Inserting photo in iMovie, becomes still frame of video before it.

When I insert a photo into my iMovie it creates a still frame of the video before. Doesn't matter where in the clips I put it and I've tried dragging a photo in from Finder and using the iPhoto in the iMovie application. And, if I put a photo after a photo, the second photo becomes a still frame of the first photo. Help!

just to make thing clear (sorry for sounding impudent!)
you do .... :
create a New Project
make a selection of an Event and add it to the Project
select a title and drag it onto the clip?
iM does work with your OS ...

  • Can I make a photo out of a still frame in iMovie?

  • Help how do you save a still frame of video  as a photo?

    Help how do you save a still frame of video as a photo? Thanks

    A still frame from an Event:
    Put cursor at the frame you want, then right click (or command click) and select "Add Still Frame to Project".
    The still frame will be added at the end of the Project.
    A still frame from a Project:
    Put cursor at the frame you want then right-click (or control-click) and select "Add Freeze Frame". The Freeze frame will be added after the clip.
    In both cases:
    Select the still frame (so the yellow band is around it).
    Right-click (or control-click) and select "Reveal in Finder".
    You will see a JPG file highlighted in the finder.
    Drag this file and drop it on your iPhoto icon in the Dock.

  • When I capture a still frame froma video in Llightroom 4.3, where does the captured frame end up?

    When I capture a still frame froma video in Llightroom 4.3, where does the captured frame end up? I cannot find it. Stan

    It will be right next to the movie in your library and the jpg file will end up on your hard disk right next to the movie file. You can see the actual file by right (or control) clicking on the image in the library view and selecting "show in Finder/Explorer"

  • Trouble inserting photos into iMovie

    I am trying to import some photos into iMovie that I copied from a website. When I try to insert them from a file on my desktop, where I saved them, I only get a portion of the photo. I went back to the folder and opened each picture outside of iMovie and they are complete pictures of high resolution. When I insert them, they turn out to be a part of the photo in low resolution. Ideas?

    You might also try dragging the folder into iphoto and see if they will import there. Then access them from within imovie. If iphoto won't see them then you will need to convert them like was already suggested.

  • Problem inserting photos in Imovie project

    i have what seems an unusual problem inserting photos into one of my projects. some photos insert fine however others that are dragged into the project dont appear when the video is played. the bar does however appear above the video clip showing that the photo has been inserted and the duration can be toggled.
    i then tried inserting the same photo into another short project and it worked fine?!
    has anyone come across this? would really appreciate your help as trying to put together a video clip for a wedding which is taking place in a few days!!
    many thanks

    I have also tried deleting the com.apple.imovie.plist ... I don't have one to delete ??  And, I tried repairing disk permissions with disk utility ... no change. I have also tried changing the title of the project.  These same pictures can be added into any other project ... I'm going CRAZY!

  • I need to pull still frame from video.

    How do you pull a still frame from imovie?  I saw a recent discussion about downloading mpeg streamclip.  But, that won't open. 

    Easiest way is to just take a picture of the frame you want. First, full screen the video. Then, pause it where you want the still. Take a screenshot by pressing command, shoft and 3 at the same time. It should save the phto directly to your desktop. Make sure you take the picture when it is on fullscreen. Otherwise, the photo will be bad quality.

  • Ok to grab still frames from video, or use digital camera?

    Noob here. Just bought a Sony DCR-HC96 DV camcorder that I'm still playing around with.
    Wondering how good the photo image quality is if I use the "Save Frame" commend to create jpeg images from imported video. Or, am I better off relying on my digital camera for still images (requiring me to carry/use two gadgets)

    There's just one other thought:
    A frame grab from an HD (hi-def) camcorder can look really good ..as in the 16:9 "widescreen" rhino, giraffe and zebra shots halfway down this page..
    Click on those 16:9 photos to see larger versions.. (..the pics called "No pasaran!", "High, again!", "Camouflage", etc..)
    Although the quality is not as good - as Kirk says - as a proper digital camera (..the other pics on that page were taken with an assortment of "proper" digital cameras..) there may be an occasional slight advantage to using an HD camcorder and then taking stills from the video: a camcorder generally has a longer zoom range than most digital stills cameras, so letting you get nice and close to the action.
    So stills from a standard-def camcorder: no ..as Kirk says; awful.
    Stills from an HD camcorder: can be fairly good..

