Freeze frame "settings" button missing in PRE8

After determing a frame to produce a still image from, I select the freeze frame function followed by the "Export..." button. This action opens the export frame window where in PRE v7 I had the "setting" buttons to use if required. This button is not available in PRE8! I used this settings button to correct the aspect ratio when required for a still image.
Has this function been removed in PRE8? If so, how do you correct the aspect ratio for a still image? Or if this function button is available, how do I get it to appear?
(I also note that "Export" in File > Export where I can access freeze frame settings in PRE7 is NOT active i.e. not available in PRE8. I think this is the same issue??)

Gazz,
Though I am anything but a "big button guy," I would like to see the Export>Still Frame (regardless of from whence it's accessed) be simplified in both Adobe programs, PrE and PrPro. When PrPro CS4 was introduced, they took a simple process and reworked it. Then, it took 8 steps, just to do a Still Frame! With CS 4.2, things got better, but they forgot to add back in the "Add to Project" setting from earlier versions. About half the time, I do this. With a checkbox, that was easy. Half the time, I left it checked, and the other half, I unchecked it. Now, in PrPro CS4.2, it takes about 3 more steps to add the Exported Still Frame to the Project.
What I would like would be a single button, and the ability to establish a default Preset, especially a custom one. The only dialog would be, "Add to Project?" and it would be a simple radio button. Maybe even allow the user to customize that in their custom default, with a potential override available, if needed. I'd do this for both PrE and PrPro. It would take moments to set up, and then would be just a click away.
Good luck,
Hunt

Settings for best quality freeze frame export?

Hi. I've done some reading in the search for this topic here, but I'm finding a lot of how-to's for exporting freeze frame, but not proper settings.
Using DV NTSC 29.97fps, I know it's far from ideal to get great quality still frames, but, I have a client who was disappointed with her photographer at her wedding and really liked my work and she is willing to pay me to go through and pull off stills from her wedding video.
I do this for virtually every wedding but I just use basic settings because the still frames are used for not more than dvd menu or perhaps a small image on the back of the jewel case.
But if she wants to print these then I'm wondering if someone here can offer suggestions on the proper settings to make them not only the best quality, but the proper dimensions.
Thank you,
Eric
(soon-to-be-proud-new-owner-of-a-macpro-!)

From DV NTSC, your exported still frame will be just 720x480 pixels. Use any image editor to resize that to 720x534 (if it is NOT widescreen) or 864x480 (if it IS widescreen).
( Looks horrible doesn't it? You can't get any better quality than that, just because you - or she - wants to.)

Chroma Keyer and overlaying an object in FCE on a freeze frame.

I seem to have lost my notes in a recent move, need help. I shoot sports footage and I am using FCE. I have a series of 2 second freeze frames that I nedd to overlay a green arrow (pdf imported from Pages.) What are the steps using chroma keyer to 1. get rid of all the matter other then the green arrow (with the dropper) 2. anchor the arrow over a point and 3. rotate arrow to point at subject. I vaguely remember it being fairly straight forward but I am missing something.
Is there a way to get the pdf or jpg arrow removed from it background before importing into FCE......so I can just import the arrow shape and not the page?
Many Thanks

The easiest way to do this is to convert the graphic (the arrow) to one with a transparent background, then you won't have to do any keying at all.
Open you PDF file in Preview.app.
Save the file as a .png file.
Now you should have the arrow as a .png file loaded in Preview.
In the toolbar, click on the triangle nest to the Select button, and choose "Instant Alpha"
Click down and drag you mouse a slight bit on the background you wish to remove, and release the mouse button.
The background should now be selected.
Press the Delete key.
The background should now disappear, leaving just the arrow.
Now save your document again.
If you now import your .png version of the arrow into FC, you can just place it above the video you want it to appear on and it will automatically be keyed correctly.

Anamorphic timeline makes 14:9 freeze frames

Hello
I'm using FC Studio (5.0.4) and working on a DV Pal anamorphic timeline (the final footage will be played out as 16:9 fha). The problem I'm having now is that if I make a freeze frame it comes out as 14:9. This wasn't happening when I was working on it on Friday and I haven't changed any settings. Afterwards I did start working on a 16:9 fha project, but I don't think that should alter anything.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Louise

Make sure that the viewer is set to "Show Square Pixels" in the little oval button in the central top area of the Viewer on the left side of the three oval buttons.

CAPTURE PROBLEM - FREEZE FRAME

Hello
Its me again....see thread ID=1881846. After getting FCE to capture great for the past two days; this morning I now get the freeze frame problem. The audio is great, just a freezed frame from the beginning of what I am capturing. I don't think anything changed since last night. I made a bunch of great captures and then shut down and this morning started up to start more captures.
I searched the forum - disk permissions, took out PERIAN; but now I am at a loss.
What am I missing!

My gradson got ahold of my grandaughters IPod touch and I no longer have a settings button. The time and date on this is wrong. How can I fix this problem.

I need help... I no longer have all of the buttons on my IPod touch screen. My grandson got a hold of it and boom.. The time and date is wrong also, and I have no access to fix this problem. There is no settings button.
Any help would be appreciated.

Assuming that by buttons your mean the icons for various apps are missing, use the Spotlight search feature (double click the Home button and go all the way to the left past the music controls) and search for: Settings. Go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Screen layout and also correct the time inthe Genera settings.
The Setting app can't be deleted or hidden via Restrictions.

How do I export a freeze frame in CS4?

There's no longer an "Export/Frame" menu option in CS4 (as there was in CS3).
How can I export a simple freeze frame from Premiere into another editing program, such as Photoshop?
Thanks.

