How can I extract a single frame from a DVD?

I have a DVD that contains a movie of some old slides.  Is there a way I can extract one image from the DVD?

pause and screenshot the video
To capture a portion of the desktop, press Command-Shift-4. A cross-hair cursor will appear and you can click and drag to select the area you wish to capture. When you release the mouse button, the screen shot will be automatically saved as a PNG file on your desktop.
There are screenshot tools in Imovie and others such as Final Cut Pro as well for higher resolution

  • How can I extract a still picture from footage in iMovie, add text to it and print it ?

    How can I extract a still picture from footage in imovie, add text to it and print it ?

    Assuming you have iMovie 11 (also known as Version 9.0.4), here is how you do it. (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 use this photo in Photoshop, Pixelmator, Acorn, or the app of your choice to add text.
    Here is a demo I made the other day for how to extract the still image using MPEG Streamclip.

  • How can I restore a single image from an aperture time machine backup, do I have to restore the entire library? that does not make sense

    I hope there has been found a more efficiant solution for this,  how can I restore a single image from an aperture time machine backup, I really hope I don't have to restore the entire library? that does not make sense
    any suggestions?

    Did you try browsing your backups in the Finder ?  That is, do not go and "Enter Time Machine".  Instead, navigate to your Time Machine backup via Finder and then manually go to the time period (by folder name) you are looking for ... when you find your Aperture library you can then "Show Package Contents" and find the Master you are looking for.

  • How can I delete a single song from my iPad?

    How can I delete a single song from my iPad?

    Hi lizdance40,
    The first part of your answer worked great, thanks for that!  However, since doing that, there are still songs on the iPad that I want to delete. I place my finger on the song, swipe to the left....and nothing. No red "delete" appears at the right. That used to work on my full size iPad, but not on this mini. I just purchased it last Friday...maybe it's defective?
    Thanks again,
    Sirsheila

  • How can I extract a bent CD from an Apple Superdrive?

    A bent CD has jammed in my Apple Superdrive. How can I extract it?

    Here's a list of generally accepted approaches:

    Depending on the Mac model you have, there may be other approaches, and there is always the Final Solution of cracking the case, pulling out the superdrive, and mucking with it directly. But don't go there unless you have to and/or are feeling a bit crazy.

  • How can I extract the two channels from a stereo track?

    Hi,
    I am writing a class that is able to draw an audio signal. It seems to be working well but I have a question. If I load a mono audio file I am able to draw it on a graph by using the byte[] array and everything is ok until now. That's the code:
    void Draw(byte[] x)
                Graphics g=getGraphics();
                Graphics2D g2=(Graphics2D)g;
                g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,                     RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
                for(int i=0; i<x.length-6; i++)
                    g2.draw(new Line2D.Float(((i*(getWidth()-6))/x.length)+5, (getHeight()/2)-          ((x*(getWidth()-6))/x.length), (((i+1)*(getWidth()-6))/x.length)+5, (getHeight()/2)-     ((x[i+1]*(getWidth()-6))/x.length)));
    The results is correct only if I have a mono track. Obviously when I get a stereo track the array becomes very large so here the question. How can I extract the two audio channels from a stereo track?
    Thanks in advance.

    A mono audio stream is stored [sample, sample, sample, sample], so just a list of samples in an array.
    A stereo sample is interleaved in the same manner, so you get [left-sample, right-sample, left-sample, right-sample]
    So every nth sample is the 1st channel, every nth+1 is the 2nd channel...

  • Why I can't export a single frame from my composition?

    I try to export a single frame from the cavas but motion just did nothing when I click on export. Is there something wrong with my motion setup? I have trashed the motion's plist couple times already but still having the same issue. I can't even save the project. When click on save, motion did nothing, just like export. HELP!

    I see that you are on an intel mac. Are you running the universal versions (Final Cut Studio 5.1 w/ Motion 2.1)?
    See this article for troubleshooting steps: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302596.
    When I am having major issues like this, I just start over from scratch. Do a complete erase and install with the OS discs, reinstall all applications and update everything with software update. I keep a separate partition just for film and video work that I can blow away any time (I don't store any important files on it).

  • Extracting a single image from a DVD

    I would like to know if Final Cut Pro or any of iMac programs have the factility to extract a single image (frame) from a playing DVD. If yes, once the image is captured into a Jpeg or Tiff, what is the best way to increase it's resolution good enough for lay into a book for printing. Or perhaps you know of any professional and high resolution programs that capture still images (frames) from a DVD. Thanks

    Seems a bit of a waste to have to capture a movie clip in order to get a still picture.

  • How can I extract a dates column from an ascii file

    I am extracting data from an ascii file and the rest of the data is extracted using read from spreadsheet, but the date appears as just the day e.g. 22 for 22nd, how can I get the date, format in ascii is e.g 22/04/2006, can I do this by specifying something at format of read from spreadsheet ? Cheers
    Emily

    Hi,
    I found the other day that there are instructions included inside the Read From Spreadsheet vi on how to modify it slightly to read strings rather than doubles.
    If you drop the Read From Spreadsheet  vi onto the block diagram and double click on it, you will open the front panel for the vi. If you then select the block diagram (for Read From Spreadsheet) you will see an 'instructions' frame below the main 'code', and the 3rd paragraph tells you how to modify the VI to read the spreadsheet as a set of strings rather then doubles. Save the vi as a new filename when you've edited it or you will overwrite the existing vi!
    Using the newly modified vi you can read in your entire spreadsheet, extract the dates as strings, then do any conversion necessary to the other columns of the sheet to change them into the types of value you require (eg doubles).
    I hope this helps.

  • How can I export a single frame as an image?

    Hi, I'd like to take single frames of video and use them in printed material. Its HDCAM, from a Sony EX1, edited on FCP 10.1.  How can I export them simply?
    Regards
    Phil

    Place the playhead on the frame you want as a still. Then in share window choose location Save Current Frame. You can then select options such as Jpg, PNG etc.
