Making a photo out of a video file
How do I make a photo (.jpg) out of a video clip from Final Cut Pro (ver. 5.1.4)?
KNow that the image will only have as much resolution as your video format. If that's conventional DV, about 500 by 800 pixels. You can make the pixels bigger and blockier in your photo editor but, without a good upscaling tool, you cannot make more pixels where there were none.

Can you make a photo out of a video clip
can you make a photo out of a video clip
This method works for iMovie 11, iMovie 09, and iMovie 08. If you have a different version, let us know.
Here are the details of the method that works for me.

Using Premier Pro CC 2014.
Exporting (in H.264 format in HD 720p 23.976 preset) and audio comes out separate while video file is a .m4v instead of .mp4.
Anybody know why audio and video are exporting separately? I can't figure out why. Help is much appreciated.Thank you for the quick response. Unfortunately, that doesn't fix it.
I have the same issue when I try to export it through Adobe Media Encoder. I even tried to go through using After Effects and export through Adobe Media Encoder with the same results. I'm wondering if I might be better off uninstalling then reinstalling all my adobe programs. -
Need help converting photo jpg to a video file.
So I have a 6 minute animation that was sent to me as a series of photo-jpgs. I need to convert them to a video file rather than a huge sequence of stills so I can add some transitions. The images are 1920 by 1080. I don't want to compress them at all until the final render. What sequence settings should I use and how should I export? I know there a billion and two different ways to do this but for some reason I keep screwing it up.
JonAs long as the images are sequentially numbered, 001, 002 etc,
1. open up QT Pro and import as a still image sequence and save is as an animation codec.
2. create a sequence using the animation codec as the basis, import all the images and drop them into the timeline.
Recognize that the animation codec requires a huge bit of horsepower and disk throughput to edit in real time.

How do u out your own video files on the ipad?
How do u put your own video files on the ipad and once u have done it where do u look to find it to play
You load them into iTunes and then sync them to your iPad. You'll then find them in the Video app. For detailed information, consult the iPad User Guide; the sections on Synching and Videos will be most applicable. Then if you have specific questions, post back and we can help further.

Video Files Import into an IMAC
Can someone lend me their advice ...
I am using a PC and creating a POWERPOINT show ... I have different tools to take this show to convert it into a video file (like MP4 etc).
What Ia m trying to do - is to merge a video file and pictures - the pictures to follow the movie - and throughout this "show" - one MP3 file will be played.
So the questions is - importing a video file into IPHOTO - is this possible - and if so - what is the best file type to convert the PowerPoint into???
Once I am able to create this show - then the plan is to put it into IMOVIE - and cut a DVD ...
Any suggestions - input - ideas - would be greatly appreciated!Great Guys! Thanks for the advice!
I like using PowerPoint for it's ability to have total control on objects like text and graphics on 1 slide - in a show. Timed to music - it can produce some dramatic affects. I ALSO like the easy ability to take a MP# file -and if I have let's say - 33 pictures - it automatically splits the song equally - to each picture of the show, enabling an easy finish.
What I would LIKE to do - is to use PowerPoint transitioning affects on about the first 7 slides (pictures) - then - take that out as a video file - PULL IT into IPHOTO - then - add the remaining pictures to complete the show - ALL timed to one MP3 file.
Basically - I have other programs that can convert (export) the Powerpoint show (file) to any video output - I just need to know which one would work with IPHOTO. Adding these into IMOVIE - enables me then to cut a DVD, which then can be duped ...
Make sense???
I SO appreciate your expertise and suggestions as to the file types to use - or anything else you would recommend! THANK YOU!
Again - its the file types that I am seeking advice - that will work with IPHOTO! -
Shotwell crash/freeze when video files present in preview from camera
Presence of any .avi video file in Shotwell causes the following error:
Error in `shotwell': malloc(): memory corruption (fast): 0x00000000087c9080
I've searched around and found many problems with Shotwell and videos, and other errors like mine, but never together. Already imported videos (through folder import procedure) play and display in Shotwell properly, so the program understands them, it's just with reading them from a card reader using the "Mass Storage Camera" folder option.
Any suggestions on how to address this problem other than the workarounds? This is for my mother's computer, so I'm not always around to help get the videos removed from the card first.
Can I just get Shotwell to flat out ignore all video files? That would be ideal, actually.

