IMovie 1.3 - "freeze frame?"

According to the new features for iMovie for the iOS, you can "Swipe up on the playhead to freeze a frame in your video." Has anyone been able to figure out how to actually do this?

Same issue here!
My original phone was the most stable phone I ever owned under 1.1.2. Then I upgraded to 1.1.3 and all **** broke loose.
My phone would randomly and VERY frequently freeze with the spinning wheel/gear in the middle of the screen.
The only thing that would unfreeze it would be to hold both buttons until the phone powered off. And yes while frozen the phone would get VERY hot. Whatever froze the phone apparently was still sucking the battery life causing the battery to get hot. Much like when you're talking on your iPhone for hours the battery will warm up due to usage.
After resetting/restarting the iPhone the battery would be neary depletion.
I would then wait about 10 mins and wouldn't you know it...locked up again.
It was getting extremely frustrating. Contacted Apple, they swapped me for another phone (running 1.1.2).
I waited a few days, then upgraded that to 1.1.3. Wouldn't you know it....it started locking up immediately after that update. Just like the other phone (after updating).
Now I'm on my 3rd phone running 1.1.2. I REFUSE to update this until 1.1.4 because I cannot continue to miss calls, have a hot battery in my pocket, and constantly keep checking my phone just to see if it's locked up.

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 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.

Can you freeze frame with the imovie app. and save the freeze frame to a picture

Can I freeze frame on the iMovie app and turn the freeze frame into a picture?

Experiencing the same issue. Fired up iMovie for the first time today and created 2 movies. The first was 35 seconds long and the 2nd was 1 min 45 seconds long. Got all my pics loaded up and added a song from my personal collection. Plays perfectly from the phone. The problem occured when I tried to export the larger movie. The first time I tried, it sat at the exporting movie status bar (without moving) and then closed the app. After relaunching the app, it told me that my audio file had been removed from the phone. After closing and re-opening the iMovie app again, my movie project played fine through the app but as soon as I tried to export again it rebooted my phone. I tried exporting on all 3 size options (Medium, Large, HD) and it did not matter. I tried multiple songs thinking perhaps that was my issue, but each one did the same thing. I tried the lock-screen time-out fix but that didn't help either. I have no problems exporting my smaller movie file (35 seconds)using any of the export sizes. This leads me to believe that the issue is soley related to the length of the project...or perhaps the number objects located in the project. In either case, it's definitely an app issue. I do love the app though...when it works.

Yes. You will need to download and install a free app called MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5.
In iMovie, locate the video clip that contains the still you want. Right-click on the video clip and select REVEAL IN FINDER. You should see this clip highlighted in the Finder. Drag this video clip into MPEG Streamclip.
In MPEG Streamclip, move the playhead to the video frame that you want to make a still from. Click FILE/CREATE FRAME...
You can choose JPEG, TIFF, or PNG and give it a name and location.

Freeze Frame not working

I'm using iMovie 10.0.3. When I try to do a freeze frame of a clip, it just creates a black clip.

Did you place the playhead on the frame of the clip you wanted as a freeze frame and option F on the keyboard or freeze frame in the modify menu? If that gives you a black frame it could be a media problem or an iMovie problem. What's the parameters of the clip? You can open the clip in Quicktime and look in the Inspector window to see the properties.

Make transition last full duration of freeze frame?

Hi, so in an iMovie that I'm editing, the opening shot is a freeze frame of an image for 2.9 seconds. What I'd like to do is have this image fade in with a cross dissolve for the full 2.9 seconds. However, when I add the transition, I can't make it last for the full time. The highest it will go is 1.4 seconds, and it adjusts the length of my freeze frame to 1.5 seconds (thus equaling 2.9 seconds in total). Is this possible to do, and if so how can I accomplish it?
Thanks,
KiSS

Hi CoDEFRo,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. I'm not sure if these will answer your direct question, but if you are talking about the overlap when working with the transition, you may find the following articles helpful:

