How to Edit individual frames

I'd like to touch up a problem in about a couple of hundred or so frames in an iMovie HD project that is otherwise complete. If it was a still, I could easily copy an adjacent region and paste it over the bad pixels in the problem area. If I could edit individual frames, I could copy the area once, and paste it into each frame.
It doesn't seem possible in iMovie itself. I've tried downloading some third party software, including a plugin for iMovie, but none worked.
What are the recommendations?
Thank you

'BTV Pro' has a feature to "average" several frames together. "..To create a noise-free image, the frame averaging feature takes a number of frames from the video input and averages them together to produce a single image. This can significantly reduce, or even eliminate, the noise in the video signal. This works because the image is constant but the noise is quickly varying so over several frames it averages to zero.."
But perhaps the adjustment you want is more drastic. (..And I don't know if 'BTV Pro' is a 'Universal' app, so it may need to run in 'Rosetta' on a MacBook - thus making it a bit slower than usual..)
As for other "copy and paste" movie-editing programs; 'MediaEdit Pro' (..there's a free trial download..) lets you 'paint' on video frames, but I don't know if that lets you do subtle touch-ups ..read more about it on their website.

  • How to edit a frame. Please Help!!!

    How can I edit a frame in After Effects.
    Example: I want to take out a chair that I'm seating on from the frame, how do I do that?

    Rotoscope
    Then you have to fill the hole.
    You make the fill by creating a "clean plate" or by filming one at the time of production.
    If you have no Idea what these terms mean then as Todd said in his fisrt post to the first time you asked this question, start with the basics.

  • How to write individual frames from a media file to a file.And also play it

    Hi,
    How do i access indivual media frame and save it to another file. One way is to use Cut.java, but i am unable to cut the frames repeatedly.
    I want to Seek an individual frame in the media and then write the frame to a file.
    regards.
    devendra.

    FrameGrabbingControl allows you to grab a frame. but you cant directly write from that frame. Do i have to create a dataSink.
    Actually i tried to do one thing that is, I used the cut program. But from that i can not repeatedly take out frame as media data.

  • I want to edit individual frames in FCE

    I am getting into some special effects, so I want to be able to take individual video frames and edit them in a program like Photoshop. Then put them back into FCE. How do I do this?

    Save each frame as a still image. Sounds like tedious work.

  • How to edit videos frame-by-frame and export in H264?

    I wish to edit some videos and then export them in H264 so I can use them on a website.
    I have tried to edit with iMovie 08 but can only edit second-by-second. I want to edit frame-by-frame ie to the millisecond. And it appears that iMovie 08 does not export in H264.
    I have looked at iMovie 11 which has a Precision Editor which would work to edit as I want but for that I would have to upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard which I don't want. It would export H264.
    I also have QuickTime Player 7 Pro but that too seems to edit only by the second not by the frame; it does however seem to produce H264
    How can I edit these videos precisely and produce H264? Is there another application which would work better (and doesn't cost a fortune).
    Thanks for any ideas

    I want to edit frame-by-frame ie to the millisecond.
    Am a bit confused by what you say. iMovie and QT 7 Pro are both "frame" level editors. However, some forms of editing are, by their very nature, applied over a range of frames which may be a part of your problem. In addition, since "normal" movies have frames which are spaced apart in the 16 to 42 ms range, your requirement to be able to edit to the nearest millisecond would seem unreasonable and would probably be unsupported for playback purposes without skipping 90+ percent of the frames on most platforms.
    And it appears that iMovie 08 does not export in H264.
    All of the "Share" and/or "Export" options (except Final Cut XML...) either default to H.264 or allow export to H.264 (or X264 if installed) video compression.
    How can I edit these videos precisely and produce H264? Is there another application which would work better (and doesn't cost a fortune).
    Difficult to say since you have not given any indication as to what you mean by "editing" here. You could, for instance, edit normal movie clips in a normal manner and then use an application like the JES Deinterlacer to change the playback time reference to achieve an effective 1 millisecond/frame playback rate you seem to want to target even though your platform cannot play every frame during playback.

  • How to edit video frames in Premiere like in Photoshop?

    Hi all!  So I have some videos I need to edit, and I am finally breaking into Premiere, might as well right, since I have CC, and I understand it is an awesome package.
    I am learning as I go here, but as for right now, my main objective is to edit some info in the video.  What would be real useful is if Premiere had like Photoshop tools bult in, so frame by frame, or for multiple frames, I can crop out, brush or pencil something in, or paint over something.
    Real example:  I have a video that has some phone numbers + promo codes across the bottom that is outdated and I need to change it.  It runs across the bottom for about 30 seconds.  What would be IDEAL is if I could select those 30 seconds, grab a paintbrush or outline the area with the selection rectangle, delete or paint it black, and then type in the new #'s.
    I looked and couldnt find an option to do this.  So far what I have done is export the video into JPG stills, 1447 files for a 60 seconds video.  Now I dont have all kinds of hours to do this, but if desperate I will go frame by frame in PS and do that, but I am cringing at this solution.
    There has to be something else... I know Premiere had some option to add subtitles but this is actual frame by frame graphic editing.
    (Along similar lines, isnt this how old movies are converted to HD? They sharpen and edit frame by frame from the old crappy res to HD res?)
    Thanks guys............

