How do I ceate a Still Clip in imovie 08

In imovie HD I used to create stills quite often. I found this very useful as sometimes I may have missed that perfect pose with my still camera. The clip was created as a Qtime file but was easily converted to .jpg with an external App.
Does anyone know how to create these 'Stills" in imovie08?
Thanks,
Steve

+The clip was created as a Qtime file but was easily converted to .jpg with an external App.+
That is because you did 'Create Still Frame,' but if you had selected 'Save Frame As,' you could have chosen JPEG directly from the drop-down menu and had the JPEG on your desktop without having had to use an 'external App.'
Didn't check this out in iMovie 08 when I played at the Apple store, but probably those options are not there

    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 get home video clips from iMovie Mac to iMovie iPad?  Surely there is some degree of cross-compatibility?  I have a load of clips in iMovie on my MBP that I wanna download to my iPad2 so that I can edit movies on the move.  Any ideas?  (The clips are in a .mov format, they have been imported / converted into this format in iMovie, original files were from a JVC camcorder in some other strange format.)

    I copied the iTunes file from the external drive and it's in both places.  I thought all I would need is the iTunes program (which I downloaded to new computer) and my iTunes library file.  There must be something else that's missing.  My iTunes library looks the same on the new computer as it does when I open it on the external drive.  If I click on an iTunes library song from my new computer, it will only play if I have the external drive plugged in.
    My back-up drive is a mess.  I have multiple copies of music, video, photo, and document files and I don't know how that happened. ={  Obviously, I don't know how to back up stuff properly and there are back-up files extending over a 6- to 8-year period.  I think all I did was just drag and drop the main folders from the back-up drive to the same main folders on the C: drive.  Also (and I'm kind of fuzzy on this) Windows used to automatically save music files in a folder within my document files (which makes no sense to me).  As my Jewish friends would say, "Oy Vey!"

    Hallo!!  how can i delete a rejected clip in iMovie 10.0.7?? Or is it not possible??

    You can delete a complete clip which is not in use in any project by right-clicking it and choosing "move to trash".  It won't actually appear in the trash can but will be permanently deleted when you quit iMovie.

  • How do you speed up video clips for Imovie 8?

    How do you speed up video clips for Imovie 8?

    Do you mean get 55 minutes of real time footage to show in only 55 seconds?
    One way that might work but it will take a fair bit of work in multiple repeated steps.
    Select all the footage on the timeline and then use the Turtle/Rabbit slider to speed it all up to the maximum speed allowed. This of course won't be any where close to 55 seconds.
    BUT... export your movie back out to video tape or to a full quality DV format quicktime file. This speeded up version becomes "normal" time. Now reimport to iMovies. Since this is now normal speed as far as iMovie is concerned, you can again use the slider to speed the whole thing up to the max.
    Now just repeat as often as needed to get it as fast as you want. Export back out, reimport, adjust speed, export, import, adjust, etc.

  • How do I make a still frame in iMovie and send it to iPhoto?

    How do I take a still frame from a movie clip in iMovie and send it to iPhoto?
    The goal is when I export my movie to iDVD, I want to use still clips from my movie as the rotating images. Right now it either plays through the DVD in the rotating part or I can drag pictures from iPhoto into the slots.
    Thanks!

  • How to import 150 .mov (quicktime) clips into iMovie '11?

    Hello,
    Newbie to iMovie and having some trouble.  My wedding videographer took off with my wedding footage (and the footage of 100 other couples.)  Through the police and some of my own detective work, I was able to seize my wedding footage and have it on an external hard drive.  I have already spent thousands of dollars trying to recoup my footage and now that I finally have it, I don't have the extra money to have it made into an actual movie/dvd.
    All of the more than 150 clips are in .mov format and I am unable to import them into iMovie that way.  Any ideas on how to convert that many HD clips into a file that iMovie will recognize without losing video quality & sound?
    For tech info:
    iMac 10.8.3
    iMovie '11
    Clip Info:
    Dimensions: 1920x1080
    Codecs: H.264, Linear PCM
    Color Profile: 1-1-6
    Audio Channels: 2
    Thanks for your help!  This community is a great amazing resource and I appreciate anyone who takes the time to offer suggestions.
    Katie

    I did it!  I realized after 2 hours of it not working, that I was doing it 1 step wrong.  I was trying to import the actual file with all the clips, rather than just the clips themselves...  Silly error, and the import of .mov files into iMovie was seemelss..  Quality is great and didn't take long.  Thanks again.

  • How to link two video stills clips tracks 1 and 2 ?

