Still images from FCP Studio 2

Ok, I have done it again. I edited a documetnary yet, forgot to have a photographer on the set.
I have captured some great images using my HVX200 but of course when exporting a still from FCP, the resolutin is only 72dpi and I need 300.
Could I import teh stills from FCP into Photoshop and just change the dpi? Would this be suitable for printing the images?
When doing that, it seems just to make them a larger photo.
THANKS!
Lawrence

Yes, you can change the DPI to 300. No, this won't make the images any sharper.  They started out 1280x1080, 72dpi.  Merely increasing the DPI won't make them higher resolution.  It will still look like video.  If you hire a photoshop pro, a graphics designer, they might have a few plugins in their toolkit that can help, like Genuine Fracals that help with upscaling smaller images, plus know-how on how to deal with this. But it won't look like it originated from a 12 MP camera.
Suitable for printing? That's up to you. How does it look to you?

  • Dragging a large still image from the browser into the viewer crashes FCP

    Okay, I've not seen this problem until just a couple days ago but was wondering if it was just me or if everyone has this problem? I've found a work-around, but let me explain the problem first.
    I'm creating a growing up photo montage. I scanned all of the pictures myself at 300 dpi (as I've always done in the past) and saved them as TIF files. Some pictures as relatively small, i.e. 3.5 mb is size and do just fine, but it appears anytime I drop a picture into the viewer in preparation for the the timeline, it will crash FCP if the image file is any larger than about 5 or 5.5 MB. Now I know there is a limit on the resolution of a still and it shouldn't be any larger than 4000 pixels in either direction, but that is not my problem, the problem appears to occur with large files. I've used large still files before in past projects without any problem, so this is why I'm stumped. I've went as far as trashing my preferences, but that didn't change anything. I've even tested a still image from a past project that was something around 9 MB (or was it 19 mb?) in any case, it also crashed FCP but... I've used that picture before in past projects without any problem. I even created a new test project just in case my project file itself had a problem.
    My work-around is to simply drop the still image from the browser directly into the timeline, thus bypassing the viewer. This works every time without a hitch. I can even double-click on the still now setting in the timeline to load it into the viewer so I can add effects or keyframes or whatever without any problems (thank goodness). So, has anyone else experienced this problem or is it just me?

    Is this image saved in a colorspace mode that is anything other than RGB?
    CMYK & Grayscale images will cause problems.
    Some light reading regarding your choice of 300 dpi: http://www.scantips.com/no72dpi.html
    Unless you plan on panning and zooming your images, the best procedure is to use one of the video preset templates in Photoshop and paste your content into it. Scale and position using the Transform controls. For best results save as a TIFF without compression. Don't forget, always in RGB colorspace.

  • How do I save still image at DVD Studio Pro?

    hello,
    how do I save some still image from my track to use as background menu on DVD Studio Pro?
    thx

    I'm not certain a screenshot would give you as good quality as the actual export still image option. I mean, if the function is there, why not just use it? Heck you could even set up FCP to just right click something and have it open in Photoshop right from the timeline... screenshots are fine as a last resort, but using the export command would be better I'd think.
    And really, on DVDS, the still images in a menu background end up as a movie too anyway eventually so why not just build your menu background in FCP, make it look all good (you can import Photoshop files into the timeline) and export it out as a movie to Compressor and then to DVDSP? That's how i do it and the menus look great.

  • Creating Still Images in FCP

    In FCP, How do I create still images and then save them in a high quality jpg format that can be used for websites and promotion?

    To create a still image from video in FCP, place the Timeline playhead on the frame you want to use, then go to File->Export->Using QuickTime Conversion. Once the export window opens, choose Still Image from the FORMAT menu and then choose the file type from the OPTIONS menu. Give the image file a name, navigate to the location you want to save it and hit SAVE.

  • Can I capture a still image from a quicktime movie?

    Can I capture a still image from a quicktime movie?

    Yes. But how you do it depends on your version of quicktime.
    If you have the pro version, you can easily use the "Export" option to output the video as a series of images.
    For the basic version of quicktime, or if you want to quickly take make a still image of a single frame, you could just use the "Grab" application in OSX to take a screen shot.

  • How can I take a still image from a video?

    How can I take a still image from a video?

    I'll assume you want to create a still to use outside FCPX, not a still frame within FCPX.  It's kinda hidden in the "share."  Go File/Share/Add Destination.  You want "Save Current Frame."  After you've created that destination, it'll be there for you in the future under Share.

  • I am unable to import Raw still images from a Nikon D 80 into Premiere Pro cs 4. All jpeg images ok

    I am unable to Import RAW still Images from a Nikon D 80 camera into
    Premiere Pro. All jpeg images import Ok. A web search suggests I need "plug-ins" for RAW, but I can not find  same. Any suggestions as to how to inport RAW files to PP CS 4 would be appreciated. I have just updated from Premiere Elements 4 which had no problem importing RAW still images.
    Roygo

    The way I see it (correct me if I'm wrong) but Raw is supposed to be where you have total editing control of the shot (as opposed to the camera). I believe the next step is to do the editing (i.e. color balance, exposure, etc) then make a regular image from that to use in whatever output you desire (print, web, etc.) Think of raw as the negative. Just being in raw doesn't in it self make it better.
    Edit. This is from premiere help files....
    Supported still‑image and sequence file formats
    Adobe Premiere Pro supports 8-bit per-channel (4 bytes per pixel) and 16-bit per-channel (8 bytes per pixel) still-image files. It converts images with lower bit-depths to 8-bits per channel and images with higher bit-depths to 16-bits per channel on import. High bit-depth files are supported at one single-precision float per channel (16-bytes per pixel).

  • DVCPRO HD 720P: pixel aspect ratios with still images from Final Cut

    I am currently trying to get still images from a trailer I am working on with Final cut pro. The footage is DVCPRO HD 720P 24pn and the interlacing and pixel aspect ratios have been giving me a lot of trouble in photoshop. I am able to convert the PAR but it is for preview purposes only...? I need the file to be saved with the converted PAR. How do you do that???
    Also, the de-interlacing filter on photoshop doesn't seem to help the quality of the photo.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    I have searched and searched and only found somewhat related questions, so maybe I am the only one trying to do this...

    Why are you doing interlace if you have 720p?
