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.

New to using Firefox with MAC: How does one save a single jpeg from the internet, similar to using the right mouse click on a pc?

If your question comes about because you have a single button mouse, it's time to visit your local computer store and get a ''real'' mouse for that MAC. I don't "get" Apple, they sell their hardware for almost twice what a comparable PC would sell for - and then they leave out what is probably the most important time saving control, the right-button.
See this for setting the hidden pref for context menus in Firefox, for Mac's.

How to extract any picture (frame) from the video file

I am writing an application that is going to show the grid of tiles. Each tile should have picture that is frame from some particular video.
Basically something similar to Photos or Videos - standard Windows Phone app.
The question is how can i extract any picture from the video to put it as picture of the tile or button?

I pinged you offline.

Is it possible to export chapters into video files or final cut?

Hello,
I was wondering if it is possibly to export chapters from DVDSP of I would have to rework the chapters again when I edit. Bascially I have chapters, but they all end with a cutoff transition, I've decided to re-edit the 4 hrs of footage on final cut, but was hoping there was an easier way to have the chapters already there. Hopefully this makes sense...
Can Final Cut edit .m2v files?

No, I don't think that you can carry chapters from DVDSP into FCP. I may be wrong. You can however, do the opposite, carry chapter markers from FCP into DVDSP.
Yes, FCP can edit MPEG2.
Good luck.

Can't open a video file after Final cut export

Very strange issue which getting me nuts.
I've FCP 7 on Lion.
I'm finishing a project and export it as it is on an external hard drive for back up.
I've got a .MOV file.
After that I'm making an other folder and export all the working file from FCP.
End of the story.
Later I want to open the Quic time video file... and then I've got an error message telling me that QT is looking for data of the video file "xyz-FIN-0000000e"
There is only a STOP button.
If I press it I've got a new error message telling me :
The file "xyz-FIN-0000000e" can't be found. Without it the video can't be play correctly"
(I'm translating the message from my french system)
So I can find sometimes the files is asking from the other folder (the FCP back up files) and then it open it...).
But WHY does the video file needs reference files ?
It was an export and I ask the exporter to make a self movie...
Realy I don't understand what's wrong.
Any cue ?
Thanks !
Jean do

Is this a Final Cut Pro .mov file. If it is it would open with FCP. Are you sure you saved with "self contained" checked. I seem to remember someone with a problem like this.
I think in the future you need to open your exported self contained FCP.mov files with quicktime Player and change the "open with" to quicktime player.

Hi,
I have a jpeg movie file 60 mins long and a text file tell me five time-lines for breaking the movie. For example, break the movie at 10:21, 16:05�
The final output should be five small jpeg movie files. Each file contains a 90 sec (30 sec before the break time and 60 sec after the break time).
Do you know any java library (jar) contain the library that can help me on programming this? Any existing source code? Any SDK for a movie editor can do that?
Please help.
Thanks

Thanks for your reply, deggie, but as I stated in the original question I do not have a trash can. However, I went to the Verizon store and after many attempts to locate a trash can the sales rep turned off the phone with both buttons held down. When the apple came back the trash can came back. He had never seen that problem before so we both learned something !

How do i export movies from my home dvd to final cut?

I have a home dvd that has a compilation of movies. I am trying to get one of these movies and import them into Final Cut Pro. When I opened the DVD, two folders come up: Video and Audio. Video has all of the movies that are on the menu, when I imported that file into Final Cut, I could not get any audio. When I went into the audio folder, there are no files inside. Any suggestions on how to get the movie in one piece with audio and video linked so that I can edit it?

You shouldn't need to bother with leads coming from your DVD player at all. As others have said use either of the software solutions given and both of these will handle the audio. The two folders you found on the DVD are standard (Audio TS and Video TS) but, weird as it may sound, the audio is actually within the video TS folder.
The software mentioned will also extract the audio for you from the video TS folder.
If you can get the original tape - in my experience extracting from DVD is no where as good as the original file but if you are stuck then it is better than nothing.
Best of luck,
Michael

Print Out Still Frames From HD Video

I am importing HD video into iMovie 08. I have made a few still frames from the video for printing. I could not export them to iPhoto or Photoshop Elements 2.
How can I make HD video prints? Do I need new software?

I have made a few still frames from the video for printing. I could not export them to iPhoto or Photoshop Elements 2.
Select the "still frame" sequence and use the "Reveal in Finder" option to take you to the saved "still image" in the named_Project package. If you then double-click the image, it will open in Preview. Using Preview, you can print the image or save it to any of the available image formats in any "visible" location for later access by whatever graphic application you wish to use.

Capture JPEG from MPEG2 video file

Hello friends,
I want to extract a single JPEG image from a mpeg2 video file. The user input will be the number of seconds since the start of video when the image should be captured
e.g. if the user input is 5, the program should capture the frame which comes after 5 seconds of playing the video file and convert it into a jpeg.
Please note that I do not actually want to play the video in a player but do this task of seeking into the video file programatically
Thanks
