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 ...

Is there a way of saving single pictures into iPhoto or whatever
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.

Still frames in project turn blurry after exporting to QuickTime

My sequence (standard definition) looks flawless when I play it back in FCP7 -- but after exporting it to QuickTime (export to QuickTime, self-contained movie, recompress all frames) a few of the still photos throughout the project are now quite blurry.
Any solutions?

ah I see, well the freeze frame is just taking one field of your material (half the resolution as its interlaced not progressive) and inventing the other half to make up the rest of the information so I'm not surprised its looking blurry on output, the reason you're not seeing it before on your screen is that you never see full res on the canvas until you output unless you use a third party output device like Matrox or Aja.
I don't know if there are any tricks to sharpen this up (other than sharpen). I guess you could try de-interlacing the rest of the footage first? but stills out of dv res material are never going to be crystal clear.
good luck with it

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.

Still Frames Disappear in Project Frame

Working with imovie 08, at work, I capture videos from hdv camera. I have to select short clips of work video and create projects from the clips. Then I use the "add still frame to project", and usually the still frames stay in the project frame while I'm doing this. I then use finder to locate them once I am finished. The stills are now disappearing from the project frame and are no where to be found. I had done this procedure many times (30+) with no problem, now I can't find them anywhere. help!

So what I am realizing is that all of my sequences have been created with incorrect settings, thus greatly downgrading the film quality. I wish I had picked up in this earlier rather than the last bit of my production. Because now the 25 minutes of sequences, and nested sequences are all basically incorrect. I figured that the poor display was related to Premieres program monitor, and that after rendering, it would display more clearly. But that is just impossible, when placing uncompressed progressive footage 1366X768, square pixels and 30fps into sequences that are 720X480, 29.97, and a non-square pixel aspect ratio...
So I'm wondering, is there any way to change the sequence settings or place all of the edited footage in new, matching sequences without essentially re-editing the whole film?
Any helpful words are appreciated.

Make Still Frame and Move to another program

I've looked through the FCE-HDv3 Help, but didn't see anything I could use to move still frames. I want to capture still frame of specific images, then save those still frames as .jpg or .tif so that I can use them as any other photo. Specifically, I'd like to move some FCE captured still frames to be used within photo Drop Zones in iDVD and within other programs to promote various projects. Is that possible? Thanks for any suggestions.

Jumped the gun on posting. Just found answer in another post. Thanks anyway. I've now successfully done it.

How to create and export a still frame from a movie in iMovie 09

Apple encourages you to first seek a solution at Apple Support. The following links are provided as is, with no guarantee of the effectiveness or reliability of the information. Apple does not guarantee that these links will be maintained or functional at any given time. Use the information below at your own discretion.
Are you working in iMovie and realize that certain frames in the movie would be perfect as photographs? Here is how to extract them...
*To get a still frame from an Event*, right-click on the frame and select "Add Still Frame to Project". The still will be added to the end of the current project. Right click on the still frame in the project and select "Reveal in Finder". You will see a jpeg file that is highlighted. Drag this jpeg file in the finder to the iPhoto icon on your dock.
*If you want a still from a project*, rather than an event, the process is similar, except you right-click on the frame and select "Add Freeze Frame", and it adds the freeze frame at the end of the clip rather than at the end of the project. Right-click/reveal in Finder, drag JPEG to iPhoto icon in dock.
*If you are not using iPhoto*, and just want to save to your desktop, click Reveal in Finder as above, then COPY, then PASTE to desktop.
Hint: If you do not want to clutter up your iMovie Project with stills at the end that you would have to go back and delete, then create a separate iMovie Project just for your stills, and follow the instructions for capturing stills from an Event.
Note: If you do not have a right mouse button, then control-click will work instead of right-click.

Using still frame other than in iMovie

I have a still frame I grabbed from a movie clip. How do I move it and or save it so that I can use it in other applications, i.e., to send as an attachment with email?

