How to stop Freeze frame jitter/fuzz in PE3

I used freeze frame to capture a video frame to add titles. During play the freeze frames have jitter or fuzzy look. Is this interlace problem? How do I get a freeze frame (duration 5sec) to look as clean during play as when paused?

Wes,
Usually, the best practice is to critically study the exact Frame, that you Export as a still. Due to the "effective shutter angle" of the camera, one frame might look a lot better, than the one just a frame earlier, or later.
I like to view the Program Monitor (the Preview), at 100% and use the Rendered Timeline, as ATR mentioned. If one is set to Fit (and not to 100%), it's a bit tough to get a good look at the frame.
It also might help to tell us the full details of the AV file that you are using, plus the Project's Preset. There could be an element there, that would improve your output.
Good luck,
Hunt

How do I freeze frame my video?

I have a video, but I want it to be freezed frame on the first frame for awhile while I put(build) some animation over it, then I want it to start playing. For some reason when it comes on screen it immediately starts playing. I've tried everything with the quicktime button in the inspector window but I can't get it to simply stay on the first frame for awhile while I build other stuff before I want it to play. How do I do it?
Thanks,
Brian

I tested for OP and again just now and it works for me with automatic builds on both the text and the movie. No need for "On Click" that I can see.
Poster Frame is a good tip but in this case OP asked for the first frame which is the default for QT movies poster image.

Stop the Frame from being able to be dragged

Hi all
I was hoping that someone could tell me how to stop the frame from being dragged
while a dialog is showing.
I am using this code to call the dialog.
When is is visible I can still click and drag the frame behind it.
I want to set it so you can not drag it until the dialog has be closed.
 public void runStartup() {
 Login dlg = new Login(this, "Login", true);
 Dimension dlgSize = dlg.getPreferredSize();
 Dimension frmSize = getSize();
 Point loc = getLocation();
 dlg.setLocation((frmSize.width - dlgSize.width) / 2 + loc.x,
 (loc.y + 22));
 dlg.setModal(true);
 dlg.pack();
 dlg.show();
 }

How do i freeze a frame

how do I freeze a frame on iPhoto?

If, as Larry guessed, you're wanting to get a frame of a movie as an image file you can do that with Quicktime Pro and Quicktime Player 7. Stop the movie on the frame you want and use the Export ➙ Movie to Picture menu option.
Or, play the movie in QT Player, free on the frame and take a screenshot.
OT

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.

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.

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 do I move a freeze frame from iMovie 11 as a photo into iPhoto?

In prior versions of iMovie, I could isolate a freeze frame or still from the movie clip and then move it somewhere and it would become a regular photo to be manipulated in iPhoto. How do I do that in iMovie 11?

First, get an app called MPEG Streamclip, which is free. (google MPEG Streamclip from 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.
You can then drag this photo into iPhoto.

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.
Denise

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.
Andy

How do i freeze a frame in a movie and hold it for several seconds?

Hi
I have a clip where someone turns round and gives the 'thumbs up' to the camera - how do i hold this thumbs up position, for several seconds?
Do i need to export a frame and import it back to the timeline or what?
thanks

Cut the clip in the timeline at the point where you want the "Thumbs Up" to freeze and make sure the playhead is on that frame.
Then select Modify>Make Freeze Frame.
The freeze-frame will appear in the Viewer.
Click on it and drag it down to the timeline.
You will have to alter its length according to what you want.
Ian.

How to stop sound from playing everytime we go to 1st frame ?*

Hi everyone, my app has 3 frames and a sound playing on background so everytime i go to 1st frame the music play's over himself,
is easy to get 5 instances of the music playing at same time.
How to stop this behavior ?
Music file imported to library.
Sound Linkage: export for actionScript
Sound Linkage: export in frame 1
Any help are welcome
Flash CS6 - AIR 3.4 Android and iOS > CODE:
//sound
var bgSound:BGLoop = new BGLoop();
var channel:SoundChannel=new SoundChannel();
playMusic();
//making mute;
soundBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP , mute);
function mute(event:MouseEvent) {
    //removing mute function then adding unmute function to same button
    soundBtn.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP , mute);
    soundBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP , unMute);
    //making symbol to visible;
    soundBtn.gotoAndStop(2);
    //set the volume false;
    SoundMixer.soundTransform = new SoundTransform(0);
//making unmute
function unMute(event:MouseEvent) {
    soundBtn.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP , unMute);
    soundBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP , mute);
    soundBtn.gotoAndStop(1);
    //set the volume true;
    SoundMixer.soundTransform = new SoundTransform(1);
function playMusic():void {
    channel = bgSound.play();
    channel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, loopMusic);
function loopMusic(e:Event):void {
    if (channel != null) {
        channel.removeEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, loopMusic);
        playMusic();

Another way to do this is to create a boolean right off the start. Lets say var createMusicTrack:Boolean and set it to true
Then load your music and start playing it and at the end of that load code add a line that sets the boolean to false so that when you come back to frame 1 the boolean will be false and the code will not load and play, but this could be problematic too. Djnr suggestion is better for your purposes.
