Stills from 16:9 video

When I make a still from a 16:9 image it squeezes it to 4:3. I'm asuming I nedd to move it into photoshop to fix it. Any advice on the process would be very much appreciated.

actually, although you record the footage in 16:9/widescreen mode, the camera actually squeezes the image to 4:3 and records it as such ... then when you bring that footage in to FCP, as 16:9 Anamorphic, the display of the raw 4:3 data is stretched back out so that it looks 16:9 again.
and you are absolutely correct, the image can be stretched back out to the 16:9 aspect in photoshop or any other suitable image processing application
if you are dealing with an export from PAL, resize the image to 1024 x 576

Is there a software program that automatically save stills from a QT video?

Just wondering if there's any software out there that will automatically save stills from a QT video? There's a program called Image Grabber by Cliprex that does this but it only works on PC's. You run it and it makes like 100 imge captures from the video clip and lets you go in and pick the best ones. Anyone know if there's a Mac equivallent out there that does this? Right now, the only way I know to get stills from a QT video is to manually go through it frame by frame and copy/paste, which is obviously very time & labor intensive. I would love to find something that does it for me automatically.

Hello Doug,
My first recommendation is to take a screen shot of your QT movie using not Preview but Snap Pro X. (You already know: you must pause the QT movie before taking the screen shot of the target frame.) Snap Pro X is the equivalent of Image Grabber for Windows machines.
SPX offers a choice of what size image (10% to 400%) you want and where to save the image (which you name in the window provided). I usually take screenshots with this app @ 100% and select "Save to Clipboard" because then you can open the clipboard image in GraphicConverter or PhotoShop Elements or PhotoShop and then set ppi resolution, adjust size or make any of the modification features available with these applications.

Also, I'm not certain but I "think" GraphicConverter can select a single frame from a QT movie. The best little trick is use is to open the clipboard mounted images using one of the "New from Clipboard" menu options. There is now a separate manual in pdf for GC; there've been so many new features added that it's wise to spend the extra money. GC is one of the best deals and best supported-by-author applications you can buy.

Both apps are shareware. Updates are free for GC but I'm not sure about Snap Pro X.

How can I take a still from an iPhoto video clip?

My ipad camera got stuck on the video button so every picture has come out as a video clip. Can anyone tell me how to extract still photos from a video? I don't know which version of iphoto is on my ipad.

The iPhoto for iOS forum is here

Best iso for a7s mechanical shutter? what about the dynamic range in stills from s-log2 video?

for s-log2 video the best iso apparently is 3200.(or higher)
if i shoot stills using the mechanical shutter, what iso gives the best dynamic range?
how about if i use s-log 2 silent shutter while exposing still photos,
or if i use s-log2 video, capture a frame, and output using an LUT,
how does the dynamic range in those scenarios compare to that of a still photo?
how can i get a sony supply an LUT for s-log2 video?
thanks,
chris

Note that AutoCad is not an avanced software, it only uses one cpu thread (so if you have a fast solo processor that's all AutoCad makes use of) but the cpus mentioned above are the fastest cpus per single core. I don't know about the Premiere Pro i.e. what this program does in the regard of utilizing all cores and threads, but AutoCad for sure does not. So an AutoCad machine only needs a fast CPU, good memory and a graphics card that AutoCad knows how to make use of in 3D (if you are using AutoCad for 3D) but AutoCad is definitely not the program to consider for use in 3D modeling. AutoCad is still vector based program (and probably will continue to be in future, since there will always be some need for vector based design software) but Autodesk does have software that is not vector based like Inventor.

Hi. Downloaded iphone 6.0 and my video playlists in "Music" are now gone, but their names are still there. The videos are still in "Videos" and play from there 1 at a time manually.

Hi. Downloaded iphone 6.0 and my video playlists in "Music" are now gone, but their names are still there. The videos are still in "Videos" and play from there 1 at a time manually. It gets weirder:
When looking at the empty screen with the name of my former playlist on top, if I tap the edit button on the phone, tap the + button to add a 'song' to the playlist, and then tap 'Done' without adding anything, I can see all my videos in the playlist with the red minus symbol next to each of them. But as soon as I tap 'Done' again they all disappear!
I saw on another forum that someone has had the same problem but fixed it by, and I quote
"If you go to Get Info and change the Media Kind from Movie to Music Video under the Options tab, they all now appear in the playlists!"
I'm happy this worked for him, but when I tap "File" in itunes, the "Get info" field is greyed out, so I can't test the solution proposed.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Same problem on my ipad 2...but it works well on my iphone 4s.

How do I capture good stills from video on Photoshop Elements 8?

I'm using Photoshop Elements 8. When I try to capture still photos from video clips, the results are not very satisfactory. Usually the stills are very unclear, not sharp like I want them to be. I have to make many attempts to capture a still before I can get one that's halfway clear.   Does it have to be this way?   What can I do to get consistently clear stills from video? Thank you!

