How do I create still photos from a video in iMovie?

I am looking to create a still photo from my video.  Is this possible?  Thanks for any help you can give.. 

If you want to create a still frame from within iMovie, move your playhead to the frame you want a still image from and ctrl-click. You'll get a slightly different option to create a still frame depending on whether you do this in the project or event window.
From the event window iMovie will add a still at the end of your project, from the project window it will add a still at the playhead.
If you wanted the still on your desktop rather than in iMovie, select the still, ctrl click and choose reveal in finder, copy the image to your desktop and undo your actions in iMovie to remove the still from the project.

    Put the playhead over the frame in the timeline and choose Modify>Make Freeze Frame. It will appear in the Viewer window. Drag it into the timeline.
    If you want a photo for iPhoto etc. put the playhead over the frame and select File>Export>Using QuickTime Conversion.
    In the window that opens change the "Format" setting to Still Image from the dropdown menu.

    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.

    You do not - use iMovie or an external editor that has this capability - I believe QuickTime Pro does

  • Create still photo from video

    iphoto 08, imovie 08. I have imported video from camera into both programs but can't find any options to choose a clip and convert it to jpg or something to create a still photo from the video. Is this possible?

    Stop the video at the desired point, press the Shift, Command, and 4 keys, drag the cursor so that the whole picture is highlighted, let go of the button, and open the PNG on the desktop.

    Click iMovie/About. If you have version 9.0.4 (iMovie 11) this will work. If you have an earlier version, this will also work, but there are also other ways.
    First, get an app called MPEG Streamclip, which is free. (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.

  • Still photos from a video to be used in another program

    I am new to iMovie. Is there a way to take a still clip from a video clip and make it into a jpeg or other photo to be used outside of iMovie? If so, what does it get named, and where would I find it to access it from a photo program?

    File menu->Save Frame As
    Choose JPEG, file name and file destination folder.

  • Create still photo from movie

    I'm obviously missing something very basic... I'd like to capture a still shot from a movie. Isn't there a simple way to do that? Thanks.

    Two ways to get a still:
    1) In project, move cursor to the frame. Right-click/add freeze frame. The Freeze frame is placed right behind the current clip in the project.
    2) Select a frame in an Event. Right-click/Add still frame to project. The still is added to the project at the end.
    (after doing either 1 or 2, continue with step 3)
    3) Right-click on the still frame in your project. Select "Reveal in Finder". Drag the JPEG file that you see and drop it on the iPhoto icon in the Dock.
    Hint: You can create a new project just for the stills. This way you will not clutter up an existing project.

  • Taking A Still Photo From A Video Clip

    How would I take a clip from one of my videos, and turn it into a still photo that can be edited and printed in iPhoto?

    A still frame from an Event:
    Put cursor at the frame you want, then right click (or command click) and select "Add Still Frame to Project".
    The still frame will be added at the end of the Project.
    A still frame from a Project:
    Put cursor at the frame you want then right-click (or control-click) and select "Add Freeze Frame". The Freeze frame will be added after the clip.
    In both cases:
    Select the still frame (so the yellow band is around it).
    Right-clicl (or control0click) and select "Reveal in Finder".
    You will see a JPG file highlighted in the finder.
    Drag this file and drop it on your iPhoto icon in the Dock.

  • How do you create a playlist from personal videos?

    I download music videos and save each one as a FLV file.  I view them by clicking on the file icon and AMP starts automatically.
    So my question is how can I create a playlist so that I can have AMP play one FLV file (a music video in this case) and then automatically play the next one and the next and the next...
    Similar to what iTunes does.
    Can this be done?

    Plug it into iTunes and create a playlist by dragging and dropping the songs you want into the new playlist

  • Is it possible to create a photo from a video in iPhoto?

    I have a short video from which I would like to create a still / standard photo.  Is there a way of doing this?
    Thanks

    iPhoto does not support to extract still frames. The quickest way to create a still frame in iPhoto is to view the video in full screen mode and to take a screenshot of the frame you want - simply type the key combination ⇧⌘3 . This will save a screenshot on your Desktop.
