In i movie, zoom in on still photo & then freeze it.  is that possible?

in imovie, i want to zoom in on a photo & then freeze it at the end of the zoom for a couple of seconds.  is this possible with imovie?

Yes, this is possible.
I would suggest that you use the Ken Burns effect to zoom.
Next, select the photo you just applied the Ken Burns effect to, and Command-C to copy it, then Command-V to paste it. You should now have two identical photos side by side. Select the second one, and change the starting green rectangle to match the size of the ending red rectangle. Now select CROP rather than Ken Burns. That should do it.
You can also string several of these together to zoom in, stop, zoom back out for example. Or zoom in, freeze, and then pan left or right.

  • Can you block a number from ringing, however still get voice mail.  Is that possible???

    There are some folks that call so much and it seems at just the wrong time.  I'd like to able to block them so my phone doesn't ring and yet, still get the voice mails that I can check at a later date when it's convenient.   Is there a way to do that???

    Thank you. I thought there was a feature on the phone that allowed for that to happen.
    My next question is, however. If I'm texting another party, and the delivered sign is not shown. Is it a possibility that my phone may have been blocked from receiving any texts?
    Or, is it possible that the text message did not go through, yet?
    Thanks again for answering my inquiry.
    Dawn.

  • Mini Display to VGA adapter stopped. The Mini Display to HDMI is still working fine. How´s that possible?

    The mini display to VGA adapter had stopped, whinle the Mini Display to HDMI keeps working fine. The minid display to VGA adapter was replaced and the VGA cable as well, and the problem is the same. This test was made with two diferent monitors with VGA entries. How´s that possible to happen? Is that a configuration trouble in the MBP?

    The Apple´s customer support gave us the solution for this problem:
    SMC reset
    PRAM reset
    The VGA adapter return to work properly aflter this procedure.

  • Still Photos from DVD?

    I apologize if I'm not posting this in the right forum, I wasn't sure where to ask -
    I have a DVD (home video put onto to DVD, nothing copyright), I know how to make a copy of it on the Mac and how to burn copies of other DVD's, etc., but I am wondering if it's possible to pull still photo's from the DVD/movie?
    When I copied the DVD onto my Mac, I get a file with several sub-folders in it - VIDEO_TS, AUDIO_TS, etc., I haven't been able to import anything into iMovie - it quits part-way through.
    Is there anyway to put the movie/video into an application that will then let me pull out or copy still photos from it?
    Hopefully that made sense, not sure if I'm correctly explaining what I'd like to do...
    Thanks!

    You can capture stills from a digital movie through use of
    a third-party shareware such as Snapz Pro X; perhaps a
    few others, too. Some may offer a demo limited use feature
    to see what it could do.
    • Snapz Pro X - Ambrosia Software:
    http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/snapzprox/
    I'm not certain what GraphicConverter from LemkeSoft can do.
    This also is a third-party shareware; it can work in demo mode.
    • GraphicConverter:
    http://www.lemkesoft.com/
    Been some time since I last used products from either source;
    so you may find something (or not) of use to you there.
    For just an occasional grab or screenshot of a frame from a
    digital video, you could try pausing the movie and using the
    standard keyboard keys to create a snapshot of that image
    and save it to the desktop. That would be sort of clumsy but
    it may do for a few images out of your own digital video files.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Applying widescreen matte to still photos in motion

    I shot some footage for a documentary using my Canon XL2, 16:9 format. I'm adding some still photos using motion. Is it possible to apply the Widescreen matte effect so the photos match the widescreen look of my footage? I can't figure out how.

    Use the Photoshop preset for DV/D1 widescreen as a template and paste your photos into that.
    You will need to use Photoshop's Transform controls to frame your photos and have to decide what part of the top and/or bottom gets cropped off.
    If you want to zoom or pan, use the original photos in Motion and make sure the photo fills the screen at its smallest size. Again, you will have to sacrifice the top or bottom of the photo to some extent.
    If you absolutely must see all of the photo's content, consider using a complimentary background fill, perhaps with some blurring. Place your photo on top and shrink it down to within the safe area.

  • Want to know if Premiere Elements has the capability to show movement on a still photo? Such as zoom

    I am thinking of purchasing PE 12 if it has the capability to take a still photo and move the camera around on it like many videos I have seen.  I am currently using PE 9.  Thanks for any help on this subject.

