How to change a video to jpg?

I mistakenly had the button on my Canon PowerShot A300 switched to video when I took four pictures. I didn't notice it until I uploaded the pictures into iPhoto 6. Is there any way I can change the images to jpg instead of mvi? I want to use the photos on my desktop, and they won't come up if they are mvi.
Thanks,
Joanne

My apologies. I just tried it myself, and even though I selected to export the jpeg, it still exported the complete video file. Weird. I have no idea why this is happening.
There is another way to get that still image, but you'll have to be very careful. iPhoto automatically creates a jpeg version of each video file for displaying in your library. If you right-click (control-click) on the thumbnail and select "Show File" a Finder window should open with the video file selected. Set the Finder window to Column view, and you can clearly trace its path in the iPhoto Library/ Originals folder. The jpeg of the first frame will be stored in an analogous location inside the iPhoto Library/ Modified folder. (Same Roll name, same file name, except for the .jpg extension). Locate the jpeg in the Modified folder, select it and do a File > Duplicate command. Move the copy to another location outside of the iPhoto Library.
I would be irresponsible if I failed to give you the standard warning about messing around inside the iPhoto Library folder. Warning: Be careful that you don't change any of the items inside there, or you can damage your database. Just select the file, duplicate it, and move the copy out. If you move the file that iPhoto knows about, you will have problems with your iPhoto Library.
Regards.

  • Help! How to change the video frame size during RTP transmission

    Hi there.
    In a RTP transmission:
    How can I change the size of the frames of the video while I have the processor in the server running?
    i.e. while the server is running, i want to change a video from 400x200 to 200x100
    Thanks

    I am trying to implement the same functionality. I've tried to reset the format using the trackControl.setFormat method but this only appears to be supported while the processor is in a configured state. I'm still investigating, but if you happen to know a solution please let me know.
    Here is what I'm trying to do... In the middle of a session, I'm trying to change the video format from h263/rtp:352x288 to h263/rtp:176x144

  • How to change audio/video speed

    Hi,
    I'm trying to change audio/video playback speed, so I could
    play it faster, but I haven't find any solution.
    It has to be changed dynamicaly - there is no possibilty of
    making normal, fast playing file.
    Thank you
    LN

    If you convert the video into an SWF and embed it playing
    through the frames, you should be able to "skip" frames or pause
    between frames through flex to increase/decrease playback speed
    through the MovieClip.gotoAndStop method.
    Not sure this would work or not. Just a thought.
    Happy coding.

  • How to change output video resolution.  I have 1920x1080 video but sharing from FCPX only allows 640x480.  I want 1920 output.  How can I resolve this?

    I have 1920x1080 video file that I edited.  When I attempt to share the edited file from FCPX, it only allows 640x480 output resolution.  I want 1920 output.  How can I resolve this?

    Hi,
    Final Cut will output the video at the resolution of your project's timeline.
    You can change the settings and scale your project up though by adjusting the sequence settings and then, if necessary, copying and pasting attributes to scale up the sequence.
    I had this question before and made a video explanation of how to re-scale a sequence here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=***9d-rHsKo&feature=youtu.be .
    If you have any more questions about this then just drop me a message here.
    Cheers,

  • How to change HD video clips to SD video clips ?

    Hi there,
    I have purchased some video footage from a website. But I just realized after downloading it that it was in mov file HD format 1920 x 1080.
    But all my settings & videos I used in my FCE are in SD.
    How do I change the settings of the video clips that I bought ?
    Thanks

  • How to change the Video Background Color - The Answer...Not the Question.

    Hello All,
    I was struggling with the Video Background Color as I was setting up my DVD. I'm new to DVD Studio Pro. I couldn't get the color to change from grey to the desired black. I was moments from asking for help, but thought to try just a bit harder. The answer lies under Preferences, Menu, Video Background Color. Just thought I'd share for future search strings by others.
    Ahh, onward!

    The id is applied by (I think) the skin class of the ChoiceBox. You don't need to define it.
    You have to apply the css in an external style sheet. You can apply the external style sheet to any parent of your choice box, or to the scene (the most usual way to do it).
    Example:
    import java.util.ArrayList;
    import java.util.List;
    import javafx.application.Application;
    import javafx.scene.Scene;
    import javafx.scene.control.ChoiceBox;
    import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
    import javafx.stage.Stage;
    public class ChoiceBoxTest extends Application {
      @Override
      public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
        primaryStage.setTitle("Example 2");
        final ChoiceBox<String> choiceBox = new ChoiceBox<>();
        List<String> tempResult = new ArrayList<String>();
        for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
          tempResult.add("Item " + i);
        choiceBox.getItems().setAll(tempResult);
        VBox root = new VBox();
        root.getChildren().add(choiceBox);
        final Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 250);
        scene.getStylesheets().add("choiceBox.css");
        primaryStage.setScene(scene);
        primaryStage.show();   
      public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    choiceBox.css:
    @CHARSET "UTF-8";
    #choice-box-menu-item:focused  {
    -fx-background-color: yellow ;
    #choice-box-menu-item .label {
    -fx-text-fill: black ;

  • How to change export video size settings?

    I just upgraded from iMovie to Final Cut Pro X.
    I am trying to export my 1080P content as a 720P file, something that was very easy on the basic iMovie setup.
    I noticed when I tried to export to Vimeo I was given options for file quality and video size.
    Where do I find those options if I am doing an export to a file as opposed a direct Vimeo upload (i.e. Quicktime)?
    Please don't tell me I have to buy Compressor for this...
    Thank you!

    Share>Export Using Compressor Settings>Apple>Apple Devices>HD for Apple Devices (10mbps)
    This will give 1280x720 HD
    I don't think you need Compressor as the Compressor Settings are included in FCP X  .  .  .  I hope!

    You should use the Toshiba graphic drivers.
    The different drivers you can use at the own risk.
    The Toshiba driver supports an overheating protection. You should know that the notebook graphic cards are not the same like on the desktop PCs. There have no own cooling module. In this case the Toshiba graphic driver controls the performance of the card and decreases the performance if the temperature increases to the critical level.

  • How do you change a video type?

    I want to know how to change a video type like TV Show or Movie so when you go on your iPod under videos it will audomadicly have a section called TV Shows or something with whatever you wanted to be in that catergory in there. Help me please!

    Hello, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Right-click your video in iTunes and select "Get Info" from the pop-up menu. Then click on the "Options" tab, and change the type under "Video Kind:"
    The video type cannnot be changed on TV Shows or movies purchased from iTunes. It can be changed on a Video Podcast though.

    P.S. Can you please tell how this forum can be identified code \ listing?

    Hello,
    I don't know if there is a way to change the video. But I think you can easily use your own videos by using a local .mpg or .3gp file via InputStream. Just change the player's parameters in video/mpg instead of capture://video.
    Hope it helps...

    On the Mac, open the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and then the most recent version of the iPod updater you have installed. Once you've opened this updater and plugged in your iPod, click the Restore button and follow the instructions; doing this will erase everything currently on it.
