IMovie 08 exports reversed screen shot instead of movie to all targets

Capture - iShowU - Apple Animation - looks great - edits great - Can't get the **** thing out of iMovie - it exports a screen shot only - a backwards screenshot - like a negative - upside down as well - to iTunes, MediaBrowser, .Mac, YouTube - desktop.
Then I started from scratch - moved contents of iMovie folder to trash - re-imported clips - which were stored on an external drive - Same thing.

Note to Apple - Is this something that I can expect to be fixed or do I give up and start over?

  • Screen shots of DVD movies ?

    I like to keep still images of movies I have to a database of mine. With any software it's no
    problem but with DVD Player (Mac OSX) I cannot do that, DVD Player does not allow users
    to do screen shots while DVD Player is active.
    I bought the DVD movie not to mention the fact that its my computer and I'd like to do
    whatever I want with it. I fail to comprehend how doing a screen shot (image at 72 dpi...) of
    a movie constitutes a major criminal act...
    Please enlighten me......
    Is there any way of going around this ?
    Thanks

    I fail to comprehend how doing a screen shot (image at 72 dpi...) of
    a movie constitutes a major criminal act...
    It's not major, and it will result more in civil action than criminal.
    I cannot, based on the terms of use of this forum, tell you how someone using VLC or another movie-playing application could use Movie2Shot or some other kind of screen-grab software to commit these civil violations, so please don't ask me to.

  • How can I get TV shows viewed through Hulu Plus on the Apple TV 3 to show as widescreen with black bands above and below the screen shot instead of chopping off the sides on my non-widescreen TV?

    I just bought a new Apple TV 3 today so I can watch shows from Hulu Plus without having to physically plug in separate audio and video cables from my Macbook Air to the TV every time. I have a non-widescreen TV and when I normally watch Hulu Plus on the TV (though Safari on my plugged in Macbook Air as mentioned above), the entire wide screen shot is shown with black bands above and below the sceen shot since I am watching a widescreen program on a non-widescreen TV.
    However, I noticed that when I watch the same show through Hulu Plus on my new Apple TV 3, the left and right edges of the shot are chopped off to make the program fill my non-widescreen TV. This bothers me because I would like to see the full shot and not just the chopped off middle portion. This is a real bummber because watching Hulu Plus without having to plug in my laptop is the only reason I bought the Apple TV. Is there anything I can do about this?
    Thanks!
    (FYI: I have the very first Macbook Air that is not capable of mirroring)

    How are you actually connected to the TV?  Does it have HDMI?  Most non-widescreen TVs would not.
    I would suspect a converter is either not outputting properly, your TV not interpreting the signal properly or you have some form of Zoom setting enabled on the TV.
    How does your TV handle widescreen from say cable or terrestrial TV sources ?
    Unfortunately AppleTV is not designed to be used with non-widescreen TVs so there's no setting on AppleTV to tweak.

  • Capturing screen shots in iMovie

    Hi,
    I want to capture screen shots of my movie in iMovie to have still images from different scenes to then edit in photoshop. Is this possible, or do I need to get specific software for that? Does anybody know how to capture screen shots from an iMovie?
    Thanks,
    quadruple

    Position your cursor where you want the still.
    Right-click and select ADD STILL TO PROJECT
    You will see the still added to the en of your project.
    Now right-click on the still and select SHOW IN FINDER
    In the finder, right click on the still JPEG file and select COPY.
    Now you can paste the still onto your desktop or a folder of your choice and import into iPhoto or Photoshop.
    If you don't want to clutter your video project with stills at the end, you can start a new project for just the stills. Then you place the cursor within your EVENT at the point you want a still. Then Right-click and select ADD Still TO PROJECT. This keeps things tidy.

