Photo using Export Frame is squished

... Versus the original size or dimensions that is displayed.  I'm using a 1080p .mts file from a Canon M31.  The end result of exporting the frame from the montior is squished -- probably 5X4 or 10X8, how do I change the snapshot size?

Below is a step by step guide with pictures so keep scrolling.  You'll have to figure out how to apply these steps with other software.
The easiet solution is offered by Ann Bens.  Here is a screen shot of how I used the AME.  Make sure you UNCHECK export sequence and format to jpg or tiff.
Its quicker to use the export frame button on the monitor but if your going to use the end product as a still then you have to spend the same or more time fixing it; the AME is the best solution.  Here is how to fix a jpg using photoshop.
STEP 1 - you'll see this window upon opening the file exported from PPro in PS.
STEP 2 - You'll see a widescreen picture but ...
once you uncheck "pixel aspect ratio correction" you see it looks squished
STEP 3 you'll want to resize it in the following sequence
Change the pixels from 72 to 300
B. Change the width to either 10 or 5
C. UNCHECK "constrain proportions" and change the dimension to 1920 Wide and 1080 Height
Now save the file and its ready to use in most other software and for use with online services like Costco's photo books and printers.
CHEERS!

  • How can I include the Frame Number  when using "Export Frame"?

    Im using the button at the bottom right of the Playback Control Panel called "Export Frame".  This does exactly what I need but I have a lot of frames that need single frame exporting. How can I get the file name to automaticly include the frame number at the end of the file name? 
    For example, instead of it displaying "Sequence 01.Still001"  by default.  I would like for it to display "Sequence 01_0001"   Letting me know that is frame 0001.
    This is possible, correct?

    Well what about in the export option using CTRL + M?  I saw a coworker using this method in an older version of Premiere, but we can't enable it on CS5.5.  Being able to export a single frame as a bmp that has the frame number at the end of the file name.
    Example:
    Output Name: Sequence 01_0001.bmp
    Under Video Basic Setting is:
    Export As Sequence UNCHECKED
    Field Type: Progressive
    Frame number still doesn't show at end of file name.  What are we missing?

  • Trouble Exporting Photos Using "Export" Menu In iPhoto 08

    My Export menu fails to do anything when selected.
    I believe I've successfully removed any 3rd party export-related plug-ins, but I did that by memory of what plug-ins I had installed. Apple doesn't have an exclusive directory/folder for iPhoto plug-ins...they're all mixed among a folder called "Receipts" in the Library Folder.
    Anyone able to solve this problem if you've experienced it?

    Jeff
    The plug ins are not in the Receipts folder, but stored within the app itself, You can remove or disable them by selecting the app in the Applications Folder and go File -> Get Info. There's a plug-in pane in the resulting window.

    how do i get my photos back on usb after editing. i used export but after checking my photos were not back on usb?

    You're really going to need to explain that. What's "USB"? Do you mean a Disk, Drive or volume connected by USB? How is your iphoto set up? What version are you using?

    Using export slide show from iphoto, I am trying to create a DVD of photos and vid clips in large format. The vid clips do not work using burn software. Any idea?

    Have used large format, but using the 'burn' software, I am not getting seamless video quality on DVD even though I am burning at 2* speed. Any ideas? Do I need better software? Or is there a problem with the SuperDrive?

  • Exporting photos using Picasa

    I use Picasa to export and share my iPhoto files. Prior to updating to iPhoto 6 (version 6.0.6), iPhoto and Picasa worked together flawlessly. Since updating to iPhoto 6, I have not been able to export and share my photos using Picasa. Each time I select a roll to export and attempt to sign-in to Picasa through the "export" feature in iPhoto, iPhoto immediately shuts down unexpectedly.
    How is this problem cured/resolved?

    daveabner
    Can you explain a bit more what you mean when you say
    I use Picasa to export and share my iPhoto files.
    How do you do this? DO you mean that you're uploading to the net using the Picasa plug-in? Have you checked with google to see if the plug-in is updated?

    yeah, in itunes if you select your phone, you should get tabs across the top for what to sync, under photos uncheck the box
    EDIT: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236 is the link to a apple support document with information on syncing photos using itunes.

  • HT3905 Do I still need to install the HD writer AE 4.0 software that came with my Panasonic HC-V500 video camera or can I just upload video directly to my MAC using i-frame and the i-photo program?

    I purchased the Panasonic HC-V500 video camera and it came with the HD AE 4.0 software. Do I still need to install this disc on my MAC or can I upload video directly to my computer by using i-frame and the i-movie program?

    Hi glhiker,
    Your video clips will import directly into iMovie.  It's a great video editing program.  I'll include some quick video tutorials to get you started below:
    Apple - Support - Videos
    When you open the iMovie application, click HELP > iMOVIE HELP on the menu bar to access the manual for the program.  One of the first topics is Importing Video.
    Down the road, you may be interested in our professional video editing application, called Final Cut Pro X.
    A quick overview of the application can be found here:

    Have fun!

  • Photos used in Themes appear jerky

    Photos used in any of the iMovie HD 6 Themes (where the photos move across the screen) move about half way, then jerk back a step and then continue moving until the Theme is completed. In movies I've completed in the past the photos in Themes all moved smoothly and looked great. How do I fix this? I have 63GB of open space on my disc.

