How Do I Export A Menu Frame?

I need a menu frame as a reference for object placement on an overlay I will be creating later. I haven't seen a way to do this yet. Template resource files are not useful, AFAICT. Any DVDSP guru help appreciated.

Hi There
AFAIK there's no way of 'exporting' a still frame out of DVDSP as it were.
How have you created your existing menu? If you're using a template menu there are two ways you could go 1) do a quick build of the project only using the menu - then using Mpeg Streamclip (freeware) select the correct .vob and select Export Frame from the File menu - bring it into Photoshop, rescale into the correct screen preset and that should give you a fairly accurate overlay (I wouldn't outline text using this method though) or 2) depending on how accurate you need to be (if there is a bit of room to move between the selected item and your overlay) you could just use the Grab function in Utilities to do a screen grab of the area then import this into Photoshop - rescale it into a approp. screen preset and that'll give you a down'n'dirty guide.
Hope that helps
Cheers

How do I export a .MOV frame as a PNG?

How do I export a .MOV frame as a PNG? Currently, I can only seem to export as a .PCT through "Export Movie to Picture", even when I select "Use: PNG".
Currently, the workaround I use is to export using "Export Movie to BMP", and then converting to PNG with an image editor (but this would be unnecessary if QuickTime is capable of a direct conversion to PNG).

It doesn't seem to be a simple as simply changing the extension.
I ran into this problem when trying to masquerade a QT pct file as a png file as a preview for a flash video. When embedded in the flash player, it would not appear in any browser. (BTW --- It appeared just fine as a plain img in any browser.)
Here was my rather specific fix, which shows that simply changing extensions doesn't always fool every application:
1. Open the png file in a text editor (in my case, emacs) which will let you edit binaries as ASCII text.
2. Look through the file. Assuming that non-ASCII characters are shown in octal with a preceding \, you'll see the following
\377\377\211PNG
3. Delete everything until just after the two \377 characters, so that the file starts with \211PNG. (If you are editing in hex, look for ff ff 89 50, and delete up through the ff ff.)
4. Save the file.
After doing this, it embedded just fine.
So.... simply swapping the pct extension for png isn't a true fix in all ways. I'm guessing that pulling off the start of the file tears off the wrapper alluded to above.

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 export a menu created in Premiere Pro CS5 to Adobe Encore CS5?

Hey everyone,
First time in here. Trying some new things in CS5. Anyway, I created a working DVD menu in Photoshop and brought it into Premiere to lay in some video and music. The video is an inset that moves from left to right and sits atop the background created in Photoshop. The file looks great in Premier and now I'm wanting to know how I can export this file so that it is a working menu in Encore and is the first play item for my completed DVD. Can this be done? Looking forward to the answers.
GD

There are some very good Encore tutorials for making motion and video menus on www.lynda.com that you might find helpful. If I understand what you are trying to do though, I don't think there is a direct method to accomplish what you want.
Let me ask you first, does the video inset that is moving across the screen have to continually be moving, or can you live with it moving from point A to point B at the start, then stop and become a normal menu with the video inset stationary?

How can I export a single frame as an image?

Hi, I'd like to take single frames of video and use them in printed material. Its HDCAM, from a Sony EX1, edited on FCP 10.1. How can I export them simply?

Place the playhead on the frame you want as a still. Then in share window choose location Save Current Frame. You can then select options such as Jpg, PNG etc.

How do I export a still frame

How do you export an imovie still frame to other formats such as jpg

Yes I'm *sure* there's no storboard in my version. Though I think it's a matter of how they are calling it. In my opinion, apple likes to give features, which are already there, a new name and enhances them a bit (graphically for one part) in every new version (think of "conversation view" in Mac os x lion mail.app). But that aside.
I have to look again if I find something like the "show in finder". But what I meant, was that I don't have the storyboard in the appearance you guys (with your iMovie '11) havewith all those extras like sorting clips in medium shot, wide shot, etc. In my iMovie, it's just a block of clips and not one of the three categories (outline, storyboard, shot list).
That's my imovie (what I think you mean with "storyboard" is my upper left corner)
That is your storyboard:
What I found in my iMovie was the "add freeze frame"-method in my "bunch-of-clips"-section (storyboard).
What I found quite possible is to adjust the slider so i can see every second after makeing a freeze frame. Next, I can select less than a half second and when exporting that part as jpgs (with calbe's method), I don't have so many pictures. As I mentioned before, it's not so sophisticated. (Not without thinking, apple seems to have made this particular part better in iMovie '11.)

How can I export a freeze frame into a JPG or Tiff file?

I would like to export a freeze frame from my Final Cut Ten timeline onto my desktop for transfer. I'm not sure how to do this. It was a lot easier to do in Final Cut Express. Any help please?

Now it's added into the preferences. Put the playhead over the clip you want. Then go to the Share button and you'll see Save Current Frame

How do I export a menu screen as a jpeg or image file

Hopefully someone can help me out with this...I'm trying to take a menu screen that I've built in DVDSP 4 and export it as a still image so I can use it as a picture to place on the box for my dvd. Any suggestions on how to do this? I haven't been able to find anything on it within the user's manual. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

You can capture a section of the screen (while simulating your project) using this key shortcut:
command + Ctrl + Shift + 4
the capture will go to your clipboard, and you can use it in i.e. Photoshop.
Using:
Command + Ctrl + 4
you'll get the captured section as a file in your desktop.
If you use "3" in place of "4" key, you'll get a full screen capture.
EDIT: I found the link to the tip:

"To eliminate interlacing artifacts, you can apply a deinterlacing filter in

Does anybody know how to do it ?

Oooops ! I found it. If anybody i s interested, just go to Effects menu --> Video filters --> Video --> De-interlace

"Export classes in frame x" in AS3: how does it work?

My steps:
1. I have some beefy classes
2. I want my SWF to show a preload anim while it loads these
classes
3. Using the "Export classes in frame: " option, I move my
classes to frame 10
4. I put a stop(); on the first frame and test w/ the
bandwidth profiler visible.
Desired + expected behavior:
1. My preloader spins, and I have minimal K on the first
frame and then the main hit on the chosen export frame.
Observed behavior:
1. all of my classes are available on the first frame (ala,
all of my logic can be performed on the first frame, even though
the framehead is sitting firmly on frame 1)
2. there is still a spike in K on the output frame
Notes:
- am I just missing the point here? Is this how it always
worked?
- why is the Document Class available in the first frame? Is
this mandatory w/ the new structure?
Thanks for your time and help-
cgs

Thanks, moccamaximum, I believe this did open up a connection and now I have no errors.
However, my problem still persists.

I don't understand how its able to trace that it is getting the images in the path, yet there are no images to be seen in the gallery!
I found out that my gallery does work (with images and all) when loaded into a movieclip in a blank AS2 file instead of my AS3 site. Am I doomed since even localconnection will not help?

Help still shows Export to be under the Bookmarks/Organize Menu. There is no Organize in my copy of 5.0. How do I export my bookmarks?

I want to export an HTML copy of my bookmarks to restore them after a soon-to-be reset of my machine.
Help says to do it the way I have in the past, but there is no Organize option in the Bookmark menu.
How do I export my bookmarks, so that I can later import them?

Thanx. That solved the problem.
It would be nice to fix the Help page, on this... when they get a chance.