  • Imported Screen Shots are Blurry

    Hello FCP users,
    I am challenged and need some guidance. The projects that I create a little mini-movies/demos made up of mostly imported screen shots and some still photos -- never any video. My challenge is that I have a very clean screen shot to work with -- if I bring them up in Preview, Photoshop, etc. they look great. The second I import them into FCP they are blurry, degraded and next to unreadable. I seems like I've tried everything, but nothing seems to make a difference.
    I am not the one taking the screen shots -- they are provided from a different source each time. Each person most likely uses a different product to grab those screen shots, but my guess is that they are probably using snag-it or a similar product. I usually ask them to provide the "best" quality they can. That can mean a ton of different sized screen shots come my way. The ones I'm working with now range in size -- 1,116x760, 1,284x1000, 1,026x813, 1,023x830 to name a few.
    I have been on the boards and did try one recommendation that I saw to reduce the size of the image to the same frame size that you are working with (in my case 720x480). Of course, when I do this there is degradation before I even bring it into FCP.
    So, I'm wondering, should I be asking people to create their screen shots at 720x480? I've been playing around in Parallels with Snag-it to see what options are available -- I don't see that they can choose to produce the screen shots at a certain size -- they can reduce them after they take it, but there's that degradation again. Maybe there is some recommended product that I can suggest? Everyone I work with to supply the screen shots would be a pc user.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? I do these often, and my screen quality always looks poor. I'd like to come up with a solution and I'm sure a big part of that is instructing those who supply the screen shots to take them a certain way...perhaps with a certain product...only I don't know what that is.
    Best practices anyone?
    My settings are:
    Frame Size: 720x480
    Aspect Ratio: NTSC DV (3:2)
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: NTSC - CCIR 601 / DV (720x480)
    Compressor: DV/DVCPRO - NTSC
    Thanks for your insights.
    Tawny

    Pan & Scan: in this context, I was referring to the idea of panning across a screen shot instead of reducing it to the size of the video frame. In other words, the original is (e.g.) 2x the width or height and then, as you explain / narrate, it moves across the screen. This preserves the "local" resolution of the original, but doesn't give the viewer a single view of the whole screen. It can be used in conjunction with the "whole view" as a kind of CU shot.

  • Plea for Light UI to be used when posting Screen Shots

    I would like to put in a request:
    I find it almost impossible to read the settings which were used when people post either Screen Shots or Demo Movies which were made with the dark UI
    It would be great if people could switch to a Light mode before making explanatory Screen Shots (Cmd/Ctrl + F2 cycles through the GUI modes instantly and painlessly!)
    And, if you are planning on publishing a book, do realise that once these dark screen shots have been rasterized, downsized and reproduced in Print, they become totally illegible!!!

    My feeling is that if you publish an instructional text book; or charge for on-line Tutorials; your paying customers should expect to be able to see your illustrations and read the contents of the panels on their screen so that they can follow the tutorials.
    The dark backgrounds make this well-nigh impossible so an investment in the purchase of the books and tutorials becomes pointless!
    Never mind whether the dark screen is Adobe's "Default", and it may look fine on the originating computer, but by the time that a Tutorial has been videoed, edited, posted and downloaded to the Customer, the text is illegible and the cursor is invisible.
    In a printed book, the dark screen shots with reversed-out rasterized text become totally illegible once they have been down-sized, separated, screened and printed on an offset Press — so the book is worthless.
    I am suggesting that the authors of these teaching materials need to be made aware of these issues and, out of courtesy to their Readers and Customers, should prepare therir material with these factors in mind.

  • Screen shot (Adobe Pro 9.0.0)

    1st issue: after using camera symbol to create screen shot, I cannot paste it into the same or other PDF document (e.g. for comparison due overlapping). In the previous Acrobat version Pro 8.1.2 it was possible to do this.
    2nd issue: if I export this screen shot to e.g. MS Word or MS Power point, the resolution is very low. It is also not better if I enlarge the part of PDF document. HOw coult I improve resolution from the screen shot?

    I can't believe it!
    Another install patch and another failure.
    Again, I issue the following invitation to the Acrobat team.
    I am more than willing to sit with you in an Adobe ConnectNow session and let you take over my machine to see what is going on.
    If you can't reproduce the problem internally, you should at least try to see what is going on with any one of us.
    I will even bring my machine to the NYC Adobe office for a day to let Gary Cosimini or someone else in NYC look at it.
    Please!

  • Screen shots from DVDs

    How can I take a screen shot from commercial DVDs? "Grab" doesn't work. I think something can be done in "terminal", but I don't know what. Can anyone tell me?
    Thanks,

    Do you mean you're trying to get a screen shot from a movie playing from a DVD? If so, download the VLC Media Player. It will allow screen grabs during playback.

  • Screen shot in dvd player

    Hi. I'm trying to use a screen shot (command/shift/3) to capture stills when I've got a dvd on freeze frame in DVD Player, but the jpg (I've got it set to save as a jpg on the desktop, and this works perfectly otherwise) just comes out as a grey and white checkerboard. Is it actually possible to do this somehow?
    Thanks for any advice proffered.

