Possible to pull higher resolution single frames from movie?

Hi.
I am currently using iMovie HD 6. I am wondering if it is possible to pull a higher than 72 dpi frame for still picture purposes? Command "F" doesn't seem to give options for higher resolution.
Would moving to Final Cut Express give more still picture options?
Any ideas welcome.
Thanks for any replies in advance.

Images in video are defined by their pixel dimensions, for example -NTSC DV is 720x480 non square pixels - which is the square pixel equivalent of 640x480. It really doesn't matter if this is output at 72dpi or 300dpi as it is still 720x480. You get what the camera recorded - no more.
If you need higher quality images (ie more pixels) take still images on the set. Even throw away point and shoot cameras will record an image with more pixels than any video format.
good luck.

Why I can't export a single frame from my composition?

I try to export a single frame from the cavas but motion just did nothing when I click on export. Is there something wrong with my motion setup? I have trashed the motion's plist couple times already but still having the same issue. I can't even save the project. When click on save, motion did nothing, just like export. HELP!

I see that you are on an intel mac. Are you running the universal versions (Final Cut Studio 5.1 w/ Motion 2.1)?
See this article for troubleshooting steps: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302596.
When I am having major issues like this, I just start over from scratch. Do a complete erase and install with the OS discs, reinstall all applications and update everything with software update. I keep a separate partition just for film and video work that I can blow away any time (I don't store any important files on it).

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.

Is it possible to add high resolution photos to an ipad2 without synchronising it?

Hi,
I'm looking in to offering potential clients an ipad with all their wedding photos pre loaded, but is it possible to add photos without synchronising each ipad to my mac? When I first got my ipad2, I couldn't use it for anything until I had connnected and registered it with Apple........I have got the camera connection kit, but haven't found a workaround for adding photos without synchronising yet?
I haven't been able to find much info on the subject so far? There must be a workaround?
Cheers,
MacSlates

The first thing that currently needs to be done with a new iPad is to activate it by connecting it to a computer that is running iTunes - it can't currently be used 'properly' until after that is done. After iOS 5 is released and is pre-installed on iPads then I think that should change and you will no longer need to first connect to a computer.
The camera connection kit can be used to add high-resolution photos to the iPad, unlike syncing via iTunes where the photos get 'optimised' by the transfer process. If adding the photos to the SD card yourself then you need to create a DCIM directory off the root of the card with the photos underneath it, and the photo filenames need to be exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension i.e. in a similar format as if a camera had created/written them
Otherwise there are third-party apps such as Simple Transfer which can copy photos to/from the iPad from your computer via your wifi network. But photos transferred this way will only go into the Saved Photos/Camera Roll album in the Photos app, not into a 'proper' album - and until iOS 5 is released and installed you won't be able to move the photos between albums on the iPad : from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
Even organize your photos in albums - right on your device
Also a problem with syncing photos to the iPad via iTunes is that they then need to be on the other person's computer when they then connect to it - otherwise the photos are likely to be removed from the device. Photos copied via the connection kit or copied via third-party apps shouldn't have that problem.

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!

How do I cut a single frame from a clip and use it as a photo in iPhoto

I would love to cut a frame from a clip in an iMovie project I have and then use that cut as a photo in I photo. Can I do it and how.
I'm under the gun and if you are insomniac and you want to answer right away, please go right ahead. thank you

You can install an App called MPEG Streamclip or you can simply pull up the clip in full screen and take a screen shot using (command+shift+3) or using (command+shift+4) to click and drag to create a box around what you would like to take a snap shot of.

Is it possible to get a higher resolution screen than the stock one, or one with better colour / contrast?
I've always been annoyed at how washed out the stock screen on my Toshiba looked. Recently the screen cracked, so I figure now is the best time to look at options.
Google has given me very little information so far. I've checked up pricing on screen replacement, with the part being around 60 and the part + service averaging 120, but that most likely leaves me with the same or inferior screen quality.
I would hope to find something more suited to movies / games and in 1600x900 if possible.
Any pointers as to where I should begin my search?

Hi
> Is it possible to get a higher resolution screen than the stock one, or one with better colour / contrast?
Yes this should be possible since the graphic card should support higher resolution.
The notebook supports the 15.6" (HD) TFT display.
You need definitely the same size display.

Single frames from handles sneaking into playback

I've got footage at Photo-Jpeg 24fps in a matching sequence.
During playback and in the renders, one frame from the handles in the tail of each clip gets shown. When stepping through, those frames are not there. Please tell me this is caused by a mundane setting hidden in some obscure menu, and that FCP is not really this sloppy.

Dunno what to say. Just has been an issue for as long as I have been cutting on NLEs...happens on Avid, Premiere (the one I worked on in 1997), Media 100 (the one I worked on in 2000) and FCP. I don't quite understand what causes it, because it happened with an animated series I assisted for...and that was all 24fps too.
Instead of spending days trying to figure out what is causing this and what settings you might adjust to try to fix this, why not just take a half day and trim all the trouble spots? Just get it done and out of the way. I know...I know...I feel your pain. I know...

Still frames from movies

I have CS4 master I need to take one frame from my movie to make menus and DVD covers can someone tell how to do this step by step. operating system is vista

Welcome to the forum.
Which version of CS4 do you have? The reason that I ask is that the Export Frame procedure was changed a bit in early CS4, and then back to similar to earlier versions, for CS4.2.
You can use AME to Export the still, and I would choose TIFF for this. IIRC, CS4.2 moved that function back to the File>Export menu, where it used to reside Check the PAR, if you have a DVD Project too, to make sure that you have your Standard 4:3 PAR, or the Widescreen 16:9 PAR. In PS, just Open the TIFF (check the PAR there in Image>Pixel Aspect Ratio), and when done, Save_As a PSD. Depending on what you are doing with the Menu construction, you can Import that PSD as a Menu in Encore.
Good luck,
Hunt

How can I extract a single frame from a DVD?

I have a DVD that contains a movie of some old slides. Is there a way I can extract one image from the DVD?

pause and screenshot the video
To capture a portion of the desktop, press Command-Shift-4. A cross-hair cursor will appear and you can click and drag to select the area you wish to capture. When you release the mouse button, the screen shot will be automatically saved as a PNG file on your desktop.
There are screenshot tools in Imovie and others such as Final Cut Pro as well for higher resolution
