busy" or " the battery is low" ( my phone is usually charged) --which I've continually verified and double-checked , but to no avail.
Has anyone experienced a similar problem?
Thanks!

Howdy folks! Same problem here since the iPhone 2.0.2 update. iPhoto says, "There are no items to import." And i double checked .. yup .. still 6 photos on my iPhone waiting to be transferred. And it's plugged into the same USB slot it always has been plugged into. And it's not on a USB hub. Nothing's changed except the 2.0.2 update earlier today.
Little help..?
Thanks a system heap!

Extracting photos from backup of iPhoto Library without iPhoto

I recently had to do a clean install of Mac OS X 10.7.5 because I had some funky file structures in my hard drive that were rendering my 8 year old Macbook unusable. I have a full Time Machine backup on an external hard drive and had to drag and drop what I wanted from the backup over to the cleaned hard drive as opposed to doing an automated restore (because I didn't want to restore the funky file structures that had screwed up my mac in the first place). So now I have everything I want back on the cleaned Mac except iPhoto won't open after being copied over from the backup. Fine - I didn't really care for iPhoto anyway so I don't want to buy it. Now I am trying to extract the photos from my backed up iPhoto library to get them on the Mac in plain old folders. I right click the library, select show package contents, select "originals" and then try to copy that folder to my cleaned hard drive - I get an error that I do not have sufficient permissions to do that. Same thing with any folder level.
I have tried iPhoto Library Manager - but that needs a working iPhoto application...
How can I get these photos out of this back up library without having to copy each one individually???? It's driving me nuts. grr.

Here's how to restore an iPhoto Library from Time Machine:

Extracting photos from a slide show

Sorry if the Subject is misleading. Here is my situation. I have a large iphoto library that has MANY duplicate pictures AND my wife painstakingly and loving created a very large slideshow with transitions, music etc. I would like to remove the duplicate pictures BUT I do NOT want to damage, change, rearrange any of the work that she has done. SO... My thought is to extract or copy or whatever the photos in the Slideshow to a temporary folder. do my cleanup work on the duplicates and then restore JUST the slideshow photos (I will live with a few dupes) The main issue is there does not appear to be a way to copy the photos OUT of the slideshow once they have been put in. The slideshow itself is not built on an album and she does add photos to the slideshow by dragging the photo from the even directly onto the slideshow marker on the left side of the iphoto window. All that being said all I want to do is get rid of the majority of my dupes and still preserve the work my wife has done. I'm not married to any particular way of doing this. Any/all help is much appreciated. Thanks!

Select all the files in the Slideshow and give them a rating - say 5 stars.
Now a Smart Album
File -> New Smart Album
Rating -> is -> 5 Stars
Will gather them outside the slideshow.
In that Smart Album Flag all the Pics.
Now switch back to Photos View and you will see all the photos from the Slideshow are Flagged. Don't delete them.
Regards

Can I extract photos from a slideshow?

I was given a slideshow someone made. It is identified as VIDEO_TS.VOB and opens in VLC. It won't play in Quicktime. Anyway, is there a way of extracting the original photos from the slideshow?
Thanks for any help you might be able to give.

N-h:
Unfortunately, no. A screenshot is the best you can do. The original photos were converted to a 640 x 480 size for use in a QT format movie. Maybe it's time to consider an external FW hard drive for backup purposes. It's very cost effective insurance against such loss.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How can I capture photos from iMovie 11?

Here is a video I made that steps through this...

Exporting a still photo from imovie...

How do you export a still photo with the cartoon effect applied from imovie?
Thanks.

Place your playhead on the frame that you want to save. In iMovie, go to File/Save Frame. In the resulting drop down box, select your format (in this case, JPEG) and your save destination (I use Desktop). When you save, you then will have on your desktop a JPEG of your still frame that you can import into iPhoto. But, the resolution will only be the DV video resolution of 640x480, which is not useful for much but e-mailing, sending to the web, or using in iMovie. Hope this helps.
