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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Thank you for your help....

    Frank31,
    Syncing music to the iPod is a one-way street, as discussed in this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302155
    If you are concerned about using up your computer's hard drive for music, and are using iTunes 7, you might consider creating your library on an external drive if one is available.
    This article discusses creating an alternate iTunes library in another location, such as another drive:

  • I have read some forums but cannot obtain a still image from iMovie.  How do I do this in iMOvie 11 9.04.

    Hi
    Can anyone tell me how to obtain a still image from iMovie 11 version 9.04.  I have read some forums but cannot find the solution.  I have also read the Apple help pages but the instruction does not fit the options available.  I need to get a few stills from a movie to add the stills to the website.  PLease any help?

    Thank you Neil,I have a macbook pro with snow leopard v.10.6.8.included intell core 2 duo with a processor speed 2.5ghb with one processor and cores 2.
    can i download onto my laptop an update  by internet to my imovie 8.0.6 directly or as i have read, the system will not let me do that unless i have imovie 9.0.0 already which i do not have.
    Perhaps i misunderstand you. Do you mean purchase a software copy from an apple Store and the can i directly upgrade.
