How do you capture a still picture from DVD

How do you capture a still picture from a DVD

Click iMovie/About. If you have version 9.0.4 (iMovie 11) this will work. If you have an earlier version, this will also work, but there are also other ways.
First, get an app called MPEG Streamclip, which is free. (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.

  • In iMovie '09, how can I capture a still picture from the video?

    I have a movie that i got into iMove and I did edit it down and make a nice video from it I uploaded to YouTube. I want to know if there is any easy way to get stills from the video. when I run my cursor over the movie and get it on a person that I want to make into a still photograph is there a way to get that single piece out?
    If I locate the part of the film I want as a still then try and do a screen capture, when i move the cursor to do the capture the pic in the movie changes as I move the cursor. (hope i'm making sense).
    So is there a way to grab a single frame?
    Susan

    Two ways to get a still:
    1) In project, move cursor to the frame. Right-click/add freeze frame. The Freeze frame is placed right behind the current clip in the project.
    2) Select a frame in an Event. Right-click/Add still frame to project. The still is added to the project at the end.
    (after doing either 1 or 2, continue with step 3)
    3) Right-click on the still frame in your project. Select "Reveal in Finder". Drag the JPEG file that you see and drop it on the iPhoto icon in the Dock.
    Hint: You can create a new project just for the stills. This way you will not clutter up an existing project.

  • 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.

  • How can I extract a still picture from footage in iMovie, add text to it and print it ?

    How can I extract a still picture from footage in imovie, add text to it and print it ?

    Assuming you have iMovie 11 (also known as Version 9.0.4), here is how you do it. (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 use this photo in Photoshop, Pixelmator, Acorn, or the app of your choice to add text.
    Here is a demo I made the other day for how to extract the still image using MPEG Streamclip.

  • How do I capture a still photo from my video footage??

    Probably easy I know, but just wondering how to capture a still photo from my video footage. I pulled a particular clip into my viewer window and have found the still shot I want, what next??

    Put the playhead over the frame in the timeline and choose Modify>Make Freeze Frame. It will appear in the Viewer window. Drag it into the timeline.
    If you want a photo for iPhoto etc. put the playhead over the frame and select File>Export>Using QuickTime Conversion.
    In the window that opens change the "Format" setting to Still Image from the dropdown menu.

  • How do you delete only certain pictures from the photo library on the iphone 5?

    I just purchased an iphone 5. I would like to know how you delete only certain pictures from the photo library. You can delete from camera roll, but not photo library!! There are duplicate pics and ones that I don't even want on my phone.

    Your photo library is a complete list of all photos on your phone, including the camera roll and any albums you've created.
    Therefore it will always duplicate photos in your camera roll.
    The images are simply links, not additional copies of the photo

  • How do you export a still image from a sequence ?

    I could easily export a frame as still image in CS3 (File / export / ...)
    But how do you do this in CS4 ??... Adobe found another way of making something simple so difficult !...  I try to export media, then select a still image format, make sure ''export sequence'' is *not* selected, but when I look at the output, what I get is not where I had stopped the cursor and appeared on the monitor, but I get the first frame of the sequence instead.
    What am I doing wrong here ?
    Thanks,
    Rob

    Your way should work, it worked for me.
    Try reading this:
    Select a clip in the Project panel or a Timeline.
    Choose File > Export > Media.
    In the Export Settings dialog box, select a still-image format from the Format menu. See Export Settings Format options.
    If tabs are not visible below the Summary pane, click the Advanced Mode button.
    On the Video tab, deselect the Export As Sequence option (if it is selected).
    (Optional) To deinterlace the frame, select Progressive from the Field Type menu.
    (Optional) To correct the pixel aspect ratio for display on computer screens, select Square Pixels from the Aspect menu.
    Click the Output Name hot text.
    Browse to the location where you want to save the still-image file, type a filename for it, and click Save.
    In the Export Settings viewing area, drag the playhead to the frame you want to export as a still image.
    Click OK.
    Check no.10 did you drag the playhead in the export settings viewing area? Or did you do that on the timeline?
    Good luck.

  • How do you print a still clip from a 1440 x 1080i CS5.5 timeline

    The still image from a CS5.5 timeline in Photoshop looks ok but, prints thinly ..ie., distorted.
    How do you get it back to look right ?

    Hi Curt,
    I have discovered by using  Image>Transfer>Perspective in Photoshop I can distort the image horizontally and it will then print nearly perfectly. It is a bit hit and miss, but, you can see the result on the Epson R800 printer window.

  • How can you disable "set desktop picture" from the finder contextual menu

    I teach high school.  And MUST find a way to keep my students from changing their desktops.
    First I basically got rid of Firefox when it had that feature in the Tiger days.
    Then for Leopard I had to create dummy "locked" Safari Desktop Picture files for all my user accounts so the kids couldn't use Safari to set their desktop pictures.
    NOW I discover (maybe this was here before) Snow Leopard lets you change the desktop right from the Finder itself!  Just right click on any image file and the contextual menu  will give them the option to "set desktop picture".
    Come on Apple, every educator I know has complained about what a distraction and constant battle images are for students who use computers.  While not all students are inappropriate, quite a few are...meaning no one can be allowed the privilege.  Why is this such a huge battle to try and lock down?  Please allow Parental Controls or Server managed preferences to keep our students from being able to change their desktop pictures, ever, at all, from anywhere or any program.
    Does anyone know if this is even possible?

    The only way (I have found) to shut down using Safari's "Use Image as a Desktop Picture" feature is to create a bunch of blank documents that the users have no permission to change (i.e. set permission to only allow, say YOU to read it and no access to write to it for anyone)
    Create a number of these blank documents and rename them
    Safari Desktop Picture.jpg
    Safari Desktop Picture.tiff
    Safari Desktop Picture.gif
    Safari Desktop Picture.jpeg
    Safari Desktop Picture.png
    (you get the point....come up with as many .3 extensions of photo files that you can think of)
    Put these locked and unchangeable files into the following directory of each of your student accounts
    Macintosh HD/Users/~User Name/Library/Safari/
    What this does is create a bunch of dummy files that will "block" Safari (or the system or user) from trying to replace them.  Even though the right click comman will still be there, Safari will not be able to put the picture in the correct part of the system for it to be used as a Desktop Picture.

  • Still picture from video

    How do you make a still picture from a video?

    Hi ya,
    Pause the video and then tap the screen to make the pause/play menu disappear. Then press the home & lock button at the same time to make a screen shot.
    The picture will be saved portrait and so you'll need to download the Photoshop app or something similar to rotate the image the right was up.

  • Capturing still pictures from a digital camcorder

    I use a Canon mini DV digital camcorder and want to capture some still pictures from the movies to place in a book I am doing in IPHOTO....is this possible?

    If your canon mini dv camcorder is anything like mine then keep in mind that while shooting you have the option of taking great hi res images as well as continuous high quality video. You just have to make the extra effort to push the photo button if you happen to see a great shot. You can capture the image to an SD card most likely or to tape (I prefer SD Cards for still images).
    Or as stated above already you can make your own still from the actual video footage (altho usually at a lower resolution).
