How do I save a still pic from a movie?

How do I save a jpeg from a movie... I saw about clicking it and then going to finder... but its a dv file not a jpeg

What I do sometimes is just take a screen shot of the video.
I use Grab, it's in the Utilities folder in the Application Folder
Go to Menu - Capture - selection - save it and drag it into iM.

  • Can I make a still pic from a movie in iPhoto?

    Hi Guys,
    I've got a movie of my daughter blowing out her fifth birthday cake candles. Can I extract a still from this to put on her thank you cards?

    Use iMovie or QuickTime Pro (if you have it.)

    How do I creat a still photo from a video in the new iMovie?

    I'll assume you want to create a still to use outside FCPX, not a still frame within FCPX.  It's kinda hidden in the "share."  Go File/Share/Add Destination.  You want "Save Current Frame."  After you've created that destination, it'll be there for you in the future under Share.

  • 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 still pic (or freeze frame) from my movie to my desktop for use in another project

  • At only 15 months of age, my MacPro crashed yesterday! Any idea how I can save my hard disk from being destroyed if I hand it in for repair?

    At only 15 months of age, my MacPro crashed yesterday! Any idea how I can save my hard disk from being destroyed if I hand it in for repair?

    Open it up. Buy a new replacement drive. Install Mac OS. Then give it to them if you still have trouble.
    As for the install failing,
    I never do the older "archive and install"
    I format and initialize first, even zero the drive, and only then install.
    of course all the data is lost.
    Data Rescue 3 demo can scan a drive but you need to have setup a 2nd boot drive to work from, AND you would need part of that 2nd drive partition for recovery of data. 30-50GB system partition and 150% the size of the drive you want to recover.
    TimeMachine I never adopted or liked but 350% and would only use as secondary backup with cloned copy of your drive.
    Backups can be scheduled, run at night or weekend or both, a weekly clone and daily sets.
    Disk Warrior 4.2+ is another $100 (DR3 is about same but demo is free to try).
    A spare external drive case $30? and TWO hard drives, a replacement and backup/recovery $100 each?
    Just some ideas to throw out there....
    Bootable clones though you will find are very useful, handy.
    I like the small 40GB emergency boot partition - put one on your TimeMachine drive etc.
    LION: the one good thinig: it has a recovery mode partition and new Macs have "net install" feature and minimal hardware diagnostic over the internet to do Apple Hardware Test. Lion $30 and might actually want to install it on external.
    So DO try installing OS X on one of your external drives - create 40GB volume just for that - if you can please.

    How can I make a still photo from imovie?

    Let's assume you have iMovie 11 (Version 9). (If you have a different version, let me know. The instructions will be different.)
    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.
    I have created a short video Tutorial on how to do this. There is one error in the Tutorial, where it says that Command-click is the same as right-click. I should have said Control-click instead.

  • How do I save an HDR image from Nik silver FX to a jpg in photoshop?

    How do I save an HDR image from silver FX to a jpg in photoshop. when I go to file - save as then option of a jpg does not come up?

    Since the hdr image is probably 32 bits/Channel, you would need to go to Image>Mode and choose either 16 or 8 bits/channel.
    Then in the HDR Toning dialog use the Exposure and Gamma Method with the Exposure set to Zero and Gamma set to One.
    Then you should be able to save out your image as a jpeg.

  • HT1473 how do i save an audio file from a webpage to iTunes?

    how do i save an audio file from a webpage to iTunes?

    If the web page is designed to let you save files it will often have a download link, or if it is a link to the file directly you can try to right click on the file.  If it isn't set up that way then they probably don't intend for the file to be downloaded.
