How to create a sequence of stills from a video clip?

Hi,
I am doing a video project for college and I want to create a stop motion style scene. I took a continuous video of myself drawing bit by bit a picture on a chalkboard and stepping out of the shot after each piece was drawn, now i want to edit out all the parts with me in it. I figured the best way to do this would be to convert the video into a sequence of stills and then just delete the ones i dont need.
Can anyone advice me on how to convert the video into stills or if there is a better way to do it?
Many thanks
Cephei

I agree with Harm. However if you want to export a still image sequence then see Export still-image sequences in the PPro Help.
You will also find links to many free tutorials in the PremiereProPedia that will quickly show you how things are done in Premiere Pro.

  • What is best way to extract a still from a video clip

    In a iMovie project there is a frame I would like as a still photo. Can I extract it from iMovie?

    You can do it in iMovie '09 too. To export your still frames as JPEGs:
    Choose Share > Export Using QuickTime.
    Type a title for your movie in the Save As field.
    Select the location where you want to save your movie. If the location you want doesn’t appear in the Where pop-up menu, click the blue Arrow button to the right of the Save As field, and then navigate to the desired folder.
    Select the file format you want to export to from the Export pop-up menu (Select "Movie to Image Sequence)".
    Click Options to see the default settings for compression, quality, key frame rate, frame reordering, encoding mode, and dimensions.
    To change the compression settings (known as the “codec”), including quality and frame rate, click Settings (this option isn’t available for all export formats), and then specify your settings. Depending on the export format you choose, you see different codecs and compression options. If you select “Movies to QuickTime Movie” as your export format, you can make the following adjustments:
    To change the compression type, frame rate, key frames, data rate, and compressor quality, click Settings. Setting a low key frame number (such as every ten frames) creates a better-quality movie with a larger file size. Set the frame rate last; you might get choppy-looking video playback if you set the frame rate to less than about 12 frames per second. Higher quality compressor settings result in a larger file size for your movie.
    To add filter effects, such as blur, color adjustments, or “aging,” click Filters, and then select a type of filter from the list and make your adjustments. Any filters you apply affects the entire movie. You see a preview of your changes as you work.
    To set the frame size, click Size, and then select a dimension setting from the pop-up menu and whether you want to preserve letterboxing. This size setting affects the overall size of your movie.
    To export a silent movie, deselect Sound. Or select it, and then click Settings to change the default sound export settings, including format, sample rate, sample size, and channels.
    If you will not be streaming this video on the Internet, deselect “Prepare for Internet Streaming.” Or select it, and then select a streaming type. If you select Hinted Streaming, you can further specify streaming behavior, including payload encoding, packet size, packet duration, QT metadata interval, repeat packets, and repeat interval.
    After setting your preferences for export, click Save.
    To learn more about working with compression settings and QuickTime, see the topics on exporting files in QuickTime Help. To open QuickTime Help, open the QuickTime application and then choose Help > QuickTime Help.

  • 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 to create automatic creation of BP from customer and vendor master data

    Hi gurus,
    can any one tell how to create automatic creation of BP from customer and vendor master data.
    Please give me the steps.
    Thanks
    Sasikanth.

    HI,
    Goto SPRO\ Cross application components \ Master data synchronization \ Synchronization control.
    Assign account groups of customer and vendors to respective BP grouping. This setting is enough to create BP in background while creating customer / vendor. But the fields groups are very much important, ensure mandatory fields should be sync.

  • How to create a SEQUENCE in MSSQL2005

    Hi
    I am also having a similar problem which opened the thread
    Actually i am using a Repositery which is created in MSSQL2005.
    Now i want to create a SEQUENCE similar to Oracle and populate My surrogate Key Column.
    Can u tell me how to create a SEQUENCE in MSSQL2005?
    Does anyone is having the sql syntax?
    Thanks
    Gourisankar

    Hi Gourisankar,
    There is no sequence concept in MS SQL Server rather it has IDENTITY.
    In MS SQL Server if you declare a column type as a Identity it will be auto increment when a new record inserts.
    So in you underlying table create a column as ID and type as "Identity" and in your mapping leave that field un mapped.
    Have a look and google more on "identity in ms sql server" ;)

  • How to Create Test Sequence Document in HTML using command line

    How to Create Test Sequence Document  in HTML using command line
    I have lot of sequences and I want to create Test Sequence Documentation in HTML format using Command Line automatically, is there a way to automate this task using .bat file or using   C#  .Net

