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 do I take a still frame from a movie clip in iMovie and send it to iPhoto?
    The goal is when I export my movie to iDVD, I want to use still clips from my movie as the rotating images. Right now it either plays through the DVD in the rotating part or I can drag pictures from iPhoto into the slots.
    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 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 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.
    Here is a video I made that steps through this...

    serach the forum for any of the hundreds of posts detailing this process -
    my personal favorite is shift-N, apple-9, type name, drag to bin, batch export.
    The best thing about the batch export queue is you can set up a batch with the file format and destination folder and then keep adding new clips/stills to export.
    Hope this helps -

  • Help how do you save a still frame of video  as a photo?

    Help how do you save a still frame of video as a photo? Thanks

    A still frame from an Event:
    Put cursor at the frame you want, then right click (or command click) and select "Add Still Frame to Project".
    The still frame will be added at the end of the Project.
    A still frame from a Project:
    Put cursor at the frame you want then right-click (or control-click) and select "Add Freeze Frame". The Freeze frame will be added after the clip.
    In both cases:
    Select the still frame (so the yellow band is around it).
    Right-click (or control-click) and select "Reveal in Finder".
    You will see a JPG file highlighted in the finder.
    Drag this file and drop it on your iPhoto icon in the Dock.

  • 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 to create and export a still frame from a movie in iMovie 09

Apple encourages you to first seek a solution at Apple Support. The following links are provided as is, with no guarantee of the effectiveness or reliability of the information.

    Are you working in iMovie and realize that certain frames in the movie would be perfect as photographs? Here is how to extract them...
    *To get a still frame from an Event*, right-click on the frame and select "Add Still Frame to Project". The still will be added to the end of the current project. Right click on the still frame in the project and select "Reveal in Finder". You will see a jpeg file that is highlighted. Drag this jpeg file in the finder to the iPhoto icon on your dock.
    *If you want a still from a project*, rather than an event, the process is similar, except you right-click on the frame and select "Add Freeze Frame", and it adds the freeze frame at the end of the clip rather than at the end of the project. Right-click/reveal in Finder, drag JPEG to iPhoto icon in dock.
    *If you are not using iPhoto*, and just want to save to your desktop, click Reveal in Finder as above, then COPY, then PASTE to desktop.
    Hint: If you do not want to clutter up your iMovie Project with stills at the end that you would have to go back and delete, then create a separate iMovie Project just for your stills, and follow the instructions for capturing stills from an Event.
    Note: If you do not have a right mouse button, then control-click will work instead of right-click.

    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.

    I followed your instruction, and it worked. Thanks. However, it converted my 16:9 image to a 4:3 image. It was simple enough to restore the proper aspect ratio in Photoshop, but I'd like to be able to export the still image and retain the proper aspect ratio. Do you know how to manage this?

  • 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.
