How do you export a movie to an image sequence in iMovie 10.0.4?

Hi,
I'm trying to create an animated gif. In order to do so I need to export my short two-second movie as a sequence of .jpg's or .png's. This was possible in earlier versions, but I can't find it on this one.
I'm using an iMac with OS 10.9.4 running iMovie 10.0.4
If it isn't possible in iMovie 10.0.4, is there another way to create a sequence of images from a short movie using native tools?
Thank you!
Clara

I see.
I know that QuickTime Pro can do it.
https://www.apple.com/quicktime/extending/
But that's a $29.99 purchase.
Not sure about the regular QuickTime Player 7
QuickTime Player 7 for Mac OS X v10.6.3 or later
There's also something called Movie2Picture in the Mac App store that I think will do it, but I have no experience with it.
Lastly, check out MPEG Streamclip it's free and I bet it will export to an image sequence, though I haven't tried it.

Exporting a movie as an image sequence... cropped?

I've created a short sequence (4 seconds) in iMovie '09 that I am trying to export as an image sequence for insertion into a stop motion animation I'm creating with QuickTime Pro. The movie segment has been created with an aspect ration of 3:2 from TIFF images that are 1620 x 1080.
I can export the short sequence as an H.264 movie at the proper aspect ratio, but when I export as an image sequence, the individual frames are cropped on export to an aspect ration of 16:9. The images aren't stretched, they are cropped, and I can't figure out a way to get the QuickTime exporter in iMovie to export still images that are true to the dimensions and aspect ratio of the movie that appears in the iMovie project pane.
I'm not entirely sure, but it's as if iMove is picking up settings for the aspect ratio from previous project.
To workaround the problem I'm expoting an H.264 movie from iMovie, opening this movie in QuickTime Pro, then exporting the individual frames as an image sequence of TIFF files at the desired dimensions and aspect ratio. Needless to say, the resulting frames are losing considerable image quality passing through each of these steps. The sorry-can't-use-em cropped frames directly from iMove are adequately clear, but with the added step of making (and compressing) a movie, then exporting the frames from QT the image quality suffers.
As an aside, you'd think I could just paste the movie exported from iMovie into my animation sequence in QuickTime Pro, but I get a video glitch at the point that the iMovie originated sequence begins.
Any idea how to get iMove to not crop frames that have been imported at the same 2:3 aspect ratio as the project properties?
Thanks!
John

I would have them all unchecked, you could use Best, but I'm not too sure if that would slow up the export with unnecessary processing.
Also check your project settings match your original codec.
QT would do the job too.

How can i create a .mov file from image sequence with different durations

how do u create an image sequence with different durations? image one stays for 10 seconds and image two may stay for 30 and so on. each one has a custom duration. can this be done with an apple script or a text file saved as an mov file?

Hello Omar,
The example code Programmatic Printing of TestStand Reports - Modular contains a sequence that will convert an XML file to an HTML file given the XML file's path and the path to the stylesheet. It may need to be altered to fit with the modifications you have already made to the report generation routines, but I think it should definitely get you off on the right foot. Let me know if you have any questions!

How do you export photos and movies from iPhoto to your iPhone? I synced the devices and noticed that some photos and movies on my laptop iPhoto were not transferred to my iPhone?

I am not sure, which answer you found - so just in case:
If you sync your iPhone with the iPhoto library, the photos will only stay on the iPhone until the next sync and they are not in the Camera Roll. If you transfer using the Photo Stream, they will only be vidsible in the stream, until they are replaced in iCloud by newer content.
So, if you want to transfer the photos permanently, save them to the Camera Roll.

How do I export a Movie to Quicktime? And do I need to?

Hello, how do I export a Movie in iMovie 11 to Quicktime, when the option is not listed?
I have created some short videos with Lavelier Line6 mic, which apparently records your voice in stereo on one track, I am told (although I can't see stereo tracks anywhere within iMovie project, it looks like one track below the picture - but then I wouldn't know what to look for as I'm new to this!).
I need to, I am told, export the final movie to Quicktime, in order to create a mono track rather than stereo. I can't see how to do this, as Quicktime is not an option in my Share menu (facebook etc is there, but not Quicktime).
Could someone advise me whether I need to do this at all? Is a movie soundtrack automatically converted to mono if there is only one track?
(Also, there is a small amount of hiss in the recording, which I have removed with background noise reduction, but could that hiss come from the unused track, does anyone know? And if so, what is the best way to get rid of that track? Of course, it may not be that at all! I don't really want to get into complicated removal of audio tracks into other software and then readding to the picture, if I can avoid it.)
Thanks for any advice you can give. Fran x

How do I export FCP movie to a WMV format (Windows Media Player friendly)?

I am puzzled. How can I export FCP movie to a WMV format or Windows Media Player friendly?
Thanks in advance.

You need a third party app to do this... AVI is the only format that you can export from FCP that's windows media friendly... WMF's can be exported with flip4mac... http://www.flip4mac.com Probably the best of the apps...

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.

