How do i get a picture clip from a movie

I imported a movie from my iphone to mac book pro.  I am in Imovie and there is a perfect shot that would make a great photo.  How do I take that clip and put it into a photo that I can use/share?  Thanks

You probably will want to download MPEG Streamclip, load the video clip into that program then export the still image from there. There's a tutorial at on this discussion group thread:

  • How do I get home video clips from iMovie Mac to iMovie iPad?  Surely there is some degree of cross-compatibility?  I have a load of clips in iMovie on my MBP that I wanna download to my iPad2 so that I can edit movies on the move.  Any ideas?

    How do I get home video clips from iMovie Mac to iMovie iPad?  Surely there is some degree of cross-compatibility?  I have a load of clips in iMovie on my MBP that I wanna download to my iPad2 so that I can edit movies on the move.  Any ideas?  (The clips are in a .mov format, they have been imported / converted into this format in iMovie, original files were from a JVC camcorder in some other strange format.)

    I copied the iTunes file from the external drive and it's in both places.  I thought all I would need is the iTunes program (which I downloaded to new computer) and my iTunes library file.  There must be something else that's missing.  My iTunes library looks the same on the new computer as it does when I open it on the external drive.  If I click on an iTunes library song from my new computer, it will only play if I have the external drive plugged in.
    My back-up drive is a mess.  I have multiple copies of music, video, photo, and document files and I don't know how that happened. ={  Obviously, I don't know how to back up stuff properly and there are back-up files extending over a 6- to 8-year period.  I think all I did was just drag and drop the main folders from the back-up drive to the same main folders on the C: drive.  Also (and I'm kind of fuzzy on this) Windows used to automatically save music files in a folder within my document files (which makes no sense to me).  As my Jewish friends would say, "Oy Vey!"

  • I just got an iPad3.  I connected it to my PC.  It syned everyone of the pictures in my picture folder that it could.  Now I can't upgrade any apps or add any apps. How do I get my picture folders from my PC off the iPad?

    I just got an iPad3. It synced with my PC where I have my iPhone synced.  Trouble is that it synced years of pictures from my PC photo album.  Now there isn't room for apps, updating apps, or other.  How do I remove the pictures from my iPad?  I want to update to software 6.0

    Synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
    Connect and select your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to/remain on the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page.

  • How do I get my pictures back from the Synchronization thing?

    My PC crashed.  How do I download my backup photos from adobe in Elements?  All my synchronization settings are on, and the program is listing my albums, but no photos are in them.   I can't find anything in the online help.  MEO

    You might try posting in Adobe's Photoshop.com forum, where Adobe employees often (but not always) answer questions directly:

  • My hard drive died, how can I get my pictures back from iPad onto a new library on the hard drive?

    Hi there,
    I have a Mac Book, and as it's a little older, and was getting full, I moved my iPhoto library onto an external hard drive. This external hard drive was always plugged in, and iPhoto used it as it's store so to speak.
    However, the hard drive has died which means I now have no access to any of my photo's.
    As I sync both my iPad and iPhone to iphoto in it entirity, at the minute I have ALL my photos on both my iPad and my iPhone.
    How can I recover the photo's onto my mac or new hard drive from the ipad or iphone? I don't dare plug either in at the minute as I don't want the Sync to remove the photos.
    HELP! Please!
    James

    Here's one way

  • HT6541 How do I get my pictures back from the update? They were photos synced from my previous phone and now they are gone. Please help!

    i Just got an iPhone and I did not have icloud or iTunes yet. My photos from my previous phone were synced to my new phone and after the update they all disappeared. Please help me recover my pictures

    If all you did was sync your phone, and if you haven't synced again since this happened, you can restore your phone from the backup that was created at the beginning of the sync process (camera roll photos are included in the backup).  If you have synced again since this happened this backup has already been overwritten and your photos are lost.  Also, if you restored your phone from the backup of your iPod, rather than just synced, then your  photos are lost too.
    If you have an intact backup that contains these photos, do the following:
    Without connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to Preferences.  On the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".
    Connect your phone to your computer, right-click on the name of your phone when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar and select Restore from Backup, choose your most recent backup to restore from.
    When complete, you can go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and re-enable automatic syncing.