Are you using imovie 08? This advice only applies for iMovie 08
If so, position your cursor at the point in your video that you would like to capture. Then right-click and select add still frame to project. You should see this still frame in your project, probably at the end. (You may want to start a new project so you don't clutter up an existing project.
Now right-click on the still frame in the project. Select revel in finder. This will bring up a finder window with the jpeg file highlighted. That is the one you want.

Saving Still Frames To Desktop

How can I save a still frame in iMovie 09 to my desktop (like in older versions) so I can edit same in Photoshop?

To get a frame from an Event, right-click on the frame and select "Add Still Frame to Project". The still will be added to the end of the project. Right click on the still frame in the project and select "Reveal in Finder". Drag this jpeg file in the finder to the iPhoto icon on your dock.
If you want a still from a project, rather than an event, the process is similar, except you right-click on the frame and select "Add Freeze Frame", and it adds the freeze frame at the end of the clip rather than at the end of the project.

Grabbing still frames (JPG) from a video?

If I find a frame of video in my project that I'd like to convert to a .jpg file, is there anyway to make that happen? Sometimes I stumble across a frame that would make a great photo to add to my iPhoto collection.
I can do this in Final Cut Express and the old iMovie HD but I can't figure out that process in iMovie '09.
Thanks,
MB!

Good news, it's easy. Put the cursor on the frame in the event or project, right-click (command-click) and choose "add still frame (to project)" or something similar (I've got it in spanish). Then right-click on the added still and choose reveal in finder. There's your jpeg file (seems to be in "stills" folder within the iMovie project).

Exporting Still Frames from iMovie

I have managed to extract still frames from videos and put them back into iMovie. I would now like to export some still frames from iMovie and put them into a Word document. I can't seem to figure out how to do this. Any ideas?

set playhead at wanted position of clip ..
ctr-click, choose 'add still frame to Project'
in Project window, click on new clip, ctrl-click, choose 'reveal in Finder'
from Finder, copy .jpg to any other location of harddrive
drag that copy into your document..

Can no longer add still frame

In iMovie 09 I previously was able to select a movie clip and make a photo of it to put into the movie. Af first, it allowed me to do so by right clicking and selecting Add Still Frame to Project. Then, it recently switched to holding Control and clicking to bring up that option. I did that just yesterday! Now that option no longer appears. Why take this away? Does anyone know how to do this now?

In the Event, it is still called Add Still Frame to Project and it adds it the end.
In the Project, it is now called Add Freeze Frame, and it adds at the end of the current clip. This is useful if you have a clip that you want to freeze on the last frame and apply a Ken Burns Effect to extent the shot.

Re: iMovie still frames... are you able to convert to a jpeg file?

Take a lot of underwater video and would like to be able to convert the still frames created in iMovie to jpeg files for photo publishing purposes. Anyone know if this is possible?

Does this help: https://discussions.apple.com/message/12811526#12811526
I'm not sure if you want to grab a few stills or create a "still image sequence" but that technique ought to work.

Use a still frame elsewhere

I want to take a still frame from an iMovie project and use it in another, non-iMovie, project. I find the frame I want in the event browser, right click it, and select Add Still Frame to Project. My selected still appears at the end of the video on the story board. Now what? I cannot drag it to a non-iMovie folder and cannot copy/paste it to the non-iMovie folder. Right clicking the still does not present Reveal in Finder as suggested in the book I bought. Thank you

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

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!

Problem Previewing HD Project on NTSC Monitor - Only Still Frames...

Hello all.
I have a calibrated NTSC That i purchased for accurate monitoring of my projects.
I thought I tested on a HD project, but for some reason, now that I'm working on a major project it's not working properly.
When I'm editing, it will display still frames but not video. Before anyone suggests it, i have triple checked that the External monitor setting in the view menu is on All Frames.
Any suggestions?
-aj

But it won't for HD. For HD you need an HD capture card and HD monitor.
If you are working with DVCPRO HD from a Varicam or HVX, then you can monitor to an HD monitor routing thru an AJ-HD1200 or 1400...or if you have a capture card with analoge outs like the Kona 2 then you can monitor on an SD monitor.
You cannot monitor HD with the same setup you use for SD. Sorry.
