Photos as single frames

This is probably a really stupid newb question, but I can't figure out how to import photos (jpegs in this case) as successive single frames into iMovie 08. I'm trying to create a time-lapsed movie from about 300 still images. Can someone give me some help on this?
Unfortunately, iMovie '08 automatically imports photos and adds them to the project as a "still frame" sequence assuming you will either add a KBE or display the photo for a fixed duration of time. Here is a "Quickie" Tutorial to get around this problem.

Export vertical oriented movie single frame - not working

Using:
- iMac 20" 2 GHz 4 GB RAM
- OSX10.5.8
- iPhoto 8 version 7.1.5 (378)
- QuickTime Player Pro Version 7.6.9 (1680.8)
- Preview 4.2 (469.5)
Here is what I do to export a frame from a move in iPhoto to get a single frame:
Open and play a video in iPhoto using Quicktime Pro, stoping and selecting a particular frame, pressing Command C, open Preview, select New From Clipboard.
or
Open and play a video in iPhoto using Quicktime Pro, stoping and selecting a particular frame, Selecting File Export Move to Picture.
Both the above work for horizontal oriented movies.
However, for vertically oriented movies neigther works.
Movies are taken with:
- iPhone 3GS
- Exaxti CG6
- Insignia NS-DSC7B09
- Fujifilm Finepix XP20.
Any solutions/suggestions (except upgrading to the newest iPhoto, Lion, etc. too slow on a 2 GHz iMac)
Thanks.

I mentioned in the second part of my initial post that I did also try the export "Movie to Picture" with the same results.
Strange! That work flow still works on my PPC platform. (Unfortunately, I don't have an Intel platform available with OS 10.5.8 installed for testing.)
Am I able to have "MPEG Streamclip" open as the default when a movie is double clicked on in iPhoto instead of Quicktime opening the movie?
Not sure. I don't use iPhoto (prefer Aperture) normally and definitely would not use either for video clip management. Try resetting the double-click external edit switch or reset the "Open With" atribute for the class of movies being edited.
This actually for a novice user who I suggested take short video clips, pick a frame then copy/paste it into Preview instead of taking stills. Unfortunatly my advice fails when the iPhone photos are taken vertically.
The problem may be based on a change on the application being use. Like anamorphic videos with contain both pixel dimensions and PAR values, the reoriented videos may contain both true orientation and display orientation information. How the files work may depend on the application being used at the time. I.e., some third-party video/still display apps rely on the original orientation while others use the "rotated" info embedded in the file. And, unfortunately, it appears that Preview does not know what to do, so it does nothing. My guess is this is a bug that needs to be reported in feedback to Apple again and again until until they decide to address and correct the Preview application.

Premiere Pro CC inserting single frame into exported files

I have never had this issue before today.
A project I have been compiling off and on for several months was exported using AME via PPCC.
In previous exports this issue did not come up at all.
Here is the problem:
The rendered videos (using Apple ProRes 422 HQ, QT H.264, and MPEG2 DVD) have a single frame insert between two stills in a montage.
The previous render it appeared on a different photo a few seconds later in the program, like this:
Again, these are single frame artifacts not found in the timeline in PPCC. They only appear as "flash frames" in the exported video.
Anybody else seeing this? Is there a solution?
Thanks

Videos become single frame when exporting iPhoto album

I've gotten the hang of how to organize pix and vids in an "album" and get them renamed. Now I just want to give those renamed reordered photos on discs to other people that will be on Mac and PCs. This apparently means using the "export" feature, as burning an album directly from iPhoto won't produce a disc usable by a PC.
"Exporting" the album succeeded in making a new folder elsewhere on my computer containing all of the images and it preserved their names. However, I noticed all of the Quicktime and AVI files had very small file sizes. When I double click on a .mov file, for example, it opens in Quicktime but it is now only a single frame. Same is true for the avi files.
Any suggestions on another export setting tweak I need to do to get this right?

You shouldn't have to change it to original though. And if it isn't exporting the actual movie, it should show up as a pic, not have the video icon. I lost important footage from hurricane Ike because I was in a hurry, and trusted the app. Then I go to look at the videos in iMovie, and they aren't even recognized. Current should be whatever it is. Currently that was a video, not an image. Sad.

Isolate single frame and export as a still?

Any pointer to a workflow to take a single frame from video clip in PPRO and export it into a format for printing a still photo?

Don't feel too bad. Exporting a Still was not always so easy, and in early versions of CS4, was a real pita. Luckily, Adobe listened to the Feature Requests, and instituted the general method used in its "little brother" program, PrElements, which had that (or very similar) icon for many versions.
Good luck, and glad that Ann pointed you to the right spot.

I have an Iphone 4. I have a video I took with the built in camera. Is there a way I can edit it to isolate a part of the video that I can print a single frame?

I am looking fo someone who can tell me how to edit a video taken with my Iphone 4 so i can copy/print a single frame from that video rather than the entire video. Thanks in advance

What you can do is play back the video in the Photos app, then pause it. Tap the screen to make the controls go away. Then you can take a screenshot: Quickly press then release the home and power buttons at the same time.