    Railfan Ken
    What are you doing in Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1?
    Are you keyframing the Motion properties of Scale (for Zoom) and Position (for Pan) to get a pan and zoom effect?
    or
    Are you using the Edit Header/Effects/Presets and one of the presets for a pan OR zoom effect (the Presets allow for only a pan per picture or a zoom per picture but not a pan and zoom per picture).
    or
    Have you been using the Elements Organizer 9 Slideshow Editor to create a slideshow with the pan and zoom feature there and then transfer the Elements Organizer 9 slideshow to Premiere Elements?
    If it is the Premiere Elements 10, 11, or 12 Pan and Zoom Tool that is making you think to laterversion than 9.0/9.0.1, perhaps the following Adobe document may give you more information on that.

  • Still photo "zoom" through motion

    Hi,
    I'm trying to create a "memories slideshow" consisting of still photos that zoom in slowly. I'm encountering a couple problems that I'm hoping to get help with:
    1) When zooming in by setting keyframes in each clip's motion tab, I find that it's difficult to get each photo to zoom in at the same speed and direction. Is there a shortcut to doing this easily? I guess the effect I'm aiming for is similar to what iPhoto does automatically with an album slideshow, just more controlled. (Is there any way to just do this from iPhoto and adjust the settings for each clip's duration and zoom?)
    2) When I zoom in I find that the images become very blurry, although they are less so when viewed in the program I used to scan them (Lexmark Imaging Studio on a PC). I scanned the images at 300 DPI and saved them to JPEG. I realize these settings may not be optimal - what DPI and file format are recommended if I want to zoom in to, say, 5x?
    Thanks.

    Speed of a move is dependent upon the length of of the move. A move set up to do the "same" thing will be faster if there is a shorter duration between the keyframes. if all of you photos are the same size and aspect ratio, set one up to your liking then save that as a Motion Favorite, then you can apply that to them all. And there is no way to take info from iPhoto and adjust in FCP.

    300dpi is high for video. Video is 72dpi. But a higher dpi scan means you can zoom further in without the image breaking up. If they are blurry... have you rendered the move? They should look better when rendered.
    Doing still moves is a difficult task. If you search the forum you will find many topics on the issue that will provide valuable tips.

  • I figured out how to snap a still photo of a movie clip, but where then does it go, and how can I import it into my iPhoto library?

    I was working in iMovie and discovered how to take a still photo of a movie clip.  Now I can't find that still photo!  Where did it go, and how can I import it to my iPhoto library?

    Just found out and it is simple.  When you find a frame in your video/movie of which you want a still photo or screen shot, just go to the frame and click on command, shift and the #3 in quick succession.  You will hear a "click" like a camera taking a photo.  The screen shot will then go to your desktop where you can drag it to iPhoto or an e-mail, or anywhere you like.  Also you can rename the screen shot by double clicking on the wording under the screen shot on your desk top. Whew!

  • Why are still photos blurry when I play movie?

    I am making a video slideshow using Adobe Premiere Elements 9. Most of the video is made up still photos. When I playback the video the still photos are blurry. What should I do to prevent this? Thanks!

    I read your article Bill, and that just seems like a massive amount of work for the average individual who wants to put together a movie. Is all of that really necessary?
    With PS, or PSE, and Scaling Actions, one can do batch processing of entire folders of images in moments. That linked article gives setup tips for doing batch scaling very easily, and the Action, plus Automate to Batch, will work on entire folders. My workstation will automatically process ~ 500 4000x3000 pixel images to 720x480 in about 2 mins.
    There are two benefits when Scaling stills in an image processing program, prior to Import into an NLE (Non Linear Editor) program:
    The processing overhead is greatly reduced
    The quality is greatly improved, as the Scaling algorithms in an image processing program, are much better *
    If one wants to let the NLE program do the processing, and one has many large images (especially at still camera resolutions), then they WILL need a very powerful computer.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    * PrPro, as of CS5, has improved the quality of Scaling, but the overhead issue still exists.

  • Still photo from movie

    I have been trying to figure out how to get a still photo from a movie clip. Is there anyway to take a still from the imovie video? I thought I could just drag and drop it on desktop but that isn't allowed. Any advice if this can be done. I do not want to use the still in part of the movie, I just want a still from the movie to use as a picture I can print out. Thanks for help.

    This is easily done. Do a search of this discussion and you will find numerous posts on how to do it.
