How to edit a freeze frame in Photoshop?

When making a freeze frame, the file that FCE creates is videofile AVI or MOV, the same as the source clip is. If I would like to edit the image in photoshop, it should be converted to still image?
Is there any way to do that in FCE?

OK. Thanks!
Eventhough I use Quick Time almost daily to export and compress movies, I´ve never before noticed that pop up menu.
I´ve been only wondering where all those formats disappeared from the main dialog box where all the other setting are done.
So I got two answers at the same time.

How to edit photo text in adobe photoshop?

how to edit photo text in adobe photoshop?

It will depend on the image. If it was one that was saved as a psd file and has layers (window>layers) {Look in the layers panel and see if you see a layer with a thumbnail that looks like a large T} In this instance, you can double click on that thumbnail to highlight the text then type in its replacement.
If the image is a jpg which does not support layers, transparency or live text, then that would mean that you need to use the selection tools to select that text and fill it with the same color as the background. You can then use the text tool to type in the text you want.
Remember to save a copy as a psd file so you can edit the text at a later date.

How to remove a freeze frame in final cut pro x

I've added a freeze frame using Add Freeze Frame, but I don't know how to remove it and go back to the normal timing. I can remove it immediately with Undo, but I don't know how to do it later. I've searched around and the only close answer is using Modify > Retime > Reset Speed, but that doesn't do anything. I also don't see anything in the Inspector window that allows me to remove the freeze frame. Thanks.

Hello Denise,
Assuming your clip is on the Primary Storyline:
Press Cmd+B to Blade the clip immediately before the frame in question.
Select the first part of the clip and press Alt+Cmd+Up-Arrow to lift it from the Primary Storyline.
Drag out the end to cover the duration of the clip you want to overwrite.
Press Alt+Cmd+DOWN- arrow to overwrite to the Primary Storyline.
I hope that's what you're looking for.

How to export a freeze frame in good quality ?

Hello
I'd like to export a freeze frame, but the quality I get is very poor. In the manual, it says:
"To eliminate interlacing artifacts, you can apply a deinterlacing filter in
Final Cut Express before you export a still image."
Does anybody know how to do it ?
Thasnks

Oooops ! I found it. If anybody i s interested, just go to Effects menu --> Video filters --> Video --> De-interlace

How to remove a freeze frame

Premiere Elements 4.0
How do I remove a freeze frame from my video? I think I put it in there by using the camera icon and set it for a certain duration. Now I cannot get rid of it.

Thanks for your replies. Sorry I haven't had time to check back before today. Neither of these approaches seems to work. If I simply left click on the frozen frame and then right click, it gives me a GRAYED OUT option to "Delete and close gap" but because it is GRAYED OUT nothing happens - the feature does not work. I tried to cut the clip just before it and just after it, then group it and delete it and that did not do it either. It only deleted the two tiny clips, but not the frozen frame I really wanted out. This is really driving me crazy. I have gone on and fixed most everything I want to fix in the project, but still want to remove frozen frame. I cannot find out how to simply remove it. When I find the help section to add a "freeze frame" it doesn't seem to tell me how to delete it. The only time I can delete it is if I have not saved the project since I added it. Thanks again for your help. I dont' seem to have any other functionality issues that I am aware of.

How to make a freeze frame sequence

title pretty much says it

I don't know what a freeze frame sequence is. Sounds it is a bunch of freeze frames tied together, or it could be a video that plays for a while and then freezes.
In the first case you might want to try posterize time, which would make a video jump say 10 frames at a time.
In the second case, you would move the CTI (Current Time Indicator) to the point when you want to freeze the frame and then go to Layer > Time > Freeze Frame.
If a freeze frame sequence is something else please give us an accurate description or example.

How to edit existing gif file using photoshop (CS2)

Hello Forum,
I have some gif images that I have used for creating tabs on a
web page. I downloaded these images from somewhere, and did not create them
myself. I would like to change the color of these gif files.
They are a nice image, with a gradient applied at the top, and I have a left side gif for the tab as well as an "over" image set for the tab(s) as well.
I use the images in a css file to display the tabs on a web page.
The gradient is across the top of the tab, which is a lighter color, almost going to white, and the rest of the tab is a light blue, with left and right top a slight rounded corner. I would like to preserve the gradient appearance, but change the light blue theme to an almost black (#333333) color.