    Hi,
    I have two matching stills, one is marked up with guidelines as to where I wish the pan window to go, this is on video track 2, on track 1 is the pure image less these guidance notes. I have turned off default scale to frame size and this imported montage 'still' is larger than my project size. I now hope to position the still with the guidance lines and area showing start of pan for frame 1 and have the underlying matching image on track1 take up the same position also.
    I thus need to link both images so that moving the one moves the other. How do I do this ?
    Currenly I can move the track2 image but track 1 image doesnt follow with it.
    Once I have indicated using keyframes the path I want to follow, I shall turn off track 1 and have Premiere create a movie just with the good image showing.
    How do I link the two image tracks together ?
    I am otherwise following a tutorial at http://www.savevid.com/video/create-an-advanced-photo-montage-in-premiere-pro.html which does the montage pan though I have just one photo, on tracks 1 and 2.
    Envirographics.

    Hi,
    I have followed this advice, the pan route is now perfect along with some tweaking of the bezier handles to make it go straight along the top from west to east..
    However on the monitor it plays with comb like artefacts along edges , on the produced avi file from Export>Movie, one sees double, a balloon has two strings for example. Humans have a ghosted edge all around them. As the image stops moving at end of the pan I see the two ballon strings get closer and become one just as the pan ends. Its blurred, I also see tide marks in some places, back of a guys shirt, as if its in 256colour mode !Written using an authoring prog to dvd the TV playback is no better. Just nothing like the stills in the same  video from which a montage was made to use for this Ken Burns effect. Why is the pan a mess ? It was a bit jerky on the PC, I hoped TV viewing would see an improvement.
    I have done a right-click on the image, Field Options and checked Flicker Removal as seen in a thread, made no difference.
    I'd also Crop the vertical in PS to just what was needed for the Project's/Sequence's vertical Frame dimension.”…done that
    Project is:- , custom size 1152 x 768 PAL square pixel into which I brought a montage 3754 x 1221 also square pixel. This yields crisp detail even when zoomed in on in photoshop. So why the jerky double image effect ?
    I have read that Premiere is not as good as this as dedicated programs, another suggestion was do it in After Effects but I dont have that, and these other progs are $200 and I had expected more quality than this. Article at http://vimeo.com/3181326 didjnt get these problems.
    What have I not done or overlooked ?

  • How do you print a still clip from a 1440 x 1080i CS5.5 timeline

    The still image from a CS5.5 timeline in Photoshop looks ok but, prints thinly ..ie., distorted.
    How do you get it back to look right ?

    Hi Curt,
    I have discovered by using  Image>Transfer>Perspective in Photoshop I can distort the image horizontally and it will then print nearly perfectly. It is a bit hit and miss, but, you can see the result on the Epson R800 printer window.

  • Setting Duration of Photos (still clips) in iMovie '11 Does Not Work

    Howdy -
    I realize there are already similar posts to this one, but so far as I could tell, most of them involve (& focus on) transitions, whereas my issue is strictly with setting the duration for which a photo is held in iMovie.
    Effectively, I am trying to get a 'stop motion' feel from iMovie. I deselected the auto-apply 'Ken Burns' to all photo imports in the project preferences and figured I would edit the photo duration afterwards, given that the shortest possible duration in the project preferences is 1s, which is much too long. That is where I run into trouble: the "duration" field is acting up a great deal - sometimes it won't even respond to my entering different numbers, other times it will. Sometimes when it does respond to my typing numbers, it won't let me type anything in the decimal position. When it does let me type something in the decimal position, e.g. 0.2s, when I hit enter, it re-sets the time to 2.0s. I've tried different formats for entering time (0:00:2; 0:00:02; 0,2; with & w/out 's' etc) - all to no avail.
    I'm very curious to know if anyone else has reported this problem, & if so what the solution is.
    In case anyone else is having this problem, I did find a workaround:
         1. Import your photos as necessary
         2. Select one photo and manually crop to desired time scale (e.g. 0.3s)
         3. "Trim to selection"
         4. Select that same clip & bring up the window for editing the duration, check the "apply to all stills" box.
         5. voila - amazingly this works.
    Although this is a perfectly easy workaround, I'm a little disconcerted by the fact that iMovie won't repond properly & would be very interested to understand why.
    Thank you in advance for your help.
    Kind regards,
    Rax.

    Hi Rax,
    This may not help, but in iMovie Preferences there is an option to display time down to the frame level. So, rather than entering time as a decimal, you enter each time component separated by a colon. So, 2.5 seconds would be entered as 2:15 - that's 2 seconds and 15 frames (for NTSC or 30 fps formatted video).
    See this screenshot:
    As I mentioned, this may not help. At times I've also had trouble adjusting the duration of stills, even though I have my preferences set to display time at the frame level. Transitions can cause issues with stills duration. In most cases, a transition can be no longer than half the duration of the shortest clip on either side.
    Notwithstanding the transition methodology, my feeling is that there is a bug in iMovie that causes problems with stills duration in certain circumstances. This applies to both iMovie '09 and iMovie '11 (also possibly '08).
