How do I export a jpeg from iMovie 11?

I must admit, I am new to Mac and am happy to have converted, so be gentle on me.   I have read a number of the archived post, haven't found any recent posts, but I am unable to "reveal in finder".   I have attempted both methods, from event as well as project.  The capture is always 4 secs, do I need to make other adjustments?  It doesn't seem to work for me as described in the older posts.

Greetings Appleman,
I am a Geezer and totally baffled by some of these functions.  I first selected a clip, moved it into the "Project" window. Then selected the clip in iMovie project window, but when I "right click" I have no idea of where to find "Reveal in Finder."  it is not in the window that opens up with a right click.  (I get a whole list of functions from "Play, Play Selection, Loop Selection, -- Cut, Copy, Paste, etc., but nothing says "Reveal in Finder."  All I want to do is snatch a still photo out of my video.  Any suggestions?
OS X 10.6.8   iMovie 9.0.4

  • How do I export a file from iMovie that is larger than 15min?

    I currently made a video on iMovie that I would like to export. However everything I have tried ends with a message coming from iMovie saying the file is too long. I've heard of exporting to quicktime but in the share option i don't see quicktime. I haven't tried just putting a usb in and seeing if i can come how paste it in but i don't think that will work.
    Need this for Valentines Day any suggestions would be great!

    So early i tried to convert it into a file first and at first it said it didn't work. Then the file popped up, but i couldn't open it and this message popped up "To see if additional software is available that will enable QuickTime Player to open the movie, click Tell Me More.". Which was not useful at all. But after a while i guess it completed exporting and i can now access it as a file. Thought I'd share my experience.

  • How do I export 72ppi jpegs from InDesign without losing quality?

    I need to export indesign files that I design to 72ppi for web without losing any quality (or as minimal as possible). Countless times I have tried different methods, but alwasy manage to create a workaround, whether it be good quality, or just readable text. ITs really the small text I have the problem with. I explain in the below video my problem in further detail. But basically, I have tried many things such as pasted from indesign to photoshop, exporting to 300ppi jpeg and resizing in photoshop, exporting to 72ppi jpeg and viewing (not good at all), exporting as PDF, opening in photoshop ticking anti alias and inputting my dimensions... how can I get this to work?? Someone please help.. I have battled this problem for to long and my boss is getting annoyed with it. We need to fix this.
    Many people say to export to PDF and then open in photoshop and save as a jpeg from there.. but how can i export a PDF to 72ppi?? Please Adobe fix this issue in future editions of InDesign. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help

    You have it backwards. You export a PDF, and when you open it in Photoshop, that's when you pick the resolution. Any text in the PDF will likely be vector data, and it will be changed into bitmap data at the resolution you choose. I'll give you an example:
    I placed a 300ppi image (5.7MB Photoshop tiff) into an InDesign page with three captions (12pt, 9pt and 6pt). I exported the page as two different PDFs. One was set to High Quality Print (a1) and the other to Smallest File Size (a2). A1 came in at 446KB and a2 came in at 37KB. When opened in Photoshop, I picked 72ppi as the resolution, flattened and saved as an RGB Jpeg without color profile and quality setting of 12.
    The a1 jpeg was 180kb in size and a2 was 156kb, so not too far apart, considering the difference in file size between the PDF versions. If you open the jpegs in Photoshop, you will see that the size of the letter F at the beginning of the 12pt caption is nine pixels high in each, so if the problem you are having is that small text isn't readable, maybe the text is just too small to be readable at 72ppi.

  • How can I export individual clips from iMovie?

    I have 250 clips, but I want to export them ALL as individual clips, and not as a movie.  I have taken a lot of time to select these clips from many hours of video.  And I now need to get these clips to a post-production person for editing.  I wish to export them all as indivudual clips, and maintaining the original order.
    I can only find the way to export either a single clip, or an entire movie.
    Can anyone help me on this Thanksgiving morning??
    THANKS!
    Jim

    sorry I should have been a bit clearer.
    There are three sections I wish to export individually from the one sequence.
    I worked out that I could export multiple sequences within the same project, which is fine... but the ability to export separate sections from one sequence would be very useful...
    Cheers,
    And thanks again for your help.

  • How can I export HD video from iMovie to my Apple TV?

    In iMovie I have tried:
    Share>Export Using Quicktime>Movie to AppleTV
    I am not given the option to change any settings from this point. It then exports to 960 by 540, which I believe is 540P (standard definition). I'm not expecting to get the 1080P it was originally shot in (I mean, c'mon, it's not even the year 2010 yet), but does anyone know if I can at least export to 720P on my Apple TV?
    I have confirmed that it imported properly at 1080P.

    Apple does know:

  • How do I export a movie from imovie to a particular mobileme album

    The Mobileme Gallery option in the Share menu of iMovie does not provide for exporting to a particular mobileme album. What is the best way to do this?

    You can do it any of four ways.
    1) SHARE/to iTUNES
    In this case you can right-click on the movie in iTunes and select reveal in Finder. Then open Facebook's video import page and navigate to your movie.
    2) SHARE/to Media Browser
    I don't recommend this way because it is easy to inadvertently mess up an important file if you don't know what you are doing. But if you want to, you can find your movie inside the project RCPROJECT package in the movies folder.
    Then open Facebook's video import page and navigate to your movie.
    3) SHARE/to Movie
    You will get a dialog box allowing you to save the movie to a place of your choice. You can upload it to youtube from there.
    4) SHARE/Export to QuickTime. Here you can customize the setting of your video. Unless you have a great deal of knowledge about video and audio codecs, use the above options, which create great results for Facebook.

  • How do I export Full Quality from iMovie 11?