I've torn out half my hair trying to answer the same question. I think I have an answer and it had nothing to do with the many hours I've spent in Adobe's help and Forum to get an answer. I had to figure it out myself.
Here it is: Because CS4 handles HD video, they don't export straight to JPEG. They export to TIFF which is higher resolution than JPEG. That's my guess, anyway. To export a frame grab, go to FILE>EXPORT>MEDIA. On the top right side of the window in the Format box, click the down arrow to open the list and select TIFF. Click Okay.
Another box will open up. This is the Adobe Media Encoder window. Yeah it's new to me too.
The file you are trying to export should show up in the box with all it's wonderful detail including where you want it to go. If you want to change the name of the exported frame, click on the 'Output File' portion of the detail and a 'Save As' window will pop up and you can rename the file. Otherwise, CS4 will give it a generic name for you and you'll have to go find it.
When you get done click 'Okay' and it takes you back to the Media Encoder window. From there click on 'Start Que' and the file gets saved. Click on the upper right X and the Media Encoder window closes. There is no 'Done' or 'Close' button that I can find.
Somehow I got my file to save as a JPEG the first time but I'm unable to duplicate my steps now, so just know that it can be done and be willing to experiment a little from here. If you click on Add, it offers the JPEG format but it's trying to OPEN a file instead of SAVE. I'll have to keep working on that part.
I hope this helps. These turkeys at Adobe should hire me as a troubleshooter and manual writer - I spend a lot of time trying to figure out things they don't document in the manual or help files. As for the Forum - they can stuff that, it's useless. This should be an exquisitely simple task - we all do frame grabs. But they've made it into a monstrous chore.

Trouble with making a freeze frame?

Hello All,
I need some help with something I'm trying to do. I have a short clip in my timeline that I have color corrected and added some filters to. Then I move the playhead around until I find a still picture that I like and then I go to Modify>Make Freeze Frame and then I move the still from the viewer over to the section that hold all the files. The trouble is that when I make the freeze frame FCE is giving the version before I did color correction or adding the filters. How do I get to make a freeze frame that has been color corrected? It's showing me the raw version before I've done anything to it.
Thanks for your help.
MIke

When the freeze frame is created in FCE, it is only from the master clip (with no filters applied). Simply drag the filters that you applied to the clip to the new freeze frame. The filters will be applied with the settings you made.

Imovie11 splitting clips and freeze frame problems

I am having a problem with imovie11 splitting cips and using the freeze frame function. When I highlight the clip I want split, it splits a different clip either on the line below it or somewhere else in my project! Also, my freeze frame function freezes the frame where my playhead is BUT doesn't split the clip...so what I'm left with is the entire clip- then the freeze frame - then the continuation after the freeze frame. Is there a fix for this??

Remove any in or out points you have on the timeline. Place the playhead at the frame on the timeline you want to freeze, and then select Modify > Make Freeze Frame, the freeze should appear instantly in the viewer. You can then click the Overwrite button, and the freeze should now be placed on the timeline in the correct place.
Is this not happening?

Had problems with my broadband going down at weekend, since it came back on unable to join wifi BT say it is because my wifi settings are missing on my iPad can anyone tell me where to find seething details IP address etc

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

HT204291 Since upgrading to iOS7, i have experienced issues with Airplay button missing

Since upgrading to iOS7, i have experienced issues with Airplay button missing from the control menu as well as in Spotify. It is as if airplay is not runing. A temp fix: Reboot of the ipad mini (Home button+standby) Is there anything permanent?
I have verified that my iPad mini and apple TV is up to date.
Airplay enabled, the network is connected with internet.
It is as if, airplay is a service that just stopped working and has to be restarted again via a reboot.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
The following article(s) may help you.

Easy way to create freeze-frame in CS4

I've tried following the help instructions in PPro CS4 to make a 10" freeze-frame of the last frame in a sequence, but it seems rather complicated and to be honest I haven't got it to work for me. Avid has a dedicated command for this function which is very easy to use.
I only was able to get it to work by exporting a still of the last frame and then reimporting it into my project.
Is there an easier way of doing this please?
Chris

There is Frame Hold, and the Help File has pretty good coverage of the ins-and-outs.
Personally, for most of my Freeze Frames, I use your workflow, and just Export/Import.
Note: things changed with CS4, and got complicated, until about the CS4.2 update. I think that the updates are up to CS4.3. If you have not updated to at least CS4.2, I would do that.
While I am not a fan of a "big button" solution, I think that having such for Export Still Frame, and then automatically (via a toggle ON, or OFF) Importing into the Project would be a good one. In earlier versions of PrPro, things were easier. I use the Export/Import Still more for creating Menu animations for use in Encore, rather than traditional Freeze Frames, but feel that things could be much easier, than they are, even with the updates.
Good luck,
Hunt

How do I save a freeze frame directly to project bin? Pr CS5 on HP pc

When I freeze a frame, it allows me to change formats-which is great. But, I want the path to go directly into the project bin (CS2-the last version I used) did this automatically, or there was a setting set up for that. Now I have to click import and then import each one.
I am using CS5 Master Collection Student/Teacher addition
Windows 7 on HP Pavillion Elite

It would be great to get that feature back. Would you submit a feature request (you have to click the link in the above post-from Adobe) or try this: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform ? I did it and it only took a few minutes. Maybe the more requests sent in, it will be able to be added.
Boxes you need to input: (cut and paste request if ya want)
Product Name: Adobe Premiere Pro
Name:
Email:
Click Feature Request
Product Name: Adobe Premiere Pro
Version: CS5
Feature Request: Please fix the freeze frame feature in CS5. In older vesions you were allowed to set the path to save the freeze frame directly to the project bin in the current/working project. It is nice that there is a button for the freeze frame , but the feature to go DIRECTLY to the project bin is gone so we have to take an extra step in editing and import and search and that is a waste of time. Thank you.
