I took a still shot from old movie in iMovie and now want to work with it on desktop.  How?

I took a still shot from an old family movie in iMovie.  Now it is a still in my project library of iMovie.  How can I copy it and put it on my desktop where I can email it?  I need to get it out of iMovie and onto my desktop.  Help!

See this User Tip for how I do it.

  • I just finished creating a movie in IMovie and now want to burn it to a DVD and make it loop.  Since I just purchased this IMac it no longer comes with IDVD.  My question is how to burn and loop a dvd without IDVD.  Thanks for any help.

    I just finished creating a movie using IMovie and want to burn it to a DVD and loop it.  Since I just purchased this mac it looks like they no longer include IDVD.  Is there something out there to help me do this.  I am new to MAC and any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks

    There is free open source software called Burn that will burn DVDs. Here is a link.
    If you wish to pay for software, there are many, including TOAST TITANIUM from Roxio. Apple's retail copy of iLife 11, and Apple's Compressor.
    Of these, I would say that iDVD is known for being able to create very professional looking DVDs with intros, menus, lots of interesting templates.
    Toast is much simpler and the menus and templates are more plain.
    Compressor is a professional tool that does a lot more than make DVDs. Don't expect much in the way of menus or templates.
    Burn, I have never tried, since I have iDVD and Toast for those ocasions when I need to burn a DVD. However, since it is free, I think it is worth a try.
    Each software package is a little different, but in general, in iMovie, you can use the SHARE menu to SHARE/MOVIE in Large size. Save the movie to your desktop or someplace you can easily find it. Then drag it into the tool of your choice. You can alsouse SHARE/MEDIA BROWSER/LARGE if you have iDVD or Toast.

  • I have a MacBook Pro. How do I capture a still picture from a video in iMovie and print the still picture?

    I have a MacBook Pro. How do I capture a still picture from a video in iMovie and print the still picture?

    Click iMovie/About. If you have version 9.0.4 (iMovie 11) this will work. If you have an earlier version, this will also work, but there are also other ways.
    First, get an app called MPEG Streamclip, which is free. (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.
    I have created a short video Tutorial on how to do this. There is one error in the Tutorial, where it says that Command-click is the same as right-click. I should have said Control-click instead.

  • I downloaded and bought a movie from iTunes on my iPad and now want the same movie on my MacBook Pro but its not offering me to download it, it giving me the options of buying it which I already did. How I get the movie onto my MacBook?

    I downloaded and bought a movie from iTunes on my iPad and now want the same movie on my MacBook Pro but its not offering me to download it, it giving me the options of buying it which I already did. How I get the movie onto my MacBook?

    You can connect the iPad to your Mac's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, that should copy it over to the Movies part of your library.
    Depending upon what country that you are in, and whether the film studio allows it, you might also be able to re-download it on your Mac via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page.

  • When I have made a movie in Imovie and I want to transfer it to Theater I get the following comments: Imovie is updating your Theater, You can't add or remove movies right now. Please try again in a moment. I have reinstalled,  Imovie to no avail

    when I have made a movie in Imovie and I want to transfer it to Theater I get the following comments: "Imovie is updating your Theater, You can't add or remove movies right now. Please try again in a moment". I have uninstalled and reinstalled Imovie to no avail, cleaned with "Onyx" etc.

    This simply means it is set to Automatically update and you should not have to do anything with it.
    When you put new music in iTunes , it will automatically go on the iPod next time you connect it.
    This is the default to make it very simple and very easy to use.
    If you want to do it all yourself, iTunes prefs -> iPod.
    Set to Manually manage songs and playlists.
    You have to drag songs to the iPod and delete them from the iPod.

    Why do you believe you are entitled to an upgrade?
    Do you get to upgrade to a new car when the manufcaturer releases a new model?
    What about tv's? Computers? Appliances?
    This is no different.  If you want the newest model, buy it.

  • How to create and export a still frame from a movie in iMovie 09

    Disclaimer: Apple does not necessarily endorse any suggestions, solutions, or third-party software products that may be mentioned in the topic below. Apple encourages you to first seek a solution at Apple Support. The following links are provided as is, with no guarantee of the effectiveness or reliability of the information. Apple does not guarantee that these links will be maintained or functional at any given time. Use the information below at your own discretion.
    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.

    First, click iMovie/About and see which version you have.
    Versoon 9.0.2 would be iMovie 11.
    Follow the instructions [in this post|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=13065602#13065602]
    If you have Version 8.0.6, that is iMovie 09 and you should see the Reveal In Finder option.

  • Change from pc to mac computer and I want to sync with my new equipment

    I change my old computer, but I bought some songs directly from my apple tv, now I want to sync my new computer but I dont want to lost that songs, how can I do it?

    Do you not have a backup of the songs on AppleTV, did the old computer drive fail?
    If you still have the old computer I'd sync the song back to iTunes on that, then copy them to the new computer from the iTunes folder on there.
    If this isn't possible, you may well lose the song on AppleTV by setting up a new sync library - previously synced content will definitely delete, and the direct purchased stuff may too.
    You may have to contact your iTunes store from the support pages and ask if they'll re-enable the downloads of the music on the new computer. No guarantees, but they may do so.

  • I have loaded video from vas tape to dvd and now want to rip chapters to put on another dvd.  When I rip I get large black borders on each side.  I am a novice what can I d? thanks

    chapters and write them to a new dvd.  The problem is that I get a large black border on each side.  What can I do? thanks

    Sounds like you have standard definition material in a 4:3 format that you have put in a 16:9 project.
    The solution is to change your project aspect ratio to 4:3
    Recognize you will still have the black bars (called pillarboxing) when you play the material on a 16:9 TV. (The DVD player will generate them.)