    Hi
    *Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows:*
    • Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
    • Hard disk is untidy: Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
    • Garageband-fix. Start it and Close it. Re-try
    • Delete iMovie pref file - or rather start a new user/account - log into this and re-try
    • Third party plug-ins that doesn't work OK (not relevant for iMovie’08)
    • Program miss-match: iMovie 5.0.2, up to Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK
    • Program miss-match: iMovie 6.0.3 or 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • Program miss-match: iMovie’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • Screen must be set to Million-colors
    iMovie pref file resides:
    Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences and is named: com.apple.iMovie.plist
    While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
    Now restart iMovie.
    From LKN 1935: (in this case = iMovie HD (5), I tried it all, but nothing worked.
    Your answer (above) has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that
    there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled
    iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos)
    to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before.

  • Publish settings Export frame set to 2 kills flvPlayback

    To let my tiny preloader show up before its at 75% I changed
    the export frame for classes to 2 in the publish settings. This
    works for the preloader but now the flvPlayback doesnt work.
    (except it does still work if I hit control enter a second time and
    watch my preloder work.Bizzare!) The .flw file still wont playback
    the .flv's when run on its own. Changing the export frame back to
    "1" and all is fine except the preloader is a no show till it's at
    75% or so.
    Dosent seem to be any way to change properties for the
    playback component itself.
    help please. The last thread I saw on this subject had no
    resolution and was from 2005.
    ff

    wow, you waited a whole of 10 minutes to complain you're not
    getting help?
    You might want to rethink that strategy, or you'll likely not
    get any help
    at all.
    Things export in the frame their in, unless you specify
    otherwise.
    A more proper way to make a preloader is to use a separate
    movie, and load
    the content into an empty movie clip. Then you can use
    MovieClipLoader, and
    accurately monitor and display the dl.

  • The Export Frame for Classes specified in the Publish or Export settings

    click file/publish settings/flash/actionscript settings and make sure frame 1 is set as the export frame.
    if that's already set, don't use test scene.

  • Is "export frame" the highest quality?

    Hi.  Sometimes I want to have a video clip freeze.  That is to say, the final product will have two or more frames that are identical, taken from a single frame of a movie clip.
    The way I've been doing this is using the Source or Program monitor to find the relevant frame, export it, and re-import it as a still.  Yet, it occurs to me that when watching videos in the Source or Program monitors, I am not watching the video at its highest quality.  When I finally render my product, I will render it at highest quality.  Does this cause a mis-match between the exported frame and my final product?
    When I "export frame", does Premiere take the time to render that frame at best possible quality?  Or am I just getting a preview-quality frame?
    Richard

    The exported/frame grabbed frame will be full quality. The lowered quality is for preview purposes only from within Premiere itself.  As long as you don't select .jpeg and stick with a lossless image format when you do a frame grab from within Premiere it will be full quality.

  • Why would I want to change JPEG quality of photos when exporting them from iPhoto?

    Why would I want to change JPEG quality of photos when exporting them from iPhoto?  Changing the quality of the print changes the size of the saved file and thus impacts the speed at which it is moved on the internet.  But other than size of the file, what is the advantage of changing the quality?

    I have no idea why you would want to do anything
    Some people want lower quality to reduce file size for different reasons
    It is an option - if you do pot want to do that do not use that option

  • Distorted Aspect Ratio of Exported Frames

    My project's aspect ratio is 16:9 (720 horizontal, 576 vertical).
    I inserted a clip into the timeline.
    I exported a certain frame to a file as an image.
    The image file's size: 720 x 576.
    I proceeded to import the image file into the project, and inserted it into the timeline.
    The image's aspect ratio is not the same as the original footage.
    Specifically, the horizontal side is narrower than originally (see attached screenshots).
    What causes this discrepancy?
    More importantly, what can i do to get exported frames to match the aspect ratio of the project?

    OK, I've got the BMP. When I looked at your images, I thought that we were seeing your still image on the Timeline. We are not. That shape/size is what was produced.
    Now, remember that I am on PrE 4, so things will be different in PrE 8. Still, I should be able to get you close. In PrE 4, one uses File>Export>Frame to do a Frame capture under the CTI (Current Time Indicator), and visible in the Program Monitor. When you choose this, you will get the standard Windows dialog screen, where you name and locate your still image. There is also a settings button, that will open up a second dialog box, for you to adjust many attributes of your Frame capture. There, you will have three choices in the left-hand Pane: General, Video and Keyframe and Rendering. First, go to General, and you'll get File Type w/ a dropdown. There, you can choose the format type and should have JPEG, TIFF, BMP, TARGA and GIF (maybe more in PrE 8, like PNG?). I'd stick with TIFF or BMP. About the only other choice is whether you want to add this captured still in your Project, or not. That is your choice.
    Go to the Video listing in that left-hand Pane. There you can choose the Frame Size, the PAR and the Color Depth. Make sure that these match your Project's and your source footage's exact specs. Unless you need the Alpha Channel, and are using either TIFF or TARGA, leave Color Depth to Millions of colors. Otherwise, choose Millions +, where the + is that Alpha Channel.
    I'd guess that it's in those settings, as to what is happening with your Frame capture. Let me know if you get this sorted, and sorry for my mis-step, but I was not clear on what I was seeing, and where I was seeing it.
    Good luck,

  • How do you get iPhoto to stop autocropping/zooming photos within a frame?

    I have hundreds of odd shaped images and I don't want to have to manually "fit to frame" hundreds and hundreds of images?
    Can I turn off the autocropping or zooming function so Apple uses my  actual picture dimensions?  Or at least is there a way to batch "fit to frame"?  Thanks for any help!  Scrapbook we must deal with issue all the time.
    Cheers,
    Lorili

    If you're referring to iPhoto books and photos in the frames on the page there is a Fit Photo to Frame Size option.  Command (right)-click on the photo on the book page and select Fit Photo to Frame Size from the Contextual menu:
    An extreme example of it is shown here:
