Save still frame as picture

I used to be able to save still frames as .jpg files and put them in iphoto with the previous version of iMovie but can't seem to do that with the new version, or am I missing something?

See my post here.

  • Exporting still frames as pictures

    There used to be an export (or share?) menu item that allowed an imovie to be saved as an image sequence. ie: a series of still frames would be saved in jpeg or other picture formats. Can't find this in imovie 10.0.3?

    Hi ducatti71
    i have the same problem.
    Can you please explain your exact workflow for me, so that i can reproduce it? Thank you.

  • Is it possible to use a still frame as a picture from a video you have recorded on an iphone 4?

    Might need a little more information here. Are you trying to obtain screen captures? If all you're wanting to do is take stills from your videos then the answer is yes, you can but you'll have to transfer your videos from your iPhone to your computer first (unless you can find an APP on the iTunes store to help you to do it on your iPhone).
    There are a few ways to do it. The first is that you can use the button on your keyboard called "Prt Scr" or "Print Screen". This takes a shot of your screen which you can then "paste" into a program like paint, or photoshop or even Word to then save as a jpeg image. When using this option a good trick is to use "Alt" + "Prt Scr" to only capture the current window rather than your entire desktop.
    The other way to obtain screenshots is to download and install a program designed to do this for you. A great site to find something free to help you out is www.tucows.com. Try this link: http://www.tucows.com/search.html?search_scope=win&search_terms=screenshot&searc h_type=all
    Also, some DVD programs have this function in built in them so it's a good idea to explore what's already installed on your computer.
    Hope this helps!

  • Still frames in project - Possible to Save as individual photos?

    Hello ...
    I have taken a number of still frames from my video event and made a picture project ...
    However when I export it .. it ends up as a video file ...
    Is there a way of saving single pictures into iPhoto or whatever ... so that I can use these single pictures in another application ...
    Thanks ... for any info ...

    1) Select frame in Event window.
    2) Use "Add Still Frame to Project" option to move the selected Event frame to your Project window.
    3) Select the "Still Frame" in the Project window.
    4) Use the "Reveal in Finder" option to select the stored JPEG image.
    5) Image file can then be copied or you can double-click to open it in Preview which will allow you to save a copy to your preferred storage location and, if you wish, change its compression format at the same time.
    6) Now return to iMovie and if the "Still Frame" is not needed in your Project window, simply delete it.

  • Can I copy one frame of a movie using iMove and save the frame as a file that can be printed like a picture?

    Can I copy one frame of a movie using iMovie and save the frame as a file that can be printed like a picture?  If so, how do I do that?

    You could if you want a postcard sized print.
    Printers need a lot more "dots" per inch and even a 1920X1080 video doesn't have enough "dots" to make more than a postcard.
    Look at the "More Like This" links at the right side of this page for instructions.

  • How do I extract still from my videos. The options near the controls includes an option to export frame to pictures, but I click it and nothing happens.

    How do I get a still frame from a video in the new photos app?

    The secret is in the description "Export Frame to Pictures".
    After you click this, look in your top-level "Pictures" folder for the file, such as "Frame-14-04-2015-09-26-59.tiff".
    You can then "Import" this file back into Photos.

  • 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.

    In iMovie 6 you can create stills. Select the clip then Edit/Create Still Frame.

  • Save Current Frame produces blurry stills, but didn't before

    10.10.1 - final cut pro 10.1.2 - File > Share > "Save Current Frame" produces blurry stills now, jpg and psd. the source is not blurry (as i look at the frames in the Project window). i've done this for years on FCP and got acceptable results. any tips if i accidentally changed some preference. my source are imported old MiniDV tapes stored in default FCP library.
    thanks for any info!

    this NEVER would have been solved if TW didn't solve it LOL! THANK YOU! in 1999 i was a windoz user and i wanted to make some movies. windoz required me buying special "media disks", special software, extra powerful mother board... and a friend in the media business said, "get the new imac dv with imovie 1". for the next 5 years i made incredible movies using the sony mini dv tapes and mac. people thought i was a professional but the simplicity of the imac dv was the genius (and it's creators). i started using fcp a few years back always made frame stills, i've never had a problem and never heard of "interlacing"  until tom's post above. i don't think i just set this as a default? and i don't know why anyone would want interlacing if it makes your still frames/movies blurry LOL! i can read up on it later.
    here is a youtube showing how to turn it off. THANKS again Tom!!!!

    below is a successful frame capture after changing to the Project Properties to 720p (and not 720i = interlace which seem to be the new default?)