    Basically, I want to export a version in as high a quality as possible for archive purposes. So if in the future, I need to convert to as-yet-undeveloped file types, I have as close to the (edited) source as possible. iMovieHD had a "Full Quality" setting, but I don't find that in iMovie 11. The closest I've found is Apple Intermediate codec (which is what iMovieHD seems to have saved them as when set to Full)

    It creates a .dv file is the footage is standard def. The HD projects (1080i) saved as .mov files, intermediate codec. I think even though I imported the footage at "full", as soon as I added transitions, it seems to have down-converted to "large". So none of my export options deliver anything bigger than 960x540. I guess transitions force that?

  • How can I export a movie from iMovie onto a memory stick?

    I am unable to load my movie onto a memory stick. The movie is about 80minutes long or just under 12gigabites. I tried loading it first onto a 16g and couldn't then on a 32g and kept getting the same message: The file format was too big to fit on that memory stick. Is there a special storage device that I need to use?

    I thought I did, but looks like I didn't. Key word is "Partition." Then hit apply.
    Got it to work.
    Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you're my hero BobRz   

  • How do I import individual frames from iMovie into iPhoto?

    How do I import individual frames from iMovie into iPhoto? Or how do I export individual frames from iMovie into iPhoto? My final goal is to have a DVD of individual photos from a video I recently shot. Thanks

    Here is one way to do it, although you will see there could be variations.
    1) Open iMovie
    2) Start a new project - name it Stills for iPhoto (or a name of your choice)
    3) Go to your EVENT. Find the spot with the cursor that you want a photo of. Right-click (or control-click if you don't have a mouse) and select ADD STILL FRAME TO PROJECT.
    4) The photo should be in the Project called Stills for iPhoto.
    5) Right-click (control-click) on the photo and select REVEAL IN FINDER.
    6)When the finder window opens, right-click and select COPY. Go to your Desktop or a folder of your choice and right-click PASTE
    7) Drag the photo from your Desktop to iPhoto

  • How can I export a slideshow from iPhoto to iMovie 09.  I try but it only lets me import 211 out of the 311 photos I have in the slideshow.

    How can I export a slideshow from iPhoto to iMovie 09.  I try, but it only exports 211 out of the 311 photos I have in the slideshow I made on iPhoto.

    how do i change the format to the right one?
    Before you can decide what to do, you have to know what you are starting with. Sony MPEG-1 files would be converted one way while DivX or WMV files would likely be handled in another. Extraneous tracks can be removed directly with QT Pro but if you don't have QT Pro then there may or may not be other work around possibilities depending on the specific audio and video compression formats in use. The best place to start would normally be to double-clic the source file in iPhoto to open it in the QT Player. When it opens in the QT Player, check the "Inspector" window to see what it says on the "Format:" lines. This will tell you the type of audio and video content you are dealing with here. Then come and tell us so we can offer some specific conversion solutions.

  • How do I stop Quicktime player from auto-launching after I've exported a movie from iMovie 10?

    How do I stop Quicktime player from auto-launching after I've exported a movie from iMovie 10?
    It's really annoying for Quicktime player to auto-lauch!

    It may not be that simple David. They're using a "server" and some of the Apache software may want to launch QuickTime at boot.
    This isn't really a QuickTime question. It's a sever question best answered in those Discussion pages.

  • After exporting a video from imovie, to quicktime, the audio has been duplicated. How can I fix this?

    after exporting a video from imovie, to quicktime, the audio has been duplicated. How can I fix this?

    iMovie works best with uncompressed audio. If your track is MP3 or AAC, you may get better results by converting your track to the AIFF format and then using that in iMovie.
    You can do this in iTunes. Go to iTunes/Preferences and click the General button. On the General page, click the Import Settings button. Choose IMPORT USING: AIFF ENCODER.
    (note: remember what you changed it from so you can change it back later, before you import another CD)
    Now, in iTunes, select your track. Then click FILE/CREATE NEW VERSION/AIFF VERSION.

    Can there be any external hard disks - if so How is/are it/they formatted ? Must be Mac OS Extended (hfs) if used for Video.
    UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most but not for VIDEO.
    What this means in Your situation is above me.
    • free space on internal boot hard disk? How much ?
    Video codec
    • streamingDV, AIC etc. (not .avi, .mp4, .m4v, .wmv etc as they are containers not codecs)
    Pictures
    • in what format ? .jpg, .bmp, .tif, else ?
    Audio
    • from where/what format ? iTunes, .avi, .mp3, .aiff, else ?
    Trash the Preference file:

    Many users has not observed that there are TWO libraries.
    • Library - at root level
    • Library - in user/account folder - THIS IS THE ONE to look into
    from Luke Burns
    I fixed the problem.. but it was very, very strange. I had a very long section for credits and set the line spacing to 1.0.. for some reason this caused it. I removed it, and it worked fine. I put it back, and I couldn't preview or play the video.
    I don't know why that could cause that big of a problem, but it did..

    You need more free space on your hard drive.

    After phone support from apple I ended up creating a new project and adding all 117 clips back in individually till I found out what clips flagged and would not allow me to export. I had 3 I deleted and replaced and everything works now 1hr after tedious work....
    Where do Your material come from
    • Camera
    • External hard disk
    • USB-memory
    And all are connected so that iMovie can find it ?

    Shorter clips than 1,5 sec might be one of the culptrits
    Bengt cont.
    Set-Up might differ
    • Mac OS - most probably X.7 or more
    • iMovie version - more than iM'11 v. 9.0.4
    Action taken
    • Finalizing project - I never do as I never understood the gain to do so
    • Share as HD to iDVD - never give any gain but if it works the resulting DVD is less quality than if SD-quality was shared
    fps - set
    •I only use PAL (25fps)