This also applies for 10.5 Leopard.
If you open Automator (Applications) and choose Library >> Files and folders >> Find Finder items and draw it to the right side of the window. Now you can search the whole computer or just your user folder for example (from the drop down menu). Then you can make further adjustments like find .avi (look at the image)
http://personal.inet.fi/koti/kimi/automator_alias.png
Then you draw the new aliases to the window and choose what folder it saves the aliases too, in my case my Movies-folder (Elokuvat is Movies in finnish). After that you press Run and it saves the aliases. Easy!
The original files are still located inside the iPhoto Library and the Movies-folder just contains the aliases. -
Duplicated photos after update, missing videos
Help! Since iphoto 11 updated itself last, all the photos that were originally in my library (imported into the previous version i.e. not iphoto 11) have duplicated themselves, but if I ask it to reveal in finder, only one file is shown. Any ideas why? It's rather tedious now to look through the photos.
All the video files that I imported in the previous version are there and play, but it hasn't imported the ones I tried to import since I changed to iphoto11. Can it not do this any more? Does this mean that I lose the ability to see if I have a video which is related to an event?That's how a library should be upgraded to a new version. Upgrade the application and open the library with the new app. No importing necessary.
Sounds like your library is damaged. Do you have a backup copy of the library before it was upgraded? If so copy it to your Pictures folder, renamed so it won't conflict with your current library, and open it with iPhoto 9.1.1.
If you don't have a backup, make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select options #1, #2 and #6.
Click to view full size
Fix #3
Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory. -
HELP! recorded video file seems corrupted, need guidance
Last weekend i recorded a lengthy video file from my friend's birthday party. As it turns out, near the end of the party the recording errored out and the video file that it had been creating for hours became unreadable. We have tried many different avi file fixers on it but none have had any luck. I cannot play this file in any of my video applications, nor can i open it in an application such as Sony Vegas.
Is there any hope for recovering the footage in this avi file? It was recorded using the creative software provided with the Creative Live! Optia camera (this is the camera we used to record the footage).
Thanks for any help!Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Might be best to post that one on the iMovie forum here

How do I make a still image (photo) fit the length of the music? I record music and want to convert the tracks to a video file with a still image of my business logo in the background. On windows movie maker you could just select "fit to music" but this program isnt as easy to figure out! Any help?
Double-click on the still image in the project timeline to open the Inspector. In the Inspector, adjust the duration by typing in a new duration to match the length of your music. I think the limit for a still image is 10 minutes. If you need more than this, simply drag the image into the timeline again then adjust its duration. The two images will play seamlessly (no gap will be visible).
See this iMovie Help topic:
http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3a883915
You can achieve more precision when entering durations by changing a preference in the menu item iMovie Preferences. Check (tick) the preference for Show Time As HH:MM:SS:frames. This will enable you to enter the duration of stills down to the frame level, rather than full seconds (NTSC is 30 frames per second; PAL is 25 fps). When entering times, type a colon between each time segment, such as 2:50:15, which represents 2 minutes 50 seconds and 15 frames. For 5 seconds 20 frames you would enter 5:20 and so forth.
Note that the music will only run to the length of the video in the timeline (in your case, the still images). So, after increasing the stills duration you will need to drag the end of the music track as far as required. The stills can be dragged inwards to reduce the duration if necessary.

