How can I extract a still picture from footage in iMovie, add text to it and print it ?

How can I extract a still picture from footage in imovie, add text to it and print it ?

Assuming you have iMovie 11 (also known as Version 9.0.4), here is how you do it. (If you have a different version, let me know. The instructions will be different).
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 use this photo in Photoshop, Pixelmator, Acorn, or the app of your choice to add text.
Here is a demo I made the other day for how to extract the still image using MPEG Streamclip.

How can I take a still image from a video?

How can I take a still image from a video?

I'll assume you want to create a still to use outside FCPX, not a still frame within FCPX. It's kinda hidden in the "share." Go File/Share/Add Destination. You want "Save Current Frame." After you've created that destination, it'll be there for you in the future under Share.

Can I capture a still image from a quicktime movie?

Can I capture a still image from a quicktime movie?

Yes. But how you do it depends on your version of quicktime.
If you have the pro version, you can easily use the "Export" option to output the video as a series of images.
For the basic version of quicktime, or if you want to quickly take make a still image of a single frame, you could just use the "Grab" application in OSX to take a screen shot.

Why can't I see still images in the playback monitor when editing a video?

Why can't I see still images in the playback monitor when editing a video? I have rendered the images in the project. I checked my system to make sure it meets all the requirements for the software, no problem there. When I "share" the project and save it as an MPEG, the images show up in WMP just fine. But I need to be able to see what I'm doing to the stills while I am editing. Help!

Many thanks for the reply with the details.
But, the key is missing...what version of Premiere Elements are you using? Are you using Premiere Elements 10?
I hope not in this case, but if you are, we will tell you what needs to be done. The following is a copy/paste of the Announcement
at the top of this forum about the Premiere Elements 10/NVIDIA GeForce issue.
Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
If you are a Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card and you are experiencing
Premiere Elements 10 display and/or unexplained program behavior, then your first line of troubleshooting needs to be rolling
back the video card driver version instead of assuring that it is up to date.
Since October 2013 to the present, there have been a growing number of reports about display and unexplained workflow
glitches specific to the Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer has a NVIDIA GeForce video card. If this applies
to you, then the “user to user” remedy is to roll back the NVIDIA GeForce video card driver as far as is necessary to get rid of
the problems. The typical driver roll back has gone back as far as March – July 2013 in order to get a working Premiere
Elements 10. Neither NVIDIA nor Adobe has taken any corrective action in this regard to date, and none is expected moving forward.
Since October 2013, the following thread has tried to keep up with the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA reports
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1317675
Older NVIDIA GeForce drivers can be found
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us
A February 2014 overview of the situation as well as how to use the older NVIDIA GeForce drivers for the driver roll back

Can you merge two still images into one in premiere elements?

I am working on a slide show for a memorial service and would like to have one still image showing and then have the next one come in without replacing the former- somehow merge the two. Is that possible?

Depending on what you mean by "merge," you can use PiP (Picture in Picture) to have the second image come in and occupy part of the screen with the original image. There are many ways to display PiP, from say a small image located in the screen to having it occupy one half of the screen.
Does that sound like what you are hoping to do?
Besides the rather simple PiP, one can also use Track Matte Keying to bring up the second image and to soften edges, drop it into an image of, say a TV set, or a window.
The possibilities are endless, or nearly so.
Let us know if PiP works for you, or if you need a more intricate merging of the images.
Good luck,
Hunt

How can I edit a still image so that I can float it over the video?

I would like to edit a still image so that I can float it over the video - How would I save the image in Photoshop so that just the image and not the background can be imported into Final Cut and the footage behind it still shows up?
Thanks

You need to either create an Alpha channel or cut out the area of interest and paste it into a transparent Photoshop document. You can save the former as PSD, TIFF or PNG. Save the latter as TIFF with transparency enabled (shows up in TIFF Options at step 2 of the save dialog).

IMovie shows video but plays still image!

Just been editing a 20 min project and at one point it has a short video clip followed, after a transition, by another short clip then after a transition by still images.
All looks OK in the project window, but when I skim or play the sequence the second video clip content is ignored and replaced by the content of the still image for the full length of the video clip.
I've deleted these three elements and started again, even reimporting video from the camera, but no change. If I delete just the still image, the problem continues with IMovie playing the next still image instead of the video.
Anyone seen and fixed this?
David

This happened to me a while ago... Going into the precision editor, and adjusting the clip end-points to leave room for the transition fixed this for me.

How can I Spin a still image in QT?

I need to take a still image and spin it by its center, like a wheel. Is there a way to do this in QuickTime or some other application?

BOO!!

Overlay a still image over video.

I am editing a lot of video and have a need to lay an image over the video, like down the left column or even across the bottom.
What I am doing is editing footage of a poker game we filmed and I want to be able to display the players' hole cards like they do on TV.
Does anyone have a solution for this? I've looked and looked with no success.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

In iMovie 08, when you overlay a photo over video, it takes the whole screen. iMovie 9, which comes out later this month, should have the ability to do what you are describing.
Also, if you have QuickTime Pro, you can do this as well. QuickTime Pro is not as intuitive as iMovie so get a good book to help. One such book available from frequent forum participant [QuickTime Kirk|http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/book/index.html]

How can I add the logo image for a single item in an RSS feed?

Hello,
I am an administrator of iTunes U at the University of Minnesota.
Before transitioning new public site, we are trying to figure out how to put a logo image into RSS feeds.
We use our server to makes xml codes to create RSS feeds for podcasts.
We successfully put a logo image for a collection in a RSS feed, but putting a logo image for a single item did not work.
Below is the part of the xml code for the logo image for a single item, which is created by our server. I deleted other parts of xml code for your convenience.

Can anyone help?

Haven't created too many podcasts, but in this one
http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/connecticut-college-sculpture/id372414245
or
itpc://video.conncoll.edu/d/sculptures/index.xml
before we included the audio files, we added the images in iTunes.
Select the file, then go to File>Get Info, here you can add metadata, and in Artwork add an image.
Then upload this file to your server. Works for audio files anyways.
You don't see the image in the web podcast, but you do in iTunes after you download each item, in "Show item artwork" in lower left. Click on the image and it zooms out.

Can I add or edit images in a Reader Extended PDF?

Can a Acrobat Reader add or update an image in a Reader Extended editable pdf?

Hi tms5656,
Adding or editing an image isn't something that you can do in Adobe Reader, whether the PDF is Reader Extended, or not. But, you can do that in Acrobat. And, you're welcome to try Acrobat for free for 30 days, if you would like. See www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.
Best,
