How to take a still Jpeg from FCP sequence?

Hi, a client wants a still Jpeg from my timeline to use in the local newspaper. How do I get a good still image out of the Final Cut Pro timeline?
Thanks
Kevin

Unfortunately, you're limited to the resolution of the source video. Load the source clip in the viewer, (you can match frame back) park it at the appropriate frame, and go to file: export: quicktime conversion and choose still image. You will be limited by the pixel dimensions of the source with a dpi of 72.

How can I take a still image from a video?

I'll assume you want to create a still to use outside FCPX, not a still frame within FCPX. It's kinda hidden in the "share." Go File/Share/Add Destination. You want "Save Current Frame." After you've created that destination, it'll be there for you in the future under Share.

Is there a way to create still jpegs from video clips in iMovie?

I shot some video on Christmas day and imported them to iMovie 9.
I want to creat some jpegs from the video clips and print them as photos.
Is there a way to create a jpeg from a video clip and save the file?
Thanks for the info!
Len

Here is a method for extracting a still from iMovie 09.
Are you working in iMovie and realize that certain frames in the movie would be perfect as photographs? Here is how to extract them...
*To get a still frame from an Event*, right-click on the frame and select "Add Still Frame to Project". The still will be added to the end of the current project. Right click on the still frame in the project and select "Reveal in Finder". You will see a jpeg file that is highlighted. Drag this jpeg file in the finder to the iPhoto icon on your dock.
*If you want a still from a project*, rather than an event, the process is similar, except you right-click on the frame and select "Add Freeze Frame", and it adds the freeze frame at the end of the clip rather than at the end of the project. Right-click/reveal in Finder, drag JPEG to iPhoto icon in dock.
*If you are not using iPhoto*, and just want to save to your desktop, click Reveal in Finder as above, then COPY, then PASTE to desktop.
Hint: If you do not want to clutter up your iMovie Project with stills at the end that you would have to go back and delete, then create a separate iMovie Project just for your stills, and follow the instructions for capturing stills from an Event.
Note: If you do not have a right mouse button, then control-click will work instead of right-click.

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.

Still images from FCP Studio 2

Ok, I have done it again. I edited a documetnary yet, forgot to have a photographer on the set.
I have captured some great images using my HVX200 but of course when exporting a still from FCP, the resolutin is only 72dpi and I need 300.
Could I import teh stills from FCP into Photoshop and just change the dpi? Would this be suitable for printing the images?
When doing that, it seems just to make them a larger photo.
THANKS!
Lawrence

Yes, you can change the DPI to 300. No, this won't make the images any sharper. They started out 1280x1080, 72dpi. Merely increasing the DPI won't make them higher resolution. It will still look like video. If you hire a photoshop pro, a graphics designer, they might have a few plugins in their toolkit that can help, like Genuine Fracals that help with upscaling smaller images, plus know-how on how to deal with this. But it won't look like it originated from a 12 MP camera.
Suitable for printing? That's up to you. How does it look to you?

Creating stills (jpeg) from DV video

Hi there,
I have just finished creating my iMovie but now I would like to capture a still image (ie jpeg) from it. I intend to use this image in iWeb (seperate to the finished video) and also in other applications.
I understand that I can capture a still frame and export it as a Quicktime file but is there any way to convert it into a jpeg (or similar) so I can use it as a picture?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

How about a screen capture?
Command-Shift-4 will turn your cursor into "cross-hairs". Drag it across your image and a copy (.png format) will be made on your Desktop. Use Preview to convert the .png to .jpg format.

How do you make a jpeg from a clip

How do you extract (or make) a jpeg from an iMovie clip. That is,the fairly new edition of iMovie?

You could just make a screen grab of the video playing, that is the easiest.
Open photos app, and play the video, pause where you want the image from.
Then hold the power and home button to grab a still image of the screen.
There is an app called videopix that can also grab full frame video grabs.

How to take bake my data from an Iphone which is in recovery mode.

Hi All,
I badly need to take my datea back from my Iphone which is in recovery mode.
here is my story, I went to a very important scientific conference and I was excited about using my Iphone to do all the tasks I used to do with paper including taking notes,writing contacts and taking pictures from the people names, presented papers and.... I got plenty of valuable information (what is the point of having an smart phone and still sticking to paper-based anti-trees world)
then I came back home and start sync-ing my phone with my laptop(PC). since my iphone was downloading its new component from the web(as I checked "dont ask me again") while it was synchronizing and I went to sleep I am not sure that hibernating my laptop or that new component made my phone go into the recovery mode.
after number of appointment with different app-stores, all "genius" staffs told me that they can only restore my phone by a simple click and nothing more.
I can not believe that apple-store does not have any other tool than can communicate in lower level to take my data back. I feel that this best well known customer care does not care about the data people losing because of their bug. I would pay Apple store to restore my data if they provide this kind of service.
I was told it is a common issue and if I try to use some online software then my phone will get out of its warranty and then they will not even be able to diagnose the problem later!!( which one is more important? cause or effect? when apple people already know the reason as a generic bug)
I bought this phone in January and I was very happy with it until this thing irritated me to its most possible amount.
It is very hard for me to accept that all my networking in the conference will be screwed up only because of the bug I was never told before about! I think it is not fair to not be aware of an usual problem to be safe and it would be the most lack of the customer care which holds an apple logo on it.
Thanks,
A

How do I export 72ppi jpegs from InDesign without losing quality?