Hi cortiz58,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
What version of iMovie are you working with? Is your end goal that you need to play the file on a Windows computer, or is it that you need to burn the file to DVD?
See this link for tips to re-wrap your file for Windows:
How to create a video for playback with Windows/XBox/PS3/… etc?: Apple Support Communities
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-5781
If you export the iMovie file as a .mov file, you can play it in iTunes for Windows on your PC.
If you want the ability to burn to DVD, then you may consider downloading the free 30 day trial of our professional video application. Final Cut Pro X can import your iMovie project and burn it to DVD.

How Do You Store Your Movie Masters?

Hi all,
I'm curious, how do you store your Movie Masters? Let's say you filmed an important Family event from a camcorder with a hard drive. You imported the footage into you mac and edited it in iMovie or Final Cut Pro or other app.
Then what?
Do you make a DVD?
Do you save a DVD image file on the computer?
Do you export a .mov or other format file?
Do you delete the DV original files because they are so massive?
Do you save/delete the iMovie or FCP master original footage?
When do you delete the camcorder hard drive original (when you need the space)?
What other approaches do you do?
Which is the Master?
How do you back up your movie?
Thanks in advance for your opinions.

Great question. I think the issue of backup is a important one, and one I always worry about since I have a lot of video footage that is irreplaceable.
For back-up, it is helpful to define the risk you are trying to protect from.
For example,
1) risk of corruption in iMovie --> I might use Time Machine (but I do not because I have not had the issue)
2) risk of hard drive failure --> I use SuperDuper! nightly
3) Risk of theft or fire --> offsite backup
Here is what I do...
1) I back up my boot disk with SuperDuper automatically to alternate external partitions every other night so I always have two bootable systems. One is less than one day old, and one is less than two days old.
2) I back up my original video files. For my Motion JPEG, VHS-->AIC, DV, and 8MM to DV, the EVENT is the copy I back up. For my AVCHD high def video, I back up the archive of the AVCHD, but I am not currently backing up the Event files, because I would need from 4 to 8 TB to back up these events depending on whether I made one copy or two.
3) I use CrashPlan for my offsite backup. It costs less than $4 per month, and I seeded the initial backup to an external drive to minimize having to transfer video files over the Internet. I currently have 1.2TB of data backed up to CrashPlan, which includes my entire boot drive, and the files described in #2.
4) All of the above is automated, so I don't have to think about it too much. If I have to manually do stuff, I tend to get behind.
You have to consider the value of total multiple redundancy vs. the likelihood that 2 or three unlikely events would all happen at once. For example, CrashPlan could lose my data. My hard disk could fail. I could lose everything in a fire. But it is unlikely that they would all happen at once, except in nuclear war, in which case, who cares?
I am considering adding Time Machine backup and some off-site backup of the Event files into the mix, but for now I am satisfied.

How do you select and move more than one bookmark at a time?
Shift+Click does not select multiple items that are next to one another in a list because the items open in firefox before this happens.

Use the bookmarks library. You may use Shift +Click, and Ctrl + Click to create groupings of selected bookmarks to drag and drop.
* one method of opening the bookmarks library is keyboard shortcut <br /> Ctrl+Shift+B (Windows)

How do you export messages from Ovi Suite?

As the title says, how do you export messages from Ovi Suite?
I know how to export messages from Nokia PC Suite, but it doesn't seem to be possible in the new Nokia Ovi Suite.
Here is how I would do it in the Nokia PC Suite.
1. I click the Messages icon to open Nokia Communication Center.
2. I click on the Messages option on the left pane to view only messages.
3. In the main window I mark the messages I want to export.
4. Then I go to File menu and chose Export.
5. Choose destination folder and I'm all set to export my messages from my Nokia.
I can chose between the formats CSV and VMG (vMessage) for export. If more than one message is marked only the CSV format is available. But what you can do to export several messages in the VMG format is to mark them all in the main window and press CTRL+C or right click and chose Copy to copy them all to RAM memory. Then all you have to do is create an empty folder on the desktop and paste them in there by pressing CTRL+V or right clicking and chosing Paste.
That's all there is to it, using Nokia PC Suite. So how do you do this in Nokia Ovi Suite? You don't, right?
And this **bleep** Ovi Suite is supposed to replace PC Suite?
Thank God I won't be needing neither of them much longer. I am switching to Android and HTC. Good luck with Ovi, the Ovi Player, the Ovi Suite, the PC Suite, the Symbian, the S60, the Symbian^1 (S60 5th edition), the Symbian^3, the Symbian^4 and what not.

I believe OVI took a step in the right direction with this option. I also believe it was made available due to the fact that OVI Suite cannot take a huge number of messages altogether. This option was made available so that the messages could be backed up.
However, I'd like to suggest the following, if possible.
1. Make Nokia OVI Suite be able to handle a huge number of messages.
2. Have the option to export only selected messages.

How do you import a movie from a DVD to my Itunes library?

Hii! I have been using Itunes for 3 months and it just came to me that I want to put a movie that I have on DVD on my ipod. I know that i have to put it in my Itunes first but how do you put your movie in my itunes library?? I have been in all tutorials that I could find but they don't tell me how to do this.
I need an answer quick! Going on vacation tomorrow!
Thanx!

Actually, what you want to do is illegal in the US (and probably Canada too) since it requires breaking the copyright protection on DVDs. As such, even discussion of methods is prohibited by the [terms of use of this site|http://discussions.apple.com/help.jspa]
A DVD wouldn't play in itunes anyway since it isn't a supported format.