Need advice on making a simple Flash video file. Trying to accomplish two things.
I have some video files (.avi) that I am trying to convert to a Flash video format. I am trying to export it to a Flash player to go into a Powerpoint file. With this, I am trying to accomplish two goals:
1. To have the short clip (15sec, 30fps) endlessly loop, like an animated .gif.
2. To allow the user to click on the video player and drag left/right to ff/rew.
The video itself is a turntable animation. One of our products is making a complete 360degree turn. By allowing the user to grab and drag, it will simulate them rotating the model.
So far, I have already accomplished Goal 1. I made a new Actionscript 3 file, imported video (embed flv in swf and play in timeline), and then made the video loop on the timeline. This seems to export properly, and the video loops as needed. The only thing I can't figure out is how to make the video "interactive" and let the user drag left/right.
For context, I have never used Flash before. Any help would be greatly appreciated.This will come down to essentially moving the playhead of Flash based on the movement of the mouse. It's certainly not going to be smooth however, you'd need a timer to be responsible for moving your playhead and reversing spatial compression is very CPU intensive (moving backwards on the timeline). I'd recommend having a forward and backward version of the video so you could flip between them but if you're new to flash you're already in way above your head.
Add a new layer and try adding this example script (or Download Source example here, saved to CS5):
import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
// make sure we don't trip this frame twice
if (!stage.hasEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN))
// stop playhead
stop();
// set state (forwards? backwards?)
var movingForward:Boolean = true;
var curFrame:int = 1;
var mouseStartX:int; // used later to determine drag
// detect mouse click and drag left or right
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onMouseF);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onMouseF);
// create new timer to control playhead, start it
var phTimer:Timer = new Timer(33,0);
phTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, movePlayheadF);
phTimer.start();
// function to control playhead
function movePlayheadF(e:TimerEvent):void
curFrame += movingForward ? 1 : -1;
// validate frame (60 total frames)
if (curFrame > this.totalFrames) curFrame = 2;
else if (curFrame < 1) curFrame = this.totalFrames;
// goto the next frame
this.gotoAndStop(curFrame);
// function that controls the direction variable
function onMouseF(e:MouseEvent):void
if (e.type == MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN)
// user started touching, record start spot
mouseStartX = int(stage.mouseX);
else if (e.type == MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP)
// user let mouse go, determine direction change (swipe stype)
if (stage.mouseX > mouseStartX)
// swiped right, move forwards
movingForward = true;
trace('Moving forward now');
else if (stage.mouseX < mouseStartX)
// swiped left, move backwards
movingForward = false;
trace('Moving backwards now');
This is pretty simple. In the example source link above an object on the timeline (nice ugly red circle) moves right over 60 frames and then left over 60 frames (120 total). Consider that your movie.
A timer ticks at a speed of 33ms (30fps). This is where it isn't necessarily going to be too smooth with video. If you increase it to 60FPS then decrease the timer by half (16.5ms), season to taste. Each time the timer goes off the playhead is moved, either forwards or backwards.
To know if it should go forward or backwards a simple variable (movingForward) keeps track of the last 'swipe'. The swipe is simply captured when a user touches the screen (mouse/finger), moves in a direction and then lets up. If they moved to the left the direction will be reverse. If they moved to the right it will move forward. This doesn't take into consideration any more than that logic, but illustrates how you can watch the mouse for movement and "do something" based on it.
A very simple validatior in the timer event function checks to see if the next frame (in either direction) is valid and if it's not, it corrects it so it stays within your videos timeline length.
Note there is a MOUSE_MOVE event you can try to hook to which can be used to literally let the user drag the video forwards and backwards the amount they drag their finger/cursor. Also if this is some kind of circular surface like a record spinning, the direction the user moves the mouse based on where they touch the record would change which direction they expect it to move. Etc etc..
That should get your feet wet in how much you need to consider for your project. -
My .MP4 video file won't "play video full screen" in Muse after I publish my .OAM out of Edge Animate. When I "Preview In Browser" through Edge it plays (I have created a shape and used the "play video full screen" snippet) in full screen mode just fine. When I "Preview Site In Browser" through Muse and click on the shape to PLAY VIDEO FULL SCREEN, it does nothing. I am new to both programs and can't figure out why it will work out of the preview window in Edge and won't work when I publish to Muse. Does anybody have an answer or a work-around for me?

how do I import my video files from old iPhoto - in time machine - to new iPhoto? Photoes came across, video said incompatible.
i have moved from a mac pro to a mac mini,
Mini now has mavericks and latest iLife stuff, I clicked import, was all good, then at end, no videos came across.
Is Mavericks,/iPhoto having a compatibiltiy issue with some video formats....???
Your help is appreciated gang.: )Please describe exactly what you did. In moving to a new machine no importing is involved. The best way is to simply connect the two computers together and drag the iPhoto library from the old one to the pictures folder go the new one and launch iPhoto

I've updated the software on my Macbook to the most recent version; regretting it now; and iPhoto has now become the Photo's app.
The problem is I can no longer back up my photo and video files taken on my phone, saved to my mac, by copying them and saving them on a USB stick or other external hard drive.
I could easily do this with iPhoto, but now Photos app does not let me copy the files when I select them.
Does anyone know if there's a way to save, copy or back-up my photo's and video files: prefreably one that doesn't involve iCloud, as I don't feel like paying for more storage; there must be some way to access those photos/videos from my iPhone to save on another source?The problem is I can no longer back up my photo and video files taken on my phone, saved to my mac, by copying them and saving them on a USB stick or other external hard drive.
Select the photos and videos in Photos and use the command "File > Export" and select a folder on your USB stick to save the photos to. -
