How do I cut a single frame from a clip and use it as a photo in iPhoto

I would love to cut a frame from a clip in an iMovie project I have and then use that cut as a photo in I photo. Can I do it and how.
I'm under the gun and if you are insomniac and you want to answer right away, please go right ahead.  thank you

You can install an App called MPEG Streamclip or you can simply pull up the clip in full screen and take a screen shot using (command+shift+3) or using (command+shift+4) to click and drag to create a box around what you would like to take a snap shot of.

  • How do i create a still frame from a clip in iMovie 11? thanks

    Good morning. How do I create a still frame from a clip in iMovie 11.  Thanks

    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.

    The advantage goes to FCP7 if you allow that it can copy and paste filters, audio and video, transformations, and other attributes separately.
    You can do that in FCPX too, as all the things you cited are listed separately in the inspector.
    Here's a little gotcha. Let's say you've color corrected a few clips and you've applied an effect to one and want to paste it the other clips. You switch off color correction and copy the clip. You select the other clips and paste effects. What do you think happens? The effect is applied, but the color correction is applied as well, only it's switched off as it was in the first clip, so all the color correction on the other clips is lost. Fun, eh?
    I'll try to replicate your gotcha - but no, that doesn't sound like fun at all!

  • Can I take a frame from my project and use it as a custom menu background with CS4 and its Encore

    My project is edited in CS4.
    I moved it to Encore CS4.
    I don't want to use any of the supplied menu templates in CS4 Encore.
    I was hoping CS4 would be all I needed to create custom menus using scenes from my project.
    My question is: Can I take a frame from my project and use it as a custom menu background with CS4 and its built in Encore or do I need some other element from the Adobe catalog to make these custom chapter menus and sub-menus?
    Thanks Jim

    OK, I'm back. Here are my steps for creating Custom Menus with PS, En and PrPro:
    In PrPro, move the CTI (Current Time Indicator) to the desired Frame. Check Frames on either side, with the Program Monitor’s Magnification to 100%, or maybe even 200% (you’ll need to scroll, but get a really clear picture). You want the clearest Frame in that area. With AME, in CS4, you’ll want to Export that Frame as .TIFF, or .BMP. I use .TIFF for this.
    Now, for a caveat. When you Import this Exported Frame into Photoshop, be sure to check the specs., especially the PAR. You may have to use Image>PAR to adjust this to match your Project’s specs. Or, all might be perfect - just check this out.
    Now, at this point, I choose the Library Menu, Blank, so that everything is setup. One can create the Menu from scratch, but careful attention needs to be paid to the exact naming conventions. At the very least, unless you’ve done this dozens of times before, use that Blank Menu, or similar as a guide, so you get things done, as they must be done.
    Using that Blank Menu, just drag the Layer from your Exported Frame to your Menu image. It will appear above the black Background.
    Add, or manipulate your Button Layer Sets, as is required, keeping them together. Remember that Button #1 will be the Button Layer Set, that is lower down in the Layers Palette. This can play a roll with Button Routing, back in Encore. Lower Button Layer Sets will have lower Button numbers.
    Now, I always rename my Button Layer Sets, keeping the required characters - just changing the name. I also do all of my Button text in PS, and make sure to turn OFF Sync Button Names.
    When done, Save_As .PSD, and then Import_As_Menu into Encore. Note: if you start with the Blank Menu, you can choose Edit in Photoshop, and then when done in PS, you just need to Save, and it will update in Encore. This is a personal workflow choice. I do the Edit in Photoshop route, but it is not necessary. One just needs to Import the resulting .PSD into Encore with Import_As_Menu, so that Encore does all the things that it needs to and recognizes the .PSD as a Menu.
    When deciding what to base your Menu on, remember that you can "populate" your Menu with Buttons from the Functional Content. I’d suggest studying these Assets, and picking the ones that work best for you. You can still alter/edit those back in PS, so you just need to "get close."
    Pay special attention to the required naming conventions. You cannot deviate from those first characters in the Button Layer Sets. They MUST be followed.
    If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask.
    Good luck,

  • How to deactivate the flex builder licence from one machine and use it on other machine

    Hi,
    I have a "Flex builder 3" licence running on my machine.
    I have to deactivate that and use it on another machine.
    How should I do that? As there is no otpion in flex builder.
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Tushar

    What happens when you just install Flex Builder on the other machine and enter the serial number? I was not aware of Flex Builder having a mechanism that tracks activations like the Creative Suite products.

  • 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 hide or remove several areas from a clip and create a generator

    Hello dear comnunity,
    I'm in an urgent need an assistance:
    I need to proeuce a video of a screen recoding.
    I'm using Camtasia in order to record. The meterial is pretty static.
    The problem:
    I have a lot of information on the screen while I'm recoding which I'd like to remove in post.
    Basically what you see is a poker table. Each circle represents a player.
    What I need is to be able to "remove" all these colorful numbers in order to provide with a "cleaner" look.
    I understand that this can be accomplished by "layers" i.e.
    Use this as a "background":
    and then remove all of the areas with the colorful numbers.
    In short:
    I'd like to remove multiple areas from a single clip without having "holes".
    Note:
    Since I producing multiple vidoes I would like to be able to have some sort of effect\preset\generator etc in order to automate the process every time.
    I have FCP X as well as Motion 5.
    I saw some split screen generators with multiple areas. It looks like what I need but I do need to make my own custom splits.
    PLEASE try to provide with detailed information as much as possible. I'm not a noobie but not an expect as well.
    Thanks in advance, I really really appreciate your assistance.

    By default, the toolbar cannot be hidden.
    However, you can add button items to the toolbar, hook up to the event handlers, and create new menus and menu-items in your gadgets.
    What version of Smart Space are you using? The SDK is slightly different between 9.3.1 and 11.1.x
    There are ways to work around the toolbar and do some other slick UI renderings in regards to these topics.
    Please drop me an email and we can have a phone conversation around what you are trying to do. I may be able to provide some ideas for you.

  • How can I delete the audio track from a clip and have no audio associated?

  • 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).

  • How to make separate/individual text frame from one parent frame in indesign with javascript

    Hi all,
    Please suugest - how to make separate/individual text frame from one parent frame in indesign with javascript.
    Thanks
    Rohit

    @Larry – ah, your interpretation could be the right one…
    May I rephrase the question:
    "How to split threaded text frames to single ones?"
    "SplitStory.jsx" or "BreakFrame.jsx" under Scripts/Samples indeed could be the answer.
    From the comments in the code of "BreakFrame.jsx":
    //Removes the selected text frame (or text frames) from the
    //story containing the text frame and removes the text contained
    //by the text frame from the story.
    //If you want to split *all* of the text fames in the story, use the
    //SplitStory.jsx script.

  • 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,
