Still pictures from new canon XL H1

Hi everyone,
Why are there horizontal lines showing up in still pictures pulled out of footage shot with the new canon XL H1?
Footage is shot at 1080i, and 60 frames a second, directly into the Panasonic deck AJ-HD1200 via SDI out, and so supposedly uncompressed. Imported into FCP and the still pictures are saved as a tiff without compression.
Horizontal lines show up around edges where contrast is higher or where the object was moving.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thank for your help!

These are likely interlacing artifacts and there are two ways to get rid of the them.
1. capture a still with NO motion in the frame
2. use the deinterlace filter in photoshop. It will throw away 1 field (1/2 of the image) then interpolate between the remaining pixels to maintain the pixel count. The amount of degredation of the resulting image depends heavily on the original image quality.
good luck.

  • 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,

    I'm using windows 7, trying to download pictures from my canon 5d mark 2, but when I click import, the camera does not appear. I've tried changing USB ports, switching the camera on and off, trying a different USB cord, tried a different camera, but nothing. Please help! This problem only started a few days ago on lightroom 3.6, upgraded to 5.5, but still not working. Thanks.

    Can you see the Canon EOS camera and image files using Windows Explorer? If not disconnect the camera, close all applications' shutdown Windows, and TURN OFF the power to your system and ALL connected devices. Disconnect all phones, iPads, and any other USB devices and restart your system.
    Retry Windows Explorer and see if your camera is showing. If so try LR import again.

  • 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).

  • 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,

    .. 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..

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

    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.

  • How do you capture a still picture from DVD

    How do you capture a still picture from a DVD

    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.

  • 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).

  • Lightroom 5.2 will not import a Canon CR2 picture from my Canon EOS Rebel XSi

    Lightroom 5.2 will not import a Canon CR2 picture from my Canon EOS Rebel XSi

    I have this camera model and it has been supported by Adobe products for many years, already, including LR 5.2.
    If your XSi CR2 files won’t import into LR, then something may have corrupted the files, or the process you’re using isn’t quite right.
    As others have said, please give more details of the process you’re using, any error messages you receive, and if necessary, you can supply a CR2 file for others to examine, by uploading to http://www.dropbox.com and posting a public download link to a reply, here.

  • 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.
