Still picture from video

How do you make a still picture from a video?

Hi ya,
Pause the video and then tap the screen to make the pause/play menu disappear. Then press the home & lock button at the same time to make a screen shot.
The picture will be saved portrait and so you'll need to download the Photoshop app or something similar to rotate the image the right was up.

How can I export a still picture from a video clip?

How can I export a still picture from a video clip?

I'm able to export stills from iMovie without anything extra. I create a new project - call it Exports say. Now, in your event clip with the frames you want as stills, select a single frame and drag it into your project. Repeat for other stills you want to export. Then choose Share -> Export Using QuickTime.
In the pop-up, choose Movie to Image Sequence. Click Options and choose the image format you want. Playing with the number of stills lets you pick how many stills you want from each second of video. Hit OK and the stills will be generated in the directory you choose.
I've only done this with HD video. Don't know how well it works with lower res, interlaced vid.
HTH,
Tom

Still picture from an iMovie video

Can you get a still picture from an iMovie video and import it into iPhoto as a photo?

To save a still frame from recent versions of iMovie 10., move playhead to frame that you want and select File - Share - Image. Enter name and location. I guess you can import the file into iPhoto from there (I don't use iPhoto myself).

I have a MacBook Pro. How do I capture a still picture from a video in iMovie and print the still picture?

I have a MacBook Pro. How do I capture a still picture from a video in iMovie and print the still picture?

Click iMovie/About. If you have version 9.0.4 (iMovie 11) this will work. If you have an earlier version, this will also work, but there are also other ways.
First, get an app called MPEG Streamclip, which is free. (MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5)
Open MPEG Streamclip.
In iMovie, select the clip you need. Then, right-click/Reveal in Finder.
Drag this clip 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.
I have created a short video Tutorial on how to do this. There is one error in the Tutorial, where it says that Command-click is the same as right-click. I should have said Control-click instead.

Is there a way to create a picture from video in iMovie 11

Is there a way to create a jpg picture from video in imovie?
I have noticed several work arounds which are not so easy. This was previously a feature that was very helpful to put in stills in the drop zones in idvd from your video project. Only makes sense. Why has it been removed?

See my post here.

Capturing still pictures from a digital camcorder

I use a Canon mini DV digital camcorder and want to capture some still pictures from the movies to place in a book I am doing in IPHOTO....is this possible?

If your canon mini dv camcorder is anything like mine then keep in mind that while shooting you have the option of taking great hi res images as well as continuous high quality video. You just have to make the extra effort to push the photo button if you happen to see a great shot. You can capture the image to an SD card most likely or to tape (I prefer SD Cards for still images).
Or as stated above already you can make your own still from the actual video footage (altho usually at a lower resolution).

Create still images from video files?

from http://gadgetwise.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/04/16/5-new-photoshop-tips-for-photographers/ , "You can now preview video in Bridge and create still images from video files."
I just installed the 5.4 Camera Raw Update.
I can preview the AVI files from my Nikon D5000, but have not figured out how I might create a still image ( other than stopping the movie, and dragging to copy ) Have tried searching adobe, this forum, have not found more info ion this.

Stop the video at the desired point, press the Shift, Command, and 4 keys, drag the cursor so that the whole picture is highlighted, let go of the button, and open the PNG on the desktop.

Still picture from a .mov clip

Hello,
the last update brings the capability of making still pictures. When i am making a still picture from a movie-file (.mov, .mpeg, .mp4) comressed with h264, the still picture is not shown correctly in the viewer.
But when making a still photo from an .avi, the photo is displayed in the viewer.
Thanks for help,
Achim

.. unfortunately not, because I can not recreate here your 'effect'.. your file works flawless within my iM08 vers.7.1., QT 7.2.0/7.2 , the still looks charming, no distortions, Mr Bublath in his all beauty ( ? ) ..
funny enough: I do have perian and many plug-ins installed, which are known here for making trouble, and my system works like charm.. as 99.8% of 'trouble' posted in this board don't happen to me..
here's a last and desperate advice:
how much free disk space is on your internal harddrve?
in case, you did partition it: on System Partition?
should be never below 10-15GB..

It will be right next to the movie in your library and the jpg file will end up on your hard disk right next to the movie file. You can see the actual file by right (or control) clicking on the image in the library view and selecting "show in Finder/Explorer"

How can I extract a still picture from footage in imovie, add text to it and print it ?

Assuming you have iMovie 11 (also known as Version 9.0.4), here is how you do it. (If you have a different version, let me know. The instructions will be different).
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.
Drag this clip 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 use this photo in Photoshop, Pixelmator, Acorn, or the app of your choice to add text.
Here is a demo I made the other day for how to extract the still image using MPEG Streamclip.

Making still picture from movie

I made a still picture from my movie. (which you can do in the old iMovie) but it won't let me drag it into iMovie08. The still picture shows up as a mp4. Is there a way to convert to jpeg? How can I make a picture out of a movie and have it work in iMovie 08? Thanks

Is there a way to convert to jpeg? How can I make a picture out of a movie and have it work in iMovie 08?
You can, of course, convert an MP4 frame to a JPEG compressed PICT image file using any application have access to the QT conversion structure. But wouldn't it be easier to just create/copy a JPEG image from within iMovie '08?
1) Select the frame you want in the event window and move it to any iMovie '08 project using the "Add Still Frame to Project" context menu option.
2) Highlight the "still frame" segment now in the project window and select the "Reveal in Finder" context menu option.
3) Move/use the "revealed" JPEG image files as needed/desired or open it in the "Preview" application to save it in another image compression format to any "visible" drive location.