Fair enough, Barbara. Thanks!

Frame from Video is more or less a legacy feature in PSE 8. It was meant to capture a frame or two from a short homemade video at a low resolution. It doesn't do HD video at all, and isn't meant for a clip that's more than a minute or so in length. It's been dropped from the latest version because nobody has those kinds of movies anymore.
So the bottom line is you're better off doing this with some other program than with PSE.

I have an iMovie that I created 10 years ago. I found the disk and imported. Everything is there except the sound! I converted in Wondershare to MPV4 but still no sound. There is an audio clip that was imported from an analog video camera.

A small update to this issue....
I have been trawling the forums to find an answer but to no avail...
And... I've tried exporting and bouncing individual stems and the full session, either by muting all bar the stem or soloing the stem.....and still nothing.
Same problems.....everything is audible in audition but nothing plays on playback.
Since the 'prelisten' channel strip is Solo safe this would indicate that you have a track or channel strip soloed somewhere else, out of sight. Are the Mute buttons on your channel strips blinking?

Trouble Pulling Stills From Video

Hi everyone, I am new to these forums and I have been using iMovie 09 for about a year with almost no problems. I am encountering one now though and I was wondering if anyone could help me.
I have a project made up of stills that I have pulled from video clips. I have done this many times just by adding a still frame to the video and then choosing the reveal in finder option from the right click menu. This has always worked for me and I have been able to move/ copy/ paste theses files from the finder.
However, now I have about 70 pictures in the one project I made and when i do reveal in finder, not all of them are there. There are certain pictures that I can not see in the finder but I can in my imovie project. I was wondering why this is or how I can export these still pictures so that i can use them to say post to facebook or something. If it makes a difference I have deleted the original video clip from imovie but there are plenty of pictures in there that i have done the same for and they still reveal in the finder. If anyone could help me get these still frames to a file outside of IMovie it would greatly appreciated.
Thank You!

Hi there DBuck,
There are a couple of methods for making screenshots from your operating system. There is an article about how you can take a screenshots of any application, including a screenshot of a user-defined area, and that article can be found right here:

Hi BGreg,
The disc WAS injected when I first discovered that. It doesn't sto garageband (maybe other apps too) from reading & opening the files.

IMovie 11 does not allow the capture of a still from video

I am really ticked off. I just upgraded to iMovie 11 and couldn't capture a still from my video. I called support to see what I needed to do and was told that THIS FEATURE IS NOT ON iMovie 11.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!
How could such a basic feature be eliminated? Of course now I can make movie trailers, a cool feature, but...

Oh yes, as AppleMan1958 wrote, it IS a good workaraound to get jpg (or tiff...) stills from Imovie 11: If you make freeze frames and export the project via Quicktime with the option "Image sequence", you can choose in the options if you want jpg's or tiff's or...
If you set the duration of the freeze frames to 0.1 s before the export (you can choose all and set the duration for all at the same time), you only get two or three stills by freeze frame.

I have quicktime player 7.7.2. A relative video clips from his phone. Previously they downloaded with both video and audio. As of Sept. 30 only the audio downloads, yet Quicktime still plays older saved video/audio clips. Help?

I have Quicktime Player 7.7.2. A relative has been sending video clips from his phone since June, and until Sept. 30 both the video and audio would download. SInce that date only the audio downloads, yet I can still open and play the older saved videos just fine. I tried looking at QuickTime help info available. One place said something about purchasing Quick Pro for use with 7.7.2, but if I need that, why can I still open older saved videos? Thanks for any help.

I'm adding more information:
in Finder, my iMovie folders are all visible and accessible. When I click on a clip from iMovie Events folder, Quicktime opens and plays the clip. ALL my video is not missing - it just isn't showing up in the Event Library!
This happened all of a sudden, while I was working on iMovie project (on both computers).
All my Projects are intact, and play when I open them.

Taking a still from a video

I have loaded some video clips from my digital camera into iPhoto, and would like to select and extract some single still frames. I don't understand the advice about red lines on browsers and so on when i feed this idea into "Help". Please can anyone tell me if and how it can be done?

What is your iPhoto version? Early iMovie versions (before iMovie 9) could extract a still frames form a video, but the current iPhoto and iMovie cannot do this.
I am using Aperture's video editor to extract single frames from a video, but it would be bit expensive to upgrade to Aperture just for still frames.
if you do not need full resolution images - just the full screen size, simply view your video in full screen mode, advance the video to the frame you want and take a screenshot with (Shift+Comm+3). This wills save a photo to the Desktop.
Or use the professional version if QuickTime 7, if you have it. File > Export will save a still frame in ".pct" format.
Otherwise you will need third party apps; I have seen MPEG Streamclip recommended for this, but have not used it myself.