Hi All
I would like to create an action in CS2 to resize an image to e.g 600 x ? pixels and then save for web at max 149kb .
Any clues? I've tried a few different files of different file sizes?(possible cause here) and always end up with different results when using my actions or the image processor.
Is this at all possibleto accomplish in a single step?
Let me elaborate more. On a particular forum where post we are limited to 600 x? pixels and file size no greater than 150 kb. When creating this action in CS2 with different file sizes one lands up with files ranging from 70kb (not as good for viewing) to 149kb(perfect size)or 357kb?(way too big). I'd like to have as close to <150kb for ALL files in the "action"
Is this possible without getting into scripting?
Thanks

How to edit RAW in external editor (photoshop)

Aperture duplicates the version and gives me a psd file open in photoshop. What I want is the Adobe Camera Raw editor, that's why I shot it in raw in the first place. Any workaround other than pulling the master out of aperture and doing it manually?
Also, anyway to disable the annoying metadata hud that pops up on rollover of previews in aperture?

Here is an idea I have been playing with for the new CS3 version of Photoshop.
1. Locate the RAW files you want to process outside of Aperture's Library. You can do this by storing your masters as referenced images and using Aperture's 'Show in Finder' command.
2. Open the RAW file directly with Photoshop CS3. Choose the 'Open as Smart Object' check box in the ACR settings dialog box. Save the resulting file and import that newly saved PSD back into to Aperture.
3. From inside Aperture you can open this file using the 'Open with External Editor' command. Once you do this you will have two masters of the same images. Unstack the masters and delete the one that you imported--saving the one with the bulls-eye badge. That second one that you saved can be opened directly to Photoshop and re-adjusted using the ACR plug-in any time you want.
This workflow gives you nearly all of the benefits of directly editing the RAW file using Aperture's controls. It would be a bit slow to do it with a 1000 images. I am thinking about ways to run this using Automator and Applescript.
Is there a reason that Aperture's RAW processing doesn't work for you. I find that for supported cameras it is the equal of Photoshop's ACR and better in some regards.

16:9 Freeze frame

how to 16:9 Freeze Frame?
It have 16:9 DV and resulting image as a PSD with QT Export is 4:3
sure I can cmd-T > transform it in photoshop in a 16:9 template but isnt there a more elegant way.

The simplest method to make a freeze frame from the Timeline (or from another video source in the Viewer) is to choose the frame and chose the menu item "Modify > Make Freeze Frame" (shortcut "Shift N") which will load the current fame into the Viewer as a freeze frame the duration of which is set in "User Preferences" and at the aspect ratio of the source. In Final Cut Pro it will be displayed at the correct aspect ratio so no need to convert.
If you are talking about exporting a freeze frame out of Final Cut Pro as a still then it is a different thing.
The PAL frame is 720 pixels x 576 pixels and this is the same for both 4x3 and 16x9. But the 16x9 image has an anamorphic horizontal squeeze on in it. To see it un-squeezed on a still image simply change the horizontal size from 720 to 1024 pixels in Photoshop and Bob's your uncle.
Not 100% sure for NTSC but I think it is 720 pixels expanded to 853 pixels? No doubt someone can correct me here if this is wrong.

OpenGL, games, choppy freeze-frames [solved by pacman -Syu]

I have this problem but so far it's only in OpenGL games. Probably because they are the only thing capable of demanding much from the CPU. It affects games played in wine as well as native ones. The application running is spiking when the graphics lag. Xorg, however, is not spiking in CPU load, nor is anything else. And I'm not running out of memory, either. I'm running a bare-bones window manager with no composite garbage or anything.
I tried adding nopat to the kernel boot line, and I think I tried every xorg.conf setting the internet could help me dream up. In my internet travels there also seems to be a fair amount of very similar issues related to ATI users, as well, but that's not to say their drivers aren't garbage, either. They probably are. Anyway, the issue seems to keep popping up in Ubuntu forums, probably due to Ubuntu's popularity.
I have found no remedy. But then, I'm not the one to be weighing in. I'm hoping to reign in some experts. I'd love to know how to stop the freeze-frames in graphics-intensive opengl games. They're somewhat unplayable if the frame freezes long enough to get pwnt. I've spent a few days on this, so here I am. Thanks to any suggestions or questions. Willing to revisit my xorg.conf if necessary.
I'm using Everquest 2 in Wine, and I downloaded Savage2 last night to cross-test the situation. Ayup. Freeze-frame issue is less frequent, but lasts longer per incident.
System is 2.4ghz Athlon64 1mb L2 single core processor with 2gb of PC3200 RAM, and an AGP-based 7900GS video adapter.
One last question, how do I copy the contents of configuration files so I can paste them here. My clipboard won't clear or accept contents from terminal apps. Not sure which problem between those it is. I used to be able to highlight the contents and then middle-click to paste.

Best Way To Freeze Frame?

I have had mixed results with an ending freeze frame coming at the end of a movement sequence. I've tried match frame then exporting as a jpeg, and then inserting the still clip...but it still doesn't look exactly like the ending frames of the movement sequence. Also desaturation sometimes makes it a little muddy, coming at the end of a crystal clear segment.
So, what is the best way to create a freeze frame on the end of a movement sequence?
Thanks.

