How do I export a single frame from a QT movie?

WHY in the world does this seem sooooo difficult to do?

Select the frame you want by using the scrubbing bar.
Hold down the command key and then click the c key (copy).
Switch to the Preview app and choose "New From Clipboard" and save the image.

  • 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 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?
    Regards
    Phil

    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.

  • What's the simplest way to export a single frame from an animated gif as gif?

    i have an animated gif and wish to save a single frame as a non-animated gif.
    in the past i've been achieving this by deleting all the frames i don't wish to export and deleting them before exerting, this seems very clumsy though so i figure there's a more sensible solution in there somewhere, but where?

    Thanks, Bill! Actually version 9 looks a little clearer than that, as it has two bold clear white paddles to mark the edge of the work area.
    I was a little frustrated at first, because whatever I did, it still took a year and exported the entire video.
    Then:
    I caught sight of this teeny tiny box waiting for a tick from me, which said:
    Share Work area Bar Only
    We have lift-off 
    Thanks again. So much quicker than all that deleting ahnd hoping you don't accidentally say "yes" when prompted to save changes!

  • How do i export a single jpeg frame from a video file in final cut x

    how do i export a single jpeg frame from a video file in final cut x

    You can also use the 3 finger method of COMMAND+SHIFT+4, then drag across what you want to copy from the image. That will show up on your desktop, which then you can edit using Photoshop, if you want too.
    You can then change the file format from a PNG to either a .JPG or TIFF or even a Photoshop image.
    Make sure, you have stopped the playback, to what you want to save as a still.
    Either method works, to make a still image from video.

  • HT200044 how to export a single frame in 10.0.6 - I cannot find option?

    With 10.0.5 There was an option on "share" to pick a single frame from the timeline and export the image as a JPEG or other formats.  I do not find this option on the new version.

    It works now, you need to go back to share and a new option is available that was created by the step you mentioned, listed as share frame one -- when selected, this allows for exporting the frame to the desktop!
    Thanks.

  • How can I export a still picture from a video clip?

    How can I export a still picture from a video clip?

    I'm able to export stills from iMovie without anything extra. I create a new project - call it Exports say. Now, in your event clip with the frames you want as stills, select a single frame and drag it into your project. Repeat for other stills you want to export. Then choose Share -> Export Using QuickTime.
    In the pop-up, choose Movie to Image Sequence. Click Options and choose the image format you want. Playing with the number of stills lets you pick how many stills you want from each second of video. Hit OK and the stills will be generated in the directory you choose.
    I've only done this with HD video. Don't know how well it works with lower res, interlaced vid.
    HTH,

  • 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

    @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.