  • I have  a partitioned laptop. Itunes automatically consigns movies and audiobooks in the C drive which is close to full. How do I get itunes to work from the movies and audiobooks files in my D drive so that the C drive memory is not compromised?

    I have a partitioned laptop. Itunes automatically consigns files from my D drive to the C drive when I import them. My C drive is running out of space! What commands do I use to ensure that Itunes draws directly from my D drive for high space usesr like movies, podcasts and audiobooks ?

    Quit iTunes.
    Copy the iTunes Folder to the D drive, leave a copy on the C drive.
    Then open the XML file in the C drive in the iTunes folder with a Text editor with "Find and Replace" ability.
    Correct all the partial pathnames so it matches the new location where the iTunes Folder is now.
    Example:
    Find: C:\Windows\Users\Johnny\Music\iTunesFolder...   to
    Replace: D\\Music\iTunesFolder....
    Quit iTunes and transfer all the folders out of the iTunes Folder on C except the two single files, including the XML you edited.
    Start iTunes and click on one song you have but dislike, if it plays your fine. Leave the C/iTunes folders alone to make sure it works for all your content, then finally back it up or delete it to make room on C. Do a Windows defrag on C for increased performance.
    If you get a Explanation Point in iTunes, it didn't find the file and you didn't correct the pathnames correctly..

  • How do I get an audio file from i Movie to a CD?

    My Daughter has created a an audio clip using iMovie and we need to burn into onto a CD or import to itunes/ipod. Is that possible?
    Sure is. "Share" the file using the "Export using QuickTime..." option and select "Sound to AIFF" to create an audio file. This file can then be added to iTunes, burned, or converted to more compact format for iPod, etc.

  • How can I get a picture to go with my email signature when sending emails from my iPad? Only a square box shows up on my signature not the actual picture I iploaded in my settings.

    Only Apple Account Security could help at this point. You can try calling Apple Support in Canada - you'll have to find one of the several ways, such as Skype, to call an 800 number from outside of the relevant country - and ask for Account Security and see if they can help. Or you can find a friend who speaks Chinese and ask them to help you talk to Apple Support in China. There are really no other options that I know of.
    Note, by the way, that these are user-to-user support forums. You aren't speaking with Apple when you post here.

  • IPhone stopped restoring pictures from backup. How do I get my pictures back?

    I got a backup done at the apple store because my camera of my iphone 5 (iOS 7) was broken and they didn't want my pictures to get lost. Since then it was trying to restore but it never fully did more than 2/3 of my pictures never restored. Even with good wifi it wouldn't work and now it just stopped and I still can't find my pictures and videos anywhere. How do I get my pictures back?

    As I know, If the photo deleted, it still store in iPhone, if it isn't overwritten by other data, you can recover the deleted iPhone photos, you can search in google to find a tool to help you, I holp you make a backup with iTunes or iCloud, then follow this from Apple: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766

  • I have restored my new replacement iPhone 5s from my latest iCloud back up. However my camera roll pictures are not displaying. Its not saying i don't have any pictures, it just shows empty white squares? How do I get my pictures back? Thanks!

    I have restored my new replacement iPhone from my latest iCloud back up. However my camera roll pictures are not displaying. Its not saying I don't have any pictures in my camera roll, it has all the spaces for them, but it just shows empty white squares? How do I get my pictures back? Thanks!

    It's difficult to say whether it's stuck or not as the time to restore a backup can depend on many factors.  You'll have to decide when you think it's just not continuing.  You could try turning the phone off (hold the power button until you see the red off slider, then slide to turn off), then back on to see if that would get it going again.
    When you're convinced it's just hung, you can go back to settings and tap Stop Restoring iPhone to stop the restore.  You'll then have to try restoring it again (Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup).  Be sure it's connected to your charger and wifi while it's restoring the backup.
    You might also try the approach posted here by ezjules: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19518589#19518589.  This seems to have worked for some people who had trouble restoring their photos from an iCloud backup.