  • Drag and drop still frames

    I want to export a number of still frames from a movie for insertion into a report made using Pages
    At present I use imovie 6 HD and I can command F to save the frame to a folder of choice and later command drag and drop to insert the saved still frame within the confines of a table cell. I can also use quicktime 7 pro and command E to export as a picture
    I got to thinking why can't I just drag and drop the frame I am viewing straight from the open quicktime window into the table cell in Pages. I just want the still frame not the whole movie.
    Any work arounds?
    Thanks in anticipation

    Actually it is not such a bad idea as I email a pdf version to my customers anyway. Using PDF shrink I got a 66 meg pages file with 6 'stills' down to 106kb. It initially went down to 1meg just using export from Pages
    The trouble is that the large size of the pages document makes it a bit slow to respond if lots of 'stills' are taken from a large movie file.
    Shame there is not a keyboard combination to do what I wanted in the first place using drag n drop
    I shouldn't complain though. I understand that the current imovie still can't export still frames at all.
    Thanks again for your interest

  • How do i save a frame on safari??

    im looking to save a frame off an ebay auction for security purposes. anyone know how to do that?
    thanks a bunch

    deedho1's solution will save all of the text on the page, but the formatting may be off.
    The screenshot (Command-Shift-4) option will result in a picture, which might be what you need, but it has its limitations. It won't have searchable text, and it will only capture the visible portion of the frame or window, not anything that is offscreen or outside of the frame.
    I would do one of the following:
    1) Control-click inside the frame that you want to save and choose "Save frame as..." from the contextual menu that pops up. You can then choose the entire content of that frame as a Safari webarchive.
    OR
    2) Control-click inside the frame and choose "Open frame in new tab." Then switch to the new tab and use the print command (Command-P), click on the PDF button at the bottom left of the print dialog, and choose "Save as PDF..." I personally prefer that option since a PDF is more portable than a Safari webarchive. And I'm not certain if this is still true, but in the past Safari webarchives had to load images from the internet - they didn't actually download the image information and preserve it in the webarchive file.
    (Edit: Actually, you don't need to open the frame in a new window. Just clicking inside the frame and then choosing Print and then Save as PDF will save that frame's content as a PDF.)
    Both options will have relatively faithful page rendering. And both will result in searchable text instead of a plain graphic. Even if you don't care if it's searchable, real text is more useful in many ways. For example, it's more sharp when printed and it can be enlarged in Safari or Preview/Acrobat Reader.

  • Saving add a still frame as a pic...how?

    If you have a picture in your project (add a still frame, or an imported pic), is there any way to save that pic as a pic (and ultimately put in in iPhoto). I don't see how to do that.
    Example, if you want to make thumbnails from the add still frame for you movie, how do you save it as a pic?
    Thanks

  • How to export still frame from Quicktime movie?

    Hello folks
    I often need to use a still frame from a quicktime movie as an image file to work with in PhotoShop for windows.
    If I export a frame via the export command and choose "Movie to picture" I end up with a .pct file, that Photoshop will not open.
    I can open the .pct file with the Quicktime PictureViewer and then export it from that app as i.e. a JPEG-file, but I would like to avoid that extra step and just export a usable file straight from QT.
    Anybody know how that can be done?
    Best regards
    Kris

    Same problem here - no matter whether I choose Photo - JPEG or PNG format as the "compressor", QT 7 Pro wants to save with a .pct extension, and changing it to .jpg or .png extension fails to open.
    The two workarounds I've found are:
    1. Save it in Photo - JPEG or PNG format with a .pct extension, open with Photoshop CS4 or below, save to desired format.
    One may be able to accomplish the same using Preview instead of Photoshop, but on my Snow Leopard machine I get the error "The PICT file format is not supported in 64-bit mode. Try selecting "Open in 32 Bit Mode" in the Finder's info window for Preview." and I don't feel like bothering to do this.
    2. Use Grab to take a screenshot, copy into Preview, crop as necessary and save to desired format.
    Which is easier depends on whether you feel like having to do precision cropping or not. Totally agree with above commenters - whither PICT, Apple?

  • 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.