Single frame disappears when compressing with de-interlacing turned on

I'm having trouble with a single frame - showing a lightning flash - disappearing after compression. I've found I need to turn on de-interlacing in the Inspector to avoid bad problems with the interlacing showing on edges when panning sidewards, but since I've turned de-interlacing on, this one frame disappears.
I've tried making it a freeze-frame, held for several seconds. I've tried slowly zooming in on the same frame for several seconds. I've tried putting in compression markers all over it. In all cases, the lightning flash is there in Final Cut Pro, but disappears on compression.
Any suggestions?

I dont have the answer, but rather a similair problem. If you don't mind I will add it to your blog here so hopefully someone can answer both our problems with one solution.
I have been compressing the same FCP sequence several times making only small changes to my sequence each time(adding and deleting certain photos per clients request). Now all of a sudden, one on the photos simply does not show up after being compressed. It renders just fine in FCP and exports to Compressor just fine, but after I compress it, when I play it, the two seconds of the sequence that is supposed to show a certain picture, it is just black.

Print single frame from iMovie

How do I capture and print a single frame from an iMovie clip?

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. You will see it highlighted in Blue in the Finder.
Drag this clip from the Finder 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 drag this photo into iPhoto.

Converting a single frame swf to a gif

I have a couple of really cool animated 'shockwave flash
movie windows projector' images that i would love to convert into
animated gif's so that I can edit them to work in a theme I'm
designing for my sony ericsson w580i. I was finally able to convert
the exe files into swf's... but that didn't really do me any
good... same issue. Also upon further scrutiny I discovered that
both animated file types have only 1 frame! What should I do?!
Please help!!

I've experienced the same thing sometime long in the past,
and I probably did a frame by frame Print Screen to get around it.
If it's single frame swf, then that's probably all you're going to
get is one frame as an output.
You may be able to incorporate a jpeg encoder of some sort to
take snapshots as the piece animates in some form of loop fashion,
but I'm not savvy in that dept.

How to use single frame in a page

Hello, i would like to now how to make a frame in a page
without having two or more, i was used to work with GoLive and
there i could use the grid an put a single frame and make links to
other pages that would open in that frame, it worked wel for me,
but since I switched from golive to dreamweaver CS3 i am not able
to do so. Is there some one how could tel me how to do so, since i
use a lot of single frames in my pages,
greetings

why are you wanting to use single frames?
They allow having the initial frame address stay in the
address bar, and not
show the linked page's address. The problems they cause
usually override any
value.
Or- if we aren't using the same words the same way, please
give an example
site of what you want to do.

HT200044 how to export a single frame in 10.0.6 - I cannot find option?

With 10.0.5 There was an option on "share" to pick a single frame from the timeline and export the image as a JPEG or other formats. I do not find this option on the new version.

It works now, you need to go back to share and a new option is available that was created by the step you mentioned, listed as share frame one -- when selected, this allows for exporting the frame to the desktop!
Thanks.

What's the simplest way to export a single frame from an animated gif as gif?

i have an animated gif and wish to save a single frame as a non-animated gif.
in the past i've been achieving this by deleting all the frames i don't wish to export and deleting them before exerting, this seems very clumsy though so i figure there's a more sensible solution in there somewhere, but where?

Thanks, Bill! Actually version 9 looks a little clearer than that, as it has two bold clear white paddles to mark the edge of the work area.
I was a little frustrated at first, because whatever I did, it still took a year and exported the entire video.
Then:
I caught sight of this teeny tiny box waiting for a tick from me, which said:
Share Work area Bar Only
We have lift-off
Thanks again. So much quicker than all that deleting ahnd hoping you don't accidentally say "yes" when prompted to save changes!

Mouse over HTML link causes single frame to display at top of page Netscape only

Having a wierd problem. When you run the mouse over HTML
links on the page a single frame of the flash movie apears at the
top center of the page. It only happens in netscape in firefox
mode. IE, Opera, and Firefox do not have the problem.

Thanks in Advance,

The problem goes away if i modify my .css file by removing
the
border: 1px solid #999999;
line from the "a:hover" style.
I ran my css file thru the validator at w3c and its fine. The
Page also validates as xhtml transitional.
and just a note the same file version is on my public server
and my testing server.
Has anyone ever seen this before?? I have several sites with
a:hover effects and flass media and have never run across this
before.

How do I position to panels in a single frame?

Hi,
Can someone tell me how i can position two panels in a single frame using the BorderLayout class.
I have included my code below. When it is run it shows two JPanels positioned at the top and the bottom, a text area to the right, a panel in the center and a panel on the left. I want to get the panel on the left - the yellow panel - to be positioned in the lower third of the center panel. I have tried to use the BorderLayout.SOUTH statement - but this positions the panel across the very bottom which causes the bottom JPanel and part of the text area to disappear.
Can anyone help with this please???
Many thanks

One solution would be to create a new panel, bothPanels and adding the two panels that you need to this panel.
Once you have done that, you can add bothPanels to contentArea.add( bothPanels, BorderLayout.CENTER)
