How do I create a freeze frame from footage and extend that for 5 seconds?

I have a quicktime screen grab movie I've imported, and I want to hold on a certain frame that's at the very beginning of the clip, and then proceed with the movie when the voiceover (separate soundtrack) gets to a certain point.
iMovie 11.
Thanks

Hi Doug,
Position the playhead/skimmer (vertical red line) at the very beginning of the clip. The playhead should snap to the first frame, provided you have this turned on in the menu item View > Snap to Ends.
Without moving the playhead, right-click (or Control-click) and select Add Freeze Frame from the pop-up menu. The default duration is 4 seconds (although this setting can be changed for individual projects in File > Project Properties). To adjust the duration in the timeline, double-click on the freeze frame to open the Inspector. In the Clip tab you can change the duration by typing in a new time.

    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.

    You don't.
    Slideshows are exported as movies and these are very large files. Email is not an appropriate medium for very large files as they can cause immense issues for the receiver.
    Better to share some other way.

  • How do I move a freeze frame from iMovie 11 as a photo into iPhoto?

    In prior versions of iMovie, I could isolate a freeze frame or still from the movie clip and then move it somewhere and it would become a regular photo to be manipulated in iPhoto.  How do I do that in iMovie 11?

    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.

  • I bought 2 songs from itunes and one plays for 43 seconds and stops and the other places for 1 minutes and 40 seconds and stops

    I bought the song "You" by Chris Young and the song "Yesterday" by the Beatles and they played fine for a period of time.  However one day about 4 months ago, when I would play either song, the song would play normal for an amount of time ( "You" for 1 minute and 42 seconds and "Yesterday" for 29 seconds) and then the song would stop playing on my iPod touch 3rd gen.  When I played the songs on iTunes, it would just go to the next song.  I contacted Apple support through email, and they responded promptly with a reponse and a solution!  The lady helping me accessed my account and made it so that the song "redownload" I guess because thats what happened when I signed on to iTunes and the two songs were loading.  Well I think I heard the songs once or twice and now they are doing it again!  The songs stops at those same times and will not play.  What is the solution?

    - Try a reset. it cures many ill and nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    - Does it play in iTunes on the computer?
    - Delete the song and redownload it by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - Ask iTunes for a redownload.

  • I need to know how I will create a dynamic website using php and mysql

    I need to know how will I create a dynamic website using php and mysql that people could have the abilities of registering in the website, and modify their profile where they can add their pictures and everything. apart from that, they should have the ability to search about other member. hope to here more from you.

    If you are a right-brained creative, and have no previous experience or propensity to be able to understand coding and database "stuff", and/or if your time can be better spent on other skills, I recommend you save your sanity and hire a developer... or at least the first time around. I have been attempting to grasp this for years... and have a library of marked up books to prove my efforts, all while trying to keep up with an ongoing client base that is always cramped. It's a wonder I still have my sanity... then again, I might not be the best person to determine that. Others might question it.
    That said, I still plan to master php... one of these days.

  • 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.

  • How do I create a still photo from a video in the new iMovie?

    How do I creat a still photo from a video in the new iMovie?

    I'll assume you want to create a still to use outside FCPX, not a still frame within FCPX.  It's kinda hidden in the "share."  Go File/Share/Add Destination.  You want "Save Current Frame."  After you've created that destination, it'll be there for you in the future under Share.

  • How do I create a JPG image from a clip

    I need to create a jpg image from a movie clip. Is making a freeze frame the same and creating a jpg?

    A jpg image is saved by FCE in a new file, while a freeze frame in FCE is a still picture used for a sequence in a project, but not saved separately.
    To make a jpg, position the playhead in the timeline on the frame you want to save and Export/Using QuickTime Conversion and select Format: Still Image.
    You are asked for a file name.
    To make a freeze frame, position the playhead in the timeline on the frame you want to reuse within the project and Modify/Make Freeze Frame. This leaves a new still in the viewer: you can drag it to the timeline, drag it to the browser, etc.. - However this does not create a separate file but stays embedded in the project where it is used.

  • Is it possible to move a freeze-frame from an imovie(9.0.2) clip to iphoto?

    Is it possible to move a freeze-frame from an imovie(9.0.2) clip to iphoto?

    Yes. You will need to download and install a free app called MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5.
    In iMovie, locate the video clip that contains the still you want. Right-click on the video clip and select REVEAL IN FINDER. You should see this clip highlighted in the Finder. Drag this video clip into MPEG Streamclip.
    In MPEG Streamclip, move the playhead to the video frame that you want to make a still from. Click FILE/CREATE FRAME...
    You can choose JPEG, TIFF, or PNG and give it a name and location.

    but not the usb iPhone i used to have.
    And when i try to add a new one i dont get a USB option.

    this is how it looks (after the bluetooth PAN i used to have USB iPhone option)

    The question would be more appropriate in the Mac forums as it is not really related to the iPhone.