  • Still frame from video: PS Elements 9

    I am new to PS, trying to get a still frame from a video. My camera uses a file  MP4, but PS says it does not accept that format.  How do I convert my MP4 videos so I can get some still pix from it?  I did the file>import>> frame for video>browze. It works with a sample video on my computer but not the video from my camera.  PLEASE HELP!  Thank you

  • Inserting still frames into video

    Hi! I have PS CS4 Extended and I am pretty new to working with video.  I need to put a single still image into several frames of continuous video after removing the existing frames. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    In CS3 the timeline works like it does in premiere pro using keyframes. Actually more like after effects as each object is on its own layer/timeline. As you add a new layer it is added to the top of the timeline. But you can move the layers in the layer panel to move the location it is on in the timeline.
    For when the object is visible use the opacity line on the timeline for that object. At the far left is three icons (normally grayed out until to use them.) The fourth icon is a stopwatch, which you click on to activate the keyframes for that properties. The first icon is an arrow pointing left to move you through the keyframes one at a time to the left, the third icon will move you to the right and in between is a dot, when you click on it, it will create a keyframe at that point in time. Just drag the time indicator to the frame you wish to create a keyframe. You will need at least two keyframes for each object and possibly a third depending on how you want your object to become visible and disappear. With a keyframe selected, you can change the opacity in the layers panel.

  • Inserting Photos in IMovie

      I have created an IMovie project and how do I insert additional photos in a desired sequence? I have a certain sequence of events planned, in a certain chronological order and I want to edit a certain part of the project. How do I do this?  Thanks.

    Hi
    May be I misunderstand's this but
    Open Media and here Photos (the Camera icon)
    Select the photo needed.
    Drag and drop it ONTOP of the Video-Clip in Your movie (where You want it to be) and then from the now un-folding menu select - CUTAWAY -
    And the photo will be inserted in Your movie without any change in Audio or over-all duration.

  • Cannot insert photos into iMovie project

    Suddenly I am unable to drag/drop photos from the iPhoto window in iMovie into my current project.
    I click on the Photo button and thumbnails of my photos appear. I click on a photo (it is highlighted in blue) and drag it to the desired location within my project. When I drop it between clips (the green "Add" button appears) it just doesn't appear in the project.
    I have tried several times to drag/drop the photos (from within iMovie and from an opened Finder window), restarted iMovie and restarted my computer but I still cannot add photos to my project.
    Any suggestions? Is it the software or my computer?

    Chic, Welcome to the discussion area!
    I'm not sure why you posted in this area since your question has nothing to do with wireless networking nor the AirPort Express (AX).
    I suggest that you go to the appropriate iMovie discussion area and post your question there.

  • On Export, getting audio but only one still frame of video

    I am trying to export a .mov file to a QT file to reduce overall size, and each time I do the export, I get all of the audio fine, but the video is just a still picture of the first frame. Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong? I've tried tinkering with the export settings, but nothing seems to work.

    You, like the OP whose thread this is, fail to say
    what the source video info is or if it even plays
    before trying to reprocess it to H264.
    oh! Sorry for not informing about the source video. The source video was a QuickTime video compressed with H.264 and audio with AAC.
    Interesting settings- why is the output so tiny?
    160X120 is pretty small.
    I was encoding this to put it as an inset video.
    BTW, I could encode it with Movie to MPEG-4 settings.

  • Still Frame vs Video Loop Menu Button Issues

    Hello,
    I have a home video of a wedding I am trying to burn to a DVD using iDVD. I have 7 chapter markers in the movie and I would like to use still clips from the video as the icons in the chapter menu buttons. However, once I select "still image", I can no longer scroll through the entire movie to select the image I want. Instead, it only gives me the first 1 minute 37 seconds of the clip. Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong?
    Thanks,
    Joe

    Nevermind, I have figured it out.
