  • How to save a still image from video without Photoshop

    So- I need to save a still from some video but I do not have Photoshop. How can
    I do it. Is it possible in FCP? Any other ideas?

    In your timeline, park the playhead on the frame you want to make the still from; now double click anywhere in that video clip, and it will appear in the viewer. Then Shift/N will make the still frame for you. Now go to the file menu and choose Export/QuickTime conversion, choose Still Image, and under options, set the image type.
    I've also discovered recently that MPEG streamclip can produce very good still frames; if you have a QuickTime movie you've already made from an FCP sequence, you can very quickly drag it to an MPEG Streamclip window, move the playhead to the frame you want, and choose Export Frame from the File menu. You can then choose an image type, and a location for the image file.
    Useful if you don't have FCS open at the time.

  • Create still images from video files?

    from http://gadgetwise.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/04/16/5-new-photoshop-tips-for-photographers/ , "You can now preview video in Bridge and create still images from video files."
    I just installed the 5.4 Camera Raw Update.
    I can preview the AVI files from my Nikon D5000, but have not figured out how I might create a still image ( other than stopping the movie, and dragging to copy ) Have tried searching adobe, this forum, have not found more info ion this.

    Stop the video at the desired point, press the Shift, Command, and 4 keys, drag the cursor so that the whole picture is highlighted, let go of the button, and open the PNG on the desktop.

    How do I take still Photos from Videos on iphoto 11

    You do not - use iMovie or an external editor that has this capability - I believe QuickTime Pro does

  • Creating still images from video

    About two days ago I downloaded some Itunes videos and was able to save stills (images) using quicktime's copy option. However, once Itunes updated.. quicktime would not allow me to do this and would save as a gray image instead. I've now downloaded quicktime pro and read the instructions to save stills. However, the export button will not work for me. Any ideas on how to fix this? thanks.

    Are these "purchased" files from the iTunes Store?
    If so they are "protected" files and copying is not allowed.
    The free version of the QuickTime Player can copy a single frame from any non protected QuickTime file. The free version can't "export" and the copy must be pasted using an image editing app into a new file.

  • Is there a way to create a still image from video in either imovie or iphoto?  I want to add an arrow to an imovie and so far have not had any luck but I'm thinking I might be able to add an arrow to a photo and then incorporate it into the movie.

    I'm still trying to point out a location in an imovie with an arrow.  I thought I might be able to insert an arrow in a still photo from the imovie and then reinsert the photo in the movie but my attempts at capturing a still frame from a video in imovie or iphoto haven't worked so far.  Any ideas any one???

    First, get an app called MPEG Streamclip, which is free. You can find it by googling MPEG Streamclip Squared 5.
    Open MPEG Streamclip.
    In iMovie, select the clip you need. Then, right-click/Reveal in Finder.
    Drag this clip into MPEG Streamclip
    In MPEG Streamclip, move the playhead to the frame you want.
    In MPEG Streamclip, click FILE/EXPORT FRAME.
    Choose JPEG, TIFF, or PNG and give it a name.
    Also, for how to add a pointer, try Karsten Schluter's website for a good post on how to do this.

  • Error when trying to save still image from video with Quicktime Pro

    I just purchased Quicktime Pro so that I can use it with my new Nano (the one that shoots video). I want to grab a frame from the video and create a still image (in jpeg format). I should be able to do it, but when I try, I get an error 11005 (or something like that). Anyone know any way to fix this? Thanks!

    I also tried the alt/ctrl/shift buttons when clicking Editor in the Photoshop welcome screen. It did ask if I wanted to reset the preferences. I chose yes. I still get the same error message when trying to save for web.
    Below....showing I don't have a "save for web" folder on my C drive.
    And below, showing the same error after pressing alt/shift/ctrl when clicking on editor and clearing the preferences.
    I don't have a 'Save for Web' folder anywhere on my C: drive. I searched and came up with no folder with the text "save for web" in it.
    I did find a "save for web" folder on my D: drive and deleted that.. but now when I start up Photoshop, the option for Save for Web is grayed out...not able to select it.

  • Grabbing still shots from video using iMovie

    Is it possible to grab stills from the iPod videos using iMovie?

    I'm not familiar with that software, but I imagine it would be fine (depending on your needs).
    For most people, it doesn't really matter which software you use on your computer. They'll all do basically the same thing.
    You could also use Google's Picasa 3 software for PC. If you import and playback a video, you have an easy solution to pause, select a frame you like, and click a convenient "Take a Snapshot" button.
    If you don't even want to use third party software, you could cheat (again), and just use Alt+PrtSc to copy an active window into your clipboard, then open paint, paste the captured image, use select/crop to remove the window border, and save. It's a quick, cheesy way to make an image file of just about anything. If you want to reuse this video still in another video somewhere, this of course would not be a good solution.
    Go with Picasa (which is FREE), or probably your software as well.

  • How Do I Import Still Shots From iPhoto to iMovie?

    Hi! Well I'm trying to make a slideshow of still pictures on iMovie and I was able to finish most of it until now. Now whenever I try to import pictures to iMovie it won't let me and the desired spot for the picture has nothing but a bright green line. I've tried almost everything and I hope someone knows the answer because I'm clueless. Thank you!

    Hi
    Free space on start-up (Mac OS) hard disk. How much ?
    Other hard disks of NO interest.
    I set for a minimum of 25GB - if less then I free up this or even more.

  • How can you create a jpeg from video in imovie 13?

    In imovie11 you could hit share, convert using quicktime, and then select mov to jpeg or gif.  that option is not available in imovie13?  Anyone know how to create a jpeg or gif in the new imovie?

    When you say you would drag the image itself into the Swatch Palette and it would show the image itself? How would then use this swatch? Can you give an example of what you would apply a jpeg to as a swatch? The only palette that I can think of off the top of my head that you can drag a jpeg into and have the icon appear as the jpeg is the Symbols Palette. Is is possible that you were using the Symbols Palette in the past and not the Swatch Palette?

  • How to Make a Still from Video and Burning a DVD

    Hello All,
    I am using FCP HD and I would like to know how do you make a still photo from video footage?
    Also I have to burn an editing project to dvd. I don't know how to use studio pro, but the person said that it needs to be a ntsc full resolution version. I am not sure what that means.
    The project is about 10 minutes long and this person had me using the H.264. I have been playing around and I think I not doing something write because when I send the project to compressor it tells me that I have like 200+ hours befoe it outputs.
    Could someone give me some simple instructions using the H.264 on how to do a good large size (over 320x240) QT movie to dvd?
    THANKS...

    To export a still park the playhead on the image you want, mark IN OUT, go to FILE>EXPORT>QUICKTIME CONVERSION. Click on QUICKTIME MOVIE and In the dropdown choose STILL IMAGE.
    You will have to De-Interlace it in Photoshop after you export.
    As for making the DVD:
    Shane's Stock Answer #3:
    To export your DV project so there is no loss in quality, simply go to the File Menu and select EXPORT>QUICKTIME MOVIE. Not Quicktime Conversion, fot this will compress the footage. Make sure the settings match your timeline settings, make it self contained and you are set.
    Import this into iDVD or DVDSP and burn your DVD. Don't go the h.264 route.
