How do I capture a single frame as a jpg

I used to be able to select a frame in the event window and add it to the end of my porject. Then I could reveal it in finder and use it in the drop zones. With iMovie 11 I don't seem to have the option anymore. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks

Yes.
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.
Here is a video I made that steps through this...
I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.

Capturing a single frame to make a still image

Hello,
I'm not sure how Apple terms this so I wasn't able to locate it in the Manual, but what I'm trying to do is a capture a single frame from our video so that we can turn it into a still image that we can use in our promotional material. Can anyone poing us in the right direction?
Thanks.

Recognize these images will be the same pixel dimensions as your original footage - e.g. DV = 720x480 (or 640x480 square pixels).
If you plan on doing this regularly and need good quality large images for print, it is very useful to have someone hanging around the set to shoot stills. Most video just looks awful when transformed into stills ...
good luck.

How can I export a single frame as an image?

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.

How can I capture a single video frame and save as an image in PS CS6 Extended?

I have checked similar posts on this subject, but I have a problem doing this:
I "File>Open" a video clip [.m2ts file type] into PS CS6 Extended.
PS sets the "Pixel Aspect Ratio" for "HDV 1080/DVCPRO HD 720 (1.33)"
PS then warns of "Pixel Aspect Ratio Correction" for preview purposes only, and that it should be turned off for maximum image quality.
I advance the "Timeline" to the specific frame I wish to capture.
I simply "File>SaveAs" for a JPG image - as has been suggested.
Both the On-screen and saved images are grossly pixelated at 1440 x 1080.
Furthermore, the saved image is an incorrect aspect ratio - regardless of how I have the "Pixel Aspect Ratio Correction" set.
It produced a jpg image size of 1440 x 1080 at 635 KB.
I clearly do not know what I am doing...
Have I missed a process - either with the file type I open, or once opened in PS CS6 and set to the desired frame?
Adobe Bridge will display each frame in a high-quality preview - which I could be happy with, but found no capture/save tool there.
I went back to the software that came with the video camera and saved a frame image from the video clip just fine.
It produces a jpg image size of 2304 x 1296 at 2.63 MB with the correct aspect ratio.
After you stop laughing ... can you let me know what I really need to do to get the correct result in PS CS6?

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.

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 to use single frame in a page

Hello, i would like to now how to make a frame in a page
without having two or more, i was used to work with GoLive and
there i could use the grid an put a single frame and make links to
other pages that would open in that frame, it worked wel for me,
but since I switched from golive to dreamweaver CS3 i am not able
to do so. Is there some one how could tel me how to do so, since i
use a lot of single frames in my pages,
greetings

why are you wanting to use single frames?
They allow having the initial frame address stay in the
address bar, and not
show the linked page's address. The problems they cause
usually override any
value.
Or- if we aren't using the same words the same way, please
give an example
site of what you want to do.

How do I position to panels in a single frame?

Hi,
Can someone tell me how i can position two panels in a single frame using the BorderLayout class.
I have included my code below. When it is run it shows two JPanels positioned at the top and the bottom, a text area to the right, a panel in the center and a panel on the left. I want to get the panel on the left - the yellow panel - to be positioned in the lower third of the center panel. I have tried to use the BorderLayout.SOUTH statement - but this positions the panel across the very bottom which causes the bottom JPanel and part of the text area to disappear.
Can anyone help with this please???
Many thanks

One solution would be to create a new panel, bothPanels and adding the two panels that you need to this panel.
Once you have done that, you can add bothPanels to contentArea.add( bothPanels, BorderLayout.CENTER)

Does anyone know how to add multiple pictures to a single frame in iMovie?

Does anyone know how to add multiple pictures to a single frame in iMovie?

Maybe you would be better off posting this in the iPhoto or iDVD categories of the forums.

http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=128
The answer to your question depends on what you ant to do with the DVD.
Do you want a DVD menu, slide show etc.
iPhoto will allow you to burn straight to a DVD. Just select the album you want to burn then go to share in the tool bar and select Burn.

Please How can I capture and integrate a single pulse of a DC signal from an external circuit

Hello everyone
I am trying to integrate a signal from an external circuit I have built. I want to capture just a single pulse from the signal and integrate it. Please can anyone assist me with how I can perform this?

The 6008 has no hardware analog trigger, so to capture a single pulse, you will need to trigger in software. It does have a digital trigger, so if you have a digital way to signal the start of your pulse, it would make your life easier. You will need to ensure you take enough data to get an entire pulse. At that point, use one of the trigger VIs to find the start (and possibly end) of your signal. Take a subset of your data and integrate it (LabVIEW does support integration).
If you have trouble finding anything, let us know. Find the trigger and integration VIs using the search feature of the palettes.

How do i export a single jpeg frame from a video file in final cut x

how do i export a single jpeg frame from a video file in final cut x

You can also use the 3 finger method of COMMAND+SHIFT+4, then drag across what you want to copy from the image. That will show up on your desktop, which then you can edit using Photoshop, if you want too.
You can then change the file format from a PNG to either a .JPG or TIFF or even a Photoshop image.
Make sure, you have stopped the playback, to what you want to save as a still.
Either method works, to make a still image from video.