    If you aren't able to figure out how to call a C++ DLL in .net then there may be another option.  Unfortunately I don't know how to do this off the top of my head and I don't have an example.
    The other option would be to change docgen.seq a little bit to the dialog doesn't display and you just hardcode the options.  Then you can use a command line to call testexec.exe: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370052K-01/tsfundamentals/infotopics/startup_opt/

  • How to create a sequence DDL in a procedure

    Hello,
    i have a simple question but i dont find a solution here.
    How to create a sequence DDL in a procedure ?
    Thank 's

    Use Native Dynamic Sql. Look at the EXECUTE IMMEDIATE command.
    declare
    begin
       execute immediate 'create sequence xx_seq ';
    end;
    /Of course you need explicit permission to create a sequence. NOT through a ROLE.

    Thanks. That worked. However I have another related question:
    I convert the xml feed to a XMLListCollection by doing:
    <mx:XMLListCollection id="mission"
    source="{xmlFeed.lastResult.day}"/>
    and
    <mx:XMLListCollection id="mission1"
    source="{xmlFeed.lastResult.day.tBlock}"/>
    On the chart I have
    <mx:ColumnChart id="missionReadiness" height="150%"
    width="100%"
    paddingLeft="2" paddingRight="2"
    showDataTips="true" dataProvider="{mission1}">

    <mx:ColumnSeries xField="" yField="@afterT"
    displayName="After Tomorrow"/>
    </mx:series>
    </mx:ColumnChart>
    the yField works, but for the xField I want to have the @date
    but refers to the parent node, so I am clueless on how to refer to
    it.
    Also, I would like to display on the chart only the values to
    a specific date (like @date="05/17/2007").
    Any suggestions on how to do that?

  • I have been trying to create a movie from a project that is primarily stills and one video clip.  I cannot successfully create the movie without iMovie shutting down unexpectedly.  Any ideas for the cause of the problem?

    I am getting an unexpected shut down of iMovie when I try to share a movie from a project that is made up of still pictures, one video clip and music.  Have tried to create the movie several times with different formats and continue to get the message.  When I removed all music I was able to create the movie without a problem but when I added the music back, I was unable to create the movie.  I'm using iMoive 11' version 9.0.9
    Thanks.
    Bill

    I'm no expert in iMovie, but I've found that processing memory (as well as sheer hard disk space for the project to 'turn around in') can be a big issue with constructing, editing, and distilling projects in iMovie. I've improved the success by moving 2gb of image files off to an external drive, but only really got moving again on an hour-long project by doubling RAM and again freeing up h/d space.
    Some tunes are also an issue, but if you can see it in the iTunes list to place in your project, it should work okay... Does the project run with any other piece of music, or does just that one tune mess it up?
    Good luck,
    Laura

  • Can anyone help me figure why there is a popping sound when I move from an iphoto still image to a new video clip?  The sound has been removed from the video clips and there is another soundtrack underneath it all.  Help?

    My current project is like many I have created in the past.  I have removed the sound from my video clips and laid another soundtrack under the entire project.  Now, when I add an iphoto still image to the project, when it goes back into video there is a popping sound.  I've never had this happen in the past and have made many projects in the past just like this one.  Any way to troubleshoot this issue?  Thanks so much for your help.

    Subject : Slideshow looks bad
    Hello guys
    I have a project in my Final Cut just about done.  I want to add my slideshow as part ofthe project and burn it to DVD.  Inmy slideshow, there are some stills from the movie clips and some downloadedfrom the internet but they all look blur when playback and even worse if Iapply Ken Burn to it.   Pleasesome one can tell my how to do it right or it can’t be done because thedownload quality and stills from the clip are not suitable or slideshow.  Thank you
    PSC

    Thank you Ross.
    The entire DVD containing Quick Time movies (Final CutExpress project) and slideshow was done in iPhoto.  The Final Cut project was rendered prior to export to QT,  the slideshow was sent to iDVD withoutrendering. The slideshow with most of the pictures from my still camera incombination with stills from movie clips and some downloaded from the Internet.After burning, the movie playback is perfect but the slideshow is not.  The slideshow containing 3 differentkinds of pictures; those from my still camera looks OK; the stills from themovie clips and from the Internet are not.  I don’t have much knowledge in this game, but I think NTSCwith frame size 720x480, and the downloaded picture Item Property shows most ofthem are between 400 to 500 x 300 to 600, may be both of them are not suitablefor TV screen while the stills from my still camera looks OK because they are2048x1536.  Please enlightenme.  Once again, thank you so much,I really appreciate the time you offered.