    Could someone please lay out the various work around options for this issue?
    ajduguid took care of that already. VLC is free, and when you use it to play back your DVD, you can successfully take a screen shot of the movie whether you use the Mac OS X shortcuts, or the Snapshot command inside VLC itself.

  • If anyone edits with only one monitor, could you please post a screen shot of your 'window layout'

    I'm working on the one monitor now, and all the layout I tried, is anoying me, just a little bit!

    change the window layout to suit your own needs, each editor works differently,.
    I did fifty projects last year, I would need to show you fifty screen shots as editors move things around for each project.

  • Screen Shot of Window content

    Is there any way to take a screen shot of a window and all its content, not just was visible on the screen. Thanks

    HI: Command, Shift, and 4 held at the same time will create a screenshot of the area you wish. Just drag the cursor to highlight the part of the screen you wish to use.
    Hope this helps

  • IPhoto won't export cropped iPad and iPhone screen shots

    I started a thread for this thinking it was affecting my whole iPhoto library, when I export a cropped image I get the original. I thought I'd solved it by rebuilding my library, then realized the issue was only manifesting with iPad screen shots. I tested it on iPhone screen shots too, same issue. Photos taken with any camera, even the iPad camera are fine, I can crop and export those. Any iOS screen shot refuses to export a cropped version. I tried all the different choices for "kind" in "export."
    Is this a new feature? You have to be sure to crop a screen shot on the iPad or iPhone before you sync to iPhoto?
    Barbara
    Mac mini 2011, Mavericks 10.9.2, iPhoto 9.5.1, iPad Air iOS 7.0.6, iPhone 5S iOS 7.0.6

    What format is the external drive the Library sits on?
    Rather than trying to move libraries try repair the existing one:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.  
    Regards

  • I have a pc and downloaded a trial version of Adobe Acrobat DC to create pdfs. I have followed the simple instructions but what I get is an entire screen shot saved instead of just my document. The instructions seem so simple. I can't imagine what I am do

    I have a pc and downloaded a trial version of Adobe Acrobat DC to create pdfs. I have followed the simple instructions but what I get is an entire screen shot saved instead of just my document. The instructions seem so simple. I can't imagine what I am doing wrong. Have project I need to submit today. Please help.

    Unfortunately, what you describe isn't a common problem. It is pretty surprising, but hopefully it's a simple as clicking or pressing the wrong thing. So, to find this out we need to know, step by step, at the most basic level, what you click or type EXACTLY and what you see. That should let us get to the cause.

  • How do you export a Premiere Pro screen shot without distortion when importing into Photoshop?

    How can I take a screen shot in Premiere Pro (CS6 or CC) without it becoming distorted? Lately, when doing this, the images are elongated. Then, when I bring the image into Photoshop, it looks fine, except that the Pixel Aspect Ratio has been automatically engaged. I seem to not be able to do anything to the image to correct it and when saved, it goes back to its distorted form. What am I doing incorrectly? What is the fix for this? Is this a Premiere issue or a Photoshop issue? BTW, I posed the same question on the Photoshop forum. SIDE NOTE: I tried to resolve this via a chat session...that was an exercise in futility.
    Thanks!

    The MTS files that I imported into my project are 1080i 29.97 fps, upper field first, 1.0 pixel aspect ratio.
    I tried encoding an AVI with the Lagarith codec with these settings and had better results this time but the frame rate still stuttered.
    I even tried making an MOV with the H.264 setting and had strange results.
    I can make an H.264 MP4 at 1920x1080 with no problem.
    What are the exact settings for an MOV or AVI just in case I missed something?  I really want to have an uncompressed file to archive that can be easily edited later on.  I'm thinking that MOV would be the most flexible format.

  • How may I make my screen shots default to a .jpg instead of .png

    How may I make my screen shots default to a .jpg instead of .png?
    Is there a preference somewhere?

    One easy way is:
    Changing the File Format
    In order to change the file format you must firstly open up a Terminal window (Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app), and type the following.
    defaults write com.apple.screencapture type TYPE
    For the command to work, you need to replace “TYPE” with a valid file format, the available options are:
    png (default)
    pdf
    jpg
    jp[2 (jpeg 2000)
    gif
    tiff
    bmp
    pict
    tga
    Once you have selected your format simply issues the command, placing the file format in it’s space. For example for a JPG, I would issue:
    defaults write com.apple.screencapture type jpg