    Thanks for your response!
    1. Luckily as for the tel/promo code, they are on a back footer bg so thats easy then... but I am a noob at Premiere, whats the easiest way to "select" the desired frame set/duration? My instinctive method would be to put that red marker at the beginning and then **** click to the end, LOL... but I would need to micormange the duration to the exact frame so.....
    2. There is a section at the very beginning where some overlaid text is fading away and I would love to get that out as well, but it IS on an iragnic background of a guy approaching a house so..... I know this may seem like a lot of work, but if absolutely necessary, is there a way, well I'm sure there is, but how do you clone out that text for like 20-30-50 frames and import them back into Premiere to export as a video file?  When you export as JPG/TIFF sequence files, edit each one, can you simply re-import them to Premiere and it will process into an AVI or whatever?
    Thanks!

  • Creating GIF images, how do I edit all frames at once?

    Hey everyone. So I now how to make GIF images already. The problem I'm having is that I can't seem to figure out how to edit all the frames at once. I would like to brighten them up and add curves, maybe sharpen.
    I tried selecting all the layers, but then all the image editing options greyed out and weren't available.
    I really don't want to individually edit 58 frames, lol.
    Is there a way to edit all at once?
    PS - I'm using Photoshop CS3, if that helps!
    Thanks a lot!

    amazing, you're just amazing!!
    thank you SOOOOOO much!
    take care,

  • How to create a mask on individual frames of a video in Photoshop CS5 extended

    I am working on a video piece and I need to mask out a moving figure throughout the entire video, what is the best way to to this?  I know that I can import the video frames to layers in CS3 and then create a mask on each frame, but there are thousands of frames - and when I render the video from the animation it is slow to run in quicktime.  Even if I were able to edit each frame, it seems like there should be a better way... I'm not terribly familiar with using Photoshop to edit video, maybe there is another program that would do what I want in a better way?
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    This sounds like something Adobe Edge would be perfect for if it would just support video importing.
    I created a mask over a video in Flash, but I had to convert the background video (which is masked) from mov to flv. Then you import it into Flash and stick the transparent PNG on a top layer for a mask. You can also animate the mask in Flash somewhat... more so if it's a vector object.
    Result: Http://www2.avatarix.com/manatee
    I would prefer to do this in HTML5 though... which is what Adobe Edge is for. But I can't figure out how to import video into Edge. I've tried 5 different video formats... webm, ogv, mp4, mov and flv.
    Hoping this will be a feature when it's finally out in the market.
    The struggle continues.

  • How do I Clone dust spots from video across footage? I can do on individual frames but don't know ho

    How do I Clone dust spots from video across footage in CC? I can do on individual frames but don't know how to batch process .
    How do I save it after? Render?

    To fill in the void in the background, you can use the clone tool. However, for a large area that may not work well.
    A good alternative is to use a "digital patch". With the rectangular marquee tool , select a pleasing substitute from somewhere else in the picture (not a fire hydrant!),  then place this on its own layer (CTRL+J), and with the move tool position the patch and resize it if indicated
    You should also explore the Recompose tool (ALT+CTRL+R) which may work well for your purpose.

  • How to animate/delay individual frames in Flash CS3

    I need to animate 12 layers and I need layer 1 to be 2
    seconds, layer 2 at .5 seconds and so on......
    How do you change the individual frame delay in Flash CS3 so
    that they don't just keep animating fast and never stopping??
    Help!!

    Hmmm - not sure i understand your issue. F5 (insert frames)
    will lengthen
    the "exposure" of the layer. As to how to prevent them from
    "animating
    fast" - I don't understand what you are referring to - do you
    need to change
    the frame rate? When you say "never stopping" what do you
    mean? Flash loops
    by default in the player (playhead goes from last frame back
    to frame 1 and
    continues to loop).

  • How do I import individual frames from iMovie into iPhoto?

    How do I import individual frames from iMovie into iPhoto? Or how do I export individual frames from iMovie into iPhoto? My final goal is to have a DVD of individual photos from a video I recently shot. Thanks

    Here is one way to do it, although you will see there could be variations.
    1) Open iMovie
    2) Start a new project - name it Stills for iPhoto (or a name of your choice)
    3) Go to your EVENT. Find the spot with the cursor that you want a photo of. Right-click (or control-click if you don't have a mouse) and select ADD STILL FRAME TO PROJECT.
    4) The photo should be in the Project called Stills for iPhoto.
    5) Right-click (control-click) on the photo and select REVEAL IN FINDER.
    6)When the finder window opens, right-click and select COPY. Go to your Desktop or a folder of your choice and right-click PASTE
    7) Drag the photo from your Desktop to iPhoto

  • How do I display the individual frames of a clip in the timeline?

    I've imported an image sequence into Premiere Pro and dragged it into a video track so it shows up as a clip. So far, so good. But when I click on the display options for the track and "Show Frames", all it gives me are these large, unhelpful thumbnails along the the length of the clip that don't even match the timeline ruler at the top. I can't select individual frames to shuffle them around or delete them. I've tried looking in Preferences, View, etc., all over the internet through different forums, and right clicking everywhere in every window to try and find an option to turn on an individual frame view, and I found zilch. Any help with this problem would be much appreciated.

    No, it's not. The 'order' of animation is something that has to be carefully planned and tweaked by the animator, and anyway, there are different kinds of animation. Some is completely abstract, without any apparent order. And if all you have is a raw image sequence, like I do, then sometimes you have mistakes in one frame that were corrected in another, and you want to find them and take them out, not to mention experimenting with the timing. Let's say you have a motion that makes an arc in 12 drawings. If you take out 2 or 3 at different places towards the end, you can give the appearance that the animation subject complete the arc at an accelerated pace without the motion seeming 'incorrect.'
    What I need to do is to be able to grab and pull individual frames like this so I can properly put together my project.