Problem with iMovie when inserting still frames

Hi,
I'm a new MAC user with 20+ years of PC experience, so I fully expect that I'm making a newbie mistake here, but...
I'm trying to make an iMovie of a karate sequence, in slow motion, with some still frames so that an instructor can do a voiceover and describe what's being demonstrated...
So, I pull in a clip which I loaded in from my DV camera, set it to 50% speed (I've read about the bugs regarding choosing arbitrary speeds), and I can watch it through, no problem at 1/2 speed.. THEN, I right-click on an arbitrary frame within there, and click on "add freezeframe".. It appears to do what I want, but USUALLY, the video after the freezeframe will be messed up - It'll jump to an another part of the video, or maybe start replaying from the beginning.. When I remove the stills, it goes back to normal..
Anyone else seen this?

In general a freeze frame will add the frame at the end of the current clip. It sounds like in your case it is counting the frames to the end of the current clip, not realizing that the slow motion is throwing out half the frames so it ends in a random place.
Freeze frames work best when you choose the very last frame of the clip. That way, you freeze on the last bit of motion you saw.
It sounds like you are trying to create enough time for your voiceover by adding a freeze frame. If freezing the very last frame of the slow-mo does not work, you might try bringing in the clip twice: The first time, set it to slow mo. Then the second time, run it at full speed and freeze frame the very last frame of the clip to give you time to complete your voiceover.
If you are choosing a frame from the middle of the clip because you want to isolate the motion in that frame and discuss it in the voiceover, I would Edit/Split Clip at that frame and select the last frame as a freeze frame.
Just some thoughts... I have done this with some tennis strokes, but never exactly what you are trying. Good luck.

How do I create a freeze frame from footage and extend that for 5 seconds?

I have a quicktime screen grab movie I've imported, and I want to hold on a certain frame that's at the very beginning of the clip, and then proceed with the movie when the voiceover (separate soundtrack) gets to a certain point.
iMovie 11.
Thanks
doug

Hi Doug,
Position the playhead/skimmer (vertical red line) at the very beginning of the clip. The playhead should snap to the first frame, provided you have this turned on in the menu item View > Snap to Ends.
Without moving the playhead, right-click (or Control-click) and select Add Freeze Frame from the pop-up menu. The default duration is 4 seconds (although this setting can be changed for individual projects in File > Project Properties). To adjust the duration in the timeline, double-click on the freeze frame to open the Inspector. In the Clip tab you can change the duration by typing in a new time.

Possible to make a freeze frame in iMovie09?

In Final Cut Pro there is an option to freeze any frame in your movie turning it to a still shot, which you can adjust the time it displays in the timeline.
Does iMovie 09 have any sort of freeze frame feature? I've looked and looked but can't figure out a way to do it if it can.

Hello,
Creating a freeze frame is easy. Place the playhead on the image you want to freeze. Right-click and choose "Add Still Frame to Project" from the menu that pops up. If you have a one-button mouse, hold down the Control key and click to get the same menu.
This will create a freeze frame and I believ the defaut is 4 seconds. You can easily change the length to whatever you like.
Good luck.
Yours, Marc

Freeze Frame as Cutaway

Is there a way to add a freeze frame as a cutaway? I thought I'd done this once before, but maybe that was with iMovie 6.
Thanks,
Doug

I find it difficult to believe iMovie cannot use one of their own FF ( freeze frames ) as a cutaway. I hope someone can tell us how to do this... ..
this is really an interesting riddle:
when you hold the alt-key BEFORE grabbing the freeze-clip, you are allowed to add that freeze as a cutaway.... BUT: when inserted it is plain black!
having a look in the inside of the project, the 'bin' where all stills-as-video are collected, the Still-Images.mov, contains that freeze! it is encoded as any other freeze or still to photo-jpeg.. no diff. to ther files.. but on playback - black!
Update: it's getting even more weird.. when you 'rearrange' that 'Still Images'.mov (I have 3 stills in my project, I changed 1,2,3 to 3,1,2), the stills swap places.. but the one with the 'black' stays black.. looks like, that position in the timeline is doomed!..
.. very interesting! something I have to play with next time..
