How can I delete the video and keep the Audio in a few frames using Imovie 11

How can I delete the video and keep the Audio in a few frames using Imovie 11?

I've met the problem too before. but i solved it with Audio Converter Mac instead of iMovie. If you have similar situation that just want to keep audio but not video, and if your file format is not workable in iMovie, you can use the Audio Converter for help too. it can easily help to extract audio soundtrack from any video format. Or if you need to convert one audio format to another, it is a good choice too, because it supports many common audio output formats.

Can I create a still photo montage in one frame with imovie 08?

I want to cut a part of several single frames in imovie, and paste each of them in one single frame in imovie, or iphoto, so that I can print a single photo montage of all the cut images. Is this possible in imovie 08 and iphoto, and if not, does anyone know what software will do this?
Thanks, Rick

Sorry this isn't possible in im08, try creating single frames in PS and importing them into imovie.

Does anyone know how to add multiple pictures to a single frame in iMovie?

Maybe you would be better off posting this in the iPhoto or iDVD categories of the forums.

The answer to your question depends on what you ant to do with the DVD.
Do you want a DVD menu, slide show etc.
iPhoto will allow you to burn straight to a DVD. Just select the album you want to burn then go to share in the tool bar and select Burn.

Create jpeg from still frame in imovie

Hello,
Can anyone tell me how I can create a jpeg from a frame within imovie?
Thanks so much.
Ashley

I was just trying to figure this out the other day and found that you can easily do this from QuickTime Pro. So you'd need to export a small movie from imovie that contains the frame you want to grab (or a movie you've already created), and then from QuickTime Pro, from the file menu, choose export, and then choose "movie to picture". From that menu box you can choose a range of options and file types to save your image file. I couldn't find this feature within imovie. If you don't have QT Pro, it is a $30 upgrade to the base QT Player.

Converting still frames from iMovie

Hello, I took some still frames from iMovie (right click on playhead and say something like capture still whatev). I guess they are in .dv format which is fine for iMovie and iDVD, and maybe Final Cut Pro, but what if I want to take that still .dv and put it into photoshop to make a CD label? Photoshop doesn't do .dv, is there some converter I can get to convert from the .dv to the JPEG? or GIF? Thanks for the help.
I'm loving all the free software I can get for my Mac, so hopefully there's a free one out there.

Once you have created it, click on it to highlight and go to File > Save Frame As > and then save it as a .jpeg on the desktop (or wherever). Should be good to go then. I believe the default format is .jpeg.
Did that help?

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 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.

Duplicate/missing frames in IMovie '11 ver. 9.0.4

Hi,
When I import Canon 7D HD .MOV files (H.264 MP4, 1920x1280, 29.97 fps) into IMovie '11, I noticed that some frames are duplicated (probably to make up for missing frames), which results in motion "judder" when playing the clip in the main project window. This is especially noticeable when panning a shot, and appears to happen at every 3.5 sec of video.
It does not matter if video optimization (large or original) is turned on or off, when importing the clip. (I usually use original) Audio track remains unaffected.
Inevitably, this judder/stuttering is passed on to any form of video export, be it MP4 ,DV, MOV, etc., which ruins final product.
What's really strange is that the optimized clip that's created by IMovie and stored in the events folder, plays smoothly in Quicktime, no missing or duplicated frames. So it is something in IMovie's UI that's creating this problem. This should not happen at all - what is shown in IMovie's playback window should match the original or optimized video, frame for frame.
Is there anything I am missing as far as settings, or is something not right on my system? And yes, I did send Apple a bug report.
I am doing this work on a late 2007 17" 2.67 GHZ Intel Core Duo Macbook Pro, 4GB ram, Mac OS X 10.6.8 (slow, but steady)
Thanks for your input.

Hi! I ran into same problem!
I have iMovie version 11 9.0.4 (1634). Running on OSX Lion, 13" Macbook Pro Mid 2010 C2D 2.4GHz.
I used Samsung Galaxy S II to capture a small video of GT5 replay from LCD tv in 1080p (PAL, 25Hz) mpeg4 format. No matter what export settings I use the exported video file from iMovie has a several duplicate frames. I took the video file into Avidemux and stepped it through from frame to frame. Duplicate frames are:
26,27
42,43
104,105
120,121
137,138
153,154
and so on.... that is the reason for judder/jerky movement. Other programs like Blender (or Openshot movie editor on Linux) produced a nice and smooth video.
So I looked more into this problem and I noticed that when importing a video file into iMovie, DO NOT use the "optimize video" option. If I import my short movie into iMovie without doing the optimizing part, editing seems to be a bit slower but the exported video file plays smoothly. I couldn't find any duplicate frames. After using the "optimize full original size" option and then re-exporting the movie it was full of duplicate frames again...
I'm not sure what the optimizing does (using a faster intermediate codec/format?) but for this simple test it certainly ruins exported movies...
Not sure if this is any help to you, but you might want to try it...

How can I keep the 4.3 frame in Imovie 10

16:9 Imported video does not fill frame in IMovie 09

I have imported video shot with a Panasonic HVX 400. The raw imported MP4s show up as full screen 16X9 videos when I view them in Quicktime, but as soon as I import them into IMovie they end up with a large black box around them, looking like they're trying to fit them into a 4:3 apsect ratio. I have no idea whats happening. Any suggestions?

I also successfully created a still frame to a new project I created for this purpose.
Move to a frame in your EVENT, control left-click and select "Add Still frame to project" from the pop-up menue. It will be added at the END of your selected project.
After that, I am still trying to find a way to save that still to iPhoto'09 as a photo.

Missing frames in iMovie

I am trying to convert my old 8mm Camcorder tapes to iMovie HD. I have bought a Pyro A/V Link (analog to DV converter) and am connecting it to my iMac via a Firewire cable. However, after a few minutes of playing a tape into the converter and iMovie I get missing frames as if the computer can't keep up with the frames per sec coming from the Camcorder and converter. Does anyone have any clues on how to overcome this problem? I have all other applications turned off and it doesn't matter where I save the movie on the hard disc, the problem persists. Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Hi Gazza51,
Welcome to the forum!
I would advise to return the Pyro A/V link to the store where you bought it and have it replaced with Canopus ADVC 110. I own and have used one a lot with iMovie until I upgraded my equipment. Also, you will find many posts on this forum recommending exactly this piece of hardware. Firthermore, the iMovie forum could be a better place for you to search information about iMovie (it is already there I am sure and you do not even have to ask) than this forum which is more about Pro applications such as Final Cut.