1. Place your playhead on the frame of the clip in your sequence you want to make a freeze frame of
2. Press "shift + n" and a freeze frame will appear in the Viewer
3. Set the duration of your freeze frame, in the duration field in the top left corner of your Viewer
4. Edit your freeze frame to the timeline (your sequence) by doing an overwrite edit
You could also make a freeze frame with time remapping. It depends how long your want your freeze frame to be.
Good luck!

How do I export a freeze frame in CS4?

There's no longer an "Export/Frame" menu option in CS4 (as there was in CS3).
How can I export a simple freeze frame from Premiere into another editing program, such as Photoshop?
Thanks.

I've torn out half my hair trying to answer the same question. I think I have an answer and it had nothing to do with the many hours I've spent in Adobe's help and Forum to get an answer. I had to figure it out myself.
Here it is: Because CS4 handles HD video, they don't export straight to JPEG. They export to TIFF which is higher resolution than JPEG. That's my guess, anyway. To export a frame grab, go to FILE>EXPORT>MEDIA. On the top right side of the window in the Format box, click the down arrow to open the list and select TIFF. Click Okay.
Another box will open up. This is the Adobe Media Encoder window. Yeah it's new to me too.
The file you are trying to export should show up in the box with all it's wonderful detail including where you want it to go. If you want to change the name of the exported frame, click on the 'Output File' portion of the detail and a 'Save As' window will pop up and you can rename the file. Otherwise, CS4 will give it a generic name for you and you'll have to go find it.
When you get done click 'Okay' and it takes you back to the Media Encoder window. From there click on 'Start Que' and the file gets saved. Click on the upper right X and the Media Encoder window closes. There is no 'Done' or 'Close' button that I can find.
Somehow I got my file to save as a JPEG the first time but I'm unable to duplicate my steps now, so just know that it can be done and be willing to experiment a little from here. If you click on Add, it offers the JPEG format but it's trying to OPEN a file instead of SAVE. I'll have to keep working on that part.
I hope this helps. These turkeys at Adobe should hire me as a troubleshooter and manual writer - I spend a lot of time trying to figure out things they don't document in the manual or help files. As for the Forum - they can stuff that, it's useless. This should be an exquisitely simple task - we all do frame grabs. But they've made it into a monstrous chore.

How to edit a PDF in Photoshop CS4

Hi there,
I'm having some real trouble trying to figure out how to edit a PDF in photoshop cs4. So i need to edit/change text, move things around, that type of thing.
I work in Windows.
Could someone give me a bit a low down on how this is done?
Much appreciated,
Victoria

You can open them but you will totally rasterize everything.
PDFs are not intended to be edited. They are a final format but as
mentioned you can use Acrobat for some minor text edits or use it to
extract the images to Photoshop for further editing.

Unable to change Still/Freeze Frame Duration in User Pref Edit tab

Process-selected new project, change Still/Freeze Frame Duration in user preferences on the edit tab.
Need to change to 10 minutes. Typed in the field 00:10:00:00. When I hit ok, I get a beep and it defaults back to what was in there, 01:00:00:00. So tried a larger number 02:00:00:00. Same result. A beep.
So went ahead with project and opened a sequence and tried to change it from the viewer. Same issue.
Trashed prefs and started from scratch. Same issue.
Ideas?

Trashed prefs rebooted originally.
Process as follows for trashing prefs. First time through I had opened a project. This time did not.
Open Home Folder
Open Library
Open Preferences
Delete com.apple.finalcutpro.plist
Open Final Cut Pro User Data
Delete Final Cut Pro 5.0 Prefs
Delete Final Cut Obj Cache
Delete Final Cut Prof Cache
Run disk utility to repair permissions.
Reboot.
Did not open a project this time.
Same issue but now I am able to put a slug in the time line and by selecting clip properties, can set the duration (was not able to do this before so some progress). Still can't set duration though as earlier described from edit tab on the user preferences page for still/freeze duration.

I wish to export several still images from iMovie as JPEG or TIFF. Is it possible to do this using iMovie, if so how? Any advice is greatly appreciated. I've already managed to add a freeze frame to extract the desired frame but I can't export it. Thanks.

I wish to export several frames from iMovie as if they were images (like JPEGs or TIFFs). Is it possible to do this using iMovie, if so how? Any advice is greatly appreciated. I've already managed to 'add a freeze frame' to isolate the desired frames but I can't export it. Thanks.

Ach... I found a solution thanks to previous posts which came to light after I'd posted what was obviously a question that had been asked before.