I need to export indesign files that I design to 72ppi for web without losing any quality (or as minimal as possible). Countless times I have tried different methods, but alwasy manage to create a workaround, whether it be good quality, or just readable text. ITs really the small text I have the problem with. I explain in the below video my problem in further detail. But basically, I have tried many things such as pasted from indesign to photoshop, exporting to 300ppi jpeg and resizing in photoshop, exporting to 72ppi jpeg and viewing (not good at all), exporting as PDF, opening in photoshop ticking anti alias and inputting my dimensions... how can I get this to work?? Someone please help.. I have battled this problem for to long and my boss is getting annoyed with it. We need to fix this.
Many people say to export to PDF and then open in photoshop and save as a jpeg from there.. but how can i export a PDF to 72ppi?? Please Adobe fix this issue in future editions of InDesign. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help
Here is a link to the video if yu can't view it below: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uqsGnhT3gY&feature=youtu.be

You have it backwards. You export a PDF, and when you open it in Photoshop, that's when you pick the resolution. Any text in the PDF will likely be vector data, and it will be changed into bitmap data at the resolution you choose. I'll give you an example:
I placed a 300ppi image (5.7MB Photoshop tiff) into an InDesign page with three captions (12pt, 9pt and 6pt). I exported the page as two different PDFs. One was set to High Quality Print (a1) and the other to Smallest File Size (a2). A1 came in at 446KB and a2 came in at 37KB. When opened in Photoshop, I picked 72ppi as the resolution, flattened and saved as an RGB Jpeg without color profile and quality setting of 12.
The a1 jpeg was 180kb in size and a2 was 156kb, so not too far apart, considering the difference in file size between the PDF versions. If you open the jpegs in Photoshop, you will see that the size of the letter F at the beginning of the 12pt caption is nine pixels high in each, so if the problem you are having is that small text isn't readable, maybe the text is just too small to be readable at 72ppi.

How to take XML data source from URL?

Hi,
I creating application which need to download some data from any web page. This page is creating via XSL (as stylesheet) .This XSL
process some XML "data source" and generate HTML page. I wanna ask if exist some way how to take this XML "data source"? If i used
URL and take InputStream I everytime obtain full generated HTML, JavaScript page - compiled by web browser. But if i look to "page
source" of this page in web browser i see just that XML data source which i need to take (only at start of this xml is way to xsl
style sheet).
But this problem i have only at my required page.If i tried to take another page with similar structure code, it was succesful.
Here is link : LINK
Why i dont have permision take clear xml from this page?What is so special?
Exist some way how to take this XML without generated html code?
Thank you.

I apologize for my english. I try explain my problem again:
At this url [http://eu.wowarmory.com/item-info.xml?i=33677] is web page. If you look at "page source", web page is create via XML and XSLT. I need load this data source. I used DOMParser for that:
URL url = new URL("http://eu.wowarmory.com/item-info.xml?i=33677");
DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();
parser.parse(url);
XMLDocument doc = parser.getDocument();I get exception : Exception in thread "main" oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParserException: Expected '?>' instead of 'EOF'
If i used it at another page (for example [http://www.w3schools.com/XML/simplexsl.xml|http://www.w3schools.com/XML/simplexsl.xml] ), compile was successful and i can work with this XMLDocument and etc.
I try load it by InputStreamReader too:
URL url = new URL("http://eu.wowarmory.com/item-info.xml?i=33677");
try {
    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(url.openStream());
    String line;
    while ((line = br.readLine() != null) {
        System.out.println(line);
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace
}i get only compiled HTML code by web browser. At second page i load successfuly XML data - not compiled by browser.
Is possible to take original xml page source from this page? And what diferent is between this pages?
Thank you and i hope, you can translate this post without headache :-) If it will be necessary, i can more specify some details.

Still from FCP sequence

Hi everybody,
I have a problem exporting a still image from a FCP sequence that is rendered fine.
I have selected format under options of still image under export with QT. Seems to do something with I click on register, but nothing is done. I can't find any picture. I even searched my disk with "find" to make sure.
I never had this problem before. I just re-installed my FCP5.1, and upgraded. Nothing works.
What could be wrong ?
Thanks in advance
Ivan

Just to make sure go to the finder, open a new window (apple, N) then when the new window opens push Apple F to do a search. Change the where it says kind to Date Created and then right next to that choose Today. You will get a list of all the files you created today. If it doesn't come up with the images then you will know for sure that you didn't create, final cut pro is broken and you're screwed...
Just kidding. I would then trash prefernces, repair permissions and so forth. Before we go there do what I just described and report back.
